I recently upgraded to a 470 from GTX 660 and while going through Gpu-z i saw instead of Pcie 3 it was shown as running @ x2 1.1 and in hwinfo Pcie 3 (8GT/s ) @ x2 (5GT/s). This mobo has Pcie 3 advertised but in actuality does it only have 2.0 ? If it is does will it have significant impact on performance as i am aiming for 900p 60 Fps on high settings.

Also i updated mobo bios to latest update of v1107.

Solution
PCIE version depends on cpu used. i3-3210 has PCIE 2.0.
For example - with i5-3570 you'd have PCIE 3.0.

There's minimal performance difference between PCIE 2.0 and 3.0 (on current gpus)
