Graphics Card question

[creayt]

I suppose it could be that I'm doing all 3 over independent display port jacks and not using the HDMI or DVI, so if there's just one internal Display Port controller that all 3 jacks share, maybe it's hitting that bandwidth limit.

That maybe. And would be out of the scope to which I have experience with.

Does anyone know of an easy way to tell from within Windows whether your card is running in a PCIe 2 or 3 slot and to verify it's at full 3 speed?

@creayt IIRC even the 980TI won't max a PCIe 2.0 x16 slot.

I run my gtx970 in a PCIe2.0 x16 and it's fine.

To answer your actual question though, no clue haha

[MattSpeller]

oh I lied, I might know a way... I think there's something like CPU-Z for your graphics card... one sec

yup if anything will tell you, this will

Ok scratch my theory. I hooked up an identical 4th 2560x1440 27" Dell monitor and it ran flawlessly w/ all 4, but all 4, even the HDMI one, were 59 Hz. What a weird thing.

Hooray. PCI-E 3.0

Tried to upload a .jpg 3 times. Keep getting parse errors on Mango if that's a concern.

What is the error that you are seeing?

[scottalanmiller]

Nevemind, I recreated it.

Tested and the error is happening in Chrome for me but not for Firefox. Are you on Chrome?

Yes I am. I have Firebug installed for development which renders the browser unusable for anything other than development. So it's 100% Chrome for browsing.

Seems to work if it's the only thing in the post.

[scottalanmiller]

Oh that is interesting, I wonder if that is the same for me...

Nope, this still worked on FF.

Probably my most frivolous purchase in years.

Backplate for the GTX. Seems to add a certain je ne sais quoi.
