sampion002PCIe 3.0 cards are backwards compatible with previous pcie standards, the main difference between 2.0 and 3.0 is their bandwidth. Since the 260x isn't a very powerful card, it doesn't need a huge amount of bandwidth, in short the card will work with your motherboard so you don't need a new mobo.

Hello,

 

I have an GA-P55-US3L and I would like to buy an R7 260x. Does my MOBO support that GPU ? Or should I get some other one ? 

 

Because my MOBO suport for PCI x16 2.0 standard and in spec of GPU it sad that it is 3.0, so now, I don't know anymore.

 

Please help me.
