Hi,

I have a msi r9 270 gaming graphics card in a pci-e 3.0 x16 slot but according to gpu-z it operates @x16 2.0 when i do the render test.

my motherboard is an AsRock fm2a75m pro4+ and cpu an amd a8-5600k

does anyone know how to get it running at 3.0?

Thanks

We explained that the APU architecture has a lot more inside of it than just the CPU and GPU, there's core logic for the UVD engine but also high-level Northbridge functionality including a PCI-Express 2.0 controller and a dual-channel DDR3 memory controller.
