gigabyte z97 gaming 7 motherboard + evga gtx 980 ti GPU-Z showing x8!

[Johne1646]

have a z97 gaming 7 motherboard, with a 980 ti, i ran gpu z and it shows @x8 1.1, then when i run the render test it shows @x8 3.0


i have it in the first (closest) slot to the CPU on the board...


i cant think why it is showing it @ x8

Check your motherboard manual and make sure that they slots aren't in a weird configuration. And if you are in a x16 lane than change to another x16 lane.
