Downgrades the lanes used to be PCIe4. a PCIe4x16 card will not look like a PCIe5x8 in a PCIe5 slot. In essence, that doubled bandwidth for those 16 lanes is lost, thus why more lanes would be great! To answer the question though, a 3080Ti put into a PCIe5x4 slot will be in essence a PCIe4x4...

You're definitely pointed in the right direction. I, personally like having the cores (my 5900 I just got is AMAZING). Cap the cores at 12 like you suggest and open up the PCIe lanes. Win/Win!

Yeah.. Remember the heat that is pumped out by PCI4 drives? PICE5 drives could probably power a steam generator!

For me, the fix was to nuke all my cookies from this place, and start from a clean slate. All good for now. I can login once again and lurk away! Thank you David for all your help!

Hi folks, From both my home and work computers I cannot log into the forums. I am able to login though on my phone (thus why I can post this). Just a heads up for David and staff. - Rob

Not sure if that'd be possible. the CPU is expecting to run on PCIe 5.0. Even the CPU Lanes would be running out of spec. Mind you, PCIe4 is probably more than enough for current day needs, but I don't see them supporting it.

From what I've read so far, the "E" or "Extreme" chipset will come with 2 PCIe5x16 slots. Don't know how they're gonna manage that considering there are only 24 PCIe 5.0 lanes coming off the CPU..

AM4 was a great platform... Let it retire a happy little clam. AM5 is where they need to be focusing, bringing the same level of commitment they did with AM4 to the AM5 platform!!

My apologies. I do not have any Organic LED screens. Missed that in my initial read.. :(

I've got monitors from LG, Dell and BenQ. The LG is the latest one I've got (LG 27UL500-W), and the Dell and BenQ are older monitors. My TV's are all older VIZIO TV's. I haven't bought a new TV in like, 5 years..

All my VIZIO TV's have yet to experience any screen burn. My monitors too, nothing. I'm sure it can happen but not to me yet..

From your written word to God's ears! I pray this is what happens!

I too play and I too use in-game money to pay for my time currently. How much longer that will hold up? About another 12 months or so and then I'll decide what to do next.

I'm running the 5800x on my X470 at work. Thing is a beast. Just purchased the 5900X for my home setup. We'll see how well that goes. :)

Yep... That's what they've come down to..

Pulled the trigger on a $394 5900X. That'll be my last AM4 purchase for a while until the AM5 platform becomes available and has a chance to mature a bit. Either that or my next step would be to an Intel board but I don't see that happening with Alder Lake at this time.

Those old chips still pack enough punch to play games.. My son has my old 4970 that is still kicking and screaming as his main rig.

The Raspberry Pi 4 suggestion is a great one, and a perfect use for the Pi's...

LOL.. You get the same effect if you capture OBS inside of itself...

I too have gone the route of PFSense and UnifiAPs for my solution. I have both PFSense and the UniFi Controller running on a miniPC that's running ESXi as the host OS.
