Is there a way to determine the speed of the PCI Express connection to a specific card? I have three cards plugged in:
two Nvidia GTX 480's (one at x16 & and one at x8)
one Nvidia GTX 460 running at x8
Is there some way, either by a function call in C or an option to lspci that I can determine the bus speed of the graphics cards? When I only use one of the cards for my CUDA program, I'd like to use the one which is running at x16.
Thanks!
Note: lspci -vvv dumps out
For the two GTX 480s. I don't see any differences that pertain to bus speed.

And the only differences I see relate specifically to the memory mapping:
