1. This configuration allows 375 W total (1 × 75 W + 2 × 150 W) and will likely be standardized by PCI-SIG with the PCI Express 4.0 standard. The 8-pin PCI Express connector could be confused with the EPS12V connector, which is mainly used for powering SMP and multi-core systems.
2. PCI Express 4.0 PCI-SIG continues its solid reputation of delivering low cost, high-performance, low-power specifications for multiple applications and markets. O PCI Express 4.0 Specification –(16GT/S). Finalized and published October 2017. Includes new performance enhancements. Maintains position as the interconnect of choice for.

The biggest change is that PCIe 4.0 doubles 3.0’s transfer rate of 8 GT/s (gigatransfers per second) and 8Gb/s of link bandwidth per lane to 16 GT/s and 16 Gb/s link BW, which gives a total. At around the same time as PCIe 4.0 should hit the mainstream PC gaming market in 2021, we should also see PCIe 6.0 specifications finalised, according to the PCI-SIG. This standard is designed. O Changed PCIe to PCI Express when discussing the PCI Express specification. O Cleaned up drawings in Figure 1-1 o Swapped order of section 1.3 and 1.4 and edited text o Fixed missing references. O Added signal switches suggestions for SATA and USB 3.0 March 21, 2011 Version 2.01.

Sometime ago I helped my relative upgrade his CPU, Motherboard and RAM with Zen 3 in mind and would hate to realise if limitations apply for other impending upgrades. My relative currently has the MSI MPG B550 GAMING PLUS board which lists the following specification for PCIe 4.0.

• 1x PCIe 4.0/ 3.0 x16 slot (PCI_E1) 1
• 1x PCIe 3.0 x16 slot (PCI_E3), supports x4 speed 2
• 2x PCIe 3.0 x1 slots

1. The supported specification depends on installed processor.
2. When installing PCIe SSD in M.2_2, PCI_E3 slot will be unavailable.

Does this mean the graphics card slot 100% supports PCIe 4.0 out of the box?
In reference to 'supported specification depends on installed processor' .... is the Ryzen 3600 fine for 4.0? (not a huge concern, as he's looking to upgrade to a 8-core Zen 3 processor later)
If 20GB VRAM variants (3080) come into existence, are these cards more likely to benefit from 4.0 scaling? The 10GB variant doesn't see much benefit as seen in one of TPUs excellent reviews https://www.techpowerup.com/review/nvidia-geforce-rtx-3080-pci-express-scaling/ hence wondering whether more VRAM means 'considerably' more PCIe bandwidth consumption?
-------------------
Not sure if the following will help but here's his current build and what he's looking to upgrade:
CURRENT:
CPU: 3600
MOBO: MSI MPG B550 GAMING PLUS
RAM: 16GB (2x8) 3600/16
GPU: older GTX 1070
PSU: older 550W unit
Displays: older 1080p 75hz panel + 1080p 60hz
