I just bought a 3080 and set it up in my rig. It's performing well, but I'm wondering if switching from an MSI B450 Gaming Plus Max to a B550 would really boost the performance.

As long as you are using a 16 lane slot, and not an 8x slot, pcie gen 3 is enough.
B550 offers gen 4 16x slots, but that really doesn't matter just yet.
For the 3090 you could make the argument, but not for the 3080.
