Um, what do you mean by mode, the question doesnt really make sense

 

[Regalk]

Probably means 1X or 16X - try cpu-z and check the mainboard tab

Mode? You mean 2d mode or 3d mode? Look at the clocks using rivatuner, if theyre lower than stock its in 2d mode. It might actually say "2d mode", dont know as i use atitool to check mine.

Dont know of any other "modes" you could be referring to...

And welcome to the forum, kapdori.

 

[kapdori]

thanks. Thats what I mean. x1 or x16, in cpuz, it shows x1 not x16. so what am I doing wrong?

Do you have it in the blue PCI-E slot? That's all I know to tell you, because I don't have that board.

 

[kapdori]

yes I do have in blue slot.

On my Asus P5B dlx I had to change the PCI-E bus in bios to 110 and now 112 to get the 16X mode - must be power or higher FSBs thats causing this.
