PCIe 16x does not work

[Lukasz]

Hi.
Gpu works only 8x-any suggestions ?

That card should be PCIE bus with 8 lanes in teh first place

e.g. https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/geforce-rtx-5060-ti-8-gb.c4246

Did you read any review or the specs before posting?

Besides memory, both variants have an identical hardware configuration. They're both based on the GB206 silicon, which they max out, enabling all 36 streaming multiprocessors (SM) present, which works out to 4,608 CUDA cores, 144 Tensor cores, 36 RT cores, 144 TMUs, and 48 ROPs. Besides updating the memory sub-system to GDDR7, the PCIe host interface has been updated to PCI-Express Gen 5, and although the interface is still x8, Gen 5 brings bandwidth back up to what it was with the RTX 3060 Ti with its PCI-Express Gen 4 x16.

Like Roman said this GPU does not support PCIe x16, there is nothing wrong with your setup. It's a x8 card.

Yeah and its also not a problem if you have pcie 5. Its not even really a problem on pcie 4, but it can reduce performance on pcie 3, especially when the memory is 8gb. But yours is 16 so you're double fine don't worry about it. Though I really don't like how they do this now, for the backwards compatibility reasons.

Thanks for quick response. Bought this GPU as it was cheap and I am not expert in IT.

My card is 16 GB

All RTX 5060 (Ti) GPUs are PCIe Gen 5.0 x8, VRAM regardless.
