MSI Z68A-GD80 (G3) is backwards compatible with all the devices with PCI Express 2.0 or older devices already available on the market and enhances their performance considerably. For example, PCI Express 2.0 SSD devices on MSI Z68-GD80 (G3) mainboards perform 14% faster than on competitors mainboards.

Interesting statement, but realistically only RAID-based SSD's on PCIe could possibly exploit the bandwidth presently. Are we still not limited on GPU levels unless in a Tri/Quad GPU setup? I remember someone a while ago showing that 8x and 16x SLI/Xfire was almost a wash performance wise so I suspect the same would be true going from 16x gen 2 to 16x gen 3
