"Hey guys, I'm planning to give my mining rig a makeover soon and I'm wondering if anyone's considered switching to PCIe 5.0. From what I've seen, it looks like the new generation of GPUs like the Nvidia RTX 4090 are taking advantage of the faster speeds, but is it worth the cost for mining? Anyone with experience or thoughts on this?"

"Been thinking about upgrading my rig myself, but I'm not sure if PCIe 5.0 is worth the investment yet. From what I've seen, the real benefits come from newer GPUs that actually support it, but my current setup is still running strong. Anyone have any real-world experience with PCIe 5.0 mining rigs?"
"Personally, I'm still rocking PCIe 4.0 on my 3080ti rig and haven't seen a significant enough performance boost to justify the upgrade. Unless you're planning on moving to PCIe 5.0-capable GPUs, I think it's a bit of overkill. Has anyone with a PCIe 5.0 setup seen tangible gains?"
