** Read full description about issue**

This GPU does operate, but when it gets under load it goes from PCIx16 to PCIx1. I have tried various drivers and even flashed the BIOS.

I have not opened the GPU and it is fairly clean.

Because of this it only runs about half of the speed that it should under gaming.

If you want something that looks cool for the shelf or just don't mind running at lower speed, this will work.
