The first two slots are almost going directly to the CPU, but there's a switch inbetween. I'm not certain, but I would think if it's a pcie gen 3 switch it would limit cards to gen 3 speeds even if the CPU were capable of gen 4.

I only do 4k these days on a 4k 120Hz display. Gaming at 4k is always the priority but I do a lot of video encoding as a hobby as I film a lot of 4k video with my drones and gopros but my video editor uses the hardware nvidia encoder (Vegas...

See this is why there is no such thing as future proofing, lol. As soon as there's any single piece that's a viable upgrade you have to upgrade everything else to fully utilize it anyway. So do you guys think that I would be better off just...

Compared to a 10850k, any 11th gen would be a sidegrade, in terms of gaming performance. Games which favor IPC, do a little better on 11th gen. All that said, 11th gen and 10th gen both will bottleneck a 4090 anyway (Yes even at 4K). PCIe 3.0 is...

noticeable? Probably nothing. When 11th gen came out Steve at GN called the 11700k "a waste of sand" as it performed worse than the 10700k. ETA: Then, if you were playing games at 1440p or 4k, you very well might not be held back by the 10th...

I updated my bios to the most current one so I would need a 11th gen CPU for the PCI-E 4.0 support? The 4090 is my current max budget, but just in case, what would be an actual noticeable upgrade to my current 10850k that would fit my board?

The manufacturers website says PCI-E 3.0 but in CPU-Z it shows the graphics interface as 4.0? I'm just wondering about being able to run a RTX 4090 on this board. New mobo/cpu/ram isn't in the budget. I run everything at 4k.
