Title: GIGABYTE Z170-D3H use my GPU 980Ti throught PCIE 3.0 8X lines
Post by: NohyCZ on November 30, 2016, 02:40:21 pm

CPUZ shows that my GPU 980Ti using only PCIE 3.0 8 x lanes instead of 16 x . When i check it in Nvidia control panel there is 16 x .
I updated the newest bios of version F20.
In BIOS i can set AUTO / GEN1 / GEN 2 / GEN 3 for general PCIE standart, but I cant see where I can set number of PCIE lines. If its possible.

When i googling, at NVIDIA forum was something about that I have to set Sata3 TURBO mode off. But I cant find this setting in bios.

And find too, that in past time was detected similar problem with other Gigabyte board.

Please where is the problem?

You using a M2 drive it might be using some on the lines.

Plus they might be talking about this:

Fast Boot
Enables or disables Fast Boot to shorten the OS boot process. Ultra Fast provides the fastest bootup
speed. (Default: Disabled)

SATA Support
All Sata Devices All SATA devices are functional in the operating system and during the POST.
(Default)
Last Boot HDD Only Except for the previous boot drive, all SATA devices are disabled before the OS
boot process completes.
    This item is configurable only when Fast Boot is set to Enabled or Ultra Fast

Thx for fast replying. I realized according Tomshardware that everything is ok. In HWinfo, there I can see 8GT/s in maximum. According to Tomshardware moderator it is OK.

---> A Pcie version 3 lane is capable of 985MB/s (PER LANE) or 8GT (giga transfers) so an x16 slot would have 15.75GB/s of bandwidth.

Today i check it in GPUZ, but I think it will be fine... CPUZ showing misleading information....

Gpuz under render test show the same resault. @ 8x3.0PCIE.
In HWINFO is max speed 8GT/s.

I dont use any M2. SATA PCIE card.
I use right first 16x3.0 PCIE.
In GPUZ under render test is still @x8 3.0 PCIE.
I load optimized bios.


SO?

My graphics card or motherboard is faulty?
Or for some reason GPUZ and CPUZ show 8x3.0PCIE. Isnt it?
I need try another graphics card firstly. It is simplest solution...... But i dont have another one now...
