Is this a PCIe 2.0 or 3.0 board - Asus, Tiger Direct, and New Egg list this board as a PCIe 3.0 board and you list it as an old PCIe 2.0 board.

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.

I don't remember listing anything on this board. Its a great board and came out recently. Go to Asus.com to get the info you need.

I didn't list it as a PCIe 2.0 board(?).It is PCIe 3.0 capable/ready. With that in mind, PCIe 3.0 is not officially supported on the X79 CPUs such as the i7-3820, nor the i7-3930K, though it can be enable through a registry edit in Windows, or by downloading and running the PCIe gen. 3 patch from Nvidia, if you have an Nvidia PCIe 3.0 capable graphics card, for example. (This has worked fine for me.) As far as I know, the newer X79 CPUs such as the i7-4820K, and the i7-4930K do officially support PCIe gen. 3.

Asus lists it as PCI 3.0 Ready. http://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/P9X79_WS/

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

No. Z77 boards supports PCIe 3.0 with this card is. You can also put it in older motherboards that only has PCIe 2.0-2.1, it's backward compatible. If you motherboard did get fried, it won't be because of this graphics card or any graphics card on that regard.

Hi,Yes, the card, an 8800GT is a PCI-e type.Thats the long slot in your motherboard these days, designed for these video cards.I have an A8N SLI Deluxe as well, and it runs normally two 8600 GTs.(One 8600 broke after a long time, thankfully not frying out anything but itself so I am waiting on a replacement)SLI mode is envoked when you have 2 Cards in those 2 PCI-e Slots.x8 x16 and that other stuff have to do with running Single or Multiple Cards. With the A8N Deluxe (the newer versions that lack the old fashioned sli switch card), the Asus AI software auto switches between x8 and x16.Don't worry, that card will run :) Hi,Yes, the card, an 8800GT is a PCI-e type.Thats the long slot in your motherboard these days, designed for these video cards.I have an A8N SLI Deluxe as well, and it runs normally two 8600 GTs.(One 8600 broke after a long time, thankfully not frying out anything but itself so I am waiting on a replacement)SLI mode is envoked when you have 2 Cards in those 2 PCI-e Slots.x8 x16 and that other stuff have to do with running Single or Multiple Cards.

Yes it is backwards compatible with PCI express 2.0. I use it with sandy bridge i7 no problem. Card is awesome.

Yes, it is PCIe 3.0 compliant. Of course this is backwards compatible with 2.0, and your system will determine the actual data rate.

When I purchased it, it was a rev 1.0 board but that has been a couple years now. I can't imagine they aren't selling the newest revision.
1478091
Yes this will work in a PCIe 2.0 slot, all 3.0 cards are backwards compatible.

It is a PCIE 2.0 card. This PCIE 2 card will also work in a PCIE 3 bus because PCIE 3 is backward compatible and will accept PCIE 2 cards.

Beware of this motherboard. I have had to return 2 of them to Amazon with various problems which a majority of Asus Tech Support did not know about or didn't care. Originally the board shipped with Bios 0604 and advised to upgrade the Bios to 2012 if you are using the i5 4690K processor. He also indicated the i5 4690K will work properly with bios 1008 but 2012 is the one to use.

Nope. I wouldn't upgrade motherboards just to accommodate the video card. You wouldn't see much in the way of results from the pcie 2.0 to 3.0 upgrade.
480827
Yes. That board reportedly has two PCIe 2.0 slots. This card will work on PCIe 2 or 3.

This is a standard (older) PCI bus card. NOT the PCIe or other more modern interface.

I couldn't say for sure. I think pci-e is backwards and forwards compatible--it just won't be 3.0-fast. I would google for pci-e compatibility between versions. I used an AMD A-series on-chip GPU and it was for someone else.

Toms hardware web site explains the situation here http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-1653731/whats-difference-pcie-x16-pci-express-x16.html#.

Both, pcie 3.0 should be backward compatible with a pcie 2.0 slot, it was on my computer. You can check the Nvidia web site at nvidia.com and it should say pcie 3.0, however on the box it indicates that it is backward compatible with a pcie 2.0 slot.

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.
