Solution bignastyid Apr 24, 2014 No. There will be very little to no performance loss. The 7870 is not fast enough to be bottlenecked by the pci-e 2.0 bus.

josejones Distinguished Oct 27, 2010 901 0 18,990 Jun 13, 2015 #6 There are like 15 of these threads so, rather than start a new thread I'll just post here. At what point does a PCIe 2.0 motherboard hold back, cap or bottleneck a PCIe 3.0 GPU? Wouldn't newer games also be an issue?
