Your setup includes multiple components connected via different interfaces. The NVMe M.2 drive and PCIe Wi-Fi card likely use separate PCIe lanes, while the full-size PCIe slot for your graphics card shares its lane pool with other devices. This means bandwidth isn't necessarily limited to a single pool, but depends on how the system manages traffic. Using an NVMe drive and Wi-Fi card can affect overall performance, but it doesn't inherently restrict GPU bandwidth unless overloaded.

The M.2* and PCI-E x16 ports provide exclusive CPU lanes. Remaining devices interact via the chipset. *Note: If an NVMe drive is present, a SATA drive will use the chipset.*

Confirming your points: the M.2 would feature four dedicated lanes, and the PCIe slot retains its full capacity of 16 lanes for graphics cards.

There are 24 tracks exiting the 1200, with 16 dedicated to the GPU and 4 for an M.2 slot.

They discussed how Ampere cards might affect PCIe 3.0 performance and noted that using an M.2 drive could further reduce available bandwidth.

Wait for ampere to actually launch and check, we don't know but x16 gen 3 should be fine for even a 3090 but again, wait for ampere to actually launch and check.

Watching the video made me consider switching my OS to a Sata SSD to save bandwidth for the graphics card. However, everyone mentioned that M.2 slots and graphics cards each have their own lane allocation.
