I just got my new 8800GT in and my 8800GTS worked fine in this rig before but now whenever I run 3dmark with this new card, i get very poor performance.

I read around and found that my link width under cpu-z is at 1 when it should be at 16 for my PCIe.

I've tried adjusting PCIe speeds, voltages, etc.

Any have a solution?

So you went to bias and change Pci EXpress frequency to 100 insteads AUTO, you can try 102 or 103, it happened lot when people start overclock their cpu by increase fsb speed. add increase northbridge voltage will help too.
