after that it only sends small commands and little bits of data, so the pci-bus speed is not that important.

it will even work on a 1x speed, but it might take 2-3 minutes to load the model into your GPU on the first click and you will get some lag when changing material nodes/params.

once it's in the gpu there really is'nt much traffic over the PCI-E bus.

Nice, architecture .. :)
If there really is'nt much traffic over the PCIe bus, you can support Octane over the InfiniBand, too.
Without limitaions on number of GPUs.
