Right but the impact is not as detrimental compared to a pcie gen 4x4 card on a gen 3 motherboard.
Like it’s not great but it could be worse. Tbh if I was on a gen 3 system, I’d appreciate a newer motherboard and CPU over a new gpu. Especially taking into consideration that an i9 9900kf gets beaten by a Ryzen 7 5825u on benchmarks.
A PCI-E 4x4 card would run on gen 3 at x4, cutting performance in half from a gen 4x4 connection.
CPU is not quite as critical for 1440p under 120fps. At 4K the CPU is almost irrelevent. There will be a difference from CPU but single but not a visual difference if it’s at least on Haswell or Coffee Lake
