    Hey guy i need some help here

    after using my GX640 for a while

    by running GPU-Z it show that this machine support PCIe 1.1

    so it come to me that didn't GX640 support PCIe 2.0?

    i thought intel 5series chipset all supported those function.

    plz correct me if i'm wrong

    or there is some way to set it in BIOS or something?

    I checked mine and my 5850 is @ x16 2.0. The only time I seen it lower was when I was using the stock driver that msi's provided. If you do change the driver to the newest one, make sure to update the vbios unless its already the newest one.

    Also remove the old driver before installing the new one of course.
