Title: Change PCIe from gen3 to gen1 Post by: hivemindtoday on January 29, 2018, 12:29:06 AM I have a Gigabyte X299 AORUS Ultra Gaming. the Bios looks very different from what I am used to. Do I have to change this option to improve rig performance or this motherboard will chose it automatically?
Title: Re: Change PCIe from gen3 to gen1 Post by: puwaha on January 29, 2018, 12:33:27 AM If you are running Windows, then putting the PCIe slots on Gen 1 is usually a good idea if you plan on expanding beyond 2-3 GPUs. For Linux, they tend to prefer the "auto" setting on PCIe slots.
These aren't universal truths, as it really depends on the motherboard... but it's a good place to start. Title: Re: Change PCIe from gen3 to gen1 Post by: hivemindtoday on January 29, 2018, 12:36:46 AM Thank you. This is very helpful. Now if I can only find this option in this bios...

I had to poke around a lot to find it on my MSI. One reason I never throw away the MB book. Title: Re: Change PCIe from gen3 to gen1 Post by: gotminer on January 29, 2018, 02:10:13 AM Thank you.
