[SOLVED] Will rtx 30 series need PCIE 4.0

[Sauce109]

I just bought a b450 motherboard since I didn't really want to pay more for a b550 or x570 board. I am wondering if the next RTX series will need PCIE 4.0. From my research it looks like it probably won't and also I would only get something like an rtx 3070 or 3060 super.

Almost certainly no. The 2080 Ti isnt even close to saturating 3.0 x16 bandwidth. At most, the 3070 will perform similarly and need similar bandwidth to the 2080 Ti, although more likely it will perform worse.
