Okay...so me and my friend wanted to know if it's possible to fit a new graphics card for example...the new GTX 700 series or 800 series on a PCIe 2.0 motherboard, i own a Asus Rampage 3 Black Edition, and he has a Gigabyte GA-X58-USB3 motherboard.

hopefully we can without having to upgrade motherboards, thanks in advanced! :D

Yup it will work. PCIE 2.0 works with all these.

PCIE 3.0 will only be good with the upcoming R9 390X

And why would you need PCIe 3.0 for the R9 390X? Do you have more info than others, just curious.

 

I mean a statement like that coming from someone that has only PCIe2.0, does that mean you will upgrade your CPU and mainboard or skip the R9 3xx series?

 

Intel i7 7820X (delidded) @ 4.9GHz - MSI X299 M7 ACK + EKWB Fullcover Block - G.Skill Trident Z 32GB @ 3466MHz - nVidia Titan Xp + EKWB Fullcover Block @ 2.1GHz - Samsung 960Pro 2x - WDD Blue 2TB - Seasonic 750W Platinum - modded Corsair 600C - Hardtubed Custom Watercooling

Sigh the r9 390x has HBM memory and insane amount of memory bandwidth. It needs pcie 3.0 to show its wings. And yes I am either going carrizo or Hashwell.

Do you have a reliable source for this?

PCIE 2.0 is still adequate for graphics cards. You won't have any problem running top end gpu's.

AMD made this official statement just today. It could be likey to see a 28nm refresh card first before we see a highend GPU with HBM.

The rest is just speculation from some benchmark database like SiSoft. I'd like to see the new highend chips rather sooner than later. But I'm afraid we won't until the middle of 2015.

I just hope I'm wrong on this...
