Amd motherboard, Pcie 3.0

[jkiamsh]

Is there any Amd motherboard that has a pcie 3.0 slot. If there isnt why are there no pcie 3.0 slot on amd motherboards?

i am not sure, but is a pcie 3.0 slot needed for todays games that we play or are going to be released? is there any performance drop if we use a new generation gpu in a pcie 3.0 and in pcie 2.0 to see any difference?

Asus recently announced the Sabertooth 990FX/Gen3 R2.0. It has PCIe 3.0 support.

AMD cpu's don't have a pcie gen 3 controller, so there haven't been many boards with the slots.

There isn't really much performance difference in games if you use PCIe 2.0 so it will be fine.

I have a Asus M5A99FX Pro R2.0 i am pretty sure its 3.0, but i don't have my manual on me i will have to check the online manual.

I know the Sabertooth R2.0 does.

and possibly the new ROG boards, not sure about other manufactures. you would have to check the specs.

There are currently no AMD motherboards that support PCIe gen3, however Asus has announced a new Sabertooth motherboard that will have 3 PCIe gen3 slots two 16x and one 8x .

This board should come late this month or in early April.

thank you I will keep a look out for the sabertooth motherboard from asus. I'm predicting the cost will be high, won't it?

Probably around $200-220. PCIe 3.0 doesn't really do anything at this point though.

[asusfan]

yep the new Gen 3 Sabertooth does..

my M5A99FX pro R2.0 has everything except the 3.0 PCi-e so yeah wait for the new Sabertooth

The in-game performance between pcie 2.0 and 3.0 is about nothing... it depends on your graphic card actually, if you use pcie 3.0 card, it is faster in trnsferring the data... that is just the difference...
