So I have this setup:
Operating System: Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit (6.1, Build 7600)
System Manufacturer: XFX79U
System Model: XFX nForce 790i Ultra 3-Way SLI
BIOS: Phoenix - AwardBIOS v6.00PG
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40GHz (4 CPUs), ~3.0GHz
Memory: 4096MB RAM
Available OS Memory: 4094MB RAM
DirectX Version: DirectX 11
Card name: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 480
Manufacturer: NVIDIA
Chip type: GeForce GTX 480
DAC type: Integrated RAMDAC
Display Memory: 3294 MB
Dedicated Memory: 1503 MB
Shared Memory: 1791 MB
Current Mode: 1920 x 1080 (32 bit) (60Hz)
Crucial SSD Model: M4-CT128 M4SSD2 SCSI Disk Device
I recently bought the cruical M4 to use for loading these huge BF3 maps... it does great hooked up to the mobo which is sata 2 (3gbs) -- the 790i missed the new stuff.
So I tested this with "dskspeed" and got a max read of 245 megabytes a second...
I thought- perhaps i could get one of these PCIe sata 3 adapters and get something closer to 450- maybe more... considering its going to max the PCI-e connection
I bought this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16816115072
Just tested this again with dsk speed and now my read speed is 205 megabytes a second- what gives?
EDIT - stupid just thought to check, is the PCIe 1x slots on the 790i ultra "2.0" or is that just the one x16 slot...
Can anyone confirm this?
