    At least for another 2 graphic card generations yeah. PCI-e 3.0 doesn't make a difference for graphic cards with the exclusion of multiple card setups. We've have yet to fully saturate the x16 PCI-e 2 bandwidth. Only Sandy Bridge extended, Ivy Bridge, and Haswell type chips have PCI-e 3.

    Cool, this is the card my son currently has: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814130768

    I have one PCI Express x16 card slot on my mobo. I have no idea what the PCI 3.0 means vs. 2.0, or that I could use a card labeled 3.0. My current card (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814130660)


    It's good to know I could make use of my son's 680, and get him a 780 (his PC is a beast - he plays many games, I just play this one), and we'd both get a nice upgrade ^^
