Hey there, new to the group! I’m excited to be here and checking out those YouTube tutorials. For my upcoming PC build with an RTX 3080, should I opt for an AMD PCIe 4 setup or go with an Intel Z490 that’s already PCIe 4 compatible? Also, thinking about using a budget CPU until the next generation releases? Lastly, are there any LGA 2066 motherboards that support PCIe 4?

PCIe Gen 4 has little impact on performance, so it's not a major concern when choosing your new CPU.

Thanks! I'm focused on smoother performance with FPS above 200. I'm aiming for solid frame rates at 1440/4K up to 144Hz.

I noticed the same feeling too. I checked the existing throughput stats. NVMe speeds matter, but what I was aiming to secure was the Direct X I/O path from SSD straight to the graphics card without using RAM (the feature I saw mentioned). Maybe I wasn’t phrasing it right. Thanks for sharing!

No one has shared further details about that SSD Direct to Graphics technology.

I don't see io as something to worry about. The extra bandwidth really don't matter for most users. And rtx io is gonna be a while, I wouldn't be suprised if you get a new gpu before rtx io becomes common on games. Its not event out yet.

It will happen quickly once the games begin using it. The importance will depend on the PCIe version you own, likely taking a year or longer.
