Gtx 1060 with pcie 2.0 x16

[Veinama]

Will it work the same as in 3.0 x16?

I saw at forums that there will be1% difference, or none, or even 20%. I really need clear answers asap :/

There will be no performance hit. I moved a 980 Ti from a P67 ( PCI-E 2.0 ) board to Z170X ( PCI-E 3.0 ) and it wasn't noticeable. 980 Ti is roughly equal to a GTX 1070.

As I said there will be no difference. Assuming the rest of your PCI-E 2.0 system is good anyway. I went from a P67/2600K to a Z170X/6700K and saw very little difference in gaming. Just moved the same 980 Ti to the new system. As long as the PCI-E 2.0 system isn't bottlenecked by the CPU you are fine.

Going from a 2600K on P67 to a 6700K on Z170X gave me less than 5 FPS in the games I was playing at the time. The Witcher 3, Fallout 4 and Rise of the Tomb Raider were some of them. 980 Ti and 1440p. There was no bottleneck on PCI-E 2.0.

Heaven benchmark with Gigabyte GTX 1060 6GB with absolutely max setting in FullHD:

27,8 - minimum fps / 137,3 - max fps

Score : 1659
