Ya I wish I knew it like I did the past motherboards with PCI-E. But anyway the PC runs games amazingly, it sucks in cool air and spits out hot air and I'm happy for that.

Sorry guys, I just don't know about this pci-e 3.0 stuff. This is my 1st X79 build and I just want it to run like it should but things just don't go the way you want em too.

So what your saying is, now call me stupid, lol, a 690 will run at full 32GB bandwidth but a lower end card will run at 8GB/s tops? What about on full load in games and GPU stress tests?

But that is just wrong though, X79 boards where built to handle PCI-E 3.0 architecture to run at x16 (32GB/s) for at least the first 2 slots. I guess I'm lost here.

Ok so first, the HWiNFO 64 is reading my system the right way? Next, in my bios I have the PCI-e set to GEN3, so what your saying EuroFight, my 660ti's won't make my PCI-e lanes run at full speed? What about when I'm playing graphically intense game like Crysis 3 or Battlefield 3? Thinks kyfire for the form for my cards.

Thanks guys for the replies, but I already have GPU-Z and I don't think it says anything about the Gb/s interface. I mean all it says in GPU-Z is (for the bus interface) PCI-E 3.0 x16 @ x16 3.0. For the Bandwidth to my video cards, it reads 144.2Gb/s, but this isn't what I'am after. I'm after the PCI-E 3.0 socket itself. I want to make sure its reading at 32GB/s like PCI-E 3.0 should.

Hey all I have a quick question for you all and to anyone who knows I hope a get a answer. I recently downloaded the latest version of HWiNFO 64 and I ran it and noticed (if its true) my graphics bandwidth is only at 8gb/s it should be at 32GB/s, because it is PCI-E 3.0. So im just woundering is this normal or should I do something. Heres a Sccreen capture:

Do you guys think its may driver? I'm running the 310.90.

Thanks guys for the feedback, but I ain't going to overclock it hardcore, like I wanted. Instead I'm going to get another just like it and SLI them. Maybe in the future I'll consider taking them back for a other brand name ones.

Ya I hope not WarWeeny, if so then I'll be the first.

Hello all, this card is driving me @#$%ing nuts won't hold its overclock. The game I'm playing either freezes or blinks a couple of times then goes to the desktop with a error saying its not responding. I have to use the MSI afterburner because its a MSI Graphics card, i have it clocked right now at 50 Core, 265 Mem and 75 Fan speed. The voltage is: 37 Core, 40 Mem and 20 Aux. If I go any higher then these clock speeds the system is unstable. Please help or if you need more info, just ask.

You got a pretty good system there. I wouldn't even touch an overclock option.

So the 1100T is faster in most applications. But how in the hell can that be?? 6 cores vs. 8 cores. I've been researching it myself and the 8150 scores about 10% better in some apps. Its not a BIG deal but the next problem is my memory, AMD motherboards these days require you to get a AM3+ processor in order to have the memory at its advertised speed. My memory is supposed to be 1600 but it's registering at 1333 because of the 1100T. I tried overclocking it to 1600Mhz (its intended speed) but system was unstable. Again, its not a big deal but I paid for 1600Mhz DDR3 memory...Any ideas?

Ya Muchoman1, it is a good review but I just gotta try it. I know, I know, I'm probably going to waste my money. Its just one of those things I must do.

Ya well I just going to have to get it and try it out for myself. lol I'm getting confused here. People say on here that that the bulldozer is not better then the Phenom X6. But on other websites (I researched it on) says its better then the i7.
