7870 with my gigabyte motherboard compatibility

Will my 7870 graphics card be compatible with my gigabyte motherboard M6M8MT-S2

Yes, the board should be fine as it has a PCIE 2.0 port.

good to hear logan said it was on pci v3  i was like WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

it is but pci 3 is a new bandwidth standard (pci-e3 x8 = pcie2 x16) no new cards actually use the new bandwidth though.

PCI-E is backwards and Forwards Compatable, so it doesent matter yet, we have awhile to go until even PCI-E 2.0 x16 is even fully saturated by a graphics card.

So no worries then with the 7870 and the M68MT-S2
