Is the card backwards compatible on a pci-e x16 2.0 slot?

Yes. All PCI-E are backwards compatible with each other. They will run at the speed of the motherboard (PCI-E 1x motherboard runs 3.0 video card as the 1.0 speed).

yes all PCIe technology is forward and backward compatible to the least common denominator if you put a 3.0 card in a 2.0 slot ir will run as 2.0if you put a 2.0 card in a 2.0 slot ir will run as 2.0if you put a 3.0 card in a 3.0 slot ir will run as 2.0if you put a 3.0 card in a 3.0 slot ir will run as 3.0same true with 2.1, 1.0, and 1.1 cards

Honestly, I don't know. I had problems fitting the graphics card in the first PCI-E 16x slot due to the RAM modules. Look at this video, it might help with your question: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zXbgyGLgAqk

yes, this card plugs into a pci-express x16 slot. the only problem you may run into is the physical size of the card, it may be a tight squeeze on your mobo.

It will work fine on a pcie 2.0 slot. Pcie 3.0 is backwards compatible with pcie 2.0. This will play most of the newest games on high-ultra high settings @1080p depending of course on the game.

No,it is a PCI slot only.You will have to buy one that is specifically PCI-E.

Yes.This card uses pci express 1.0, while that board supports pci express 2.0, but the newer standard is backwards compatible. This card will work just fine, though a card that supports pci express 2.0 may offer better performance.

Yup! I have mine on a PCI-e 2.0 (x16) and have no problems what so ever. As long as it gets the juice, you'll be just fine.

yes. Pci express 2.0 is fine. thats what mine is on. theres not a lot of boards w/ pci 3.0 anyway or they are very expensive. you'll lose nothing on a pci-E 2.0

Yes all cards are compatible with all motherboards that have the PCI-E 2.0 interface or higher. So your motherboard is compaible

Yes, you shouldn't have any issues. the card uses pci-e 2.0 or pci-e 3.0 your board is on the higher end so it should work perfectly with no issues.

Yes. Graphics cards are built with backwards compatibility built in, so a PCIe 3.0 X16 card (like this one) will work in a PCIe X16 slot. Check out the system requirements here: http://www.sapphiretech.com/presentation/product/?cid=1&gid=3&sgid=1226&pid=2021&lid=1#

YesYes, the PCI-E bus is a standard - the x1 to x16 indicates the number of lanes supported by the slot. You can get some good details from wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PCI_Express To summarize for you - as long as the slot has more lanes than the card you want to install in it, it'll work. So, you can put a x1, x4, x8 or x16 card into a x16 slot. The reverse it NOT true - you cannot put an x8 card into a x1 slot, for example. Good luck!

No motheboard needs a PCI e 2.0 slot. To verify contact nvidia.com/page/support.html

Yes. One of the two PCI-E x16 expansion slots is 3.0. The other PCI-E x16 expansion slot is 2.0 but runs at x4. The PCI-E x16 expansion slot that's closest to the CPU socket is the 3.0.

The card is 2.0 x16 compatible. Hopefully this will help you decide on your purchase.
