Hello, i bought and installed a new Digital Alliance
GeForce GT630 2Gb DDR3. i found out that my VGA card runs on PCI-e x8 not PCI-e x16, while the slot is supported x16. what could be the problem? does gt 630 not support x16?

It doesn't really matter. GT 630 isn't fast enough to saturate even PCI-e x16.

Which PCI Express slot are you using? According to the manual, the second slot (the green one) only supports PCI-E x8, even though it is an x16 slot. Do you have the card in that slot?

I put the GPU Cards in the first one. PCI-Ex_1.

power saving feature? click on that small question mark next to the readout, it'll start a small render test to kick the card out of the sleepy states.
