Default XFX 9800 GTX Help!
Hey guys i have a XFX 9800 GTX Black Edition video card, when i put it into my motherboard (GA-MA78G-DS3HP) and load up GPUz it says that my card is running at PCI-E X8 2.0. Why is that? Should it not be running at x16 since i only have one card??

Maybe there is a setting or something in your BIOS?

EDIT:

PCI Express 2.0 x16 1 x PCI Express x16 slot (Note 4), running at x16 (PCIEX16_1)
1 x PCI Express x16 slot, running at x4 (PCIEX4_1)
PCI Express x1 3
PCI Slots 2
What's that mean?
