[manoj327]

Hi tom'sHARDWARE,

I use my PC for Gaming and Accounting purpose. my current PC configuration is as follows.
Processor - i5 3rd gen 3550,
mother board- P8-Z77-VLX
ram - corsair vengeance DDR3 2X8GB
Gpu- NVIDIA Asus GTX 1070 OC
psu - 850w

I think my processor is bottle-necking my gpu in gaming so i want to change it, correct me if i am wrong.

i am planning to take ryzen 7 3700x, because it support x570 chip motherboad and it has pcie 4.0 slot in it. i usually change my pc in every 5 years so if i buy now it should be feature proof, at least the motherboad.

1) how long it will take for GPU to use PCIE 4.0 slot in feature?
2) PCIE 5.0 is on the way, will it outrun PCIE 4.0 in next year like 2020?
3) IS it good to buy 4.0 motherboard right now. if i buy now, how long it will last?
4) In 2020 will their be any motherboad releasing which support DDR5 RAM and PCIE 5.0 both. if yes, will it support both Intel and AMD processors?

Pls help
Regards,
manoj327.

It will take brand new GPU generation to even have PCIe 4 compatibility and to double PCIe 3 bandwidth much longer, that would make some lulu of a GPU.
As far as I know only Navi GPUs from AMD are v4 compatible and it didn't bring them anything.
