7970 and slots

[sesshii]

Hello,
Will the 7970 that uses a PCI-E 3 slot fit into a PCI-E 2 slot? Im currently using the Asus P8Z68-V PRO motherboard.

Yes. It is backwards compatibly. Also it won't be truely a pci-e 3.0 until you get an ivy bridge cpu to support it.

Yes. As long as your PCI-E 2.0 slot is 16x you shouldn't have an issue.
