Is this card 2.0 of 3.0?

The card is a PCI-e 3.0, but like all PCIe 3.0 GPUs, it is compatible with a 2.0 slot on a motherboard. You just don't get the advantage of the faster speeds offered by 3.0

I believe I can only answer one question here. All PCI-E editions are backwards compatible with their previous version. 3.0 &gt; 2.0 &gt; 1.0. I don't know the other answer though, sorry.

Yes it is. I've used it with both 2.0 and 3.0 ports. 3.0 is definitely faster though.

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.

Yeah I'm using it in a 2.0 slot right now. Works best in 3.0, but it's backwards compatible.

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

Sorry but no the rx-a3020 doesn't have 2.0, you have to get the new rx-a3040 to get that feature.

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

Sorry, I really don't know. It's a good mid-level card and ive been happy with it.

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

Yes, this card will work fine in a PCI-E 2.0/2.1 Slot. I've used many PCIE 3.0 Cards in PCIE 2.0/2.1 slots with no problems.

PCI-E 3.0 is backwards compatible with past PCI incarnations. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PCI_Express#PCI_Express_3.x

Yes, that's what I installed it on. There is almost no reduction in performance between 2.0 and 3.0. Apparently no video card currently out can actually outperform 2.0 at this time. Well, I haven't confirmed that with the newly released GTX 700 models.

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.

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.

the box that I received said version 3.0, but I don´t have an idea how to check it is true.

Vardan, It supports the PCI express but will run at 2.0 not 3.0 like the card is designed for. Another key note is that even though it comes with a two (molex) cable to 6pin cable to support power you need to make sure you have over 600W of power to support if you are running additional drives and fans.
