Can i plug a pcie 2.1 video card into a 2.0 slot?
Last response: in Graphics & Displays
hey there everyone just curious there. my local micro center has a hd 6850 for 119.99 this month would like to purchase but my board only has a 2.0 slot. is the 2.1 cards backward compatible or does a 2.1 card require a 2.1 slot for power purpose's? or is it just a marketing plot?
