Here is the story:

I have an old system from 2010, i5 2500k, DDR3 RAMs, P8Z68 mobo and 6870 video card. It's having difficulties playing my favorite battlefield 1, So I kinda want to upgrade it a bit.

but instead of spending hundreds of dollars on upgrading the entire system, I am more leaning towards upgrading only video card. but my choices are limited since my mobo can only do PCIe 2.0...

any advice ?

Thanks !

Good info here , you can run a 3.0 in a 2.0 slot with virtually no loss in performance.
