hey guys,
so hey guys,

i have a problem why does my MSI GTX 1080 gaming x not use pci 3.0 but 2.0?

its on a asus rampage iv xtreme motherboard with intel core i7 3930k?
and how do i fix it to let the gtx 1080 use 3.0 pci instead of 2.0


[Also Bad preformans because of pci 2.0?]
I have a question im a lil bit worryed about my GPU preformans.It uses some games 99% gpu usage and some other games 50% usage Forexample assetto corsa uses 99% usage
And i get 120 fps on resolution 1680x1050 Let Stand as soon I'm going to buy a 144hz monitor then i just get like 80 fps 1920x1080 while people on youtube play on 1440p and easly get above 100 fps.

With gta 5 for example it uses sometimes 70% gpu ussage en sometimes like 40/50% gpu usagge. Mostly i get like 60 fps with VYSNC OFF! normaly i must get about 150 fps with no vsync on and sometimes it drops down to 40 fps.Also same resolution as assetto corsa 1680x1050 not even HD i get bairly 60 fps and vysnc is just off also power preformans in nvidia control panel everything is like prefer max preformans etc. So i just dont understand whats wrong?

Today i also tested with firestrike benchmark, i dont know if it was ultra or xtreme because i have the demo version of it. but i can post it here

I got the latest nvidia driver!
