As title, rebuilt my pc, took mainboard out etc, its NF4 Expert, try and put in my GTX again (which has been running fine no problems) in the top PCI-E slot and it says carnt init gfx card,(beeps) put it in the bottom 1 it works fine :confused:

why is this ?? Help, will the bottom slot run 16x ?
 
In the mobo bios is there an option to enable second pci-e slot? if so, then that option might have enabled and so needs to be disabled to allow operation of the top slot only and enable full x16 useage as well. Not sure about this but its worth a look I reckon. :)
 
yeah the only options are 16-1-1-2 or 8-na-2-8, it was on the correct setting, no go :( tried with 3 graphics cards and no luck, 2nd one down works fine

im ok running a gtx at 8x pci-e arnt i ? the drop in performance wont be huge will it ?

Why are the 3DMark06 scores so insanely low on there benchmarks, even at 16X its getting less than half the point it should get.

Take it you didnt look at the test setup page?

3D Mark06 Version: 1.1
Video Mode: 1600x1200
Anti Aliasing: 4x
Anisotropic Filter: 8x
