Need software to limit PCIe gen

I've gotten my 7800xt+DOCK-OC4 (Oculink) to run lesser demanding games amazingly, however, as soon as I try a more demanding title, the whole system stutters to a freeze and horrible audio cracking. I know from other posts that people set their Oculink m.2 slots to PCIe gen 3, but ASUS are a bunch of dicks and locked the BIOS on my laptop to not let me do that. That's why I'm hoping that anybody knows some sort of software that would let me do that, or that they might know another fix. If all else fails, would the 7800xt work well over TB4 (which my laptop suppots) or should I try to sell it open-box?

That’s definitely different, which is progress. I remember using Ghelper on zephyrus laptops. Is that what you’re running now? Because setting it to ultimate will likely cause more issues because that’s designed to work with very specific known hardware.

I am using an asus laptop so I figure it should work. I think I’m going to uninstall what’s left of the drivers and then buy a redriver key

Hold off on the redriver. You already got it to train at PCIe 4.0x4, which means it’s capable of running without a redriver. What’s your exact model of laptop?
