Hello! Everyone I want some information about PCI-E 3.0 and 2.0. Because
Intel (1150) and AMD (FM2+) socket
Mother Board only provide PCI-E x16 Gen3 slot but FX-( am3+) socket Provide
PCI-E x16 Gen2 slots.
What is the key Difference Between Both 3.0 and 2.0 slots ?
 
Solution
Pcie gen 3 slot provides double the bandwidth as provided by gen 2
But in real world pcie gen 3 provides only about 1% performance benefit than Pcie gen2
So not much difference btw the two
