graphics card doubt

[yashz123]

Dear members ,
i recently bought a MSI fm2 -A85XA-G65 with a A-10 6800k processor Will the motherboard support Sapphire: AMD/ATI HD 7970 DDR5 Vapor-X 6 GB OC Edition 6 GB GDDR5 Graphics Card
Will there be any change in the performance of the graphics card , because i'm using a PCIE 2.0 motherboard and the graphics card supports PCIE 3.0

Yes it will, but why did you buy an apu if you're getting a dedicated gpu?

at first i was using the gpu part of my apu but it was not enough for playing games at max settings

will there be any reduction in performance of the graphics card because i,m using a pcie 2.0 motherboard

No there will not be any performance degradation, not even with pci-e 1.0 so you're good 😉
