Will gtx 550 TI perform bottle neck on PCIe 1.1 slot?

[marvin9000]

I want to buy new graphic card GTX 550TI but i'm afraid it will not reach its full bandwidth on pcie 1.1 slot?? What do you think?

my specs:

Q8300
asus g41 with pcix16 1.1
4gb ddr2 dual channel

It won't effect it in any noticable way, that card isn't fast enough to use all of the bandwitdh of the 1.1 slot in games, you might find some synthetic benchmark where you could find 1 or 2% difference, but even really high end cards show no real FPS difference in games in x8 vs x16 slots until you start pushing resolutions higher than 2560x1600
