My motherboard supports PCIe x16 and the GPU is also PCIe x16. However, when I look in GPU-Z, even under intensive load, my GPU is only using PCIe x8:

Is this a problem or just a power saving feature? How do I make it run on x16?

PCIe 3.0 @ x8 won't affect anything at all.

  • Do you have the GPU in the PCIe x16 slot nearest the CPU?
  • What other expansion cards do you have installed?

I only have the GPU installed, no other cards. It is in the x16 slot.
