Default Switching between x16 and 2.0
This is odd. I've just noticed in GPU-Z that my 4890 is occasionally switching to PCI-E x16 2.0. Normally it reports just x16. See screenies attached to see what I mean. Is this a driver or hardware problem? I will check that the card is firmly seated as well.

I think it's an issue with the GPU-Z program, not the drivers. It's supposed to be x16 2.0.

Clarification: It is doing this occasional switching while the program is running. *is puzzled*

Misreading. Don't worry about it.

Both mean the same thing, so it's just a GPU-Z error. Don't worry about it.
