Nvidia is doing a Q&A on reddit

One of the questions was:

"Will PCIe 3.0 bottleneck the RTX 3090? Concerned because my Intel system does not support 4.0."

And the answer was:

"System performance is impacted by many factors and the impact varies between applications. The impact is typically less than a few percent going from a x16 PCIE 4.0 to x16 PCIE 3.0. CPU selection often has a larger impact on performance.We look forward to new platforms that can fully take advantage of Gen4 capabilities for potential performance increases."

Also some people on resetera did some calculations based on the % numbers provided by DF.

"Borderlands 3 (4k/Bad Ass/DX12/4K/TAA)
RTX 2080 - 34.33fps
RTX 2080 ti - 48FPS
RTX 3080 - 61.79fps (180%)


Shadow of the Tomb Raider (4k/Highest/TAA)
RTX 2080 - 47fps
RTX 2080 ti - 61FPS
RTX 3080 - 79.81.59fps (168%)


Battlefield V (4k/Ultra/TAA/DXR OFf)
RTX 2080 - 67fps
RTX 2080 ti - 84FPS
RTX 3080 - 112fps (168%)


Control (4k/High/TAA/DLSS OFf)
RTX 2080 - 31.8fps
RTX 2080 ti - 41.7FPS
RTX 3080 - 56.47fps (177.6%)


Doom Eternal (4k/Ultra Nightmare)
RTX 2080 - 82.3fps
RTX 2080 ti - 105.8FPS
RTX 3080 - 156fps (189.6%)


So, by my calculation (just let me know if anyone sees a discrepancy in all of this) the RTX 3080 is at most 147% faster than the 2080 ti, and at worst 133% faster. That's an incredible, and unexpected performance boost over the 2080ti that I never thought I'd see."
