Will PCI 2.0 bottleneck my GPU?

[Daniel_1104]

Hi so my PCI 3.0 slot stopped working today and my other slot is a PCI 2.0. Will this bottleneck my RTX 3070?

What do you mean it "stopped working"?
And which motherboard and CPU?

yes, that like a PCIe 4.0 4slot

way to less bandwith for something dezent

I have an i7 3770k and an Asus P8Z77-V LX. 

 

So my PC was working fine and I turned it off and it was powering on but I had no display output. The fans etc were spinning and my Kraken Z73 has a display on the pump and gives me temps from my GPU and CPU and it was displaying my GPU as 0c and from that I knew the GPU was having an issue. Tried everything PSU different cable, nothing worked until I changed the PCI slot and it gave me a video output. So I assumed there must be an issue with the PCI 3.0 slot as it’s a fairly old mobo at this point

it should be maybe okay if your not running 4k textures lol

The second PCIE_X16 slot on the Asus P8Z77-V LX is only wired as a X4 slot, so the GPU will only have PCIe 2.0 x4 available to it. That is definitely a bottleneck for a RTX 3070.

But there is nothing else you can do, can you? Just run it in that slot until you can get a new motherboard.

Yeah not much else I can do, been waiting in the pre order line since launch for my stupid Ryzen 5900x to arrive. 

 

Thanks for looking to it
