Have PCI-E 3.0 x16 mobo but GPU runs only at PCI-E 2.0 x8 ?

[delete_this_user]

I have ASUS A88XM-A with A8-6600K CPU which both support PCIE 3.0 but my new GPU (RX 460) runs only at PCI-E 2.0 x8

It's not like I need it to run at full speed to get extra 3 frames in games, but I'm a perfectionist and that triggers me.

Your motherboard does support pcie 3.0 speed but only with fm2+ CPUs. Unless I'm mistaken your processor falls under the fm2 family but as you said yourself I don't think you'd see any difference in performance to begin with.
