Hi, I am looking at a mobo for extreme gaming and multi tasking, and video rendering. I am pretty much set on the Maximus IV, but the one factor keeping me considering the Deluxe is PCIe x16 3.0. it has two 3.0 slots and one 2.0 slot.

i plan to potentially go tri-sli eventually, and the Maximus has generally better stats.

with 2.0 cards, will there be in improved preformance in any way shape or form?

does it matter that two cards would b on 3.0 and the other on 2.0?
