Searching for PCI-Express 2.0 compatible AMD graphics cards (with CrossFireX)

1

1

I still have an Asus AMD motherboard (Socket AM3+) that has PCI-Express 2.0/2.0x16 slots. It appears that all the HD Radeon series 6000-7000 cards are PCI 3.0.

  1. Are there any HD Radeon cards starting at the Radeon 6000-7000 series, that are compatible with these PCI-Express slots?
  2. Do any of these cards support CrossfireX for up to 4 cards?

Primary use is gaming, remote desktop (RDP/RDS), and Hyper-V server.

Thanks

XFX Radeon HD 6450 2GB DDR3 PCI-E 2.1 Video Card is about $60 USD, so it might fit your budget to buy 4. BTW, PCIe 2.1 and PCIe 3.0 looks backwards compatible with PCIe 2.0, says wikipedia.

PCI-E 3.0 cards are backwards compatible with PCI-E 2.0 slots. Any card that supports Crossfire should support 4 way Crossfire. – Cfinley – 2014-07-16T13:19:37.713
