    Question GPU running at 4 x8 instead of x16 ?

    It's not so much if there is a difference today, the cad works very well in the x8 configuration and I am getting the expected FPS in games in comparison with other benchmarks of this card. My concern is will it have an impact in the future as technology improves, as I don't plan on upgrading it...

    Question GPU running at 4 x8 instead of x16 ?

    Yesterday I did a full DDU uninstall of the drivers in case their was an issue there, no joy with that. I set the PCIE slot to Gen 3 in BIOS and still runs at x8 Next I will try GPU in second slot and moving boot drive to another NVME slot. If that doesn't work I will borrow another x16 GPU...

    Question GPU running at 4 x8 instead of x16 ?

    Yeah positive, The nvme is in the m.2_1. I was very careful to where the m.2 was installed. I've no sata ports or anything else connected. I'm really stumped to what the issue could be.

    Question GPU running at 4 x8 instead of x16 ?

    I just noticed an issue with my GPU not running at the correct speed. It is running at 4 x8 instead of x16. I first became aware of the issue when I turned my PC on and I got a message to say my gpu was running at PCIE gen 3 speeds. I am not sure why the change happened but I was alerted to it...
