Maximus VI Hero PCI-E issue

Yeah that is about all you can do, either have a know working motherboard or a know working CPU and then compare the outcomes.

i had the same problem on my old MVG board..
it showed 8x everywere (gpuz and bios) but it ran on 16x because i didnot have any performance loss
i even won a ROG challenge with it
so i would trie to compare your gpu benchmarkscores online with others and see if it differs
good luck

Thanks for that Flexnl - so very true.

I have the same problem with you.

My system is 980Ti, 4790K, Z97 Asus Hero.

I observed that my vga runs only x8 3.0! I tried different bios but I cannot find a solution.





Do you find a solution ?

Today i update the drivers and im having problems with gsync on wow, so i tried to see what happened with gpuz and i saw it is a t x8, not sure if the drivers had something to do, but i'll check it with older driver.

I remember when i started with this MB and my 980TI this summer i saw it was at x16, so there is something in middle who ****ed the pcie.

When I bought 980TI in August I checked the pci-ex 3.0 speed and it was x16. Today the pci-ex 3.0 speed is x8.
I tried all the possible solutions without good results.

I don't understand what going on...

Could you give me more details about your pc setup

Im back from a few changes and nothing happened. Swapped the 980ti and tried to reset BIOS and nothing.

Im using a Hero vii with a 4790k + 980TI and 2 ssd's.

I have to say i never updated the bios and perhaps that's a problem, but not sure if that can fix it.

EDIT: i saw this post and i knew there is a **** loss of fps, but that was reallw low...

This is the last thing i thought it would happen... I switched back the gfx to the initial position and now it says x16 in gpuz.

Hi there, I'm having the very same problem here. My motherboard won't use 16x speed for my single gpu, no matter what I do.
I've tried to set the PCI slot to Gen 3, but it still says "x8".
When I go into the PCI Express Settings tab, under PCIe Speed I can only choose between Auto, Gen1 or Gen 2.
Did anyone find a solution ? Help please .
