Does installing a PCIE 2.0 card in tandem with a PCIE 3.0 card cause the PCIE 3.

[Deleted member 739008]

Hello,

I would like to know the behaviour of adding a PCIe 2.0 card to my current setup. Is this a bad idea or what?

Motherboard: Asus rampage iv extreme
CPU: Intel 3930k
VIdeo: 3x7970s PCIe 3.0 graphics cards installed in pcie 3.0 slots

I am adding a Sound card to the 4th PCIe 3.0 slot but the sound card is only PCIe 2.0 compliant.

Will this cause any issues or performance concerns?

pcie 3.0 is backwards compatible. nothing bad will happen
