?

no

QFT

are you asking if a pci-express card will fit in a agp 8x slot? no
but maybe i misunderstand your question

 

[allanon1965]

no they are two different interfaces.....you cant put an AGP card into a PCI-E slot.....and vice versa....

 

[sharkeeper]

Methinks not...

You cannot put a peg in a square hole. There are no such things as square pegs just waves.

 

[AndyHui]

Definitely not. The slots are physically different, and electrically incompatible.

 

[n7]

Negative.

 

[AMDCrazy]

UH...NO

 

[Valkerie]

they have mobos with PCI-e and AGP 8x, but I don't think you can SLi and AGP card and a PCI card or PCI-e.

some of the mobos are not promising in performance, but a few companies did it right...

sorry, I'm not gonna dig up the links. God gave us an ability to search, search out, children.

No way in hell, it would like putting an ISA card into an AGP slot.

 

[imported_Kensai]

Ignoring the rather nasty people above, the answer to your question is No, PCI-E x16 is not backwards compatible with AGP x8.

Andy Hui said it perfectly.

 

[biostud]

yes.............uh, I meant no.

 

[Continuity28]

Dot dot dot

 

[t3h l337 n3wb]

Maybe.

 

[RaiderJ]

Don't listen to everyone. It will fit just fine! Although it will only run at half speed (8x vs x16).

 

[theMan]

im sure you could get it to fit in there somehow. just place the card over the slot, and with a happer tap the top of the card until it goes in. cracking sounds are perfectly normal.

 

[DaFinn]

Nothing a dremel couldn't fix...

 

[EvilRage]

Kind of.

Whoa, that's awesome! Is it fully compatable with everything, or are there like some bugs?
