Title: GPU
Post by: johnmci123 on November 08, 2007, 08:29:56 PM

HI I HAVE JUST BUILT THIS PC AND USED A MOTHERBOARD (ASROCK 775DUAL-VSTA) THAT SUPPORTS QUADCORE, IM USING C2D E6600, ANYWAY I HAVE BEEN HAVING SOME TROUBLE WITH GPU AND NOTICED THAT BOTH CPU-Z AND GPU-Z WERE SHOWING MY GEFORCE WINFAST 7900GS TO BE USING BUS INTERFACE AT 4 X INSTEAD OF 16 TIMES, EVEN THOUGH MOBO ALLOWS FULL PCI EXPRESS @ 16, IS THERE SOME OTHER WAY OF CHECKING THIS OR HAVE I SET IT WRONG IN BIOS BY MISTAKE ETC, HOW CAN THIS BE FIXED,

I SUSPECT THE MOBO TO BE NOT WORKING PROPERLY AS IT WAS BOUGHT " EXDISPLAY" FROM BEBO, ANY HELP WOULD BE MUCH APPRECIATED.
