PCIe x8 graphics cards aren't ideal, but we're stuck with them it seems. However, if vendors were to make them x8 physically too, it opens up some possibilities.
comes with an x8 physical connection. And I think it's a pretty good idea. Not that it will make much of a difference to most users one way or the other, but there are some that will benefit from it.
The AD107 GPU that powers the RTX 4060 only has an x8 electrical interface. It's there to reduce manufacturing costs. An x8 link is fine for PCIe 4.0 systems, but it will cost a little bit of performance on a PCIe 3.0 system and even more on a PCIe 2.0 system, which is where a bunch of RTX 4060s will end up. I don't like the idea of midrange graphics cards coming with x8 connections for that reason, but that's another story. It is what it is.
Here's why a card with a PCIe x8 physical connection makes a lot of sense. For starters, such a card will function perfectly well in any x16 slot, but having an x8 physical connector opens up some flexibility options. Though it will depend on the PCIe lane allocation and physical configuration of the host system.
PCIe slots are used for more than just graphics cards, though few require the bandwidth of an x16 slot. Some devices do, like a quad slot M.2 SSD add-in card. In that case you could run the SSD card in the x16 slot and the Palit RTX 4060 in a secondary x8 slot. You'll have to give up a little performance if the GPU has to run via chipset links but it will still be capable of gaming, and of course it'll easily put out an image to several monitors.
