I have desktop and its specs are intel i3, 4gb ram and its running nvidia 610 geforce 2gb graphic card. I have pci 2.0 bus. I got to know through your posts that pci 3.0 graphic cards run on pci 2.0 with no performance loss. But when i checked the backward connection pins of pci 2.0 bus, but they are different from pci 3.0. So how shall i connect my monitor to 3.0 pci as the connection pins are different. Please help me out.

you can easily put an PCI Express x16 3.0 card in 2.0 slot as it has backwards compatibility,sure there will be a performance loss but you can use it. It is like using a usb 3.0 device in 2.0 there is a performance loss but works.

What motherboard are you using? Is it possible you are confusing a Conventional PCI slot with a PCI Express slot? PCI Express is backwards compatible from 3.0 all the way back to 1.0, but is not compatible with Conventional PCI.

I rockie. I am currently using nvidia geforce 610 gt 2gb. And it does fits on motherboard but how is it possible to connect a monitor to the card? So is there any extension required to connect a monitor to graphic card ( i am asking regarding the outer connection of monitor to graphic card)
