Updated PCIe Q version now available.
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.
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!
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.
Transitioned to CPU designs, motherboard configurations, and memory systems.
