Silly question really.......

But can a PCI-Express 1.1 video card fit into (and work properly in) a PCI-Express 2.0 motherboard slot?

And can a PCI-Express 2.0 video card work (albeit at a lower bandwidth) in a PCI-Express 1.1 motherboard slot?

I *AM* of course assuming both mobo slots in question are 16-lane.

Ah. Wikipedia to the rescue. I suppose I should look there first. XD
