It is a PCI-E 4 card IIRC.

Reading into Tech Specs and comparing:

The RTX 3050 only supports upto PCIe 4.0 as mentioned by Rokin.

The Motherboard has a single PCIe 5.0 slot but for a compatible GPU.

There are no cards to EXCLUSIVELY support PCIe 5.0 mode currently but, the 4090 for example can use that lane for power, but run in PCIe 4.0 mode only
