PCIe 5.0

[Blasty Blosty]

I am in the market for a new motherboard with an upcoming pc upgrade, is it worth it to consider PCIe 5 yet?? In some games there is a decent jump from PCIe 3 to 4, so I am wondering if it is more worthwhile spending extra on a good motherboard now to save me buying another later down the line. Or will it be absolutely ages before PCIe 5 GPU's even reach the market?

no

that's mostly for budget gpus where the bus lane is quite small and at that point, there might be from pcie 4 to pcie 5. But if you're getting pcie 5 for a budget gpu I'd rather put that to a better gpu

They might implement it in 50 series, there have been rumours, but AFAIK it's not known

So basically it doesn't matter for now? I'll just get the best board I can regardless of PCIe gen.

Even if they do, it's unlikely that it is going to give any benefits, unless they push out low end GPUs with 2 lanes or something.

 

PCIe 4.0 really only makes a difference on low end GPUs with 4 lanes (e.g. RX 6400/6500 XT) and little to no difference on GPUs with 8 lanes (e.g. RX 6600).

 

For GPUs with 16 lanes theres basically no difference between Gen 3 and Gen 4.

Yeah as expected, thanks for the answer

no! considering PCIe 5.0 for your upcoming PC upgrade is mostly not yet worth it for most users

Yeah, maybe for my pc after this but that is a good few years away
