So here is a quick question,
I'm trying to find what version of PCI-Express slot I have for my mother board (I got to tell you I think it 2.0) but I'm not sure.
Maybe you guys can take a look at these specs and see an answer where I can't:

This spec image has a bit more detail but I'm not sure I'm looking in the right place:

Here is a link to the motherboard page maybe some one can find the answer there:
https://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/M5A78LMUSB3/specif...
But this card I'm thinking about buying is a clearly a PCI Express 3.0 x16
http://prntscr.com/daj4ad
So with all that being said what kind of performance hit am I going to experience if I install a PICe- 3 card into a PICe -2 Slot?
I keep seeing posts like this on the net that make me think I'll be just fine:

But still I wanted to get a bit of feedback from the TH community before I move forward.
