hey guys. looking at getting a new vid card for my primary pc, not strictly bitcoin mining, mostly gaming and the like.

my question is, i have an asus p755d-e mobo, which only has pci-e 2.0. how would the 7970, which seems to require pci-e 3.0, run on this, if at all? is there another card i should be looking at, or am i looking at a new mobo?
i don't post much, but this space for rent.

it'll work fine. pci-e is forward and backward compatible with all revisions.
