will this bottleneck on a pci express 2.0 motherboard?

nowhere even near.mine run at full tilt on a pci express 3.0 board that scales back to 2.0 @ x8 speed on a crossfire setup

I have a PCI 2.0 board and have seen zero issues. I have owned it for about 6 months, and I can play Metro: Last Light on maxed settings (PhysX off) and I get 55-60fps at full 1080p. Enjoy it, it's a great card.

Maybe slightly... but would still get decent enough performance if your looking for an upgrade.

I have not had any bottlenecking which is one of the main reasons I bought this card. I have a AM3+ board with pci express 2 because AMD has not really released any good express 3.0 boards, I heard in some reviews that there was no bottlenecking and they were right.

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.

So far there is no performance lost with using it in a PCI 2.0. If you maybe spent $300 or so on a new motherboard with all the new stuff then there might be a performance lost mainly because of the possibility of boosted speed in the PCI 3.0. So to sum it up. You should be fine

You shouldn't have to upgrade your motherboard as long as you have one PCI-E (PCI express) slot available.this is a pretty big card so I also recommend checking to make sure it will fit in your case but that has nothing to do with the question,just another precaution.

I don't know, I guess so, but slower. My motherboard has PCIe 3.0, so I had no problem with that.

Yes. The bandwidth in your 2.0 x16 slot will be comparable to PCIe 3.0 x8, which is more than enough headroom. It's a great card, go for it!

No. You'll need to add to the pci express slot. Still a great motherboard. Ive nerve had such a great experience with a motherboard til now. Im going to be using Gigabyte more often now.

Yes, this is what I have. ( EVGA 680i FTW)You will just lose some performance from the motherboard, like a bottleneck, but it is still betterfrom what you have now anyway. Hope this help.

I wont be. I have an asus p7p55 ws supercomputer and it runs perfectly fine. It does not support pcie 3.0 so i can tell you that it will not be a problem

I took a quick look at your motherboard and as long as you have a PCI Express slot available you should be good. According to a couple of sites and the picture I saw you have 2 pci slots on this board. so, vacant slot and you should be good.

Yes sure. You just have to check your motherboard has a PCI-Express interface.

Depends on what your processor, bottleneck is sometime an issue,, power supply is ok,

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

Do you have a pci express x16 2.0, 2.1, or 3.0 and a powersuply of more then 400w with either a 6 pin connector or 2 molex connectors? If so, then yes. ------------------ Under further reaserch of the bored you(hopfully) don't yet have I have to say is EXTREAM OVER KILL. that board runs 200 ish here on amazon and you only need all the stuff it has if your trying to run a server while edditing videos/ rendering them. this is a mid-range card an the motherboard you speak of is the low of the high. sooo you would be better of with the gigabyte 270x or up or a duel set up with this card. If you don't know about what I speak (since you don't appear to know much about compatibility ) I would suggest a cheaper first rig, and also something newer. getting a good bored is important but aim for a newer one. reaserch research a d research. and more research. YouTube helps a lot. I hope this impute was helpful, good luck with the build!

This card should not create a bottleneck on that mono but you should know that this card will need an aftermarket cooler.

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.

Yes it will work. A few things to note though:That motherboard has only one PCI-e 2.0 x16 slot. Make sure you aren't using it for anything else first.Second, the card was designed for PCI-e 3.0. It will work with your 2.0, but you might not get full performance. Though I have heard people say that there isn't much of a difference since video cards aren't powerful enough yet that they truly need 3.0.Finally, don't forget to disable the on-board graphics on your motherboard after installing this one. I believe this is mentioned in the installation guide as well. Yes it will work. A few things to note though:That motherboard has only one PCI-e 2.0 x16 slot.
