    That's an older board. May be time for an upgrade.

    Define "support". You might think your 10 year warranty on the SR-2 is worth something, but there are no more replacements, even refurbs (for the record, I never head a refurb replacement on my SR-2 that didn't have something wrong with it).
     
    Long warranties aren't worth much more than the paper they're written on, in terms of getting working replacements.
     
    PCIe 3.0 is a waste of time, unless you are a heavy user of poorly written CUDA or Xeon Phi applications, and on both of those counts you need 64-bit BAR support which only a handful of motherboards support, none of which are made by EVGA.
     
    Oh, and your 96GB of memory configuration is lopsided on the SR-X across the banks, which isn't great for performance.
     
    All for up to a whopping 5% OC.

    t

    SR-2 are junk and I agree with you on that point, because I'm talking about SR-X.

    As per specs

    Clear it stats PCI Express 3.0 Ready, so now are we talking about false advertising if board has current up to date bios and drivers and still only see the 3.o graphic card reading as a 2.0?

    Hello MrBLoody369,
     
    Have you tried using the force PCI Gen 3 tool provided from Nvidia?

    Jus my little contribution.
    After the bad experience I got with SRX, I totally lost my confidence on EVGA.
    EVGA might not care, just one guy not buying EVGA anymore,, but as it happen, in the last two years I won seven contracts with local businesses and sold 200+ custom-built workstations.
    And I picked ASUS motherboards...
    Sorry EVGA, again, not much, but that was more than $40K in motherboards alone (I've been installing Maximus), half of them needed GPUs (for rendering, etc), and I got Zotac, that was little more than $10K. PSUs, and other little things that I would have bought from EVGA if only the SRX would have been half of the user experience they promised.
     
    Again, not much for EVGA Im sure, but who knows how many more workstations I will sell, and I doubt I ever go back to EVGA.
    Just because the SRX alone, the lack of commitment, the poor support and the disregard for the customers.
    Im not saying ASUS is great, but they havent disappointed me to this level yet.
     
    I know, many users are brain washed, and will defend EVAG no matter how much they slap them in the face, but for me, one time is enough.
    Being cutting edge is not excuse for being careless to the customers.
