Yes, they are compatible. The motherboard has a PCI x16 and the card can use a PCI 3.0 x16... but it's backwards compatible so that should be fine.

is every pci 3.0 card backwards compatible?

*pyrohmstr Nov 5, 2012 Hobbyist Digital Artist

Yes

looks fine. Board to Card compatibility really isn't an issue. I'd be more concerned if the card would fit in your case.

i´m worried about this
Bus Type: PCI Express 3.0 x16

i don´t know if my motherboard supports that

it will run as a 2.0 card and you'll see a slight drop in performance because of that. You should look for a card that operates via. 2.0

False. There'd be no performance loss since you still wont be saturating the bus even with a top end card in a x16 2.0 slot.
Bandwidth only becomes an issue when youre running below x16(x8 on 3.0).

well then google search lied to me.

*Kasuji Nov 5, 2012

how much would the performance drop? in percent? 10-20%?
