PCIE 2.0 RECOGNISING AS 1.1??

[gamergeneral99]

Hello, I am using an asus M4N68T M LE V2 motherboard and HIS HD 5670 ddr3.The graphics card is recognized as 1.1?! I googled everywhere but couldn't find my board's pci version. I think during the first boot and installation of drivers it is 2.0 and afterwards i did some overclocking. Is this because of the overclock?? Please help me.

It doesn't really matter does it? Your HD 5670 isn't saturating even PCIe 1.1 bandwidth.

^ This.

It does not matter at all. PCI-E 1 has the same bandwidth as PCI-E 2 x8 and that can run much higher end cards than yours with no performance hit.

So I can upgrade to hd 6850 without performance loss?

You have a PCI-E 2.0 board anyway so yes you can run a 6850 just fine as long as your power supply is up to it. The 5670 is version 1.1 not the motherboard.
