There's a stupid mistake in the video. The speeds you see in my test setup, are all PCIe 2.0, not 3.0. Apparently I don't know my test setup as good as I though I did...
This actually means more old systems would be able to reach the same speeds, but a true PCIe 3.0 slot should give you much higher levels.
This is the NVMe drive I used in this test:
