Really interesting experiment i should have done this before Do you have numbers on effective throughput vs PCIe theoretical bandwidth? I’m curious whether this is primarily latency-bound or bandwidth-bound in practice Can some tell me??

Actually is purely bandwidth-bound, the major bottleneck of the whole process, for me in this case, is the B450 mobo I got that's only capable of pcie3 and 1x8 in the pcie lanes for gpu instead of 1x16; so I'm capped until I get an X570 maybe. I should get around twice or triple the tok speed with that upgrade alone
