My motherboard says pci-e 2 on it, will a pci-e 3 graphics card fit it and just run lower data transfer rates or is the physical connection different? The cards are backward compatible, PCI-e 3.0 is a protocol specification but the physical interconnects are the same. Your GPU will be limited to 2.0 speeds, which AFAIK know the cards haven't maxed out. baldie and Onyx 2 Awards
