Perfomance reduction for pcie2.1

[dgbkiller]

i have a pcie2.0 slot looking to but hd 6670 pcie2.1.
what will be the consequences ,will there be any performance decline?
how much will it affect gaming on 1024*768?

I do not think you will have ANY noticeable performance loss.

All but the highest end cards will not loose performance in your situation.

It is kind of like having a mechanical hard drive SATA 6. Even SATA 3gigabits/sec is more then fast enough for a mechanical drive.

There is no speed difference. To quote from the Wiki which is a quote from the spec document.

PCI Express 2.1

PCI Express 2.1 supports a large proportion of the management, support, and troubleshooting systems planned for full implementation in PCI Express 3.0. However, the speed is the same as PCI Express 2.0. Most motherboards sold currently come with PCI Express 2.0 connectors.
