maybe check asus forums?

im really not sure exactly the percentage on the loss 16x vs 8x for a gtx 460, but for a 480...look here :

now if you shell that much on the parts, you expect full blown whatever it was promised to do.

When you switch to the lower or middle slot is the linkwidth set to x16 x1 as show in the SS or auto?

Damn IDK have you tried the Grey slot? Yes I know it says x8 max but it also says pci-e 2.0 x16.

After that I am out of ideas other than working your way from the top slot down, set auto first then x16 x1 then x8 x8. If it is still at x8 then drop to the next slot and repeat.

hmm, wish I could, but i unfortunately only have 1 video card at the moment :S was using a laptop for the last couple years so I didnt bother getting any parts. Finally have the budget and use for a good system, but only 1 card at the moment, eventually will upgrade to another card, but I just put this build together so kind of limited on extra parts right now :S

Tried all the configurations possible, top slot, middle slot, even threw it in the grey slot. changing the PCI settings from Auto. x16x1, x8x8.

No luck, Should I talk to someone at ASUS or EVGA?

It sounds to me that the chip responsible for PCI-E is having some issues. Could you potentially show us a screen shot of GPUZ with your card in it. I would recommend dealing with the motherboard manufacturer first as i suspect its that over the graphics card being defective.

Yup, attached the screenshot.

I would guess it to be the mobo, just not sure what else I can try without contacting ASUS.

What does CPU-Z say? I'd trust that more than GPU-Z

Here is CPU-Z and HWinfo

Is there a reason why CPUZ doesn't show the bus interface?
