I've searched and haven't came with any results, so I may be searching wrong key words. I have the GA-Z77X-UD3H motherboard, and I have my EVGA GTX-680-FTW 4GB video card hooked into the 3.0 slot, but yet it won't run at 3.0. It's running at 2.0. Now while I know that I'll only notice like a 1fps difference between the 2.0 & 3.0, I'm still clueless as to why it's not running at what it should be? Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

Depends on the CPU too.

Core i7 2700k, which is the sandy bridge.

You have to have Sandy Bridge E or Ivy Bridge to take advantage of PCIe 3.0

Well that just sucks, I didn't know that. Thanks.
