3080 & Pcie 3.o

[mcloude]

was wondering if the 3080 would be bottlenecked on pcie 3.0 x8 since i have 2 nvme’s running in the dimm.2 slot

3.0 8x? Yes, the 2080Ti is already slightly bottlenecked by that, and the 3080 is supposed to be faster.

Tangible might be an overstatement lol.

one way to know for sure for the new cards is benchmarks -shrug-

Not in a noticeable manner, wait for reviews.

 

I should create a macro for that

This happens every release cycle (especially with Nvidia since they've got so much more market cap)

 

But yeah, wait for reviews.

i was just wondering cause of the 3080 using rtx io and the nvme already on the pcie lane if it would make much of a difference. thank you for your reply

You're going to want all 16 lanes for the 30-series cards. We've yet to see if PCIe 4.0 matters or not, but it's definitely going to saturate 16x.
