PCIE Gen question

[realhevi]

Hi. So im building a new PC with a R5 5600 and an RTX 4060, which both support PCIE gen 4. The problem (i think) here is the MOBO is a B450 which supports only PCIE Gen3 - will this hinder the 4060 performance much or no? + there will be an PCIE gen 4 M.2, will that have any effect or any other way be slower because of the Gen3 mobo?

 

Thank you in advance!!!

no, it's a 4060, its already slow enough it wont matter. 
if you want to yolo it you can mod the bios to enable pci-e 4

What do you mean slow enough? The 4060 is a good gpu for the 5600

ehhhh

in terms of draw calls yes. 

in terms of when(not if) it overflows vram, no.

For a card like the 4060, it mostly matters when exceeding the VRAM, but in that case, you're going to get bad performance either way. It would just be a bit less bad when using PCIe Gen 4.

Bad performance either way? So your telling me the 4060 is a bad idea? Im getting for 200€ almost new + the benchmarks are not looking bad.

I meant that if you exceed the VRAM of the card, you'll get bad performance regardless of the PCIe generation support on your motherboard. Not that the 4060 in general is a bad card.

 

For 200€, it's reasonable. It's capable of getting playable performance in pretty much any game. The only thing is that you'll have to turn down settings in some games.
