Can i use a gtx 770 with 3.0 slot on a 1.1 slot motherboard

[Aaron Bailey]

Hello ,
I am wondering if it is possible to put my gtx770 on to my motherboard that has PCI-E 1.1 X16
The graphic card that i wont to install on to that slot is a PCI-E 3.0
Is it able to install will there be any problems with card going bad faster or can i actually install it on to the mobo ?

PCI-E is backwards compatible, but you will have some performance loss due to the lower transfer speed of 1.1. Here in this link to give you an idea, it's a few percent with 1.1 X16.

TBH, if it's 1.1 it's likely an older system that may hold the card back anyway.
