Firmly in the rumor no one has a clue category:

I see, cheers, well, I guess we will see, but even if it will happen, it won't be tomorrow

Thanks. I still don't understand the reason why the +100W difference between 3070 and 3080:
- is it gddr6x? - and/or awful scaling of hardware?

This has not been reported with GPUs AFAIK, and some people have reported that putting those add-in cards in the slot connected to the CPU does not cause the issues (but then you have to put your GPU on the chipset, so not a fix), so it may be related to the lanes on the X570 chipset. Then again as it's the only chipset currently providing PCIe 4.0 outside of the CPU lanes, there is no way to verify this on another platform (of course the issues could also come from the design of those older adapters not 100% following the protocol spec and causing forward compatibility issues, or "undefined behaviour"). Anyway, yes there have been issues even if it's limited to a very small percentage of hardware and users. If I had to buy a new system now I would buy a B550 just to avoid that because I'm using an old add-in soundcard and PCIe Wi-Fi.

the x1 slots are PCIe 3 not 4 on x570 only the CPU slot and the x4 slot are PCIe 4. i have tested quite some sounds cards with it no problem and the PCIe x1 slots should be identical between b550 and x570.
older PCIe had that problem multiply times (even GPUs) where they stopped working in a new slot and the mainboard bios had to find a workaround. what so ever the topic was a new card in a new spec. if you create a PCIe x4 4 card right now you create it for x570 (for the most part). there shouldn't be any problem. |

My Mellanox MCX354A (ConnectX-3, ca. 2011) and CX455A (ConnectX-4, ca. 2014) work perfectly in my X570 Asus Crosshair VIII Hero with no workarounds. I have all legacy compatibility modes disabled and the slots all in "auto" generation. I don't think these PCIe 3.0 devices are ones Asus did a special BIOS workaround for. The PCIe x1 slots support 4.0 on X570. Support for PCIe 4.0 lanes from the chipset is the major difference between X570 and B550. All the PCIe slots on my motherboard support PCIe 4.0.

Weird, I just totally assumed it was standard for all X570 boards.

Apologies, I misunderstood from the replies.
Yeah I did not say that this problem was widespread, just that it happened. I wasn't aware there had been forward compatibility issues with GPUs and PCIe before. @QBhd I also have an X-Fi Ti which is good news, but on Creative's subreddit a lot of people reported problems with the very recent AE-x series of card for example, in fact I first learned about it on that forum. AMD's spec page for X570 (https://www.amd.com/en/chipsets/x570) says: Quote:

i have an AE-X lying around somewhere.
the x570 is connected to the CPU (IO die) using PCIe 4 x4 so the max speed is PCIe 4 x4 no matter what. in short zen 2 consumer has 24 PCIe 4 lanes 16 directly to the CPU 4 to the IO die for M.2 and 4 for the chipset (from the IO die). it's quite complicated: https://images.anandtech.com/doci/14161/X570.png |

On my ASUS TUF X570...
Quote:
EDIT: Actually I think I am interpreting this wrong... that's 7 of the 8 available (based on the diagram above). My board has 8 SATA (Yes I use them all, LOL) so there seems to be lanes left on the table with this budget board. EDIT 2: It's only 1 lane left unused? I do have the 2 NVMe (one from the CPU and one from the chipset)... UGH, I will agree with the "it's quite complicated" statement from huhn LOL QB

Seriously....it should NOT be that complicated but apparently is. I think I'll just....hold off a while before considering upgrading to something with a PCIe 4.x solution. LOL

The PCIe 4.0 is not the complicated part... It's the versatility and customizability of the X570 chipset and how the vendors implement such flexibility. You just need to do the leg work and make sure the board suits your needs.
Edit: What nev said too QB

Indeed. And this isnt really new to this generation. But I guess there was less to care about before for many people. Motherboard picking has always been an art for me with big spreadsheets.

Oh yeah, I spent the better part of a year deciding what X570 board to get. I originally wanted a Hero, but after really sitting down and thinking about the things I truly need, the TUF was the better option and about $250 cheaper....
Although, I really do like and want the new refreshed Hero Dark... Damn I just upgraded in March after 8 years on 990FX/8350... and now I want Zen3 and a Hero Dark... LOL QB

I'm currently looking at the Gigabyte X570 Aorus Master since it ticks all my boxes, but i'm still looking if they release new boards until November.

I cancelled my 3090 order today as I made barely any progress on the queue this week and wanted the money back before I had to pay the VISA bill, given they weren't even sure they could deliver by the end of November.
I'll wait until early next year to upgrade the GPU, when I have more time and we know better what the options are. Hopefully a 3080ti with 20Gb in 7nm. CPU-wise, I'm still waiting until Rocket Lake is out to make a decision between Intel and AMD, but still leaning towards Intel for now due to my specific needs. I guess most people would lean towards AMD, and rightly so. Zen 3 looks very appealing. I don't expect to have my new rig fully built until the middle of 2021 now, so I have plenty of time to decide. I'm like Nevcairiel, I use spreadsheets a lot when deciding on components for a new rig...
