Hey everyone! I'm having an issue with my GPU (a 9070) that's installed on a B850 motherboard. Initially, I couldn't get the GPU to work at all in the top PCIe slot (which is Gen5). After clearing the CMOS, I finally got it running, but when I check it in Furmark, it shows only 4x speed. Is this normal? I've linked to a screenshot from CPU-Z for reference.

It might be a bug with GPU-Z. I'd recommend checking your GPU status with HWInfo to see if it reports the same thing.
Thanks for the tips, everyone! I realized the GPU wasn't seated correctly. After removing and reinstalling it, it's now showing 16x!
This could either be a bug or it might depend on the load. If your GPU isn't under much load, it might be running in a power-saving mode.
Try running GPU-Z and look at the BUS Interface section to see what it reports. That might give you more insights on what's going wrong.
That's not normal. Make sure the GPU is seated firmly in the slot. Also, check the pins for any damage like scratches or discoloration.
Glad to hear that! Proper seating makes a big difference.
