Will a PCIe x8 3.0 card work in my PCIe x16 2.0 slot?

[Deleted member 1940107]

I've been looking for graphics cards lately and i found this one (http://www.superbiiz.com/detail.php?name=XFX-R724G4&c=CJ). Only problem is, is that it says it's a PCIe x8, where my motherboard has a PCIe x16 slot. Would it fit just fine and work fine? Or would I have to find a new card? Thanks!

Yes it will work in that slot, just bear in mind your card won't be running as fast it would be if it were in a PCIe 3.0 slot

Just like syked3 said above.
