Hi,
I just got a new GPU and it's awesome. However GPU-Z and other apps report that my GPU is in only 8x speed. It's a Radeon HD 6850. This is my first good GPU (all others were PCI or integrated) and not sure what I'm doing wrong.
I know my PCI-e port is 16x, because I have 4 16x ports and one 8x port. It's not in the 8x port, because I can see one port where the pins are physically missing and the GPU isn't in that port.
Would putting it in 16x make any difference, anyway?
Other question: (better than 2 threads I suppose)
I heard about a hack that would let Physx enabled games take advantage of the GPU for processing physics on non NVIDIA cards. I searched google but couldn't really find anything. Mostly just people saying there's a thread around somewhere about this... Well that thread doesn't seem to exist lol. Is it actually possible or not to use an ATI/AMD chip (preferably a Radeon HD 6850) for NVIDIAs physx? ALso would it need to be incrossfire mode?
