Hello everyone. I have a question about what is better pci e 2.0 or 3.0 for my own gaming setup. I have 2 msi gtx 570 twin frozr iii's. I am looking for a new mobo to give them a little air flow. One board I looked at has pci e 2.0 and other 3.0. I was wondering if I went with 2.0 would my sli be hindered at all? What should I do?
 


Okay, the board I was looking at was the asus maximus iv extreme. I found some brand new oem models for quite cheap. It has four pci e 2.0s, I was thinking to run from slots 1 and 3. It says single @x16, dual @x8, triple @x8, 16, 16. So everything looks alright?
 
Cool, thanks all of you for the help. I am happy there are sites out there like Tom's Hardware, they really help when it comes to problems like these. As always, I can't thank you all enough.
