Agreed, currently I don't believe even the 2080ti or RTX Titan can fully saturate
the bandwidth of PCIe 3.0 x8. As far as I am aware, they can barely saturate
PCIe 3.0 x4. Contrary to popular belief, GPUs do not fuel PCIe development, it is
mostly designed for storage and network throughput. GPUs are quite a bit behind
what a PCIe SSD or high bandwidth LAN adapter can demand.

OK, I run a test (The Witcher 3 in Wine+dxvk on Linux, 1920x1200, max settings, hairworks off). I don't see any difference in framerate, besides regular fluctuations:

slot 1:


slot 2:


So I'd assume the difference is slots not impacting it.

You're wrong, Ray62; according to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PCI_Express#History_and_revisions, PCIe 3 works at 8 billion transactions per second.

Hey Ray62, I didn't know about that. I don't think it does, instead:





It looks as it should in the PCIE3 slot:
GPU is a PCIe 3.0 one
Max. link width is 16
Current link width is 8

If you would place the card in PCIE1, it should be:
GPU is a PCIe 3.0 one
Max. link width is 16
Current link width is 16

My Vega56 is plugged into PCI3. This is what hwinfo64 says:


and also 8 GT/s in the Sensor Monitoring window. Looks like PCIe 3 x16 to me.



pcie3 X16 = pcie4 X8 (8GB/s)

Pay attention! This is just an information for the capabilities of the card.
You should check the PCIE slots under Motherboard->SMBIOS DMI->System Slots where you can see the slot data bus width. The PCIE3 will show you the 8x mode, i guess.
