      Adds about 1ns (nanosecond, a billionth of a second) per 30cm of riser. So essentially nothing. The only problem happens when some of the signals are lost / attenuated / confused due to interference. As long as it’s a high quality shielded riser it’ll be totally fine.

      I am not fond of LTT so I won’t link their video - but they did a 1.3m PCIE extension and measured no performance impact at all. I’m sure OP is fine.

        Same. Been telling the algo on YT to ignore LTT related videos for awhile now. Used to get recommended like every other day or so. But lately the algo has been deprioritizing their vids. Maybe the latest controversy (employee abuse) had something to do with it

          He’s just kind of a jerk. Was honestly not all that surprising. I wouldn’t want to work for him… Also I’d never want to trust the reviews or opinions of someone who can’t take criticism well.

      if the riser is rated for 16x you shouldn’t have any slowdowns.

      you can always check if the card is linked at full speed. if it’s at 16x, then there’s no difference.
