Would a GeForce GTX 560 work in a PCI Express x16 slot?

First off I hope I'm not violating any rules ( I read through them and it seems like putting links in a post are ok), but anyways I have two questions: one is the title of the thread and one is at the bottom of this post.

The gfx card I am looking at currently:

The gfx card installed in my computer:

My motherboard:

This is actually from a yahoo answers question that I posted but no one got back to me about the speed part:

"So is having the 560 running at 1.0 speed even worth it then?"


Any help is appreciated, thanks.

Graphics card Master

PCIe 2.0 cards are generally backward compatible with PCIe 1.x motherboards, using the available bandwidth of PCI Express 1.1.

Graphics cards designed for v2.0 will be able to work with the motherboard being v1.1 or v1.0.

A PCIe 2.0 8x slot will have the same bandwidth as a previous revision PCIe 1.0 16 slot.

Yes the GeForce GTX 560 Ti is worth it.

Funny thing that I just noticed after having this setup for 3 years was that the back fan on my comp (that gave out a year ago and hasnt been replaced) was an 80 mm and not a 120 like newegg claims. The only 120 is the front fan. The sides are 80 like they should be.
