PCI-E 2.0, not NVME 2.0AM4 platform doesn't support NVMe 2.0 standard, only up to 1.4, I believe.
It is that simple.
Bifurcation of x16 to x8x8 leaves eight lanes of whatever generation for any device to try to use it.
As no commercial device supports Gen5 speeds, slotting Gen4 device into Gen5 M.2 or PCIe slot will work as Gen4 device.
Eight Gen5 lanes left for GPU in x16 slot after bifurcation will work as Gen4 x8.
PCI-E 5.0 slots can run at 1,1/2/3/4/5 at x1/x2/x4/8/x16
I wanted to check that a PCI-E 2.0 NVME drive in that 5.0 slot wouldnt lock a GPU to 2.0 x8
