Has anyone benchmarked the differnce between x16, x8, x4, x1 Tweet

I've seen a few posts about the difference between x16 and x8 being almost nonexistent... but what about x4 and x1? I've seen a couple builds where people are using what looks like crypto mining boards... which are usually x1 and a few x4s.

Seems like it would be a major space saver. Assuming the performance isn't bad...

I did countless tests on x1 risers. The results are each card on the x1. Only took a 1% performance loss. So do it if you can. It's really worth it. Fitting 5 GPUs on a motherboard that's really just designed for 2 GPUs. Feels great. Considering that you don't have to spend a lot of money on a motherboard with multiple x16 slots.
