Depends on the card you are getting. Currently with the 5700XT which is the only PCIe 4.0 card on the market, some games do show higher fps even if it is like 5fps going from PCIe 3.0 to PCIe 4.0. But the 2080Ti also shows that there's a massive difference in fps for some games going from PCIe 3.0 16x to 8x which could be the case with 3090 since with PCIe 4.0, 8x will be the speed of PCIe 3.0's 16x.

Personally I'd wait for PCIe scaling benchmarks or wait for Zen 3 entirely as it's coming out soon and could give you the best of both worlds.

If Zen 3 is actually coming out soon everything's fine. But even in that video you can see the differences in 4k are negligible. My next rig will be 4k only. And if I throw RT in the mix there probably won't be any bandwidth bottleneck either. I just don't want to run into CPU bottlenecks ever again.

It's supposed to come out by the end of 2020 which has been confirmed by AMD many times. But it could also be a paper launch.

And yea, 4k is negligible for the 2080 Ti but for the high end 3000 series, could be a different story entirely. If you want no compromises, best to wait a few more months for Zen 3 and then decide. If Zen 3 = i9 10900k performance but you also get the benefit of PCIe 4.0, then you are getting the best of both worlds.

With that being said, if I had to pick one up right now and my power supply was over 1000 watts and going to buy an excellent cooler and I was going for a pure gaming build, I'd pick the i9 10900k.
