bitcoin Will limiting pci lanes per gpu bottleneck mining?

[Bjamse]

So the title says it all but quick summary on why I wonder.

Setup:

CPU: intel i5 6600k (oc)

GPU: Nvidia gtx 1060 (oc)

Motherboard: Asus z170-e

+stuff like hdds, ssd....

 

Here is the deal, I got a super cheap offer on my friends radeon rx 470 (like 40$ and it works). My concern is that I will get bottlenecked if I try to mine with both.

AMD is generally better than Nvidia at mining, but I only mine for fun and want to test this out.

Will I do fine by running them in x8 pci or do I have to swap board and cpu for it to work optimal?(btw not an option)

No. The work is done on the card from what @Ryan_Vickers said in his guide.

Nope, mining only needs 1x to work.

1x works fine but what are you planning to mine?  The market is in a really strange situation at the moment, where values of bitcoin, ethereum, etc. are down, ethereum is rapidly getting harder to mine and soon will be basically impossible, bitcoin is heading toward a massive disruption too... not a great time to get into it

i am just mining for fun.
i use NiceHash. idk if that is smart or not but it was simple and had a nice ui. 

it seems like it uses multiple different currencies but idk
