Motherboard Recommendation PCI-E 4.0

[Schada]

Hello all,

 

About a year ago I purchased and built my own new gaming PC.  The main components I got were the AMD Ryzen 5 3600x, MSI B450 Gaming Plus MAX, GTX 1050 TI, 16GB (3200 MHz) RAM, and LG 27GL850 (1440p, 144Hz).  Now that RTX 3000s is out, I got my eye on either the 3060 or 3060 TI.  Knowing that both of those cards are PCI-E 4.0 and my motherboard is 3.0, is a new motherboard worth it?

 

Thanks for your input.

You're fine with the motherboard you currently have.

Even the 3080 barely saturates the bandwidth PCIe 3.0 can offer, if at all.

1-2% difference, you literally won't even know if not monitoring fps

Thanks, I appreciate it!
