Is GTX 970 compatible with new coffee lake cpu / associated motherboard?

[jcrberger]

I heard the new coffee lake processors are not backward compatible. I am assuming yes, but will an older graphics card like a gtx 970 still fit into the required, newer, motherboard?

Yes, a 970 graphics card will work in a Coffee Lake motherboard.

When they say they are not backward compatible, they are talking about cpus.
