GPU-Z Render Test won't start

[FunkyFondue]

Hello fellow PC enthusiast,

I just reinstalled my PC to Windows 11, did every Driver Update and such, then wanted to check how everything is working with CPU-Z and GPU-Z. On the CPU front everything works fine, but the GPU-Z showed that my 5700xt is running with x8 Lanes on my PCIe 3.0 (I have a b450 Tomahawk Max). I wanted to start the Render test to confirm this but couldn't (screenshot is provided), I installed the missing files, then the same pop-up. I uninstalled the program and the reinstalled it, nothing, the same pop-up shows up. I wanted to check my BIOS settings as well but I am not sure what to look for there. Can someone tell me if I can check this some other way, or fix the Render test. Because if the GPU utilizes only the x8 Lanes I would like to change that to x16 lol.

Thank you for your time!

Can you confirm D3DX9_43.dll exists in C:\Windows\System32

If it doesn't, try running dxwebsetup.exe as administrator.
