Yes but, in practice some of these things don't matter much at all. At that point you're looking at the performance stack a bit too deeply.

Look at the bigger picture. For example - an RTX 4090 can perform about as well on PCIe 3.0 as it does on 4.0 in most tasks that you'd likely use it for.

You don't have to care about some of these things as much as you used to before. Sometimes you can get too deep into hunting the best version of your system before you realize that it really doesn't make that much of a difference.
