Hey guys i was browsing the gigabyte website when i saw this


so does that mean that my motherboard just supports PCI-e 3.0 or can it actually take full advantage as motherboard built with 3.0 support?

thank you =]

There seems to be a biut of an argument going on at the moment between MSI and Gigabyte regarding this exact question.  Personally I feel that Gigabyte boards just support cards that support PCIE3.0 but not actually use it. In other words you can fit a PCIE3.0 card into a Gigabyte motherboard and it will work fine but not at PCIE3.0 standards.

I am sure somebody will jump on  me if I am wrong!
