Lordadmiral Drake Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Yes, PCIe is backwards compatible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TH3L4UGH1NGM4N Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 6870 works OOB just as the 6850 albeit the the former being faster of course. I have a 6870 myself and it was literally plug n play for the gpu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
