NVIDIA has stressed using the newest PCIe 5.0 technology, especially when it comes to their Ampere line of graphics cards. What is interesting is that the power cable system that they have been using is identical to the next-gen PCIe 5.0 power cables, due to the same utilization of the Molex Micro-Fit 3.0 model designs.

Is it possible that NVIDIA was strategizing for PCI-Express Gen5 compatibility this entire time?
