Just in case anyone else runs into this... As a temporary work-around, I decided to switch my video card to the x4 slot (x16 physical, x4 electrical) to see what performance I get with 3Dmark06. x1 = 5754 x4 = 10228 x16 = 13451 (When I was lucky enough to get it to run in the x16...

Uugh - some of my posts have been moderated and have not shown up yet although I don't know why. Here's an attempt at an abbreviated one: RATS - The x1 PCI-E problem is BACK! For the ONE time I got x16, I ran 3Dmark06 and got 13451 then I rebooted and when I re-ran it, I got 5754? What...

(There is a missing reply before this one...) My reply was moderated? The message flashed up too fast for me to read it... Edit: Seems like my replies got deleted -or- the moderators are busy. (Or maybe they have a life and aren't stuck in the forum during the weekend! :) ) Anyway I was...

I've been running BOINC (WCG since 2007 & Rosetta since 2005; almost 3M points) in all my CPUs at home, my office and my wife's office. My best GPUs have been running F@H (team TPU! - currently 6th on team) and I was getting 5K to 6K PPD for this GPU. But I decided to temporarily take this GPU...

I don't play games very often - this is a (mostly) dedicated Folding@Home & BOINC crunching machine. So I couldn't easily tell if it was x1 or not.

Yes - GPU-Z is a great tool! When inserting the card for the last time, I pressed it a little extra and got a little "click" I didn't hear before. Maybe that was the locking pin that holds down the end of the connector nearest the front? I am usually good about that sort of thing but...

Re-seat = GOOD!!! Thanks guys! :respect: Another re-seat now shows x16! :D Now I should be able to crunch 16x more work units every day! (Just kidding. I know this will make only a relatively small difference. Something like 1% to 50%, not 1600%.) Now this makes me wonder how long...

Re-seat = no good. Thanks guys but re-seating the card made no difference. I will try it a few more times to be sure. I was wondering, when GPU-Z computes the Pixel Fillrate (10.8 GPixels/s) and Texture Fillrate (43.2 GTexels/s) does it compute this for theoretical rates based on GPU type and...

Card in x16 slot Thank you both for the help. :toast: I realize nobody here knows me yet but I'm not really than much of a noob. :D My video card is plugged into the x16 slot (the top one closest to the CPU). I don't think it is possible to have the x16 slot running in x1 mode but I am no...

Acrtually, what I would like to know is if it is even possible that my card is running in x1 mode instead of x16 mode. Or perhaps GPU-Z has truncated the "@ x16" to "@ x1" when displaying it? Is there a performance test I could run to verify how many PCI lanes are being used? - Dan

I have a 8800 GTS 512 (G92) running in a Gigabyte P35-DQ6 and GPU-Z says it's running in x1 mode in an x16 slot. Can someone please tell me how to correct this? Newest drivers (190.38) - Dan
