PCI-E Riser Cable Recommendations?

[Knight77]

I have a 2080 Ti and I am looking to vertically mount my card and thus need a riser cable. 

 

I want to make I don’t lose an Performance by using the cable - are there any good ones on Amazon UK or that would do the job?

 

I was looking at this one?

Just like with regular cables, there's really going to be no difference between them in terms of performance. They're just pieces of metal inside a plastic case, with connectors on the ends.

Ok, and no loss of performance by using the cable than plugging into Motherboard?

yeah no performance loss. Linus did a video on this where he used an impractical amount of riser cables (3 meters or so) and still didn't see an impact.

Usually you'll only get into issues if the cable's far too long or you connect several together, it was an annoyance for miners hehe but you'll be fine.

 

I'd grab the Corsair one and enjoy it out~
