GPU-Z Bus Interface

[.Griff.]

I've had my GTX480 for a couple of weeks and all seemed well until 10 minutes ago.

I just jumped into Bad Company 2 for a game and noticed that my FPS wasn't what it should be and as I hadn't restarted the PC for about a week (I leave it on 24/7) I decided to restart the PC.

I then opened GPU-Z to make sure the clock speeds were what they should be and it's then I noticed something.

The "Bus Interface" seems to be changing on it's own.

Compared to -

Is it a glitch with GPU-Z or something more serious?!?

Worth checking that the card is seated properly in the connector.

My 480's also do the same in GPU-Z (x58 based board), nothing to worry about IMO.

Cheers for the replies. It's a power saving feature according to Techpowerup.

Did your FPS come back to what you were expecting?

The FPS is lower than I remember it being but it's probably me being fussy/paranoid as it plays smoothly enough.
