My main board is a MSI GD-80 z77a, and is fairly new, but it doesn't fit in my PC.

It says it's a PCI express 2.0's. but my board doesn't have that version of PCI express.

Does it not fit in a 3.0 slot?

The Asus DG is a legacy PCI sound card.

Unfortunately it will not fit in a PCI-Express slot and the MSI GD80 Z77a board doesn't have a legacy PCI slot.

Sorry.
