Yes i thought this too, but this is not the case, in game it continue with low bandwidth

How are you determining that the PCIe is limiting? Most articles on PCIe bandwidth, even for gaming graphics cards, don't show that the PCIe bus is a limiting factor with PCIe 3.0. GPU clock speed or CPU is more likely to be limiting your FPS than the PCIe bus.

What else do you have connected to the PCIe bus? Which x16 slot are you using?

Everything its normal in game, i checked by Riva tuner, the only thing that can be limiting my FPS is the low bandwidth, in some games it is normal but in Battlefield 1 my FPS stuck in 40
