I learned about the developments for USB 3.1 or whatever they call the successor to USB 3.0 which is due to be released in 18 months. Even though it is twice as fast as USB 3.0, it will not be backwards compatible. I have a couple of questions regarding the future of both USB 2.0 and 3.0.
1. I am planning to build a gaming PC. I have Logitech gaming hardware which are all USB 2.0. Will PC gaming hardware manufacturers start requiring gamers to have USB 3.0 or 3.1 ports for their products or will they stick with USB 2.0?
2. I am considering either an ASUS Maximus VI Hero or Gigabyte
GA-Z87X-UD4H for the motherboard. Will the PCI Express x1, PCI Express 2.0 (x4, x8, or x16), or PCI Express 3.0 (x4, x8, or x16) bottleneck a USB 3.0 expansion card If I choose to add one on a future upgrade?
Thanks.
