Possible to enable PCIe 4x4 support with only PCIe 3x4 on a X470 Gaming Plus Motherboard?

I understand that PCIe 4x4 NVMe's can run in a PCIe 3x4 Slot at reduced speed, I just wasn't sure if there was an option to boost or make it run closer to the speed advertised in PCIe 4x4 slots. I had heard that MSI might have released some kind of support for PCIe 3's to run close to 4's.

Also would a 4.0/3.0 adapter work correctly with this motherboard and running a PCIe 4x4 SSD? Will it support the full speed then? I should also state that the NVMe is a Samsung 980 Pro 2TB I plan on making my OS when it arrives through drive migration.
