Hi. Will it work in a PCI express 1.0 mobo? Thanks. null

More than likely. But depends on the model motherboard. PCI-E is pretty compatible across cards and motherboards. PCI-E 3.0 cards will work in 2.0 and 1.0 motherboards, and vice versa PCI-E 1.0 graphics cards will work in PCI-E 2.0 and 3.0 motherboards. There are however plenty of GPU and motherboard incompatibilities out there, but my experience its not related to the version of PCI-E, usually has to do with the motherboard BIOS/Firmware. I would recommend finding the model motherboard you have (or system if its a system you purchase assembled), and either contacting the manufacturer or doing some searches on video card upgrades.

Yep it will. It's backwards compatible, so it will certainly work in the 1.0 slot

Your best bet is to check with the motherboard manufacturer. Most cards are backwards compatible but power demands and older hardware create issues.Even if amd says yes or no, it really will depend on the board maker.

Best bet is to check with your mobo manufacturer because compatibility will vary. Don't guess or go by reviews online because they won't be able to back your warranty or return. May be time for a new mobo.
