I'm having a mobo which has PCIe x 16 slot. Whereas the graphic cards in the market nowadays generally support PCIe x 16 2.0 or 2.1 . So, I wanna ask whether latest cards like hd 6770 or geforce 560ti would be compatible with my mobo or not ? By the way my PC is Compaq SG3540IL .

But I think that the graphic card would not be exploited to its full potential if it is used in PCIe x 16 slot.
