    Graphics card question

    What's the difference between PCI Express 2.1 x16 and a PCI Express 2.0 x16 or are they the same thing?

    From a gaming standpoint, yes. You will not see any performance gain or loss whatsoever either way.

    Ahh ok, cool. Follow up question, Will a PCI Express 2.1 x16 fit into a mobo that holds PCI Express 2.0 x16, like Asus Formula IV?
