Need help!

Hello,
I ordered a video card (Radeon HD 6970) which has a 2.1 x 16 PCI-E connector but my motherboard only accepts video cards with 2.0 x 16 PCI-E. Will I still be able to get the maximum performance out of my video card?
Thanks.

Your motherboard does not only accept 2.0 cards. All PCI-e slots are backwards compatible. You won't get the max performance, but it'll be pretty good.
