  Hey,
  Has there been any recent to new motherboards that would affect/improve the performance of Graphics Cards?
  If I have a gt 1030 in a sandy bridge mobo will graphics perfomance be the worse/same/better on the gt 1030 in a new mobo? Has PCIE changed? Assuming you factor out the cpu bottleneck.

    if you're talking about Resizable BAR, it's only supported on the latest RTX3000 series and older cards like the pascal based GT1030 isn't supported and probably never will.

    PCIE gen 3 on this board vs gen 2 coming from Sandy Bridge. PCIE 3 is twice as fast. For a GT1030, it won't make a difference.

      Thanks, this was what I wanted to know! So what Graphic cards will really benefit from PCIE gen 3? Gtx 750 ti? Gtx 1050 ti? Gtx 1650 ti? or rtx?

        low-mid range cards like 1650 probably isn't going to be bottlenecked in a PCIE 2.0 slot.

        What is likely to happen though is your older gen CPU might not be able to keep up. Unless you've got a really fast Core i7 2600K that's been overclocked to 4ghz, it's possible it may hold back back cards faster than a 1650 Super.

        I ended up doing some digging. As the other response says, your CPU will more likely become an issue before PCIE. There's this article on PCIE scaling with a 3080 which doesn't show a significant difference between gen 2, 3 and 4.

          @ihfree: thanks for helpful links. looks like i'll have to get a few new components. maybe when nvidia launches rtx 4000 series. Gtx 1650's are going for what gtx 1660's once went for :*(. thought sandy bridge was unstoppable. guess not anymore,

    If you upgrade from the Sandy Bridge motherboard you need a new CPU and DDR4 RAM. PCIe gen 4 is out.

      yup, i will jump ship once gpu prices seem okay. every old gpu deal on ozb should be on the front page now.

        There is a shortage on GPUs. It will be a long time before prices drop.

          @Twix: because there is a lot of people buying GPUs for bitcoins now, so ye, gona be a long time before price got to steady. even with the older GPUs, price raised as well

            @LegoLexus: You could get a GTX 1650, recoup some of its value to make up for the inflation. but that's talking $1 buck a day for running a pc 24/7. go figure. better off just finding $1 in coins at the supermarket.
