Hello there.
I just got my Maximus XIII Apex and i am really disappointed.. The first M.2 Slot does not work with 10th Gen CPUs, the second one uses Lanes from the CPU which means my GPU runs at 8x.. Same goes for the Dimm.2.. When i use that thing (and the settings DO NOT MATTER in the Bios) the GPU also runs at 8x.
WTF is wrong with Asus these days? Can i throw that Board into the trash now if i don't wanna DOWNGRADE from 10th Gen to 11th Gen ?

Regarding the CPU Lanes:
Intel® 10th Core™ Processors:
- M.2_2 supports PCIE 3.0 x4 mode M Key design and type 2242 / 2260 / 2280 PCIe storage devices
- M.2_2 slot shares bandwidth with PCIEX 16_1 and PCIEX 16_2. When M.2_2 runs x4 mode, PCIEX 16_1 will run x8 mode and PCIEX 16_2 will run x4 mode
Regarding the DIMM.2 card:
- DIMM.2_1 supports PCIe 3.0 x4 and SATA mode Key M design and type 2242 / 2260 / 2280 /22110 PCIe storage devices
- DIMM.2_2 supports PCIe 3.0 x4 mode Key M design and type 2242 / 2260 / 2280 /22110 PCIe storage devices
- When DIMM.2_1 is operating in SATA mode, SATA6G_2 will be disabled

There is no mention of the DIMM.2 card does something to the 1st PCIe x16 slot
You might want to look into the bios since the PCIe bifurcation might be turned on (since you seem to have tried using it with the M.2 on the board)
otherwise do a Cmos reset with your M.2 in the Dimm.2 card to see if this fixes the issue
In your case the ROG MAXIMUS XII APEX would have been a better choice (Since that is made for 10th Gen)

Guess what, i have tried everything already. First i started with the DIMM.2 only, 2 NVMe's connected there. GPU ran at 8x NO MATTER WHAT SETTINGS I HAVE USED. Obviously i did a cmos reset, bios update etc. etc.
No, the XII Apex would NOT be the better choice because it's more expensive and older than the XIII.
But thank your for pointing out the same **** i have written in the first post. That's how you got your counter up eh ?
