Does PCIe 3.0 x4 kills my RTX 4060ti performance?

[jakö]

In short I bought my pc 3~4 years ago, and at that time I just got a entry level kit to upgrade later on (it was a Ryzen 3 with a RX 570). Today Im using a ryzen 5600 and a RTX 4060ti but Im still using the same cheap a520 motherboard (this one: https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/A520M-H-rev-1x#kf) is this a big deal? Im not really having performance problems, most games I can run just fine but I saw in the 4060ti specs that the GPU supports PCIe 4.0 x8, but I dont know if the performance impact is big enough for me to buy a new motherboard, what do you guys think about this? Should I upgrade, if yes any suggestions?

Your board has x16 slot and I doubt that running it at 3.0 x8 impacts performance. Hell, it didn't do much even with my RTX 3080.

"1 x PCI Express x16 slot, supporting PCIe 3.0 and running at x16"

Zero loss at 8x PCIe 4.0 for your GPU

This is fine.

OP has an A520 board so it's PCIe 3.0.

8x PCIe 3.0 might take small hit, but it's a 4060Ti, so RTX 3070 perf, so it will be really small if any
