Open your motherboard manual and read it
Sorry but that's not useful/helpful
I of course did that before
At this point I only have my 3080 in the pc and two regular sata drives, I took all the nvme out tried a few bios settings too
In any case gpuz reports 4x even during the render test

Try with one NVMe drive.
Edit: My board supports 5 M.2 drives, if I use them all I lose one PCIe slot and 1 or 2 sata.
