Welcome to HP support community.

 

We don't recommend using 3rd party apps to benchmark HP pcs, that said, the performance should remain the same whether is works on x8 or x16 as the slot in use is the x16 as per the image you've shared.

Modern graphics card comes with extensive power saving features, one of these functions reduces the PCI-e link speed & width to lower levels to conserve power when the card is idle, this is why you might see undesired values in GPU-Z's Bus interface readout.

 

The following is not recommended by HP, and are my personal suggestions to help you out:
Now, in the Bus Interface section you will see the maximum PCIe bus interface supported by the graphics card, and along its side, the one that it is currently working on. Below, you can see that the graphics card supports PCIe x16 3.0 but is working on PCIe x8 1.1 to save power, when the GPU is idle or the GPU load is minimum. Now, click on the question mark next to it. A new window will open along the side, on which there is Start Render Test button. Click on the Start Render Test button and this will start a GPU render test that will put your GPU usage to 99% or 100%.

 

Let me know how it goes.

To thank me for my efforts to help you, please mark my post as an accepted solution so that it benefits several others.

Cheers.
