My x16 GPU reported as X8

[DMartin]

Hi

I wonder why my X16 GPU shows as x8 ? . I tried other utilities and got the same information but what is the problem ? I tried to reseat the CPU, RAM and GPU but I still get the same result

I supppose it's simply because the PCIe x16 slot where you placed your video card only supports x8 or only supports x8 with the current PCIe lane configuration.
