To set on PCI-E 4.0 is a mistake. PCI-E 5.0 is right around the corner. It might be backward compatible, but if you buy it for that it would be better to wait.

- bryanlarsen 9y agoETA for PCI-E 5.0 in consumer equipment is 2020 or 2021. That's actually fairly quick considering that PCIE 4.0 is just starting to trickle out, but I wouldn't call that "right around the corner". I do expect many providers to skip PCI-E 4.0. OTOH the delta from 4 to 5 is a lot smaller than the delta from 3 to 4, so running PCI-E 4 is also a good mechanism for getting a head start on 5.
