Hello

Did you check this while the GPU was fully loaded?

And are you seeing this reading from inside the BIOS or using GPU-Z? If you're using GPU-Z, click the ? button to run the render test to load the GPU as Praz has suggested.

hmm ok i checked. BIOS say x1 and if render in GPU-Z it stays @ x1...... could it be that card isnt completely correct in the slot? BIOS version 503.

Loosing the screws didnt work either they wernt that tight either. I think its an production fault somehow. Any more ideas then retuning it?
