PCI Express 4 vs PCIe 3: Is there a performance improvement?
Thanks to AMD, in the summer of 2019, new PCI Express hardware has arrived in our computers, promising graphics cards and solid-state drives that are faster than ever. The PCI Express 4.0 interface offers double the bandwidth of PCI Express 3.0 (PCIe 3), and it can do that for any expansion cards that connect to your motherboard. Now we have both graphics cards and SSDs that are compatible with PCI Express 4 (PCIe 4), available in shops. You may ask yourself: does PCIe 4 deliver more frames per second when playing games? Does it make your SSD drives a lot faster? We asked ourselves the same questions, so we decided to make this performance analysis in which we compare PCIe 4 with PCIe 3: Advertisement Table of contentsSkip to chapterHow we tested the PCI Express performancePCIe 4 vs. PCIe 3: Do you get more frames per second in games?PCIe 4 vs. PCIe 3: Do games load faster?PCIe 4 vs. PCIe 3: Does Windows 10 load faster?PCIe 4 vs. PCIe 3: Is data written and read faster on the disk?Does...
