Nvidia PCI-E 3.0 patch for X79 boards? Does RIVE need it?

I keep hearing on other forums that this patch is needed if you want to enable PCI-E 3.0 support on SB-E/X79 motherboards for Nvidia 600 series cards. I have a GTX690 and GPU-Z already reports that both cores are running at PCI-E 3.0, so does this mean the Nvidia patch is not needed? BTW, my RIVE is on BIOS 2105.

If you are already patch it, you can remove it by running the executable with "-revert" command-line argument. Hope ot help.
Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or present are certain to miss the future.

690 have different architecture than 680's. 690's will never need the patch.
