Does this card support PCI-Express 3.0 x16?

David, the P8Z77 does support PCI-Express 3.0 x 16 in the first slot (dark blue and closest to cpu socket). The third slot (black) is 2.0 x 16. Go to Asus support and downloads. Go to downloads for board and select "specifications" tab. http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/P8Z77M/#specifications I believe (not positive) for two graphics cards in cross fire you are limited to two lanes running at 2.0 X 8Paul

According to ASUS.COM it does: http://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/P8Z77M/#specificationsI am using it for a HTPC and only needed a video card to give me an input for TV, not utilizing the 3.0 capability myself. Hope this helps.

No, USB to express card adapters only support USB based express cards not pcie based ones

Yes. One of the two PCI-E x16 expansion slots is 3.0. The other PCI-E x16 expansion slot is 2.0 but runs at x4. The PCI-E x16 expansion slot that's closest to the CPU socket is the 3.0.

I believe it should as the card fits into a PCI Express 2.0 x16 slot which your motherboard has, unless of course you have something plugged into that slot already. Your board only has one slot that will fit the card. Also make sure your power supply is rated at least 300 watts. Best of luck.

Yes. Graphics cards are built with backwards compatibility built in, so a PCIe 3.0 X16 card (like this one) will work in a PCIe X16 slot. Check out the system requirements here: http://www.sapphiretech.com/presentation/product/?cid=1&gid;=3&sgid;=1226&pid;=2021&l;id=1#

It's PCI Express 3.0,..says right on the box in fine print. I think most platforms from the last 5 years or so have been 3.0.

No because this motherboard doesn't have a PCI bridge it has 4 PCI express. You have to find one that goes x16 to x1 pci . This one is just the old PCI to x1.

yes. Pci express 2.0 is fine. thats what mine is on. theres not a lot of boards w/ pci 3.0 anyway or they are very expensive. you'll lose nothing on a pci-E 2.0

I'm running a 2.something card so I'm not 100% sure. If it doesn't say so in the specs I'd keep looking for one that specifies 3.0

The board supports PCI Express graphics cards via the PCIE 2.0 x16 slots. So as long as there is ample power, either of those cards will work.

It depends on your motherboard slot. It goes into the 16pci express slot. Open your computer and check what slots you have, and search on Google for "pci 16x slot" image.

This card is backwards compatible with any pci express x16. So yes it should run fine, but make sure your hardware is not gonna limit the full potential of the card.

It should, you won't receive the full benifits of the PCIe 3.0 bus, but that isn't anything major. My motherboard is only PCIe 2.0 and the card works just fine.

The Certified Servers team appreciates your question. This server has PCI Express slots, however, they are x8, not x16. A standard PCI-E video card requires an X16 slot. Modifications are possible, however, it will void our warranty and the video card will run at half the throughput. Additionally, only some PCI-E video cards are meant to work this way. We do not recommend it.

Yes this card is compatible with any pci express slot 1x and above. I have mine plugged into my PCI-express x 16

Only requires PCI-Express 2.0 x1 Slot. But it is compatible with all others. You will NOT see any real speed boost from using a faster slot.
