*Updated with the latest things I have checked/tried
According to GPU-Z my GTX 680 is running at PCI-E 3.0 4x on my new Z77 mobo. According to nVidia's sytem information it is running at PCI-E 3.0 16x. Who am I to believe? Is it a bug with GPU-Z, is nVidia's system information wrong, and am I having a problem?
I have made sure to load the card when checking the speed with GPU-Z.
I have disabled Windows PCI Express Link State Power Management in the power management console.
I have re-seated the card, and made sure everything was properly cleaned.
The card is in the correct 16x pin-out slot. Which is the one closest to the proc socket.
I have tried to manually set the speed in the BIOS, but it only gives me 2 options, AUTO and GEN1. Which I would assume GEN1 is PCI-E 1.1.
Here are my machine specs
Intel Core I5 3570K @ 4.6GHz
ASRock Z77 Extreme6
Samsung DDR3 1600 (30nm) 4GB X 4 @ 2000 9-10-10-28 1.5v
EVGA GTX 680 2GB - 304.48 Drivers
