Hi,

I have an Asus lower end motherboard. I'm running two GTX 670 on PCI 2.0 x8 slots. Will running them on a motherboard that has PCI 3.0 with x8 or x16 slots improve performance? Thanks.

Nope, well, not really, the performance will not be very noticeable if at all. GPU's don't really use enough bandwidth to max out a PCIE 2.0 slot.

Just keep your current motherboard for the time being.
