“will we need to upgrade the MotherBoard to PCIe 4? i have a crosshero vi with a PCIe 3 x 16”

• No need for PCIe4, PCIe3 will be fine. At the extreme end of overclocking at 8k there might be negligible difference of maybe 2% but at 4k we think now there won't be a difference.

• No you will not need to upgrade your motherboard from pcie 3.0 to a current gen 4.0 to use this card, however yes you will lose some performance they estimated roughly 2-4 percent in performance so it is very minimal

• You won't see a bottleneck in this instance until you go up to 4k settings. Even then, the difference between PCI-E 3.0 and 4.0 cannot be determined or even if this videocard will saturate the entirety of the bandwidth. In other words. No, you do not have to upgrade to PCI-E 4.0.

• The rtx 2080ti utilizes only 60% of available pcie 3.0 bandwidth. The person who said it using a 3.0 board with an ampere card will result in a 10-15% performance loss vs using pcie 4.0 is mistaken.

• No PCIe 4 is not required as would make no sense as intel does not yet even support pci4

• No, these cards are backwards compatible to PCIE 3.0. You may want to consider an upgrade in the future as the new ports allow faster data transfer giving the gpu a higher “maximum” setting.

• No, You don't need to upgrade your motherboard. All the new cards will be compatible with pcie 3.0. The only difference will be 10-15% performance gain if you use pcie 4.0 and this will also be valid in games coming up in late 2021. So you can upgrade your motherboard then.
