Graphics Card (980) Running in PCIe 2.0?

[danielb]

Hi,

I was running GPUz when I noticed my bus is running at 2.0. I thought It was meant to run at PCIe 3.0?

I found a site linked below, tried that option, sadly made no difference.

Not too sure what is going on really 😞

Ok, Ignore me 🙂

The "NB PCI-E Configurations" had all reverted back to AUTO and I didn't notice, moved them back to GEN3 for all slot's and everything is good.

Sorry, I posted in here too quickly.

I think that patch is for Sandy bridge-E boards. Have you checked in the BIOS under System Agent Configuration?

EDIT: oh, good to hear that.

I was just about to make a thread for this exact same issue, my 2x970s were running at 2.0 and I couldn't select anything else but Auto, Gen1, Gen2 in PCH PCIE menu in the BIOS. Went to the NB settings and put in the Gen3 in the slots where I have my GPUs and now it works and shows up correctly in GPU-Z. Thanks! 😄
