Will pascal work with current mobos?

Such as the MSI z97 gaming 5 mobo and such? I might want to upgrade my gpu in a year but I want to keep my cpu and mobo so Im wondering if I need a new mobo.

It should be supported just fine?

As far as we know, yes. Unless they switch to another connector or something, it will be backwards compatible.

It'll work. Pascal will also use PCI-e Gen.3 (At least that would be the most logical thing to do. A new connector wouldn't make sense at all)

But why are you asking? We're not even close to Pascal.

With the premise that we know NOTHING certain about pascal, it would be incredibly stupid of nvidia if it didn't support everything down to pcie 1.0.
