Hello
I hope someone can help me with this issue. I purchased a Sapphire Radeon 5850 and have installed it into the x16 PCIE slot in my P55-UD6 motherboard. The card does work, however it only gets a Maximum Bus Setting of x2. If I put the same card in the x8 PCIE slot, it runs at x8. I've tried using a different Sapphire Radeon 5850 and 4850 that works at x16 in another PC and get the same result. I've also reset the CMOS on the motherboard and upgraded to the latest bois (F5e) and this has not solved the problem. I've tried disabling the Windows PCIE Power Settings too. From what I can see, there are no BIOS settings that directly affect the Maximum Bus Setting for that PCIE slot.
My PC specs are:
