MSI R7 260X Memory Clock Speed

[Sparkofd]

Hi, i recently bought the MSI AMD Radeon R7 260X 2GB DDR5 and installed it on an asrock n-68s (pcie 2.0)
The card is supposed to have 6500 MHz effective memory clock speed so it would have 1625 MHz of memory clock speed
But when I launch GPU-Z it only shows 1500, and because of that , bandwidth decreases from 104 GB/s to 96 GB/s
Is the pcie 2.0 the problem? If not, what is it ?
Sry for my english
Thx in advance

nope not the pcie but the card itself. some 260x only runs at 1500mhz, u should have checked the exact model of the 260x if it has 1625mhz on the mem clock - if it is what is says on the website or the product description then u should return it to the retailer.

Yes in the website it says 6500 MHz



I wrote to the retailer and replied that the problem COULD be pci-e 2.0 so im going to write again..
I also have another problem i dont know if i have to post again but anyway..

I have a 19" Benq and a 40" TV Panavox. The first one is VGA so i use a dvi-vga adapter while I connect the TV via HDMI
Problem is..whenever the two screens are connected AT THE SAME TIME, the 19" Benq starts giving me an "no signal detected" error for two seconds, then it's normal for 2 more seconds, then the error again, and that happens about 10 times before turning off without any signal, do i make myself clear? I have to disconnect both HDMI and DVI , and after that connect DVI again in order to solve this. no problems when DVI is connected alone
Any ideas? i've tested different cables, drivers, adapters, with no solution at all..the retailer told me something about adjusting frequencies (MHz) but it didn't work

i'm seeing gtx 970 running at 1700 mhz memory clock on pcie 2.0 and the clocks don't get lowered down.
see if you can overclock your 260x memory clock to 1600 mhz and if your system recognize it then their logic is incorrect.

use gpu z to monitor and msi afterburner to oc the memory clock.

I overclocked it with AMD Overdrive (in amd catalyst)

so it is not the pcie 2.0 but the card itself, because if it was the pcie even if you overclock it, it will still use 1500 mhz tell that to the retailer and get yourself a true 1600mhz r7 260x.
