hi first time poster but a regular reader of the site 🙂
im wondering if someone can tell why in gpu-z it says my gpu is running pci-e 3.0 x8 @ x8 1.1 idle and when in use its pci-e 3.0 x8 @ x8 2.0 .
my motherboard is pci-e 3.0 and also my graphics card so shouldnt it be running at 3.0 x16?
ive taken screen shots of gpu-z so you can see what i see.
any ifomation would be welcomed 🙂
first picture is idle 2nd picture is with render test
my system....
amd x4 750k cpu
gigabyte r7 240 oc 2gb ddr3 pci-e 3.0 x16
4gb corsair xms3 1600mhz
gigabyte GA-F2A88XM-DS2 (rev. 3.0) motherboard pci-e 3.0 x16
corsair vs650 650w
