i was wondering if 5830 HD would work on my PciE 1.1 x16 slot

Btw my motherboard is a M2N-CM DVI

pci express is backwards compatible even hd 5970 or gtx 580 would run fine on your motherboard.no worries.cheers.

[mrjericho1991]

Just make sure the HD 5830 is a PCI-e 2.0 card.

I know people have been reporting compatibility issues with a PCI-e 2.1 card in a PCI-e 1.0 slot. However, I don't know if that applies to the PCI-e 1.1 slot.
