Download GPU-Z and make sure the video card is running @ X16 speed.
It will be where it says Bus Interface it should look something like this.
PCI-E 2.0 × 16 @ 16 2.0 and not like this PCI-E 2.0 X 16 @ 4 2.0 If it says anything but @16 click the ? for the short test and see if it goes up.

Are you sure this is right PCI-E 3.0×16@16 1.1
If so the 1.1 only has 1/2 the bandwith as the 2.0 that any motherboard that is not really old should have. Did you buy the PC used if so what motherboard and i5 model do you have.

When you clicked on the ? did the speed change on the bus interface where it said
PCI-E 3.0×16@16 1.1 did the last 2 numbers change to 3.0 from 1.1?

OK lets look at the other end, download CPU-Z and look where it says core speed this should be throttled down then go up to full speed when you play the game.

CPU-Z is for the processor not the video card it should do the same thing go up to normal speed when the game is running.

Open the side of the PC I bet the fan is not running on the processor cooler
The temps are way to high throttling the speed to keep from killing the processor

Turn the PC off and take the side panel off then turn the pc back on and make sure this fan is running but do not touch anything inside the case it will be the big thing in the center of the case looks like this.

If the fan is running the only one we care about is the big one on the processor cooler.
Thats bad nothing I can do to fix this over the net
Probable cause no thermal paste was used when the PC was built.
Just a few options return it for repairs or take it to a PC shop, get a PC savey friend to fix it. The fan would seem week compaired to the rest because it only has a 800 to 1200 RPM range. I found the problem sorry nothing I can do over the net to help.
I would advise not to use the PC till it’s repaired.
Be sure to tell them that the Processor is overheating and tell them what the temerature was.

Now you can go off on them be sure to tell them the temps of the processor or send them the pic and tell them that a guy you never met took the time to find the problem on a website fourms lol.

EDIT I hate people that build a PC and do not do a burn test.

All their fault. If they try to say different give a link to this and they will see the only things that were done was basic trouble shooting.
