PCI Express 2.0

Quick question. Couldn't find a direct answer on google so i come to all you fellow Pc enthusiests...

Do PCI Express 2.0 GPU's fit in PCI Express x16 slots? Like do 2.0 and x16 work the same just new name or something?

 

PCIe 2.0 is fully backward compatible with PCIe 1.1

 

the will do.

but i've heard some compatibility problems with v1.0 of my motherboard (which is the one i've got) so if it doesn't work, it's your motherboard.

So I have an ASUS M2N32 590 SLI Wireless Edition MB... you think a pci 2.0 will work in it? Will it even fit?

 

It will definitely fit, and you probably won't have any problems getting it work.
