While the platform is PCIe Gen 4.0 ready the reality remains that Z490 will only survive two generation s of processors, so Rocket Lake-S is the next series that will finally bring PCIe Gen 4.0, the good news is that this motherboard is compatible or at least should be. It's not listed on the box or as a spec though. So I do hope that once Rocket lake-S is available, Gigabyte will not just 'update' the premium boards only. if you do not plan to go extreme with overclocks and whatnot, this might be just the right board for you. Definitely worth a recommendation.
