Hello again,

I have this little problem, or how should i call it.

Well the picture says all:




I need to turn PCI-E 1.1 to 2.0. How to do that?

I tried to change power settigns. Nothing.

Can you help me? Thanks! :)

No way to turn it on, you either have it or you don't.

Yup i think hes right...my old p35 mobo only has 1.1 pci-e and i upgraded to a P45 mobo which had pci-e 2.0.....im not sure if it realy makes any difference or if it holds the 4890s performance back with it been only 1.1,But i just upgraded anyway so at least i know its now running at 2.0.

But like Bodaggit23 said,What is your mobo?

What motherboard do you have?

I have Asus M4A77TD Pro motherboard, and it says it does support PCI-E 2.0. See that picture that i uploaded? It says that power saving settings may affect the results displayed?

10 to 15% increase, nothing noticable. Still, PCI-E 2.0 is the fastest PCI-E yet, and is more future proof.

Not even that... mostly 0-5%... damn near always 1-2% at anything 'common' like 1920x1200 or less.
Take a look at the article below. PCI-e 2.0 has double the width of the same size pci1.1 so 8x pcie2.0=pcie 1.1 16x. If you look at the article few if ANY games havea difference between 8x and 16x. And that's with a 5870.
