Only the Intel 2011 sockets at the moment will support PCI-E 3.0: http://www.gigabyte.com/products/list.aspx?s=42&jid=0&p=2&v=28

Hi cchaos thanks for the info is there any rumours of AMD boards doing the PCI-E 3.0. The other question is do you think my processor will cause a bottleneck with the new card if so I don't fancy Bulldozer yet, I was thinking of an AMD Phenom II X6 Six Core 1100T Black Edition 3.30GHz (Socket AM3) would that make a difference.
