Will this PCI-E riser effect my gpu performance?

[MicahK555]

So I'm building a custom Computer desk inspired by Lian Li's desks that house the components in the desk with a glass top so you can see it all. I'm doing basically the same thing, however, i need to use a pcie extension/riser to set my graphics card on its side because it is to tall when normally attached to the motherboard. So my question is will this type of riser create lag?

I have already read other posts on LTT that the full size ones don't, but I bought two of them already and they don't work half the time. Either they freeze the display or don't display at all.

 

Thank you for your time,

Yes. It's only x1.

Short answer: yes

Long answer: yes because it's a 1x riser going through USB.

I literally burst out laughing when I saw this... I can't believe it actually exists.

 

Perhaps for folding where bandwidth is less important than the shear number of cards you can connect, this would work, but for the love of god do not attempt to game on this.

With the one you have listed is only PCI-E X-1 capable so that would be a big limitation. Regular PCI-E extenders themselves do not affect performance in a meaningful way, the ones your purchased were probably not shielded and usually they only work <25cm most times. If you want guarenteed performance and stability the professional riser from 3M are pricey but are proper shielded and even come in extra long lenths:

yes it will. only becaues its a x1 speed slot

 

I have used the below type in the past for RAID cards, my friend uses this for his SLI 980ti setup with no issues.

These are the ones I originally got. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00D79EV0G?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00 

Both crap sadly.

Those aren't shielded so they are hit and miss at times most times they do work <25cm long, you can try using a foil tape around it in a few layers to see if it helps to give shielding but from what I've seen with others it takes a ridiculous amount of layers like 5 to get even a system to post if it's very noisy.

Yeah get shielded; apparently it is even faster than having it directly in the slot!

Ok, thanks for the help!
