GTX 680 PCIe 3.0 & Rampage Mobo

[Arne_Saknussemm]

How many of you with Rampage 4 Extremes have had no problems running your GTX 680 at PCIe 3.0 via the "hack"

Negative experience is often up on the forum but not so much when something works so I thought it would make an interesting stat. Plus I´ve just ordered a DCII top and wondered what the chances were....:)


EDIT:

Manual hack: http://www.evga.com/forums/tm.aspx?&m=1607292&mpage=1

Nvidia force enable: http://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/3135/session/L3RpbWUvMTM0MDIyMzU2OC9zaWQvaDEzbE45...

EDIT 2: One person has found that running two cards initially broke 3.0 but changing the order of the cards in the Motherboard slots got it back up and running. Suspicion is that some GPU chips may better handle the extra load that the first card has to bear in the relationship with the CPU.....

I do and run it flawlessly without any problems at all.

No problems here either, manually applying the hack or with the auto hack. on numerous brand cards

Not true for me. I use a Creative X-FI pcie card in the slot above my second GPU and the hack works the same.

Sorry about the double post, it's early in the morning,waking up to go to work
