Yes but they should have been gettin Gen 3.0x16 not Gen 3.0x8 hence the problem.The motherboard (AMD B450 chipset) is PCI-E Gen3.
Your graphics card is PCI-E Gen4.
x8 Gen4 = x16 Gen3

I'm not sure if his readings are accurate.Yes but they should have been gettin Gen 3.0x16 not Gen 3.0x8 hence the problem.
i tried that it stayed at X8. i hae a b550 coming tomorrow will see how it's on there or knowing my luck that won't boot lolOr try changing the PCIe generation to Gen 3 instead of leaving it on auto. That might help the situation a little bit. Maybe?
SHould boot out of the box with your set up no need for Bios update for your CPU to work on the board.i tried that it stayed at X8. i hae a b550 coming tomorrow will see how it's on there or knowing my luck that won't boot lol
It's not 2.1.1 (something like that does not exist anyway).i tried to switch the bios settings to 8X8 and was going to reset it to check if it "magically works" but it set itself to 2.1.1
Do not agree with that and may just add confusion for the userIt's not 2.1.1 (something like that does not exist anyway).
If you pay attention to the posted screenshot you will see that is PCIe x16 4.0 running at x2 because there is no load.
That 1.1 at the end is the version, which is obviously a wrong reading.
Power saving is about the number of PCIe lanes in use.Do not agree with that and may just add confusion for the user
PCIE can do some funny things with power saving enable is one of the reason I customise my Power profiles

The first thing I would do is to reseat the CPU (and to check for bent pins).
The second one would be to try with another (model of) graphics card.
The 3rd one would be another motherboard.

Power saving is about the number of PCIe lanes in use.
Not about the PCIe version (which must be always the same)!
That's a GPUZ bug (like many others ...).
The bottom line: I don't see any real problem with his system (like @darkhawk just pointed out).
I mean, I worry very little about what it says.....It's very obvious as soon as you start up a game whether you're getting the performance you should or not. And in reality, that's what matters, not what some random program reports.
I pretty sure that is a PCIE4.0 x 16 GPUreset. done before you even saw the thread
no bent pins.
the PCIe x16 4.0 running at x2 runs at X8 even AT LOAD but seems this is a B450 it shouldn't run at PCIE 4.0 so you're missing read the it yourself
i was running a 5600xt (X8)on here but sold that because why not in todays market![]()
I pretty sure that is a PCIE4.0 x 16 GPU
That's what I told you in my first posted message.the PCIe x16 4.0 running at x2 runs at X8 even AT LOAD but seems this is a B450 it shouldn't run at PCIE 4.0 so you're missing read the it yourself![]()
That's what I told you in my first posted message.
Again:
The motherboard (AMD B450 chipset) is PCI-E Gen3.
Your graphics card is PCI-E Gen4.
x8 Gen4 = x16 Gen3
So at full load you get PCIe x8 4.0
Clear enough now?
Your CPU is PCIe 4.0how can something run X8 4.0 when the mobo specifications are 3.0
THE b450 is gen 3 only.Your CPU is PCIe 4.0
The first PCIe slot is connected directly to the CPU.
That's why.
