I'm running an old G1. Sniper Z87 mobo with a 4770K @ 4ghz with an RTX2080 in the top PCIe x16 slot of which it has 2, the 2nd drops to 8x when populated with a 2nd graphics card, also a few x1 slots.
I'm looking at the Samsung 970 evo M.2 as the lead candidate right now.
My question is will using a M.2 adapter 4x have a significant impact on my graphical performance?
Is it worth such a hit for the faster loads in games/apps/windows in general or is it such a tiny hit that I won't really notice?
System doesn't struggle with anything I play except that tech demo star cit (realistic dreamer).
Long term goal is a new build but that's still in the planning stage so I'm making do with parts I can take with me to the new build later in the year (M.2 drive being one of them).
