[JoshuaMitchell]

Uhm i've got a question,
on the website of http://www.sapphiretech.com/ it saids this card support Shader Model 5.0
I checked the application TechPowerUp GPU-Z and it saids Shader N/A.
How can i fix this?

My card specs can be founded @ this link,

I think he's referring to shader clocks.

No i think they got confused with the shader part that is used to show the nvidia shader clock speed.

I've got one more question,

My motherboard support PC-I E 16x
My Videocard Support 2.0
In TechPowerUp GPU-Z i see PC-I E 1.1 how can i update in into 2.0?

I mean 2.0 is faster than 1.1 right?

My Motherboard spec
http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/G31M-S/

The TechPowerUp GPU-Z was posted before and the Specs of my Video Card.
I hope you can help me.

Friendly Kinds.

your motherboard is only PCI-E 1.1 so your gpu will always run at PCI-E 1.1 16x

So there is no solution to update it into 2.0? I installed all the lastest drivers of my motherboard + chipset etc.

EDIT:
I found some benchmark @ some website and the diffrence of 1.1 and 2.0 isn't so great:

Only way you can change it is to buy a new motherboard that is PCI-E 2.0 / 3.0 its a hardware thing so updating bios or drivers will have no impact at all

No. I've looked up the motherboard and see no reference to PCI-E 2.0. It sounds like it only supports 1.1 to me.

You'd have to have a fast card indeed if a higher PCIe version would make a difference.
