Can I use a PCI 2.0 x16 Video Card on a PCI x16 slot ?

Is it Possible to do that ?|||PCI-E is backwards and forwards compatible

PCI-E 3.0 x16 = PCI-E 2.0 x32 = PCI-E 1.0-1.1 x64

PCI-E 3..0 x8 = PCI-E 2.0 x16 = PCI-E 1.0-1.1 x32



Video cards cards now are just now getting to a point where they can saturate the PCI-E 2.0 x8 bandwidth, which would mean PCI-E 1.0-1.1 PCI-E x16 is fully maxed|||Yes.

The only difference is that the bandwith will be low...

Meaning the graphics card won't work efficiently 100%
