Upgrading for the future with Ryzen processors
Upgrading for the future with Ryzen processors
I was also planning to mention that in a separate thread, but I can't locate the exact bandwidth for PCIe 3.0. The latest 3000 RTX cards are expected to approach the maximum PCIe 3.0 x16 speed of about 18gb/s. Likely, PCIe 3.0 x16 delivers around 20gb/s. Still, I believe upgrading to PCIe 4.0 will become necessary soon, as even Intel is moving toward it.
Next generation Intel won't be version 4.0. From forum discussions, it seems the 3080 Ti may not fully utilize PCIe 3.0 because the 2080 Ti only partially uses it. The 3080 Ti would need to be significantly more powerful than the 2080 Ti for that, which would be unexpected. PCIe 4.0 is mainly beneficial for SSDs.
The only chip we've seen is an amphore version with limited details about the a-100. It seems they significantly boosted the machine learning part of RXT. Maybe an app that combined both RXT and non-RXT sections could reach PCIe 3 saturation, but I don’t know what would do that.
