Pci-e 3.0 RTX 4090

[Sepe]

Hello. I have Asus rog encore extreme x299 board and core i9 Extreme processor. My graphics card is damaged, the signal does not work. I am thinking of buying RTX 4090 if it is not compatible? Or problem? Can you inform me.
Thank you.

It would work fine, but if you're not gaming at 4K it might be a bit of a waste.

Even at 4k it will knee cap a 4090.

Thats basically a given but he asked if it will work, not if it will work optimally.

Yes, I do have a Asus psu of 1000w. I'm not a gamer, I use it for editing porfessionals videos as job. Thank you!

Well in that case it should be great

Is he going to lose some fps? Sure.
But knee cap it? It doesn't seem so:

That was just pcie 3 vs pcie 4.

Going from cpu gen to cpu gen he'll lose a bit more, but less than I thought:

Frame times and minimal fps suffer more then max FPS when the CPU is too weak even at 4k.
