But unless playing at lower monitor resolutions and aiming for the highest refresh rates the differences may be fairly minor and not worth thinking to hard about.
Nvidia rtx 2080 ti pcie lanes. I am running an asus gene 390 which forces me to run my 2 970 pro m 2 drives on the board because if i wanted to use the recent dimm 2 slot that comes with the mobo those run off the cpu pci e and would force my 2080 ti into x8 mode instead of x16 whereas the m 2 slots on the board that i am using for my raid configuration run off of the z390 chipset pci e lanes and thus have no effect on my. Today we re benchmarking the rtx 2080 ti with nvlink two way including tests for pcie 3 0 bandwidth limitations when using x16 x8 or x8 x8 vs. Techpowerup has done reviews on pcie bandwidth over the years.

In this review we are taking the fastest graphics card from nvidia the geforce rtx 2080 ti founders edition and test it across pci express 3 0 x16 the most common configuration for single gpu builds pci express 3 0 x8 bandwidth comparable to pci express 2 0 x16 pci express 3 0 x4 comparable to pci express 2 0 x8 and for purely academic reasons pci express 2 0 x4 what would happen. We are happy to report that the rtx 2080 ti is finally able to overwhelm pcie gen 3 0 x8 posting a small but tangible 2 3 performance gain when going from gen 3 0 x8 to gen 3 0 x16 across resolutions. Pci express 4 0 is a nice addition for the rtx 3070 but since the rtx 2080 ti didn t saturate a 16x pci express 3 0 slot it won t amount to much more than helping to free up lanes on.
