should i be concerned?
Options
so i replaced my i7-8700 with an i9-9900k and upgraded my PSU to 850w so i can use the 3080 to its fullest, and i needed to know, i have a PCIe 3.0 motherboard, but should I be concerned because it's going to be running x16 anyways because I don't have anything else using bandwidth? to my knowledge at least

Hello @graysonheadley There should be no difference in performance between PCIe 3.0 and PCIe 4.0 for your GPU.Here's a helpful review with details on this!The GPU doesn't take up the full bandwidth of PCIe 3.0, and the PCIe 4.0 on the GPU is backward compatible.Hope this helps! Please let me know if you have more questions!
