GPU-z says one slot is 2.0 and other isnt

FR@NK · Jul 16, 2008

I'm using ATI HD4870 on a P5E WS Pro board that uses the x38 chipset. GPU-Z shows "PCI-E x16 @ x16" when installed in the top slot nearest the CPU. When in the bottom slot it says "PCI-E 2.0 x16 @ x16 2.0". CCC and everest says its running at x16 2.0 in either slot. Is this an error in GPU-Z? or could one slot be limited to 1.1 and the other 2.0?

It must be an error,if you KNOW the specs of the board to be true,then the software is misreporting.

Yea I know but this board has a PCI-X slot on it and im wondering if its tied into the PCI-E lanes and not compatible with PCI-E 2.0 and forcing 1.1 mode. Its just weird that one slot shows 1.1 and the other 2.0 in GPU-Z.

ask asus support its either a design limitation or some bios link negotiation issue

try update bios , if you update bios of the x38 maybe you have a x48 mobo , bios of x38 do too much things am sure

I got a beta bios from asus support which fixed the issue. If anyone needs this bios pm me.
