Can any one make sense of why the pci-e in Gpu-z shows running V1.1 when the mobo and gpu's are capable of running 2.0?
Am I misreading something? :wtf:

You are running 2.0, must be a bug with the new tooltip feature. I'll move this thread to the GPU-Z section for ya. ;)

Cool :toast:
I think your right on the bug E!
I just went back to Gpu-z and sence I'm running X-fire I selected the X-fire tab to select the 2nd gpu and for about 3sec it showed running V2.0 but than displayed V1.1?

the tooltip reflects correctly that your system is currently only in 1.x and reports support for 2.x

could it be that power management switches you to 1.x when the system is idle as the tooltip says?

again "PCI-E x16 2.0 @ x16" means 2.0 supported running in 1.x

he could try disabling link state power management in the windows power options, see if that alters how it reads.

I ran Furmark in window mode and let it run.. Gpu-z than shows running v2.0
Is there mabey a bios setting that is making it run v1.1 at idle?

it's not a bios setting for sure, it might be a setting in windows, or the ati drivers force it on you to save power

Thanks Wizzard :respect:
It shouldn't cause any performance issues set like that should it?

I have the exact same problem as the Fullinfusion. Card reads as running at 1.1 mode, and jumps to 2.0 mode when under load. All the tips offered so far in this thread haven't worked at keeping it at 2.0. There were even some tips on other forums about new reg keys added to the 9.10 Catalyst drivers (EnableULPS, EnableASPML01) that handle power management, but all are set to 0 in the registry so that aren't putting the card in a low power state.

It's either another unknown reg setting, or something new within the Catalyst driver itself.

Well in windows 7 the pci-e ran @ 2.0 all the time and was using the 9.10ccc drivers.
Windows 7 is now gone and trusty (matured Vista ;) ) is back on... I installed the 9.11 beta but it seems to be worse for switching between 1.1 to 2.0 :wtf:
Could it *walks on thin ice by saying this ;)* mabeeeeeee... a gpu-z bug :eek:?
