have you overclocked your BCLK past 104mhz?

You've clicked on the blue question mark beside the reported PCIe spec and run the render test, yes?

"Modern graphics cards come with extensive power saving features.
One of these functions reduces the PCI-Express link speed & width to lower levels to conserve power when the card is idle.
This is why you might see undesired values in GPU-Z's Bus Interface readout.
If you click the button below, a small render test will be started which should put the card in its highest power state, so you can verify proper PCI-Express speeds.
Once the test is started, look at the Bus Interface readout in the GPU-Z window to change within a few seconds.
(etc)"

Also check Advanced Power Settings in Windows Power Options to confirm the ASPM setting for PCI Express Link State Power Management is disabled.

I manually set the PCIE to gen 3.0 and it correctly reports now. Try doing that in the BIOS.
