1.	Solve : PCIe 3.0 Mobo and GPU, but 2.0 CPU?
Answer» So I just got a new processor and motherboard (the motherboard was free from a FRIEND), and I've spent all day trying to figure out why my graphics card wasn't being recognized. My friend finally figured out that both my card and the mobo are 3.0, but the processor only supports PCIE 2.0. My question is SIMPLE. Can I make this work? Motherboard: ASUS P8H77-V CPU: Intel Core i5 2500 Quad Core 3.3GHz GPU: Gigabyte NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760I remembered dealing with this with a friends i5. Here is the article that I showed him that I will show you. You will need to use a different (newer) CPU to get 3.0. http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/270852-29-will-2500k On his system though he just needed to install drivers and the video card worked at 2.0 vs 3.0. Did you install the correct video card driver? He later bought a used newer i7 on EBAY to go to 3.0 and get rid of bottleneck.
