    Hi,

    I just fixed the problems regarding my performance issues,

    but I realized that the Bus Interface for the two cards are different.

    One is at 2.0, but the other does not say it is 2.0.

    Is this supposed to be correct?

    Or is this something that must be fixed?

    Thank you..

    Neither of mine have the '2.0' in the box there. Do you run that kind of overclock all of the time, or were you benching?

    I run that clock all the time..

    Somehow, however, although GPU-Z shows those clocks,

    Benchmarks are horrible... as if they are running on powerplay clocks.

    Do you mean benchmarks run with lower FPS using that its just low
