That depends on your use case. If you edit high-resolution videos real-time, then maybe. If you use your PC for everyday things, like web browsing or casual gaming, then no.I have the 970 EVO and I just ordered the 990 PRO.
Do you think that I'm going to see any difference?

That can depend on your computing activities and expectations. OS performance is not going to be something you notice a difference in once you get a drive that can perform above 2000MBps. You will only notice the difference if you do a lot of file transfers or have a game that does the same. Even then the differences will be minimal. So the 970EVO vs the 990PRO? You're unlikely to "feel" or see much of a difference. EDIT: However, the 990PRO is a very solid drive, you will be happy with it and you can keep your 970EVO as a secondary drive.I have the 970 EVO and I just ordered the 990 PRO.
Do you think that I'm going to see any difference?
More or less the same here. The differences between performance SATA SSDs and solid NVMe SSDs are noticeable but not serious.I've never felt any difference between any of the SSDs I've had in the last 12 years. At least I think that any SSD is fine for normal usage.

Do you have an Optane?Things like legacy game loading time, windows boot up, desktop app usage, no noticeable difference.
Where you might notice a difference is if you hibernate the system (quick dump of all ram to system drive), media editing, (as in review legacy snapshot creation, note I say legacy, on something like ZFS snapshots are near instant even on a HDD), and direct storage games.
For most things once you at gen 3 NVME or even SATA, CPU probably is more important.
