So will the 9800gtx be backwards compatible regarding PCI-E 1.1/1.0 ?

[killer_uk]

So.

965p is supported by pci-e 1.1
975x isnt supported by pci-e 1.1
p35 is supported by pci-e 1.1

If thats right, my GA_965p_DQ6 rev 3.3 should support pci-e 1.1, correct me if im mistaken.

That is correct

you know folks I would just see what the REAL details are on PCIE slots and support when official details are released nearer to launch time and stop speculating.

But we aren't. Asus said thats pci-e 2.0 wont work on 1.0 version but will on 1.1 version.

Im guessing all p35 boards have pcie 1.1 as it was rumoured to have pcie 2.0

You mean mis-read

I'm assuming that NVIDIA 680i boards (Striker Extreme) will be fine as they would have thought about this if it is true (unless they want us to upgrade to 780i SLI's....).

I hope the 680i does support it, or im moving to an Intel, ATi setup again...

Yeah if the 9800GTX doesn't work with my eVGA 680i then I won't be buying one, I'm not spending £180 on a motherboard for it only to last 1 year.

So what is my ASUS A8N32-SLi Deluxe then?

All nforce 4 boards look like thier pci-e1.0, but im not totally sure.

apperently, my 650i is compatible, so i would surely think that the 680i is

 

[CaNNoN_1981]

Is my DS3P 1.1 compat?

 

[Vai]

Interesting, I sent an email to ask ASUS what version of PCI-E my nForce4 (A8N-SLI Premium) motherboard uses, they have just replied saying it is 1.1.

I don't know how much I trust their support department, however it looks like nForce4 isn't limited to just 1.0a.

 

[rounddodger]

Whoop! So by all accounts I'm okay with my Asus P5B-Deluxe then?

*fingers crossed!

 

[milkinc13]

are there any web-sites where u can look and see if ** mobo is pci-e 1, or 1.1?

 

[Talrinys]

Whats the bet the GFX card manefaturers release a PCIE 1.0 version of the GTX... if there's money to be made it will probably happen.

Slim chance i guess, they want to take advantage of PCI-E2 as far as they can, and backwards compatability is really just for that, compatability, it wouldn't make sense to backport it to an old standard which won't provide enough juice. Besides the badaxe is old and lacking in other points for next years race, which is after all what the 9800GTX will be in the game for, so let it rest
