I'm looking around for a Graphics card, and I found this one:
It says here the card is for a PCIe x16 2.0.
I went to found the card on NewEgg, and it says the card is PCIe x16 2.1.
My computer's bus is a PCIe x16 2.0, and I wasn't sure if the card would work, do you guys know what kind of bus this card is actually for?
Secondly, I'll explain I'm trying to get three DVI monitors working, and I'm hoping this card will do it -- I take it I'll be able to use the two DVIs and then use an adapter to get one of the HDMI slots working with DVI?
And finally, you don't have any other recommendations for cards that would work better for 3 monitors? I'm looking to stay under the ~$225 area.

All version of PCI-Express are compatible. Compliance with all earlier PCI-Express revisions is a compliance requirement for all currently deployed version of PCI-Express. Every PCI-Express 2.1 device or slot is also a PCI-Express 2.0 device or slot.
