Even the fastest of GPUs cannot populate the bandwidth of PCIe 3.0 slots. The physical dimensions are the same as a PCIe 2.0 slot so you have nothing to worry about.

Thank you for the quick response, so even though my motherboard says PCIe 2.0 and the specs of the card say 3.0, they will be fine together? sorry, im just worried ive bought an expensive GPU that wont fit in my motherboard lols

it will run your GPU fine as they have yet to utilize the the 3.0 PCIe feature in gpus
