Hi all,

I want to get the new RTX 3080 but have seen that it is PCIE 4.0. My motherboard as labelled above is PCIE 3.0. Will the new card work on my motherboard?

Secondly is it worth upgrading to a PCIE4.0 motherboard to get the benefits of the matching PCIE4.0 MB and GPU, and will I need to get one of the new 10th Gen CPU's or will my intel 9700k work with it?

Any help appreciated.

Thank you

Secondly is it worth upgrading to a PCIE4.0 motherboard (z490) to get the benefits of the matching PCIE4.0 MB and GPU, and will I need to get one of the new 10th Gen CPU's or will my intel 9700k work with it?

Any help appreciated.

Thank you
Z490 is still PCIe 3.0
