I have the 2GB nVidia GeForce GTX660 card, installed in the top, PCI-E 3.0, slot on my ASUS P8Z77-V LK motherboard.
My CPU is the Intel i7 3770, with Ivy Bridge.
However, with the Unigine Valley Benchmark program, I only average about 30FPS, and I think it's because I'm getting bottlenecked. GPU-Z readout says that my Bus Interface is x16 @x8 3.0 (while the render test is running. While it's not running, it says the same thing, only 1.1 instead of 3.0).
I've changed the BIOS setting for this card to Gen 3 from Auto. All my drivers are up-to-date. I do have an addition 2GB onboard video memory.
What am I doing wrong? I don't understand why the card isn't running at x16.
