PCI Express question

[elpisco514]

Hello, I want to upgrade my graphic card but I can't figure out what pci-e I have (2.0 or 3.0).
I checked my motherboard specs and I'm still confused, here's what it says :

Motherboard graphics

GPU Interface : PCIe v2.x

GPU Onboard : ----------

SLI : 1 Nvidia GPU

Crossfire : 1 AMD/ATI GPU

Expansion slots : 1 x PCIe 2.0 x1
1 x PCIe 3.0 x16

Do I have PCIe 2.0 or 3.0? Thanks in advance!

Put it in a new folder & extract the zip file there.

Hope this helps.

@David get use to this from now on and learn how it works:

Elpisco you have pci express 3.0 x16, if you can see the pci express x16 slot this is where the gpu goes.

Modems, sound cards, network cards and what not go into the smaller pci express slot which is x1.

Any video card for 2.0 or 3.0 will do on your mobo, make sure you have enough wattage as it recommends on the specs tab.
