1050 ti Gpu running at x8 instead of x16 Help

[racklessrulezzzz]

Can someone help me how to run my Gpu at x16.

PCIe 3.0 x8 or x16 won't make an impact with the 1050ti. Have you made any recent upgrades that may impact that slot? Check your manual to see what occupied slots may impact others. I would also check the BIOS settings. If everything looks good, try re-seating everything including CPU.

Also.... Check the manual. A lot of the times PC-E lanes are shared between other devices. So if youre running an NvMe SSD in a particular slot. that might be eating up some of the lanes that would normally be reserved for your graphics card.

But since your running a 1050Ti anyway. Being at 8x isnt a huge loss as its still at PCI-Ex 3.0

Yes i am running 1 NvMe SSD in my system but i am super noob donot know how to fix can u guide me how to fix that.

Hello Rackless,

M2 drives on a Tomahawk board or on any other ASUS Board, will ocuppy one or two SATA slots depending on which M2 slot you put the drive on,
it does'nt affect your Graphics PCI Lanes,

1. SATA2 will be unavailable when installing M.2 SATA SSD in the M2_1 slot.
2. SATA5 & SATA6 will be unavailable when installing M.2 SATA/PCIe SSD in the M2_2 slot.
3. Before using Intel® Optane™ memory modules, please ensure that you have updated the drivers and BIOS to the latest version from MSI website.

Where is your grapichs card located? on the top PCI Express with the Metal shield or the Bottom one on the board?

regards

Bios Version?

Also try the following,
place your card on the bottom PCI Express and test to see if the bus speed goes to 16x, and then put it on the metal shielded one again,
if it stays at 8x the bios just simply doesn't see any advantage of allocating all that speed to that card because it simply just dont pays out in performance.

Bios latest version .1 more question if I update my GPU like RTX 3060 or 3070 will it run at 16x.

of course, but just one remark

RTX 3060 + are PCI-E 4.0 16X

with that 10 Series CPU it will only run at PCI-E 3.0 X16
only if you update to 11 series CPU it will run at PCI-E 4.0 X16 and take full advantage of the card.

just check the oficial site for your board

Thanks for your kind time SIr.

1050Ti only run at X8, there is nothing wrong with the GPU.

The motherboard doesn't make that kind of judgement. If a card supports x16 and all 16 lanes are available, it will allocate all of them.

1050Ti only run at X8, there is nothing wrong with the GPU.

Wouldn't GPU-Z say "PCI-e x8 3.0 @ x8 3.0" then instead of "PCI-e x16 3.0 @ x8 3.0"?

As far as I know, the 1050 Ti is an x16 card.

@racklessrulezzzz Have you tried cleaning the PCI-e connectors on both the card and motherboard? Also, what other PCI-e devices are installed in your PC?

Can someone help me how to run my Gpu at x16.

Click the question mark next to where it says pcie lanes and run the test to see if it climbs

You aint running msi afterburner are you?

The GTX 1050 series, was before the days of PCI-E 4.0, so I dunno. I know OTOH that AMD does this to RX 5500 XTs. (only support x8) (AMD, OTOH, did this to get people to PCI-E 4.0, it surely seems!)

I'm not even aware of Turing using PCI-E 4.0. Much less the GTX 1050 series.

Turing and Pascal are both PCI-e 3.0, but only the GT 1030 uses x4 lanes. All the rest are x16 as far as I know.

GT 1030=That doesn't surprise me.

I stand corrected and admit my error, it is a X16 card.

Your CPU-z screenshot showing the Mainboard Tab shows current Link width as X8, Max X16.
Are you using the other lanes elsewhere?

 

[newtekie1]

The first thing I would do is try reseating the GPU. Make sure it is all the way in the slot.

Trying to shove it in harder is not going to make it bigger (that's what she said)
It's at the allowed Link speed of X8.
Either a Bios setting is limiting it, or something else is using the PCI-e lanes.

I have only GTX 1050ti and 1 NVMe M.2 Solid State Drive and 1 normal hard disk is installed in my PC . How I know which other thing is using the PCI-e lanes.

...or some connector pins are dirty/damaged.
