I made the mistake of reading an article last week about how utilising PCI-E slots beyond the 16x for your GPU can cut down the available bandwidth. I had a network card and soundcard in my 1x slots.
I ran a 3D mark benchmark tonight that checks PCI-E bandwidth and it gave me a result of 3.06GB/s. To validate what PCI-E speed I was getting I checked GPU-Z and it stayed at x4 even under heavy load.
GPU is in the recommended top slot (16x) and I reseated it and checked unplugged/plugged in the PSU cables. I removed all other PCI-E devices and cleared my CMOS (shorted pin method). Still stuck on x4.
Has anyone had this before? It would be great if someone else with a 2070s and running at x16 could check their result in the aforementioned 3D Mark bench.
I've googled it death and can't find a resolution after trying loads of suggestions.
Spec is as per signature.
