Nah it wont bottleneck, and yes they are backward compatible, Even a single Titan X on an old PCI-E 1.0 x8 slot wouldnt bottleneck it.
Even 2.0 and 3.0 are More than enough bandwith for single cards 5 years from now provided they were at-least x8.
Even 2.0 and 3.0 are More than enough bandwith for single cards 5 years from now provided they were at-least x8.
To add to what this guy said ^. The new USB type c connector actually can transfer over a PCIE x4 bandwidth.
I say this because EVERYBODY has graphic amplifiers that either use proprietary, thunderbolt, or USB type c for the amplifier. And they all work great, even with a titan x in the amplifier.
Makes you wonder why we even have PCIE 3.0 and 2.0 if 1.0 speeds are still great for modern games. lol
Typical PC marketing with things like PCI-E and USB, they tend (with most but not all things) to add way more bandwith than nessesary. however its not really a bad thing, cuz that means it will be a Looooooooooong time before they are able to even saturate and old x16 PCI-E 1.0 slot.
