Hi! As the title says, I am thinking about upgrading my system for the last time to max out the current build.
Mainboard: Asrock AB350 Pro4 with a PCIE4.0 16x slot
CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 5950X
Ram: 64BG DDR4-3200
Current GPU: Nvidia 3070Ti 8GB
PSU: 800W, more than enough.
Storage: 1 TB M.2, 2TB M.2 SSD /w extra controller in a PCIE 4x slot, a fuckton of HDD storage
I am thinking about switching out the 3070TI with it’s measly 8GB VRAM that is simply not doing it for 1440p Gaming with a AMD RX 9060XT 16GB, which is pretty cheap and available right now, esp when i take the resale value of my 3070TI into account, which would account for a bit over 100€ for the upgrade, which is quite substantial in performance.
I cannot for my life find any compatibility information between my Mainboard and the AMD Card. I know i lose a little bit of performance because it’s a PCIE5 Card in a PCIE4 Slot, which to my knowledge shouldn’t be too much of an issue, but i wanted to ask if anyone has knowledge if there are issues with compatibility here.

Almost all pcie versions are backwards and forwards compatible. You could put a pcie 5 video card in a pentium 4 machine and it should work.
