PCI Express 2.0 is backward compatible with PCI express 1.0 standard. Even though PCI Ex 1.0 has a lower bandwidth (data speed) compared to  PCI Ex 2.0, you will not see any difference because PCI Ex 1.0 has more than enough bandwidth for a single card. I don’t think the bandwidth of v2.0 is fully utilized by any card that exists today <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/no.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":no:" title="No    :no:" data-shortname=":no:" />.. Maybe in the future with faster cards it will be, and maybe if you run SLI/Crossfire dual/triple VGA cards it might help. But for you it will NOT make any difference.</blockquote>
