Hello,
My setup is listed below. I know it's capable of running 2 cards at x16, but GPU-z is telling me that i'm running my primary at x16 and my linked card at x8. All other info is identical between the two cards. I've tried fiddling w/ chipset settings in the BIOS, however there's only one setting to change and it doesn't seem to do much that I can tell (something about virtualization, Intel VT-d or something like that). I know neither of my graphics cards would really benefit from the extra 8 lanes, so I'd be happy if i could just get them both running at x8, if that's all i can do. Even if it doesn't matter that they run differently, I'd still like to match them (symmetry issues...). Any help from the crowd is greatly appreciated.
Build (everything is stock clocked)
Motherboard: ASUS Rampage III Formula (Intel X58 chipset)
CPU: Core i7 920 @ 2.67GHz
RAM: 6GB (3x 2GB) Corsair something...
GPU: 2x ATi Radeon HD 5830 (Crossfired)
PSU: Coolmax 1000W (can't remember exact model)
Storage: Intel 80GB SSD (OS and apps), WD 1TB HDD (Media)
Thanks again!
