This technology is also forward compatible which is why I love it so much. If you have a PCI Express 2 card it will work in a PCI Express 3 slot. I can't wait to see what kinda boast this will give the new graphics cards of the time. Likely DirectX 11.x or something will be supported by then. |

It will be interesting to see Graphic wise, if this will give it a boost or not, although I find it great that PCI Express 2 will fit into a PC1 Express 3 slot, that is kinda handy. But do you reckon it will live up to our expectations, or do you see it crumbling down? |

I believe it will live up to expectations and perform greatly. Unless AGP or some other port comes into play, but I don't see that happening anytime soon. |
