PCI-E is backwards compatible, it will work in either slot without any trouble at all. So to conclude it will work in both a PCI-E 2.0 slot and 3.0 slot, as well as even older generation slots.

There's no difference in slot design or length between 2.0 & 3.0, and a 3.0 card will indeed work in 2.0 slot.

it doesn't "require" a 3.0 slot, it is just their recommended slot. With a card like that it makes no difference in a 2.0 slot at all, and to be true neither does it effect any other card. 3.0 slots only have a few extra added BIOS features, and no card is taken to a better advantage on 3.0 compared to 2.0 -
