Will PCIE 5.0 be worth it?

Want to use current GPU on next gen motherboards even though they have am5 and wasn't sure if there will be any problems.

Considering that even Intel hadn't use 4.0... yet... I think 5.0 will come around in about 4 to 5 years or so.

How should anyone know, when PCIe 5.0 isn't out and isn't going to be out for a while longer?

PCIe - bus is backwards-compatible. You can put a PCIe 1.0 - device in a PCIe 4.0 - bus and it'll work just fine.

I don't think that late, pcie gen 6 is ready, it'll only take a year or 2 for gen 5 to be used, maybe zen 4/5 and alder-lake and what's beyond that

it honestly depends what gpu youre using considering the bandwith difference between most pcie gens if you have the best next gen gpu and use it to its fullest its gonna be much faster.  Thats why theyre making the new generations because as gpus get faster and process more data at a given time you need more bandwidth to make sure youre not bottlenecked.   but if you mean should you upgrade to a pcie 4.0 motherboard because youre getting a 30 series card you dont need to as you can see here https://www.extremetech.com/gaming/314627-nvidia-ampere-rtx-gpu-pcie#:~:text=You might also be happy,slots wouldn't cut it.

For consumers at least, PCIe ver 5 isn't needed at all. Come to think of it, neither is PCIe ver 4. Now that said: A Supercomputer(s) might be able to benefit from the newest PCIe Generations if they are not using something else already.

true, even if you have the most powerful 3090 you dont need pcie 4.0

Even with new direct storage technologies you still will not saturate a x16 PCIe 4.0 link. PCIe 4.0 can roughly do something like 30-32GB/s in each direction in which case the actual memory allocations and data object creation will take more time then the data transfer will take even when using an API like Vulkan or D3D12 where you're approaching zero driver overhead. So every frame or so at 60FPs you could theoretically move 0.5GB of data to the GPU. Not including any latencies due to CPU - GPU synchronization.

yeah  cool, I'm hoping to get a 6800 XT but I'm new and was wondering if it would work with next gen motherboards (X670 and B650) but now i know that PCIe 5 will be maybe two years. Thanks

This, and your previous posts, don't make much sense in the context they're being asked.

 

Why are you asking about technology that won't be out for another 5 years?

I haven't read anything recent about AM5, at least not from AMD anyway. It would make more sense for AMD to use DDR5 for EPYC first anyway.

Considering that it isn't even out in data centers and such afaik, and Intel is laughing themselves to literal death, I'd say ask the question in about 5 years

Either @piratemonkey or quote me when responding to me. I won't see otherwise

Only for the CPU-PCH interconnect. The more bandwidth there, the more useful lanes of the PCH are.

I don't think that Data Centers use Consumer level Sockets and CPUs at all.

It is so far ahead now they should standardize GPU at 8x and give you the rest for I/O (keeping the same lanes).

We are getting to the point where speed or throughout isn’t the main benefit of some standards (others it will be for a few generations still). Instead it’s the features and other capabilities that are the highlights. 
 

What does 5 have over 4 and 3 on that front?

The problem is how limited the lanes are.  At one time I had a 2950x just to get more lanes but when it died I settled and found more creative ways around the issue since the zen2 price went way up.  Like having a hotswap NVME x4 bay.  We also have things like USB 4.0 which is specked at 40Gbit.

I was talking generally about pcie5. Data centres (and other professional server type things) have access to new stuff way before consumers. So afaik they've been using pcie4 for a long time now

That didn’t really answer my question, you are not wrong but I think that response better fits someone else’s point.

For the mainstream and for gamers, it wouldn't be worth it.

Our GPUs don't max out PCIe 3.0 speeds, much less PCIe 4.0.

 

Could be worth it for very, VERY high speed raid0 storage and server stuff... But that's about it.
