I noticed my GPU was at x8 during GPU-Z session, while I believed it should be running at x16. I'm unsure what might be causing this discrepancy. Here are some screenshots that could assist, along with a note about your motherboard model and the attached image showing the GPU placement.

RX7600XT supports only x8 connections. The GPUZ image you shared confirms this detail.

It is designed exclusively for PCIe 4.0 8x connections, ensuring it operates as expected. It offers ample bandwidth suitable for its chip size.
