Am I missing out on performance with a b650?

[harmattan]

I'm currently using an Asus b650 Pro TUF WiFi. It's relatively stable and generally has all the features e.g. I/O, fan headers I need. Over the past few months I've added a few new components: Rtx 5090, another M2 NVME SSD, Sata SSD. My current specs:

32GB DDR5 5200 (2x16)
9800x3d
500GB NVME M2 SSD (OS)
4GB NVME SSD M2
1GB SATA SSD (for photo backup)
RTX 5090

I can move to an x670 for a marginal cost, ~£60. Is there general performance I'm missing on my b650, or is it not worth the trouble moving? I understand an x670 would get me a few more PCI-E lanes, and an extra fan headers and USB ports (both of which I'd find useful, but not absolutely necessary)... I'm mostly gaming on this machine.

No difference.

depends if you feel that a 1% gain using pcie 5 for the 5090 is worth the cost and headache of swapping the motherboard
otherwise, no
