They have driver problems with these cards, but when they fix it you'll get much more performance out of it.

the hd 7970 works with the asus sabertooth motherboard right?

[club3dtv]

@snobelboff We do not see why it should not. It should run without issues.

PCI-E 3.0 is backward compatible with existing PCIe implementation, so yes, works on a 2.1.
