does this board have a PCI-e 3.0 slot so that it will not bottleneck my sapphire radeon r9 270 gpu?

This board does not have a PCIE 3.0 slot but an r9 270 will still work with no performance loss over a 3.0 slot.

Yes the board will work in a PCIe 2.0 slot. PCIe 3.0 is backwards compatible to the 2.0 specification.

I believe so. I have it in a Dell 760 Mini Tower now. I had one PCIE slot as well. To make sure I would contact EVGA support.

I believe so... The card doesn't need it's own power supply, so you should be good. It does require the pci-e slot on your board.

No. Go to amazon site copy link and past to your browser. Scoll to bottom of page read the tech stuff discriptions. THis card requires a PCIe 2.0 abd a16 lane graphic slot on the mobo. PCI is not 16 lane. Note the "Express" in the nomenclature. my question to you is did you not read the specs or did not understand. Suggest you do more research on line on the difference between varions type of mobo slots and what they do or what they accommodate in a way of cards.

A Gigabyte MA770 comes with one PCI-E x16 2.0 slot, four PCI-E x1 slots, and two PCI slots. The Anker 3.0 card should be able to use one of the PCI-E x1 slots. Don't see how the presence of a graphics card in the 2.0 slot would affect the performance of a card in one of the x1 slots. How does your motherboard's hatred of the Anker card express itself?

Yes. Even though this card is PCI-e 3.0 and the motherboard has PCI-e 2.0 slots, PCI-e 3.0 is backwards compatible with PCI-e 2.0. Just be sure to put the card in one of the two x16 slots, not one of the x4 slots. The manual should show which slots are which.

No, you MUST use a pci-e slot. I'm not a gamer so I cannot respond as to whether this is adequate for gaming scenarios.

Yes, you shouldn't have any issues. the card uses pci-e 2.0 or pci-e 3.0 your board is on the higher end so it should work perfectly with no issues.

I am using a P7P55D-E PRO motherboard which I believe is only PCI 2 and it works like a champ. I play BF4 at 1080p on Ultra with no issues.

Honestly, I don't know. I had problems fitting the graphics card in the first PCI-E 16x slot due to the RAM modules. Look at this video, it might help with your question: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zXbgyGLgAqk

Yes. You have one PCI Express slot, according to the specifications for your computer I found online.

Yes, it is compatible. Your motherboard supports PCI-E 3.0 and it is backward compatible with 2.0.

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.

Short answer: No. Long answer: As far as I am aware, there are no AMD socket motherboards (ASUS or otherwise) that support PCIe v3.0 without emulation. If that is a requirement for your build, you'll have to go Intel. Secondly, there are more updated revisions of this motherboard and I would go with those instead if the 990FX chipset is what you want.

If the motherboard in the model you have is this: Motherboard Specifications, A8M2N-LA (NodusM3)then yes. That MoBo has both PCI and PCIe slots. The GeForce 8400 is PCIe/16. You can also get PCI versions of the GeForce board in case you cannot locate this specific model (GeForce 8400).

Yes. The most important thing is the proper number of PCI-E connectors. I believe that the R9 290 requires 2 8 pin Or 1 6 pin and an 8 pin. Frankly you can possibly get away with a smaller PS provided all the power requirements for all the components are met
