Hey everyone! I'm considering pairing an AMD Ryzen 7 5700X3D with an RTX 5060 Ti on a B450 motherboard and am curious if this setup will work well for gaming at 1080p. Do I need to worry about any potential PCI bus bottlenecks with this combination? Looking forward to your insights and thanks in advance!

Great question! You're spot on with your concerns about PCIe lanes and performance. The RTX 5060 Ti will run just fine on your PCIe 3.0 B450 motherboard. While there might be a slight dip in performance since the GPU supports PCIe 5.0, it usually won't be noticeable for gaming at 1080p unless you're pushing extreme settings. Most games won’t saturate the PCIe bandwidth. Just ensure you have the latest drivers and you should be good!
Yeah, I agree! It's also worth noting that for many games, the difference is almost negligible, especially at 1080p.
