GTX 980 in PCIE 1.0 x16 good?

[Noobbuilder21]

Would the GTX 980 bottleneck the PCIE 1.0 x16 slot? If so, how much?

PCIe 1.0 x16 is like PCIe 3.0 x4. Expect a 5-10% loss of performance.

As joex said, 980ti in a pci1.0 is still better than a 980 in a pci3.0

It may not even run . There are power delivery changes between PCI-e 1 and PCI-e 2 .
I think , but , am not sure , the change happened at 1.1 .

I would research this before spending the money . It may be critical that you have 1.1 and not just 1

I'd also be concerned that the cpu on a pcie 1.0 will bottleneck.

Depends on the CPU yes, but it will run, PCI-E is made backwards compatible.

As i pointed out earlier this is not always the case and can not be relied upon
