Does the Predator Orion 3000 620 have PCI-E Gen 4?

So basically I'm getting a new ssd since I'm running out off space and I'm looking to get a SAMSUNG 980 Pro 1TB but I want to use it's max speeds but I'm unsure if the motherboard in my predator has pci-e gen 4. I don't really need a motherboard upgrade so tell me.

I took a look at what Intel has to say about their processors:

Intel 10th gen CPUs support PCIe 3.0.
Intel 11th gen CPUs support PCIe 4.0.

So, based on this I'd have to say say no as you most likely have 10th gen CPU in your PO3-620. But the difference between 3.0 and 4.0 is not that big in real life, although it looks huge on paper.

Since BF is here you may get a nice deal on a PCIe 4.0 drive. It will be still pretty fast and later you can move it to a new PC (or PS5?) and utilize its full speed. That's something to think about.
