Hello,
What are the performance impacts of using PCIe2 instead of PCIe3? Does the lower speed induce a noticable latency? In which circumstances would it be applicable to use PCIe2 for basically the same performance, if at all possible?

Hey @chlk,
Gen3 offers approximately double the performance of Gen2, with a minimal latency difference (~16ns for Gen3 vs ~32ns for Gen2 in typical use cases). Given these characteristics, we generally recommend using Gen3 for optimal performance.
You might see similar performance between Gen2 and Gen3 only in specific cases, such as single-stream applications with very low frame rates (around 5 FPS).
