PCI-E display 'bug' in Forceware 306.97 ?

Gripen90 · 15 Oct 2012 at 10:20

Hi y'all
I just want to ask if anyone can confirm a supposed bug I'm seeing in the Nvidia Control Panel ? - under System Information its saying my GTX 670 's are running at PCI Express x16 Gen2 :confused:

But in GPU-Z it says they're running at PCI-E x16 3.0 ?

I have the nVidia X79patch installed

Nevermind, I got confirmed it's a general bug now on the evga forum

I don't think they do. Unless is triple 1440p

"They" do. (me)

2 GPU's ain't enough to max out settings in triple screens and achieve playable frame rates.

5760*1080.

How bizarre. Well better get another card then. And psu

And a new CPU/motherboard

.

PSU would be fine for another graphics card if it allowed it.

450W from the wall while gaming with 2 overclocked 680's and an i7 overclocked Ivy.

Hehe. Well at least you can save on the psu

james_2k · 15 Oct 2012 at 16:18

Just looked at the pixel count and I can clearly see why it needs tri sli to max things. Consider my mind changed

Looks like a bug:

I too can confirm the bug on my 2nd PC (B75, GTX660, Core i5 3450)

Click on the question mark and run the test see if it rights itself - GPU-z (and other similiar applications) have a hard time detecting the PCI-e details reliably.

GPUz is reporting correctly mate, its the driver info in NV control panel which isnt
