you mean you're not here for the unions and memes?
Brother I barely have pcie 4
I was thinking the same :(
I'm running a PCIe 4.0 GPU in a 3.0 socket... and I swear I just bought the thing!
I recently built a computer with only one PCIE 5 slot.
I know it's super challenging to isolate power on a board. But I would love for them to add the ability to run any card entirely from the board.
The main issue I see there is the power still has to come from somewhere. All this would likely do is move the pci-e power plugs to the motherboard and cause lots of confusion related to: "this GPU only requires two plugs of power, but the motherboard has three plugs, do I need to plug in all three? My PSU only has two pci-plugs."
I read something recently about progress on that. Google is only finding this older article for me right now though : https://www.tomshardware.com/news/new-gpu-power-connector-eliminates-cables-delivers-more-than-600w
Wait, they sell PCIe 5.0 now, does that mean 6.0 has already been fully specked out?
Its been speced out for a couple a years but the spec always comes out years before we see any motherboards capable of them and years before we have devices capable of them. Are there any x16 pcie 5 gpus out yet?
The new 5000 series have them and they come out end of the month. Hence why it’s surprising to hear about 2 generations ahead.
Datacenters are often ahead on this, I believe.
It's still hard to find PCIe 4 stuff lol
