Right now its at 100 but it seems if its 16X should be 133MHz? Thanks.

The correct speed is the speed required by the plug-in. 100Mhz appears to be
a default. I believe that 100MHz is also used by the AIT X series of VGA
boards like the X600xx.
The 16x is not a speed multiplier, it is the number of transmit/receive
pairs assigned to PCIe long socket. The other two are 1u that is, one
receive pair and one transmit pair.
I like Gigabyte because they are always ahead of there users.
