PCIe 1x to 16x riser

[Billy_Mays]

Im looking into getting a riser for my next build in a custom case and it will resemble a Thermaltake P series and I want to have clean cabling since it will be an open air case and it will look ugly with messy cables so I was looking into getting this but on a discord group that Im on a guy said it would bottle neck my GPUs with games so I was told to get one of these  so which will be the best for gaming and stuff

x16 to x16 riser will have the most bandwidth.

Ok I was looking at those two since they are the same price and I know about the bandwith between 16x and 1x

But which one will be better for an easier mounting?

What GPU and what PCIe generation?  It may or may not bottleneck.

PCIe 2.0 and GTX 770 2gb and I will be upgrading to a Vega 56 later this year or early next year

If you're planning on upgrading to Vega on a 2.0 slot then you should get 16x to 16x.  If it had been 3.0 and you weren't planning to upgrade then 1x probably would have been fine.

 

On another note, Vega 56 might not be a very good deal.  Vega 64 got a $100 price rise, and Vega 56 might do the same thing.  That would make it equal to the 1070 in performance, but it draws way more power and outputs way more heat.  Don't make your decision yet.

I know I'm waiting till September to make a choice since Coffee Lake reviews are out and Vega 56 prices will be out also
