What does PCI 5.0 mean? null

PCIE 5.0 is the newest available bus standard for PCI Express. PCIe 5.0 x16 slot can provide up to 128 GB/s of bandwidth, which is double the bandwidth of a PCIe 4.0 x16 slot. Since the 9070XT supports 5.0, you will get greater effective performance on a motherboard that has a 5.0 compatible x16 slot. You can still use the card on an older system with a 4.0 or 3.0 x16 slot, however you will be leaving some performance untapped.
