3.0 or 2.0 PCIE..? I assume SLI ready...

PCI-E 3.0 16x. Yes, it's SLI ready. More info: http://www.evga.com/Products/Product.aspx?pn=02G-P4-2765-KR

The 760, 770 and 780 are PCIE 3.0, but support PCIE 2.0 as well. As for SLI support, the information should be on the NVidia web site.

Go blindly for 780ti if you have PCIe 3 type motherboard. If you got v2, the 780 still beats the two 560s in regards to resolution and memory bandwidth. However thr 560s would be "faster" if ypu do 3D modeling and stuff. But if you talk gaming wise, go 780ti and later consider upgrading your mobo to PCIe v3.

The card comes with its own DVI to VGA connector if you order this you will be fine :) (I am running 2 SLI)

It will be fine but you can't do SLI for Nvidia if you want to go that route just single card. Great board btw.

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

PCIe 2.0 does not necessarily imply an older CPU. All AMD boards that you'll find on the market are going to have 2.0, even AM3+ gaming-oriented boards. Moreover, you will hardly notice the difference between 2.0 and 3.0. 2.0 x16 is roughly the equivalent of 3.0 x8. As for the GPU, I would highly recommend the 780. EVGA is a stellar company and I've personally had a much better experience with NVIDIA drivers. AMD does have a great program when it comes to free games. That can save you a load of money in and of itself. You might go that route if they offer some of the games you're interested in playing.

No SLi *but* you are free to run as many cards as you have slots. This will give you more real estate. The card has commendable Phys-x abilities, but you could dedicate another card to Phys-x. Mind your addressable memory on 32 bit Systems though.

PCIe 2.0 implies you're still on an older generation of CPU... so I guess the 780 as I think while you might even be bottlenecking that, I'm sure you'd probably be bottlenecking the 7990. If you can reply with more details about your setup (including rez of monitor) and what you want from the card (gaming, design, etc.) that would definitely make it easier to answer though. It's possible the 7990 would be better for your needs, but not knowing what they are makes it tougher to advise.

I'll be frank, there aren't really any single card solutions for 4k Ultra settings gaming yet. However, this will get you closer than any other for the price. Go dual Sli and you can play the most demanding games at nearly 60 fps, or better if you take AA down a notch.

PCIe 3.0 DOES have double the bandwidth of PCIe 2.0, but that doesn't matter, because there isno card yetthat is bottlenecked by sixteen lanes of PCIe 2.0. (i.e. a standard pcie 2.0 slot.)

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

Yeah. I have 2 over these guys in my workstation SLI. For a period of time I had to have one is PCIE 2.0 slot and the other in the 3.0 worked like a charm. I will note though if you want to use this for solid works or auto cad. DO NOT use the newest driver. It will crash everything. Use driver 9.18.13.697 built on 10/2/2012. I love this card, great for professional use case. Don't expect super high fps in games though. This card is strictly for workstation graphics

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!
1042687
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

No, it doesn't support SLI and it was no matter for me since i use ATI Cards and the cross fire is supported.. You may check for the z87-d3h

I use the MSI-B85 Motherboard. I'd recommend this if you don't need SLI or anything too fancy.

They do not run SLI. If you were to buy 2 of these I'd rather spend that money on one GTX 980. The 980 is equal to or greater than, performance wise, than two of these.
