time to hold off on that new video card purchase
I sometimes wonder if there are people who never buy anything because they're always "holding off" for the next best thing. Just buy whatever and enjoy it.
What about my PCI video cards?
You'll need to put them on an Express Train adapter.
The article I read yesterday said that they were arguing over PCI-E 5.0 already.

AFAIK we barely utilize 2.0 to its full potential, 3.0 is overkill and utilized for PCI-E SSDS the sort, wtf will 4.0 do?
I was under the impression that there are more mGPU setups than ever before, and may see a further increase if VR actually takes off. If you have a 4K LCD per eye for example, no single GPU can handle it, and it would make sense to have one GPU per LCD.Vega did show a difference between PCIe 3.0 8x and 16x for multiGPU. But since mGPU is dying off... Yeah 3.0 should last forever.

NVIDIA VRWorks™
LiquidVR™ | Immersive Virtual Reality Technology | AMD
Both AMD and NVIDIA are pimping mGPU dedicated card per eye for VR.
I don't know, but if both major players are saying dedicated GPU per eye is the way to go, there must be something behind it.That's great that they are.... AMD can't even get single cards right in VR half the time. I'm not going to hold my breath.
Given mGPU is reliant on fantastic frame time or you literally vomit, I have some skepticism. I'm more interested in nVidia's Simultaneous Multi-Projection. Doesn't SMP make one GPU per an eye antiquated?
What we know for sure is that VR relies on very low latency, very high framerates, and high resolution, and having a dedicated powerful card per eye makes sense. Personally, I'm hoping its not a fad like 3D, because I'm really digging VR on my Samsung Gear VR and just wish it had the horsepower for "real" games.VR SLI provides increased performance for virtual reality apps where multiple GPUs can be assigned a specific eye to dramatically accelerate stereo rendering.

OP seems a little too excited about PCI-E 4.0
He loves Nvidia. Don't throw your countrymen under the bus.
what Happends when you use AMD
With less power cables you can have a cleaner build
PCI-E 4 would allow GTX 10 series cards to run without a power adapter. So the wattage is probably more important than speed increase.

I am still waiting on HBM3 and 5nm processors. My Athlon64 3500 and Radeon 9700 Pro are still good enough. I only use that as my excuse for not having upgrade funds.I sometimes wonder if there are people who never buy anything because they're always "holding off" for the next best thing.

it's fightingfi, what do you expect? he's been here posting useless articles in the wrong sections of the forum for 8 years.. i mean i'll give him credit though at least it wasn't a 5 year old article this time.
the only thing i worry about is that high end boards just get even more expensive due to the overhead costs for the boards to support the higher power limits. but i don't see the power adapters on gpu's going anywhere any time soon since gpu manufactures are still going to have to make the cards backwards compatible.
