Your board will support the card fine and not be limited at pcie 2 x8. I would say that card would be fine all the way down to pcie 2 x8 which is equivalent to pcie 3 x4, pcie 2 x16 would be preferable for the current highest end single cards 7900's and 680 and I am not even sure if the upcomming dual gpu solutions from amd and nvidia will even need more than pcie 2 x16's maximum and warrant the need for pcie 3.
These are also just limitations at the end of the day you could put any card into a pcie connector wired at 1x and it would work, just nowhere near its potential.
