didnt help , so out of the box this laptop pcie gpu gtx 1050 should be running at load at pcie3.0 x16   and not 3.0x8 or is it just for marketing purposes  , does any1's HP omen pcie GPU run at 3.0 x16 under load ? 

gpuz says the gpu card is capable of 3.0 x16 but even under load it always stays ay 3.0 x8 , nothing in bios helps , 

how about a update driver from HP guys ?

i look forward to your reply

my laptop is out of warranty I sincerely believe that your laptop doesn't have enough pcie lanes to run the capable GPU gtx 1050 to run at x16 3.0 this will be my next pre requisite to purchase any laptop used or new , I am the second of owner of this laptop
