Paying for Help with Motherboard issue ATI CARD PROBLEM

[Sicksicksix]

Im having a real big problem with My motherboard and ati cards.

 

First thing i would like to say is if you help me solve the problem that i am having a will give you 1 copy for dirt 3 that i recieved when buying a 6970, if multiple people help, i will give out multiple copys, I have 4x extra i do not need. If you like fg better i can buy some.

 

NOTE: This is for a gaming computer, not bitocoin mining, or any other shenanigans.

 

 

Motherboard: I have a p7p55d-e ASUS mother board. Here is the link to the EXACT one I have:

ASUSTeK Computer Inc. - Motherboards- ASUS P7P55D-E

 

Problem:

As you can see the motherboard has 2x 16x PCIe slots, One blue, One dark grey.

ANY ATI card that I put into these slots runs at 4x speed. (seen VIA GPU z latest version)

ANY NVIDIA card i put into these slots runs at 16x speed.

 

Needed Solution:

I need to get ONE ATI card to run at 16x Bus interface.

 

ATI cards I have:

3x 5770's (xfx)

1x 6970 (currently being RMA's (replaced) by Newegg) (xfx)

 

Nvidia cards I have:

1x 460 (evga)

1x 465 (evga)

 

 

What I have done:

Latest Bios has been installed (Battery taken out full reset has happened)

Cleaned Both pcie slots and pins on both ATI cards

 

Other information:

I have a i7 860 (no overclock since bios update)

8gb of DDR3 ram (checked for errors no problems with any sticks)

850w Power supply (new)

 

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thank you for your time,

 

Pete

As stated in the specifications on the asus website that is what the motherboard supports so your pretty much limited.

 

Expansion Slots 1 x PCIe 2.0 x16 (single at x16)

1 x PCI Express 2.0 x16 slots (@x4 mode, 2.5GT/s, black slot)

3 x PCI Express 2.0 x1 (2.5GT/s, gray slots)

Their website states that "* The ATI® CrossFireX™ Technology requires the second PCIe x16 slot (black) to run at x4 mode."

 

So your only option is to plug in the Top dark blue slot for a single GPU....

 

So if you want to Crossfire one card will run at 4x mode...

 

It's on the mobo's website under the ATI symbol...that fucking sucks it's like they put a disclaimer on their box...
