Hey guys,

I am getting a new mother bored and graphics card soon and I need some help,
Here is the new graphics card I am getting http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/200894757747?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2648

And this is the mother bored http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/350654671681?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2648

The graphics card need a PCI Express 3.0 x16 port but the mother bored has 2 x PCI Express 2.0 x16 slots will the graphics card still work to full performance if it is installed into this port 2.0 insted of 3.0?

Any help would be great thanks :)

Pcie is backwards compatible, so the card will work with the motherboard. You won't be able to tell the difference in performance between pcie 2.0 and 3.0.

ps the link for the mobo is for a vintage canvas camera backpack.
