radeon 5700xt Will the 5700XT benifit from pcie4.0

[Zefster]

I have a radeon 5700XT and am looking for a motherboard to pair with the 3rd gen ryzen processor i've also upgraded to. I was wondering if the PCIe 4.0 will make any performance difference or if I can just get a X470 board rather than waiting for more  mini itx x570 ones

Unless your going to use PCIe 4.0 NVME storage you will see no difference. Graphics cards don't ever saturate the bandwidth of PCIe 3.0 yet.

pcie 3.0 has more than enough bandwidth for all current gpus, so it won't really benefit gpu performance. you could go with a x470 platform but you will need to flash the bios to use ryzen 3000 on it. & in order to flash the bios, you need a ryzen 1000 or 2000 cpu.

 

if you don't have an earlier ryzen cpu, some electronics retailers can flash the bios for you at a small fee

I think it will make an difference. How big I don't know. It hasn't been tested yet (I think) X470 doesn't have pci 4.0. if you already invested in an R 3000 series CPU and an 5700xt just buy x570 instead

Some boards have a bios flashback feature, like the b450 tomahawk.

I have a Ryzen 1 CPU that I can use for that anyway.

Thanks for the help

Please explain how you think it will.  Seeing as only the 2080Ti can saturate the PCIe 3 x8 pipe... 

 

PCIe Gen 4 isn't faster, it's just more bandwidth.  Data won't go from the GPU to the CPU and vice versa any faster on an X570 over a B450, for example.

It would be my guess. If it is faster or not we will see. I am interested in the benchmarks though
