I've read a few posts about it being 1.1 at idle but 1.2 under load. Try running a benchmark/playing a game and keep an eye on a monitoring program to see if that changes. Another thing you can check is going into your BIOS to see if maybe it is set to gen 1 speeds. I'm not too familiar with the features of Setup 1.x so can't really say if you'd need it.

As for Optimus, see http://forum.techinferno.com/diy-e-gpu-projects/2109-diy-egpu-experiences-%5Bversion-2-0%5D-44.html#post34147

Another method is to run 3dmark6 on your internal display and getting a score of 10k+

Yep sweet. You are right it his 1.2 once it is under load.

My results:

Firestrike: 3700

Cloud Gate: 8600

3d Mark 06: 15800

I take it that is ok right?

So I have confirmed that it is indeed running at 2.5 Gb/s in HWINFO.

Do I need setup 1.3 or is there a quicker/less complex option for me to get it running at full speed?

Thanks

Good day all!

I am writing to request a little guidance as I don't seem to be able to find a clear answer from reading this massive thread.

I currently have the following:

PE4C 2.1

750 TI

Dell Powersupply

Into:

X220 i5, 4gb Ram, HD3000

Via:

PCMCIA

Now the issue I am facing is that GPU-Z is only reporting a 1.1x link. I have the latest Nvidia drivers but is Optimus working and how do I check?

Do I need to install/hack to get Optimus working and opt 1.2 or have I lucked out?

additionally Firestrike says my PC does not meet the requirements to run? Is this due to my processor?

Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated!!!
