They are all backward compatible so you can run a 2.0 or 3.0 you just wont get the full effect out of them. But they will run.    The only thing you have to worry about is that newer cards  sometimes need a bios update to make them run.

In that case email gigabyte support and see if they have a bios update for your board for the card you want to run. I would email them before buying the card.
