Gigabyte fixes PCIe lanes issue on boards with GeForce RTX 50

Extra tests, Graphics, Motherboards | | Adam Vágner

Two weeks ago, we published an article about issues with PCIe 5.0 slot speeds on newer graphics cards in certain motherboards. After powering on the PC, the slot often failed to initialize correctly, causing graphics cards to start with fewer active lanes than expected. With the new GeForce RTX 5060 Ti, the card was booting in PCIe 5.0 x1 or x2 mode nearly every other time. Gigabyte investigated the issue and addressed it with the F5a BIOS update.

GeForce RTX 5060 Ti PCIe Lanes Problem: Do You Have This Issue?

Extra tests, Graphics | | Adam Vágner

While testing the GeForce RTX 5060 Ti, I encountered a recurring issue with active PCIe lanes. On PCIe 5.0 motherboards, the card often fails to run in x8 mode even in a x16 slot, starting instead in slower x1, x2, or x4 modes. The same behavior occurred across three RTX 5060 Ti models from MSI, Gainward, and Asus. The issue likely stems from how these motherboards handle compatibility with PCIe 5.0 graphics cards using eight lanes. Read more “GeForce RTX 5060 Ti PCIe Lanes Problem: Do You Have This Issue?” »
