I've had this board for awhile now, and had no issues with it.  But recently I bought 2 new cards; GTX 1060 3GB and RX-470 4GB.  Both the Pascal and the Polaris cards will not get out of PCIe v1.1 on this board when they are stress tested.  I've checked this with both GPU-Z and HWInfo64. 

Latest BIOS in the board and latest VBIOS in the cards.  Latest versions of the above pgms.  Is this an issue related to this board and the new Pascal and Polaris cards?

Both cards show the proper PCIe v2.0 or v3.0 on my other AMD and Intel boards.  And my other slightly older cards show the correct version on this board.

What's the PSU there, and how old is it?

What BIOS revision is the MB running/flashed to?

Is there no option to set the speed/Gen of the PCIe slots in the BIOS? The manual does not show that option, but it could be included in a new BIOS version.

It might be an issue with those cards and this board, but I haven't seen that stated anywhere... yet.

This has come up here many times.

Grab GPU-z and run it's internal Render test.
