Certain boards experiment with various setups. A PCIe4 M.2 might seem incompatible with a GPU that needs PCIe4, causing the board to limit performance. PCIe4 is designed for speeds of 3, while a 5 could be unsupported.
Thanks to everyone, I resolved the problem. I double-checked the slot and saw it wasn’t fully connected. It was a straightforward fix, and I’m grateful for your support.
