First of all: Sorry my bad english!

Recently I updated my bios to 2907 (from 2202) and the 3rd gen option is not visible anymore in the PCIe config. So, now i have 3 options: Auto, 1st. gen and 2nd gen. Before the update i have 4 options: Auto, 1 gen, 2nd gen, 3rd gen, so i have always selected 3rd gen option because in i select the "auto" option GPUZ show PCIe 2.0.

Any advice? did i have to downgrade the bios to the original bios build?
 


It probably just auto detects if it's PCI-E 2.0/3.0 card. Regardless of the revision it won't change the performance. Download GPU-Z and it will show what the card is running at. Put it in auto.

Thanks... It's in auto... GPUZ Shows: "Bus interface: PCIe x16 2.0 @ x16 1.1"
