can a agp 8x card be used on a mobo that only supports 4x?

[kusazero]

namely a GF 5700 (8x) used on a SiS 735 chipset mobo (4x)

thanks

Yes, but of course only at 4X.

 

[kusazero]

so, no conflict with the voltage or stuff?

sorry, i've been out of date with videocards since GF4

Not in this case. Current AGP 8x cards are designed to run at both 1.5v (AGP 4x) and 0.8v (AGP 8x).

I don't know of any 8x cards that aren't backward compatible to 4x.
