Hi,

I am making my gaming pc and i was just wondering if i could use my Pci Express 2.0 Motherboard (Asus M5A97 LE R2.0 Motherboard) with my Pci Express 3.0 GPU (Asus HD 7870 AMD Radeon DirectCU II Graphics Card)

Any replies would be great.

Thanks!
 
Solution
the graphics card will work fine. all gen3 pci express cards are backwards compatible with the 2.1,2.0, and 1.1. the card will work fine.
i have a xps 420 with a 660 ti 3GB card, works like a charm.
