No need to, it has been proven all the bandwidth is not yet used for pci 2.0 yet.

Probably will take 2 refresh cycles of GPUs for this to happen.



So dumb question then but running a 3.0 pci card like my 7950 on a pci 2.0 Mobo won't give it performance issues or anything?

Hell no.

The bandwidth isn't there yet. Believe to utilize a 3.0 PCIe the cards have to be 512-bit.

That is 2 refresh cycles away.


ETA:
Let me edit to say, maybe 1 more cycle as people believe nVidia's 7 series will be 512bit for the 770 and 780 GTXs.
