I have a question: is it normal to the motherboard or video card to switch between PCIE 1.1 and 2.0 constantly (but it remains in x16) as I am seeing in GPUZ?



Thanks

ur board should actally figure that out on it's when it's not idling, but u can try go to "Power Options" in Windows 7/8 and set "PCI Express Link State Power Management" to Off see if that will help u.

There isn't a problem. Run 3dmark 11 and post results if it is significantly lower then look for a solution if not leave it alone. Software isn't always bug proof

Thanks, indeed it switches to PCIe 1.1 when I am not browsing but Chrome seems to use GPU acceleration even disabled and makes the card switch fast between 1.1 and 2. While gaming it is at 2.0 constantly.
