No, 24 PCI lanes aren't sufficient for an x2 M2 SSD, two 2080Ti graphics cards, and three SATA hard drives.

Varies by motherboard design. For typical X470 and x570 boards you'd get 4 lanes from the CPU for one NVMe drive, 4 from the chipset for another (though some ports might be turned off), and 8 for each 2080 Ti.

For gaming, a lot of PCI lanes are sufficient.

NVMe is also suitable for ASUS Crosshair VIII. It’s not intended for gaming, graphics, modeling, or rendering.

The main concern is that SSD, HDD, and other components linked to the chipset might interfere with each other when accessing data simultaneously.

Opt for a set of PCIe 4.0 x4 SSDs.

I wasn't aware of that. It seems I'll have to hold off until Samsung releases them.

Ignoring other options? They aren't just lower quality—they're flagship models that showcase the brand's strength.
