Why under AMD Catalyst Control Center under hardware info it says, Graphics Bus Capability PCI Express 2.0 Maximum Bus Setting PCI Express 2.0 x16
I thought the card comes with the new PCIe Xpress version 3.0 ? I have a Gigabyte 990 FXA-UD3 Motherboard is that all the motherboard is capable of 2.0? Thanks for a response... Repo

At this particular time boards with Amd chipsets dont have pci-e 3.0, the difference is negligible as where the difference between something like usb 2.0 and 3.0 is at times like 145% faster ha. So in other words dont sweat it as the bandwidth supplied by the current pci express lane is more than enough.
