At
Intel, the specifications for this CPU under Expansion are:
PCI Express Revision : 2.0
But at
AMD and
ASUS , the specifications of the card are PCI Express 3.0.
The motherboard I have chosen,
Gigabyte's GA-H61M-DS2 rev 3.0 is PCI Express 3.0 ready.
Now my question is will I be able to run at PCI Express 3.0 speed with that CPU? Motherboard Slots are PCI-E 3.0, Card is PCI-E 3.0, but if CPU is PCI-E 2.0, will I be able to run the card at the speed of PCI-E 3.0? PCI-E 3.0 is double the bandwidth of PCI-E 2.0. And even if I run at PCI-E 2.0, will I notice any difference? Suppose, while playing
GTA-IV on medium-high settings at
1600 x 900. Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks in Advance.
