    I went into the Catalyst control panel for my ATI card and it reads Current Bus capacity Pci Express and It's suppose to be PCI express 16x But there is no slot for a pcie external power connector so What can i do to bring up the speed of my video card?

    I'm sorry I'm not quite sure I understand.

    If I understand you right you are talking about the power plug (6 pin PCIe or 4 pin molex) that goes connected on the video cards for extra power right?

    I don't think the HD2600's need this at least I don't recall seeing any that require additional power.

    I pressume that your video card is running at 16X bandwith anyway.

    Do me a favor and please download this application and run it. It's called GPUz and it tells you all kinds of cool info on your graphics card. If you look under bus interface it will tell you exactly at what bus speed your card is running. It will say PCIe X16 @ X16 or PCIe X16 @ X8 or something along those lines.

    Well 8X bandwith is nothing to worry about at the moment really nothing to worry about at all. If you are having trouble with any particular game it may be because the video card may not be able to handle it, but not because of the 8X bandwith.

    Create a new thread if you have a issue as this topic is a year old.
