I purchased the i9-10980XE and am searching for a compatible motherboard. I’m wondering if PCIE 3.0 boards used by the X299 chipset support the 3070 chipset, and if so, will performance drop or become limited? Thanks ahead.

PCIe iterations typically support both backward and forward compatibility.

PCIe 3 should work without issues.

It would be difficult to locate a current motherboard and graphics card that function properly together. PCIe offers a lot of adaptability. System performance remains unaffected.

Will it function identically to a PCIe 4.0 device?

Sure, the additional bandwidth hasn't affected performance yet.
