Does PCI-E x16 1.1 slow a graphic card ?

[Akhil Balaji]

I just bought a low-end ATI Radeon HD 5570 for my PC. But I found out that my motherboard has a PCI-E x16 1.1 . However the graphic card uses PCI-E x16 2.0. Since this graphic card has a bandwidth of around 80Gb/s (http://www.techpowerup.com/gpuz/ucaa3/) after OCing and the bandwidth of PCI-E x16 1.1 is 250 Gb/s so will it be okay to run it on the 1.1 without any loss in performance ?

With a GPU that underpowered, you should be fine. WIth a top end card I would worry, but you should be fine with the 5570.

Performance loss might only occur on 1080 resolution.other than that u are good since its a 5570.whats ur cpu?

It is not that bad until you start looking at 8x and 4x, it can handle up to a 5770 as long the card is not pci-e 2.1. Current cards that are mainstream as well low end don't saturate pci-e 2.0 enough to be concerned. If anything that will bottleneck a newer card on a older build will the cpu and chipset.

You'll be fine, the 5570 is a low end card so it wont matter.

Not much even on high end cards, check it out here http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/Intel/Ivy_Bridge_PCI-Express_Scaling/23.html

You literally will see no difference between PCIe x16 1.1 and PCIe x16 2.0 with that card.

no its just a PCI-E link speed and width to lower levels to conserve power when the card is idle
