I'm told the "3.3v" vs "5v" only indicates which voltage is
used for signalling - not which power rail the card is using.
Some 3.3v cards pull power from the 5v rail and convert it to 3.3v
in order to get a "cleaner" or more accurate 3.3v than what
the PCI Spec (and some vendors) provides.

And for PCI 2.1, 3.3v power rail is optional.
That turned into a requirement for PCI 2.2 compliance.

(Caveat: this is all second hand info - I'm a SW dork - not HW eng.
  but I believe it's correct.)
