can't run gpu with 16x help

[Arkz]

It clearly states "It is currently running at: PCI Express x16 v1.1" in that red box in the picture. Although that might just be power saving at idle

That's the picture in the background from a further up post. tiggers is the gpuz on the left

Yes, you're right, my bad!

that is not mine, mine is the one on the left. i just happened to paste my pic over the TPU image. check the gpu-z pic, gtx 1080, check my specs, the same.

Yeah he knows. Look above.

The manual do specify it

Could you point out which page or post a screen shot of where it specifically says this in the manual?

Blaming the M.2 drive(s) was the first thing I thought of and pulled up your MB's manual but didn't see anything specific to using a PCIe NVMe would use available PCIe lanes. Only text I found was talking about the M.2 drives size when which port is occupied, and how it could disable SATA ports if a SATA M.2....which makes sense. But usually in these same areas of manuals they would list if the M.2 ports are PHC or CPU PCIe lanes and how they could be disabled depending on how many or which port has a PCIe NVMe disk installed. All it really says is the M.2 slots will operate at PCIe 3.0 x 4, which should mean the available bandwidth of the port, that does NOT mean it is actually taking those x4 lanes away from the x16 to PCIe3.0_1 (top GPU slot). Am I just missing it or did ASUS really not list this info? That or they really worded that incredibly poor.

Sorry was a “don’t” specify it

lol ok that makes more sense now! I think ASUS deserves a good slap on the wrist for this blatant omission of basic info. This is standard stuff to include in a MB manual when such ports are on them. Sorry to see you were partly misled here and had to go through such trouble to get the answer you were looking for.

Hi,
Mine is just different vbios is all there hasn't been any updates that I know of so still on original version code 1.1..
Did I miss the op even posting his gpu-z readout lol ?

Sorry was a “don’t” specify it

Hi,
Where's the screen shot of gpu-z I requested ?

Here for u max supported x16 but running 8x

I want to say to every one Thx For Helping

Hi,
Okay x8 is weird there mine on z490 shows x16 there alough I'm on apex and using the dimm_2 slot which uses pch
Can you do the render test as shown above clicking on the question mark symbol and have hwinfo open and see if it shows the same max pci-e link speed 8 GT/s as mine does.

Guys even from the bios is saying 8x but any suggestion ?

 

[Toothless]

Guess play around with it until you get that extra 2 fps.

 

[mexi95]

Here your %

20 fps in 1080p it’s not 2 fps

If you M.2 drive uses some PCIe lanes, of course BIOS will only let you use up to 8. Have you moved that SSD?

 

[Mussels]

Here your %

7% at 1080p, from your own image (280FPS vs 260FPS)
I wouldnt want to give up 7%, but being limited to 260FPS is a laugh.

Sounds like you need to do a rebuild of your system, changing your NVME layout to get the full bandwidth.

for moving the ssd have to disassemble the water cooling sistem

And you still haven't understood without moving the SSD you will not have 16 PCIe lanes available for the video card. I can't help you any further.

 

[Tatty_Two]

Sorry, late to the party but I thought that the z390 chipset supported 24 PCI-e 3.0 lanes natively AFAIK, it is only slots 1 and 2 that are restricted to 16 max between them?

 

[Flaky]

CPU and chipset have their own, separate PCIe controllers. Look at the diagrams for a good visualization -> https://www.guru3d.com/news-story/intel-z390-chipset-product-brief-and-block-diagram-posted.html

This board doesn't seem to wire cpu lanes to anything other than first two x16 slots.
That would mean for OP that either bios is misconfigured, or some part is defective.

Hi,
I give up dude won't follow simple instructions or suggestions peace out.

Sorry no one told me this or I didn’t read ! , as soon as possible I’ll do it

Hi,
Like I said in post 4 I believe "switch m.2 modes" to sata atm it's default is likely pci-e.
Only one m.2 slot is sata mode compatible so switch if sata mode doesn't appear.

Thx I will try

But whene its wrote sata more are the m.2 sata ssd

And not the nvme m.2

Hi,
If sata mode does not appear as an option in either m.2 slots yes you may need to switch to a m-key sata m.2.
