I wasn't personally aware of a looming PCIe 5.0 spec, but like you say the GPU performance increase from 3.0 to 4.0 is minimal so a further version doesnt seem neccessary.The main issue from a manufacturers perspective is the Motherboard/Riser/GPU compatibility issues and the customer service nightmare this would create, especially being such a small company. PCIe 4.0 risers are currently too expensive to buy in small quantities and ship with a case, so realistically we could only include a PCIe 3.0 riser with our cases. The problem with that is the majority of people who buy a PC case are not enthusiasts like those on this Forum, they rightly expect to buy something and for it to work out the box, and it's unrealistic to expect the average user to be messing around in their BIOS to get their case to work.Hopefully the riser situation will improve with time.
