AMD has a point it has not moved to PCI 3.0 because there is no point in doing so..2-3 fps dont matter really, they only add up to the cost, AMD doesn't steal people's money, they respect people, they are not thieves like Intel or Nvidia, so they don't gull you wilth PCI 3.0 bullshit, if you are worried though, Asus has done this http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/SABERTOOTH_990FXGEN3_R20/ you can have PCI 3.0 on AMD boards for the first time, I don't recommend spending that much money, buy a better gpu instead
