Solution Gam3r01 Nov 5, 2013 3, you need a PCI-e, any version 1 2 or 3, at at least x8 mode. You want x16, so you are good for 3.

Gam3r01 Titan Jan 12, 2013 25,414 974 115,440 Nov 5, 2013 #4 Just transfer rate. X16 is the amount of bandwidth so below x8, there isnt enough. You still want to visually check to make sure the cards will fit. Upvote 0 Downvote

You still want to visually check to make sure the cards will fit. I saw on Linus tech tips that most video cards don't benefit from 3.0 yet. Is that true? Upvote 0 Downvote
