It is reported that the Nvidia RTX 40 graphics card does not support PCIe 5.0

IT House news on April 24th, according to reliable whistleblower Kopite7Kimi, NVIDIA RTX 40 series graphics cards will still support PCIe 4.0, not the latest PCIe 5.0.

IT House has learned that Intel’s latest 12th-generation Core already supports PCIe 5.0, and some 600-series motherboards are also equipped with PCIe 5.0 Ready graphics slots, so many people think that the new generation of graphics cards will support this standard. However,Nvidia RTX 40 graphics card will support PCIe 4.0the reason may be that the ultra-high bandwidth of PCIe 5.0 is not needed for the time being.

As shown above,PCIe 5.0 x16 bandwidth will reach 128GB/s, double that of PCIe 4.0. Currently, consumer-grade products do not seem to use such high bandwidth.

In March this year, Nvidia Hopper GPU architecture, which is the first GPU architecture to officially support PCIe Gen5 for data centers.

The first devices to use PCIe 5.0 on consumer products will be SSDs. IT House has reported that during this year’s CES, some manufacturers have announced the release plan of PCIe 5.0 SSD.

Team Group Technology has released the CARDEA series PCIe Gen5 SSDs under its T-FORCE gaming brand, with sequential read and write speeds expected to be as high as 13000/12000MB/s Above, and the storage capacity is as high as 4TB, mass production in the third quarter.
