Mine works fine with re bar enabled in bios. Not had a single issue with my gen 4 riser cable. That post was from a while ago.

Same, no issues here.

Im using the linkup PCI-e 4.0 90o 220mm raiser cable, it wasnt cheap, with a RX6800, never had any issues with it, build quality is excellent, when Lian Li finally released the 2 risers for the 011 Mini, I just brought the cheaper PCI-e 3.0 version and swapped the cables, perfect fit.

Ok thanks both. Due to the sheer size of the gpu I’m only able to install via a riser cable. Do you know of any 4.0 riser cables that are of a well known brand. Can’t find any apart from an unknown brand on Amazon. Thanks

I've used a LinkUp PCIE 4 riser cable with an RTX 3070 and it worked fine in PCIE 4 mode

Same, Link-up seems to be the best of the bunch, although the price aint so pretty.

with riser cables, resizeable BAR or smart memory access is not possible. i found out the hard way! PC won't boot if you enable Re-BAR and with riser cable attached

My 6900Xt runs fine at 4.0 with SAM and resizable bar enabled.

Yeah that’s what I’ve got. It’s working really well although a little expensive. That post is about 7 months old now.

I have used a linkup this thing was £80 of the rainforest all these things just lose performance after an hour .Nice looking riser cable.now used a XIAOLO was very cheap looking another £40 of the same place this one was my 2nd pci express 4 riser cable lsame thing happens I'm getting 200 fps in doom 2016 all going great then boom from to 200 to 140 fps.
Now I'm onto a coolermaster pci express 4.0 this riser has been the best it seemed to be working for a while then same thing happend but adjusting the bio frm gen 4 to gen 3 lasted about 3 hours of PERFECCT GAMING then same loss of frames . Does the asus 690 mother have a fault ? Th3 coolermaster riser is nice looking with its purple strip .

I have seen others talk about put your graphic card in set the bios to wot ever gen save take your graphics card out put your riser cable in and card and away you go . I've done this it works sorta.

Had anyone else had drop in frames when using any riser cables .

I’ve not. Well not that I’ve noticed anyway. I had an issue with a lian-li 4.0 riser only working in x8 instead of x16. I own a phanteks 4.0 riser now and it’s been perfect with my 3090.Also had a link up one that worked well too.

What motherboard have you I'm on my 3rd riser now .lose of performance is the only thing annoying me at the min.

scubes · 2 Mar 2022 at 06:44

There's nothing wrong with my setup it's has to be a setting that's not configured right.
