    I did some quick Heaven runs at 4K, before and after the fix, and didn't *see* much noticeable difference, but there's some.

    Pertinent Heaven settings:

    Quality: Ultra
    Tessellation: Extreme
    Anti-aliasing: x8
    Full Screen
    Resolution: 3840 x 2160

    I did three runs before and after the fix.

    PCIE 2.0:

    Run #1: Min. FPS 15.3 / Max FPS: 60.7 / FPS: 32.8 / Score: 826
    Run #2: Min. FPS 18.0 / Max FPS: 60.9 / FPS: 33.0 / Score: 830
    Run #3: Min. FPS 18.6 / Max FPS: 60.9 / FPS: 32.8 / Score: 826

    PCIE 3.0:

    Run #1: Min. FPS 12.9 / Max FPS: 61.3 / FPS: 33.0 / Score: 830
    Run #2: Min. FPS 18.1 / Max FPS: 61.5 / FPS: 33.0 / Score: 830
    Run #3: Min. FPS 20.0 / Max FPS: 61.3 / FPS: 33.0 / Score: 831

    I wouldn't want to read much into mild benching like this, with only 3 runs, but it looks like there was some improvement. Interesting. I'll leave the fix in place and see how stable the system is.
