Hi,
I would like to know if my GIGABYTE BA-P55A-UD5 motherboard is compatible with PCI-E3.0 GPU's, specifically GEFORCE GTX750 TI and AMD Radeon R7 260.
As far as I'm aware, this motherboard has only PCI_E2.0 (please correct me if I'm wrong), does these GPU have backwards compability? If they do, will it affect performance?
Thanks.

PCI-E 3.0 graphic cards are 100% backwards compatible with PCI-E 2.0 motherboards (and yes, your motherboard conforms to PCI-E 2.0 standards). It will not affect performance in any way. You are good to go with either of those graphic cards.
