It's right on the Mobo board. The GPU pins seem a bit damaged. Should I use PCIe 3.0? I see hwinfo missing some sensor data—like power usage, VRAM, fan speed, and temperature. Do you think the system can still function properly without reading those metrics?
Yes, you can configure hwinfo to access PCIe 3.0 devices. Adjust settings in hwinfo to recognize the PCIe 3.0 interface and enable sensor reading.
Recent update. Successfully ran Windows for a short time with pcie4, but audio quality dropped and the system crashed when switching devices. This might point to the problem. Also, Gpu utilization wasn't showing any VRAM activity—only 0mb displayed, and bandwidth remains unclear.
Hello, I see you're facing similar problems. It seems like the issue might be related to your motherboard rather than just the card. The PCIe 3.0 setup and Windows performance problems could point toward a hardware compatibility or driver issue. Have you checked the BIOS settings for any updates or changes?
