What GPU is compatible with B450 motherboard?
The current best gaming GPU on the market is the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti. As for the CPU, the B450 supports all three generations of Ryzen processors in the AM4 socket. This gives you the option of anything from the 3600/3700 to the 3900X, and even the 3950X.

Yes, BUT B450 doesn’t seem to “officially” support PCIE Gen 4 and all upcoming AMD GPUs use that. Not sure how much bandwidth these new gpus use, I’d expect 3080 to be able to take advantage of pcie gen 4 so if you use it on your current mobo with pcie gen 3, you may not get the full performance.
