The only thing I'm trying to fathom at the moment is how much difference the whole PCI 3.0 vs 4.0 makes and related to that whether a Z-series board is required or one of the lesser Intel chipsets would suffice. |
Difference is not too much, but added to a bottle neck that already exists, plus power delivery, its pointless going above what you can max out, similarly with bikes, a good rider on a 600 will smash a 1000 ridden by a newbie. making use of everything is far better.
FWIW I just did a complete upgrade hence the old PC sitting there, but I spent more time researching the inner workings of the boards, CPU and GPU to work out the best value to power, but also the bottleneck to overkill. I think I've got it spot on right now as everything is peaking at what it suggests it should, but putting this card into my older rig (Ryzen 7600X in new, i9 9900K in old) I see nearly 40% less FPS. The CPU is also absolutely rammed while the GPU (4080) is chundering along at 50-60% tops, and drawing a chunk less power AND using far less lane capability due to PCIe 3.0, the second its in PCIe 4.0 its hitting the peak. |
