I am looking for a video card to buy. My mobo is PCIE 2.0. Will a PCI-E 3.0 16x card work, or should I find something else? Is there a way to search by interface in the products page? Thx.

    PCI-E 2.0 versus 3.0 compatibility is not a problem. 2.0 has less bandwidth and might not achieve full performance in some applications, but otherwise it should work fine. More importantly, is your motherboard BIOS UEFI compatible? These EUFI BIOS compatible video cards may not work in a non-EUFI compatible system.

    What's EUFI? You mean UEFI?

    My mobo is MSI H81M-E33, BIOS is E7817IMS v 6.6. The boot mode select is Legacy+UEFI. I run Win7 64 bit. Does this mean it is UEFI compatible and would run the series 10 video cards? Thanks!

    You see that I spelled it both ways above, just for good measure.
