Acer 5 Nitro AN515-45-R9RJ Graphic Link Interface

NaRa85

Bought this laptop 2 weeks ago and I noticed the Graphic Link Interface always run at 8x. Setting is "Maximum Performance under AC". Is there any setting need to adjust back to 16x?

Thanks.

I don't think there is anything you can do to change it as it's the physical links connected to the CPU, between x8 and x16 for pcie gen 4 will make no difference though, pcie3 x16 is the same as pcie4 x8 bandwidth wise, and even a 3080 wouldn't be effected

Guess I can't do much and have to stick with it. Thanks for the input.
