wassup ppl.....

so i have a asus p67 board, and a i5 2500k. . . . .with a evga gtx 460..., i was wondering if i cud place a new gen card on that board in place of the gtx 460.

basically, will a gtx 6xx or amd HD 7xxx work on my mobo with pci 2.0 even tho the cards are pci 3.0? they backwards compatible?

thnx
