Problem with PCI-e 1.x boards starts with PCI-e 3.0 GPU's.
Since both Fermi cards (GTX 4xx/5xx) and Radeon HD 5xxx/6xxx series are PCI-e 2.0 native, they should work in any PCI-e 1.x board.
Kepler and 7xxx series may not work on all PCI-e 1.x MB's.
Indeed, but since they work on something as funky as ASRock AGP/PCI-e (with few BIOS tweaks, more : LINK).swaaye wrote:I've read of problems with some PCIe 2.0 cards on some PCIe 1.x boards. I guess motherboards vary.

The board had PCIe 1.x on nForce4 chipset. (Gigabyte GAK8-NE)
I used to sell video cards back in the day. I advise NOT to buy used G80 and G92 (65 and 55nm) cards, 90% of them are doorstops.(G92 cards were pretty much what caused BFG to go out of business.) Just friendly advice.
If you want a Tesla microarchitecture (which is what you mentioned) card a 55nm GT200 chip is the best buy.(GTX 285 is bulletproof)

Not true. I've never had any issues with my XFX 8800GTX or my EVGA 9800GTX+ OR even my hotter-than-hell-itself MSI 9800GX2 which is literally 2 8800GTS on a single card. I think I paid 25 for each of mine on eBay.
G80 and G92 are fine. Just don't buy stuff that looks like it was hit by a freight train (and some does on eBay) and you will be fine.

I won't argue. I'm glad you got yourself good units.
When I said I sold video cards I didn't mean like, yay, I sold something on eBay. I mean, like, I sold liquidated refurb stock, some new store leftover stock. Have you ever seen a railcar before? Now stack video cards until you fill the whole railcar. That would give you a more accurate picture of the volume of stock I sold. I was in business 2010-2014, liquidating BFG stock was my early boost.
I will leave it there. I will not argue and I have really nothing to gain.
