The first value PCIe X16 4.0 means your graphics card supports PCIe 4.0 generation and a bandwidth of x16.

Second value of x16 3.0 means it is currently running at PCIe 3.0 generation and a bandwidth of x16.

This means your motherboard does not support PCIe 4.0 generation. Now, this really should not affect performance as far as I know. But yes, if you buy a motherboard that supports PCIe 4.0 generation, your graphics card will run at PCIe 4.0 x16 mode.

If your motherboard has the features you want and does its job properly, I don't think you really need to upgrade. I don't think switching to PCIe gen 4.0 will affect GPU performance or at the best case scenario you will get minor improvements. So it is something you need to research and decide for yourself.

Hope this helps.

Yes, your GPU is compatible with the motherboard.

Motherboard models determine CPU compatibility, not GPU, unless your motherboard is very, very old.
