Question Does populating all the M.2 slots on a Gigabyte x570 Aorus Master affect GPU performance ?

Hello everyone, i have a gigabyte x570 aorus master motherboard and I'm using all the m.2 slots.
In the first slot (from top to bottom) is a Samsung 970 evo plus (OS) second is a Kingston A2000 1 tb for games and third is also a Kingston A2000 1 tb for storage.
All of the are gen 3 nvme ssd's.
Right now I have an rtx 3070 and soon will upgrade to a 4090. I have no other sata ssd, or soundcard or anything else on the motherboard. Just the 3 m.2 nvme's and the gpu.
So my question is , does the fact that I'm using all the m.2 slots affect GPU performance ?

No.
M.2 slots o your motherboard do not impact PCIE slot operation.

NVME M.2 drive in M2_C_Socket (lower M.2 slot) will disable sata ports SATA3_4, SATA3_5 though.

Thank you for the answer, i was aware that by using NVME M.2 drive in M2_C_Socket disables 2 sata ports, i just wasn't sure about GPU side of things.
