does this motherboard have 3.0 16x pci express ?

It has 16X, however, there is no board atm that is 3.0. They made a Gen 3 board for a while, and you might find an obscure one that didn't sell, or on ebay (maybe, if you can trust them). However, they do not make the Gen 3 board any more. You won't find a 3.0 board made by anyone currently, but maybe in the future. It's not that big of a deal though, because your gpu's won't even come close to needing that much bandwidth. They barely touch the 16X 2.0 (32).

The only board 990FX board that I've seen that actually have support was the Gen3. There are some non FX AMD boards that support 3.0 and a decent number of Intel 1155/1150 cards but like a previous answer said unless you're doing something like Tripple Graphics Cards, you probably don't need the bandwidth right now. Who knows what the future may hold, however.

Yes it has a PCI express slot. Even the DT version (slimmer desktop case) has the slot but would need the low profile bracket.

Yes. This board supports pcx express 3 and this card does as well. They would work together.

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.

Dirk, when I purchased the board last year I may not have acknowledged its PCIe 3.0 expansion slots; but according to ASUS, all 6 slots are PCIe 3.0. Sorry if I provided misinformation, hope it didn't hinder or delay your build.

If you want PCI Express 3.0, then shop for the Sabertooth 990FX/Gen3 R2.0: "3X PCIe 3.0/2.0 x 16 (dual x16 or x16/x8/x8)" listed in ASUS's Specifications under expansion slots

All AMD HD7XXX, R9, R7 Video cards are PCI-Express X16 3.0 and have backwards compatibility with all other PCI-Express X16 Slots. So are the Nvidia GTX 6XX/7XX. You should know that only Intel Core i5/i7 from 3rd and 4th Gen. are PCIE 3.0. I don't see any gain from 2.0 to 3.0 BTW.

Not as far as I know. can use Pcie 1, 2 or 3. Might see performance issues if only 1.0

No. Regular PCI or PCI-X(mainly server mainboards have this) only. PCI-X and PCI Express are different. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/PCI-X

Yes. That board reportedly has two PCIe 2.0 slots. This card will work on PCIe 2 or 3.

Not really, unless your motherboard explicitly states it is an "AM3/AM3+" one.

Yes, it has one PCI x16 slot. You will need full size bracket with your Video card (not low profile).

THE MOTHERBOARD HAS 2 PCI Express x1 slots which supports x1 network cards, SCSI and other cards that comply with PCI express specs & 2 PCI Express 2.0 x16 slots that supports PCI Express x16 2.0 graphic cards that also comply with PCI Express specifications.

This motherboard is PCIe 3.0 x16 running at x16. The r9 270x video card is also featured with PCIe 3.0 x16. Conclusion: So therefore, YES is the answer. And YES it will run at top speeds of 3.0 Performance; and not 2.0 down-graded performance -due to neither are 2.0, both are 3.0 related. So K. Tanaka is wrong about this. *Furthermore, I bought this board due to it having PCIe 3.0, so I could pair it with my video card(MSI R7770 GHz Edition)that is 3.0 capable, with this PCIe 3.0 featured motherboard. In order to get: Top 3.0 Performance Speeds. http://us.msi.com/product/mb/B85M-P33.html (Reference Link for below PCIe feature. Plus the total in-depth Product Features). World's 1st PCI Express Gen 3 motherboard brand With ultra-high 32GB/s transfer bandwidth, PCI Express Gen 3 provides a 2X faster transfer rate than the previous generation, this delivers amazing capabilities for true next generation extreme gaming. Benefits: - 2X bandwidth - Increased efficiency and compatibility - Extreme performance for current and next gen PCI Express cards

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.

Yes, it is I am currently using this GPU on that motherboard. ASUS is working on the next generation of that mobo that will have PCIE 3.0. Haven

Yes. Here is a link showing it as well found through the r9 270x website. http://www.pc-specs.com/mobo/GigaByte/Gigabyte_GA-78LMT-USB3/1540
