“On the image on this listing, it shows the top PCIe x16 slot at PCIE 5 Ready, but I believe that is deliberate obfuscation. That slot is only PCIe 4.0 capable and it isn't clarified in the Specs section either. Has anyone heard otherwise?”

You are absolutely correct Gigabyte X670 AORUS ELITE AX (Socket AM5) the top PCIe x16 slot is a PCIe 4.0 slot. But I doubt it really matters AMD has confirmed that its next-gen Radeon RX 7000 series "RDNA 3" graphics card will NOT be using the new PCIe Gen5 "12VHPWR" power connector... which is something we kinda knew already, but now 100% confirmed from AMD themselves. Oct 25, 2022 and Nvidia 4000 series GPU's only support PCIe 4.0 So no matter what you see listed Keep in mind there must be a 6 pin power connector on a Motherboard that will be strictly for powering PCIe Gen 5.0 GPU's or any other Gen 5.0 devices. Bottom line = "Forget About It at least for the next 2 generations or about 4 to 5 years for GPU's
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You would need X670-E Board for PCIE 5.0 expansion other than storage. All AMD 7000 Desktop chips have Pcie-5.0 built into the chips, including iGPUs & DDR5. Next Gen AMD GPUs will use PCIE 5.0 because the standard is changing.
