PCI-E Bug?

Hello all, I just noticed something weird on the bus interface section of the GPU-z app, I printed and attached. It says I'm running at x1? Shoudn't it be x16? I did the render test option there and nothing changes during the test. I was suspecting my GPU wasn't performing 100% since I'm not able to get 60 FPS on AC Black Flag for example. My rig is: i7 4790k - Asrock Z97 Fatality Killer - Zotac GTX 780 AMP! Edition.

 

Thank you!

 

 

EDIT:

 

Also, why isn't the Physx option selected? I'm almost 100% sure this GPU supports Physx, something must be wrong!

@EliteLaden Your GPU is idling. Plus ACBF is poop on PC when it comes to performance. PhysX i wouldn't worry about.

It probably isn't calling fir all the GPU power to be used. Which is totally fine. Just keep an eye on it anyway. http://www.techpowerup.com/gpuz/details.php?id=vha8b

My 660s have even stepped down to 1.1 speed since they are idle right now. When i bench/game they move to 2.0 speed and when needed will move to 3.0 speed.
