PCI-e version 2 card, does it work in a pci-e v1.1 board?

I ran into the insta-lock thread http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18103502 which I'm not trying to revive.

I thought pci-e 2.0 cards worked just fine (maybe fractionally slower?) in older boards. It seems the angry owner of the 5770 (which I assume is pci-e 2.0) disagrees with this.

I'm fairly sure the angry poster is ill informed, but he's sufficiently confident that I'm doubting myself. Could anyone confirm?
 
Wiki seemed to back me, but that's never terribly reliable. Looks like the chap's going to have fun at small claims.

Cheers guys
