[akshay0009]

may i plzz know whether "pci express® 2 1 x16 bus interface compatible for pci-e 2.0 motherboard?"

DOES ATI HD 6850 (pci express® 2 1 x16 bus interface) work on my mobo "INTEL DG41RQ" (pci-e 2.0 motherboard)??

pcie 1 , 2 and 3 are both forward and backwards compatible.
You will have no compatibility issues with any pci-e graphics cards, and no performance issues so long as you are looking at a X8 pci-e slot at least.

Because your mobo is 2.0 it will work, 2.1 is the same as 2.0 according to a mod. ( actually 2.1 doesn't exist )

pci-e 2.0 is version and 1 mean that you are able to run one card at full speed like 1 x16 so its mean there is only one slot available for full speed.

???? Correct me if i'am wrong but you're saying that a 6870 for example which is sold as a 2.1 only can run at full speed, standing alone or just has one slot ??? What are you talking about ?????
