All of AMD and Nvidia’s latest GPUs use the PCIe Gen 5 interface, but that doesn’t mean you need a PCIe Gen 5 motherboard to run them. You do need to keep an eye on the number of lanes, though. If your motherboard has a 16x PCIe Gen 4 slot, you’ll still have more than enough bandwidth to run any 16x PCIe Gen 5 GPU up to and including the RTX 5080, and even an RTX 5090 will run at full speed for the most part. If you only have PCIe Gen 3, however, there will be a performance drop off, particularly with cards at the cheaper end of the scale, as a lot of these GPUs use fewer PCIe lanes than their
