PCIe 2.1 in 1.0 x16 Slot (eVGA 650i Ultra)

Your sure, even by that far? Pcie 2.1 in a 1.0 lane? If so, im holding you accounatable for if it doesnt work. Lots of people on the net say it doeant. Do you have any proof?
 
If there was doubt and getting conflicting reports i would call the manufacture of the video
card and explain what i have. Will it fit. At least it will be on record for a return.
Just a thought.

Why ask for help if you're not going to listen?

Yes they are backwards compatible.
 
I've run my 6870 in my old Machspeed board with PCIe 1.0. It'll work.

Now either listen to us or don't.
 
98% of the time it will work. There were a few 1.0 boards that had a problem. They had problems with 2.0 cards, which would apply for 3.0 cards too. Most had the problem fixed with a bios update, not sure they all did. Cant remember which boards they were. But it seems like they were some VIA chipset boards and maybe a few Nvidia chipsets. But it wasnt really a chipset problem is was a bios issue.
