so i just bought another gtx 660 ti to sli with my evga sc card but when running gpuz at first it showed the second card was running at 4x 1.1 speeds but after taking it out and putting the card back in it runs at 16x 1.1 is this normal?

Dude... take the card back please... that card wasn't even good in it's prime it's so outdated now. 

Now to answer your question: Did you put it in the same PCI slot? 

The time you enjoy wasting, is not wasted time.

It can happen if the card is not seated correctly. I have also had it happen If I installed a card or 2 and did not reinstall drivers after install. Now the pcie 1.1 is perfectly fine it will jump up to 2.0 when required. here are some instances where pcie gen speed are all different. Pics may be massive I run at 2880x1620 res.... all%20at%202.0.jpg1%20at%201.1%202%20at%202.0.jpg3%20way%20sli%201%20at%202.0%202%20at%20

You won't notice the difference in PCI speeds but i do remember Linus talking about this in a video and it's to do with the number of lanes your cpu supports.
