Hi
It seems that the pci-express slots 1 and 4 will only run at x4 speed. I have a single AMD 7870 which i have tried in both slots 1 and 4. PCI speed test reports x4 speed. I am using an OCZ Revo 3 x2 as my bootable drive which runs at x4 speed in either slot 1 or 4 (depending where the video card is) and a revo (original drive) in slot 5. I have tried removing the original Revo drive without any change. Would this cause the slowdown for the videocard?. Benchmark scores in Futuremark seem to be normal. I have tried the video card in slot 2 and then the PCI speed test does report x16 but the other pci express slots are then unavailable. Am i losing performance on my 7870 because of the x4 speed?
Many thanks
