[f4ll3n fl4m3z]

Hello PG,
I am planning to buy a Graphics Card which is GTX 760 but the problem is that i am having a old Mobo that's Intel DH55TC with Core i7 860 CPU it has PCIe 2.0 Slot and the card i am planning to buy has PCIe 3.0 Support will it run on PCIe 2.0 or i have to upgrade?

All graphic cards are backward compatible. that is they can run on any backward PCIe slot.

So it mean if i buy a graphic card that is compatible of PCIe 3.0 will also run on PCIe 2.0.

Yup, the difference is very little between 2.0 and 3.0 and it's all backward compatible.

Do make sure you have the right PSU requirement, though.
