Why does the software say that my graphics card works with PCI-E 1.0?

Does anyone understand?

can you run gpu-z instead of cpu-z and see what it says.

Sometimes on idle the pci-e bus will run at 1.1x to conserve power.
But if you run GPU-Z it will say something like PCIe x16 @ x16 1.1 meaning its in a 16x pci-e slot running at 16x but is powered down to 1.1 because its idle.

Power saving would be my first guess. Might adjust here and see what it affects.
