    Hello guys, to summarize my problem. I recently upgraded my clevo p170sm from a gtx 780m to a gtx 1060. I noticed that the card runs on bus interface PCI-E x1 even on load although this machine supports PCI-E x16. I read that is possible to change this in bios, but in my bios I can only pick gen1, gen2, gen3. The x amount is stuck in x1.

    I do use premamod v2, and after upgrading to gtx 1060, bios does not recognize my card anymore, it just says unknown. Card works fine when in use though with modded inf file install. Just that the bus interface seems to be stuck at x1. Any help are highly appreciated!
