Aaahhh.. indeed, but the GPUZ stress test that I was running was unable to move the card out of the 1.1, so i ran a game and then it finally moved to 2.0 Maybe this was also the reason why I was initially confused... i need to check thanks a lot for the support

Thie BIOS only allows an automatic setting, so i tried with Setup 1.30, but maybe I miss something. since gpuz still shows @x1 1.1 When I boot into Setup 1.30, in the status i see [email protected] 10de:[email protected] (Nvidia) Then i select PCIe ports > Gen 2 port -> p4... Then i select either with link retraining or w/o (i did not understand what is the difference) Execution of the command returs - "Successfully set port4 to Gen2 speed." Save Port -> p4 ... Then F3, Then either Chainloader -> Test Run Or I reboot, and then from the DIY eGPU Setup 1.30, i select automated startup my startup bat contains call iport gen2 4 notrain call iport bus call chainload bootmgr

Hi, I have problems to enable PCI Express 2.0 link, My setup is Lenovo T520, 6GB ram, only iGPU, Windows 7 64bit egpu: PE4C-EC3C V1.2 Gigabyte Geforce GTX 470, latest nvidia drivers Everything installs correctly, and an 1.1 link is established. 3dMark06 gives me 17k, i i suppose it is OK (i have underclocked the card a bit, since my PSU is 350w, and i had some BSODs). The problem i have is that I wanted to play "Dreamfall: Chapters". What happens is that on some places in the game i get <4FPS. As comparison - using the iGPU - Intel HD3000, with the same settings the game achieves 8-10FPS on the same place On other locations it is much better with the external card. This is why I assume that the bandwidth is not enough. I set PhysX to CPU, and use an external lcd. The T520 BIOS is the latest version, and the Express Card Speed is set to automatic. I tried the 60cm and 30 cm cables. Both result in 1.1 link in GpuZ From other posts in the forum i learned that the people were successful in establishing 2.0 link, but with other eGPU Is there something i have missed ? Thanks, Vladimir
