iam facing a weird issue. My GIGABYTE GAMING OC RTX 3050 is not properly on my (ASUS Z790 WIFI) PCIE GEN5 SLOT. either it's working on another pcie slot which is gen4 slot . i have done everything flashed the bios or reinstall the driver kindly help me. change the GPU to check the GEN5 slot everything is working perfect but i don't understand why my GPU is doing things.

It is a PCI-E 4 card IIRC.

Reading into Tech Specs and comparing:

The RTX 3050 only supports upto PCIe 4.0 as mentioned by Rokin.

The Motherboard has a single PCIe 5.0 slot but with a compatible GPU.

There are no cards to EXCLUSIVELY support PCIe 5.0 mode currently but the 4090 for example can use that lane for power, but run in PCIe 4.0 mode
