I have a 9070 XT installed on my Asrock B450 ITX motherboard. The AMD driver software is reporting that the PCI-E bus is running at PCI-E 3.0 x8 despite the motherboard supporting PCI-E 3.0 x16 mode. I heard from other brands that installing a M.2 drive will reduce the GPU PCI-E slot speed from x16 to x8, but I'm not sure whether this applies to the Asrock B450 ITX specifically because I can't find any mention of this in the motherboard manual. I do have a M.2 SSD installed.

And if it matters, I have a 5700X3D CPU installed. The motherboard BIOS is flashed to the latest version (10.43 Beta).
