I have an Intel P5Q Motherboard (I know it's old) , which has a pci express x16 2.0 slot, i was planning on buying an MSI GTX1050 2GB OC, which has a pci express x16 3.0 slot.
Now that's my problem, will the card support the motherboard, is it backwards compatible, and if yes, what's the loss of performance?

Thank you.
 
Solution
Yes, its backwards compatible. The performance will be almost identical as a pci 3.0 slot since its not a high end card so don't even worry about it.
