Any thoughts on how well an RX 9070 XT might work on an X470 motherboard with PCI-e 3 and the CPU above? Will the interface hold it back a lot or, will PCI-e 3 still provide enough bandwidth for it to work reasonably well? At some point in the next year or two, I do intend to move up to AM5 but, can get a reasonable B550 motherboard with PCI-e 4. I don't want to wait that long for a new GPU, because of new developments in The Elder Scrolls series.
 
I was annoyed at the explicit firmware removal of 4.0 negotation rates as well on x370/x470

Probably not much for the GPU though there's a 4090 PCIE scaling review but it was like 3% @ 1080 and 2% at higher res


Even the dropoff from pcie 2.0 isn't severe so you should be aight
