Will pcie converters(x1 to x16) bottleneck mining?

No.

The bandwidth used while mining isn't that significant and will not bottleneck the card

You can use as many cards as PCI-e slots on the motherboard

Do some actual work for your currency items. Stop hogging GPU's. Stop waisting energy, and start saving the world.

@Teddy07 Then you don't get the sarcasm about that last part. And I think most gamers would agree with the middle arguement piece. And well, the first part... Common sence?

 

*PS: from my "location" in my profile field. "the HPS is shining" Google HPS, and you should know I'm not that into saving electricity.

Lol, I think the exception to this is the people who have mined for years and won't sell after ether drops. The annoying this is the people who buy them up and will sell them, unless you are like me and can buy an r9 390 for 170 and sell it 370 (330 after fees)

Gamers really should stop being egoistic little shits who think that only they should be allowed to have graphics cards.
