hi guys, i just want to ask about GDDR5 PCI-E standard. because i've seen a lot of cards that has a GDDR5 on it and still recommends to operate on PCI-E 2.0.

let's say i have a 1G GDDR5 192 bit PCI-E 2.0 standard and i inserted it on a PCI-E 3.0 slot, is there any improvement to my card performance?

don't you think that cards with GDDR5 for PCI-E 2.0 is a bottleneck? because it has a faster memory and have to be operated in PCI-E 3.0 slot?

if your GPU is PCI-E 2 and you put it in a PCI-E 3 it will just run at PCI-E 2, no difference, and really there is not a huge difference in speed going from 2 to 3. so to your answer, no you will not see any improvements.
