I can't imagine this GPU is anywhere powerful enough to be limited by PCIE 4.0. Even top of the line GPU's only lose a couple of frames per second. Don't worry about it.

Gamer's Nexus did a video comparison and it was only a 1% loss in frames for the PCIE4.0

Does anyone have first hand experience on the performance hit, if any, when installed on a PCIE 4.0 motherboard vs a 5.0 one?

I have with a similar model (Sapphire Pulse). no difference at all.

To clarify, my mobo has PCIE 5.0 but I'm currently using a PCI 4.0 riser cable, so the mibo is set to 4.0 as well.

I'm getting a new case, so considering rise cables (which are mostly PCIE 4.0) - from reading way too many articles on this, the 9060 and 9070 would see no difference from PCIE 4.0 vs 5.0. Even at a theoretical level, neither would exceed the bandwidth of PCIE 4.0.

Another interesting question is if it's worth an upgrade from the 6700 XT. Seems it's only a slightly improvement, but also not a huge price difference (I can sell my 6700 XT for $250 or so). Probably not worth the incremental benefit though.

Exactly. At most it will be 1-2% loss on PCIe-4.0 for most games

PCI-Express 4.0 vs 5.0 really only makes a difference when you exceed the VRAM. More of a factor with 8GB cards. But either way, it's a bad experience and you should avoid exceeding any card's VRAM regardless.

the biggest difference would be with the 16GB of RAM vs 12GB. The other noticeable difference is the lower power draw of this card. I think the Ray tracing of this card is probably an upgrade as well(personally have no interest in RT)

I think the biggest difference would be access to modern features like fsr4 and the future redstone update. If you hang on to your card, the resell value may go down as more fsr4 cards become more accessible. Just a thought, no one knows how things are going in this market.

Decent deal. Good card. 16 GB. Modest power requirements. No coil whine.

Been using this card for the past week, guess I'll price guard. Plays well (guarding 165Hz) at 1440p for all the games I play even in pure raster, and some heavier titles do well with a bit of upscaling.
