What I found with my Asus Crosshair 3 motherboard and the GTX480 I'm using, that when I run GPUz it will show PCI-E 2.0 x16 @ x16 2.0 but only for like 30 seconds and then it will change to PCI-E x16 @ x16.

Brillian plan death. I just don't think it will work on my motherboard....... or will it?

EDIT.... OOPS I just saw that my board is on the list of those the pacth were tested on. GREAT. Thanks, I will try it out.
