    Question GPU-Z BUG or BIOS PCIe 5.0 MOBO

    My copy of GPU-Z (version 2.51.0) reports Bus Interface as "PCIe 4.0 @ 8x." First my ASUS ROG Extreme Z790 has a PCIe 5.0 x16 Bus Interface and my RTX 4090 has a PCIe 4.0 x16 Bus Interface. Correct reporting should be PCIe 5.0 x8 which is equivalent to PCIe 4.0 x16 in bandwidth. Yesterday I...

    Question My GPU is always running on PCIe 1.1 and won't go back to PCIe 2.0 when full load

    Hi everyone, my GPU is GTX 460, CPU is Xeon E3-1220 V3, and motherboard is Gigabyte H81M-DS2V (rev 1.0) with latest BIOS version F6. My problem is that my GPU always runs on PCIe 1.1 even at full load (gaming) and won't go back to running on PCIe 2.0 unless I restart my PC. This problem makes...

    [SOLVED] Possible GPU Bottlenecking problem? GPU-Z showing Idle under load ?

    Hi all! I've noticed for a while now that despite my GPU hitting 100% usage when doing something intense, say Skyrim VR (modded) and Streaming at the same time, my GPU still shows as Idle inside of GPU-Z. CPU seems to comfortably sit at max like 50% and I've not noticed any noticable problems...

    [SOLVED] Discrepancy confirming GPU's PCIE bus speed between GPU-Z and Nvidia Control Panel - Which do I believe?

    Unfortunately, I am not able to use the first slot on my motherboard for my new card as my CPU cooler is too chonky and ends up touching the card. This got me a bit paranoid at the possibility that my card is being hampered by a lower bus speed. My motherboard's manual...

    [SOLVED] GPU acting strange after driver update.

    Hi all, So recently I upgraded my graphics driver from 461.40 to 461.72 through Geforce experience and afterwards noticed that if i adjusted anything in MSI afterburner even just the fan speed it would go to a black screen and only come back once I had unplugged and reconnected my HDMI cable. I...

    [SOLVED] GPU-Z says PCIe x4 when it should be x16.

    My cousin get's a consistent 10 FPS on games like CS:GO and American Truck Simulator despite having an excellent graphics card (AMD Radeon RX 580). We found out his PCIe was x16 @ x4 in GPU-Z and knew it was reducing his performance. When we enable his integrated GPU (AMD Radeon Vega 3) he gets...

    [SOLVED] RTX 3070 (MSI GAMING x TRIO) Optimization

    Hi everyone. I recently bought myself an RTX 3070 MSI GAMING x TRIO and I'm quite happy with it. My performance with Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War is sometimes a bit disappointing though. At first I thought it might have to do with the optimization of the game itself (which is usually quite...

    [SOLVED] Different programs reading different CPU temps!

    At this current state, HWINFO64 is saying that right now (for today) the max CPU temp was 68 Degrees Celsius, But GPU-Z Says that the max temp was 82 Degrees Celsius. I Trust more HWINFO64 since it's designed to report every single info it can, from temperatures of the CPU and GPU to temps of...

    [SOLVED] GPU-Z - GPU Clock and Default Clock at Boost Clock speed?

    I just bought a used Sapphire Nitro RX 480 4gb and used GPU-Z to check, the GPU Clock and Default Clock are both at 1306 MHz. I just checked the gpu clock speeds at techpowerup and it says Base Clock: 1202 MHz , Boost Clock: 1306 MHz. It got me wondering why both GPU Clock and Default Clock are...

    Question Thermal Limits in GPU-Z

    I bought a lenovo 720s-15ikb with a i7-7700hq and a gtx 1050ti max-q. I already knew there were some throttling issues with the laptop and many people had fixed it pretty easily. The issue was the laptop would underclock the gpu and cpu so that power draw would be under 90W(the power brick is a...
