It will work in any PCIE x16 port, even if it's not 3.0, and even if the port runs at less than x16 like x8 or x4.

oh wow.. I just noticed that is only has a PCIE 1.0 and not PCIE 2.0. so Im assuming the R9 280X will suffer alot in performance..

You might lose a few frames per second but it will still work well for the most part.

it will still work but the memory bandwidth will be 4 times lower so performance will be lost but it will still work

look man, if you have a gpu installed on the slot, download gpu-z, run it, press the question mark beside bus interface, start the render, and see if it reads 1.0 or 2.0 or x8 or x16.
