I’ve got an RTX 5080 and noticed that it’s only running at PCIe 5.0 x8 instead of the expected x16. I only have one SSD installed, so I’m puzzled about why it’s not utilizing all the lanes. Can anyone help me troubleshoot this?
1 Answer
Have you checked your motherboard’s manual? Sometimes, the SSD slot can take up lanes that the GPU might need. It’s worth a look to see if the M.2 slot is sharing lanes with the PCIe slot you’re using.
