As title looking at picking up a new board I think the asrock does but not to sure is there any from gigabyte or other thanks
 
im using 3 gen 4 nvme drives on the x870e strix without it affect my gpu, as long as you don't use the top left 2 gen 5 slots you get full 16x, but you can still use the top right gen 5 slot.

X670E TUF will let you use 4 without dropping the GPU to x8. One is Gen 3 x2 and you loose the SATA ports if you use it.

a lot of the new boards dedicate 4 lanes to provide USB4 40GBps so have to skimp on M2 lanes.

My Asus x670 Hero let's you have 2 PCI-E 5 NVME drives and 2 PCI-E 4. Only if you populate the 3rd PCI-5 NVME slot does it start taking lanes off of the GPU. Not cheap, I grant you, but the motherboards do exist if you want them.
