My board is a Asus X570 Formula VIII im running BIOS 1001
I have a Nvidia 2070 Super
When i go into the BIOS under Advanced>OnBoard Device configuration PCIEX16_2 bandwidth shows as X8 Mode (the other option is Auto)
Under Tool > Graphics Card information > GPU Post
It shows Slot : PCIEX16_2 as "Running at x8 Native" - it also says "install the GPU in PCIEX16_1 or PCIEX16_2"
my GPU is installed in slot 2 (PCIEX16_2)
Both Slot 1 & slot 2 i presume can support x16, hence their naming PCIEX16!
Why is my GPU only running at x8, its directly plugged into the motherboard.

Most motherboards only have x8 PCE-X16 slots for slot two. There are not enough PCI-E lanes on Ryzen CPU's to support more than one GPU running at x16. Most Threadripper parts do have enough PCI-E lanes to run both slots at x16/x16 but those boards and CPU's also cost a little more.
