Ever since I got my 8800gt SSC it has been running with a PCI-E bandwith of x1. It's clearly installed into an x16 slot, seeing as it is the only one it would fit in, and when I re-installed my 7900gs the 7900gs ran in x16, but when I put the 8800gt back in, it ran in x1. What is going on here? I've tried reinstalling drivers, using driver sweeper etc...still nothing.
