I'm a bit pissed as to why there is no PCI-E 3.0 certified drivers with my system... When is this going to be fixed?

My system:

I realize this is Nvidia's fault, but they are blaming the x79 chipset . So what is the real truth here?

the first 300.xx drivers had pci3.0 support, so its a nV thing, and not X79

Intel Core i7 3960X 4.4Ghz @ 1.28v

AFAIK: the RIVE is support for PCI-E 3.0. but the processor is NOT.
so, let's hope intel release a new processor with PCI-E 3.0 Support, 3990X may be? we'll see.

X79 does support 3.0, release drivers supported 3.0, certified driver does not. There is a registry hack that will make it operate at 3.0, I have verified this

RIVE + GTX 680 = When is the PCI-E 3.0 FIX?
