hi I think this is motherboard related so I am in the right place, my pc seems to be running my gcard at pcie 3.0 x16 @ x8 3.0 in the 1st pcie slot with no other slots taken up, the board is a sabertooth z77 which has pcie 3.0 and the card is a 750 ti with pcie 3.0 support, so shoudnt it be running at x16 3.0, the bios displays it at x8 aswell as gpuz on desktop pcie 3.0 x16 @ x8 3.0, even after the render test it is still the same, my cpu is an i7 3770k, I did read that it could be something to do with usb 3.0 taking up pci-e lanes or possibly a power saving feature, but there is not much on google about it unless your running sli/crossfire, can any one shed some light on this please thanks....
