Is this PCIe 2.0 or 3.0? Does it need to match up with my mother board PCI version? Or can 2.0 run 3.0 just fine?sorry I'm new to this.

its pci 3.0 but runs in 2.0 as well, the difference is you lose a 10% on bandwith speed but it will work fine...
365752
Yes it will work just fine. I'm using this on a really old motherboard that uses 2.0

PCI-E 2.0 and PCI-E 3.0 are backwards compatible. So yes it will work on your motherboard.

Very likely, yes. It is PCIe 2.1, but PCIe is backwards compatible with 1.1 and 1.0 slots. This is a fairly low-power card as well. I've actually cut half the pins off and plugged it into an X8 slot and it still works perfectly for my needs. This card also comes with a low-profile bracket if you need that.

it depends on it pci expess 2.0... it has to the do with the right voltage if it is compatible...if its 3.0 it dose not work ...3.0 is another voltage....

It should. I haven't tried this specific card in a PCIe 2.0 motherboard, but the spec for the PCIe interface demand that ALL new stuff be backwards compatible. A new spec 3.0 card in an old system is SUPPOSED to identify itself & it's capability to the motherboard. The only real difference is the speed that the old card can handle. The chips on the motherboard will find out the old cards max speed and will talk to the card at or below that speed. The only way I see that a spec 3.0 card would NOT work is if it was a home-built card with bad driver software.

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.

It will work nicely with that board, it'll be clocked down to 2.0. From what I understand, only intel currently supports 3.0; AMD does not yet have any chipsets that support PCI 3, but you wont notice any difference in performance by using it in the PCI 2 slot. I have an AMD FX-8350 Black Edition Vishera on a system paired with this card and couldn't be happier.

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.)

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.

I don't see any reason why it wouldn't handle PCI 3.0. I run a ATI 7800 series PCI 3.0 on mine.
1247089
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.

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.
96798
Yes, According to the specs I found on your board it has 1 pcie x16 2.0 the card is made fore the pcie x16 3.0 so the card wont be able to transfer data as fast as it is capable of. Also this card does require additional power from a compatable power supply.
919130
Yes. PCI express 2.0 cards have backwards compatibility with 1.0 as far as I know.
391941
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.

You'll need a PCIe (PCI Express) 16x slot. PCIe cards are both backwards and forwards compatible, so if you have a PCIe 1.0a or 1.1, or a 3.x or 4.x slot, you should still be able to insert and use the card. The performance may or may not be the same, as some revisions of PCIe standard affect data rates, but basic functionality should remain intact regardless of the version. Compatibility with other components is not guaranteed, so if you still have reservations, check your motherboard's QVL (qualified vendor list), if available, or ask around to see if your specific combination of hardware has been tested. You shouldn't have any issues, though.

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.
