The PCI 3.0 is definitely noticeable

We were recently discussing whether there would be a performance difference with PCI 3.0 or not, so it seems that there will be, we will have to see if there is also one in games.

The new graphics that are coming out are all going to be 3.0 or are they going to keep releasing 2.X? I say this because I'm going to buy a new PC with a sandy bridge and I wouldn't like to have to change the micro for an ivy bridge which are the ones that support 3.0 so that the graphics would work... What is not known is if you can put a 3.0 in a 2.X motherboard and it will go at that speed... -
The new models like Ati's 7XXX series and Nvidia's upcoming 6XX will be 3.0, the support for PCIE does not depend on the processor but on the chipset or the motherboard and currently there are 1155 boards that have added support for PCIe 3.0 and all of the LGA2011 have it included in the chipset. The compatibility on PCIE is complete, but obviously for it to work at the speed of 3.0 both the board and the graphics have to support it.

It's that I understood that you had to have one of the ivy bridges that are coming out in addition to the board compatible with 3.0 for it to work. So in the PC that I'm going to build with the sandy and gen 3 pci 3.0 board I won't have problems if in the future I change to a 3.0 graphics card?

As I say, if the board supports 3.0, it supports it… that's it, the processor has nothing to do with it, nor the ram, nor the hard drive... Only if you are going to mount several high-end 3.0 graphics cards in SLI/Crossfire would it be more advisable to have an LGA2011 (allows 2x PCIE 3.0 16x) because the width of the 1155 is more limited (only 2x PCIE 3.0 8x).

I suppose the rumors you've heard about the processor refer to the fact that, supposedly, the Ivy will have even greater performance than the Sandy, more suitable for better use of all the information flow that graphics with PCI 3.0 can process. But that doesn't mean they won't be useful for you, in technology it's always the same, if you wait a little you always have an improvement that's about to come out, but by waiting so long you would never have the PC, so at some point you have to settle on the best option and currently the best is:
Multipurpose range and games at a good price= Sandy+Board with PCI 3.0
Extreme range and gaming with high-end SLI/Cross or future high-end= LGA 2011.Best regards

In reality, the comparisons between LGA2011 vs 1155 in games show no differences, just like with the previous generation.
