It's been a while since I had an issue that I cannot for the life of me figure out on my own PC. I have an Asus M51AC (H87M-PRO motherboard) with a i7 4770. I finally, got around to setting it up with a Quadro K5000. Everything is up and running in Windows 7 x64 SP1. However, this is where the trouble starts. The motherboard is supposed to be able to run up to PCI-e 3.0, let alone 2.0 x16. When I run GPU-Z, it at first, reports the K5000 running @ 2.0, but moments later the number changes to @ 1.1! Also, when I run HWiNFO64 it reads the slot as again, x16 2.0 running at x16, and it shows:
Video Bus: PCIe v2.0 x16 (5.0 GT/s) @ x16 (2.5 GT/s)
Do I have an unusual combination of hardware/OS/drivers? H87 drivers seem to be obscure, and outdated. I had to visit MSI's website to find much newer H87 drivers than those on Asus' website. Intel themselves have spotty drivers for the H87 unless, you're using Windows 8 or higher.
Any insight is appreciated!
p.s. It's still running BIOS version 1002
