Question Is This A Correct PCI Express Speed?

[gamer666]

I ran the new PCI Express Feature Test on 3d mark and got the following results..... ( 12.74 GB/s @ 16 x 3.0 )

I scored 0 in PCI Express

Intel Core i7-8700K Processor, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti x 1, 16384 MB, 64-bit Windows 10}

Shouldn't it be 15760MB/s for PCIE @ 16 x 3.0?
Is this normal?

The test is expressed in GB/s

You've expressed it in MB/s

Hence the wildly different figure.

Ah okay got it, thanks. I wrote down the wrong one.
Shouldn't it be 15.75 GB/s then ?

It's a synthetic benchmark that was created to test the new PCEi 4.0 bandwidth.

Unless your are having issues I wouldn't worry about it.

I have been experiencing some issues. Sometimes the GPU will run at a lower bus interface speed and the only way to fix it is reseating the GPU.

That is a bit weird.

It's normal to lower speed for power savings when not being used heavily. I can see that with GPU-z my 5700XT is normally at PCIe 1.5 and have to open the 3D rendering test window to get it to jump up to PCIe 3.0. It also jumps up with Valley or Heaven launches. Have you tried that to see if it behaves coherently?

Yes, The GPU behaves that way unless it needs to be reseated then no matter what load i put onto the GPU (even with render test in gpu-z) the bus interface will remain the same.

This score is with the bus speed running at max.
