Hi

I think that you are just a bit confused. This graphics card should run fine in your x16 slot or even an x8 slot if it came to it. Any problem you are having is unlikely to be due to the GPU not being compatible with the slot.

Hi there,

There have been a few issues with the the Rev 2.0 version of this board that required a BIOS update to allow some GPU's to run correctly and this maybe the situation that you are facing. I do have a BIOS update for the Rev2.0 board but sadly it won't work on the Rev 1.0

The best advice would be to contact Tech Support here: http://uk.gigabyte.com/support-downloads/technical-support.aspx as they will be the ones to advise you better as to GPU compatibility.
