I have a 9800gt in my PCI-e 2.0 x16 slot. But I've read that it can also run in a 1.0 slot. It will work just fine.

yes,Its 100% compatible to backward ports also.
Mine zotac 9800gt is compatible with 1.1 pcie x16 slot (printed on the box itself ) but i am also using it in 2.0 slot.

Don't worry go for it and all the games listed above are fully played on 9800gt and it works fine.

To OP - I had 8800 GTS 512 that is PCIe 2.0 and GTX460 that is also PCIe 2.0 - both running on a PCIe 1.0 slot with no problem, so you should be fine.

There should be no issue regarding this just make sure the card is properly been placed and fitted and installation of proper drivers should be done .

Nothing else you need to care about.

Haha i love the reply after a year and a half later, i think it ended up being the motherboard being compatible with that GPU
