Corsair Riser Cable

[Rowan88]

Hi.

I have a 4000X and a 3070ti FE with B550 Tomahawk.

Does the Corsair PCI 3.0 x16 Riser Cable work fine with these or do I lose performance?
Should I be getting a PCI 4.0 riser?
If so which one?

Thanks

yes you lose a little performance, plus you lose a little performance with the riser cable also since its not as good as putting a gpu straight into a mobo.

if you get a pci 4 riser cable you still need to have a mobo with pci 4 also

we are only talking a few % here though, nothing major and you probably will never notice it.

From what I know my motherboard is PCI 4.0.

So its really down to get the pci 3 for under £40 and lose a couple of % or pay an extra £30 for Gen 4 to gain a couple more but still wont be full.

Sounds like if I really want the vertical mount Gen 3 is better option.
