I cannot get my GPU into PCIE 4.0. Trapped in 3.0

My GPU will not go into PCIE GEN 4 mode. I go into the bios and try to do it manually but it only goes up to gen 3. What is wrong? I just installed this GPU and i had no problems with my last GPU the 3090, did i put a power cable in the wrong place or something? Did i break it? I assume that if it was broken then it wouldn't work at all. Something called "PCIE 16_1 link speed" allows me to go into gen 4 but the Express Configuration is stuck at gen 3.

EDIT: Omg im not the only one. ASUS fix this ASAP if it is your fault

Of course I can’t find it right now, *but der8auer Had this problem in a video where he was loading the 1kw bios on the 4090. Do a search for that. *If I find it I will update.

If im on the right video then his problem is he is running at 4.0 but its at 8x. Similar problem but not the same. I'm running 16x but its at 3.0

Hi byron vetrix,
ASUS is dealing with this issue with NVIDIA. The issue is expected to be fixed in a future NVIDIA graphics driver.
May I have your serial number of the motherboard via pm?
We will consult our tech team to see if there is special bios for your motherboard as a workaround solution.
Thank you.

I have the TUF Gaming Z590-PLUS WIFI. Don't know the number. Shouldn't they all be the same?
