Normal. It will ramp up as soon as load is put on it.

You never said you were running render test in your post.
It's in the title, thanks for the help though... /s

Which screenshot is which? Do you mean to say it shows as 3.0 at NO load, then goes to the other when loaded?
Seems to be part of the text is missing. Maybe a bug in GPU-Z?
EDIT: What is your motherboard brand and model?
What exact brand and model of video card?

These are two pictures of what is going on during the test. It switches from 3.0 and PCI-Express, while doing the test.

I think you're describing a non-issue.
Real question: Is everything working okay? That will answer your own question I think.

I am not quite sure - but a question to W1zzard, is GPU-Z maybe supposed to say PCI Express 1.0 or 2.0?
Just saying PCI Express seems like a bug to me, or at least something that can be improved for clarity.

Cards today lower their bus speed for power savings. When running the render test they increase. Atleast mine did.

Are you running multiple instances of GPU-z to get this result?

I looked at the code, and it is possible that the speed is not displayed, when it can not detect the interface speed, which should never happen as far as I know.
Are you running CrossFire with ULPS ? or another adapter as primary output ?
