My components:
- Asus TUF 3080Ti watercooled (it fits)
- Asus X570-I Strix
- AMD 5700x watercooled
- Corsair Dominator Platinum 3200mhz CL16 32GB
- Also tried with Corsair Vengeance Pro RT 3600mhz CL16 32GB
- Corsair SF750

Running multiple games at 3440 x 1440, 144hz

I've seated and reseated the GPU and riser cables multiple times, there are no breaks in the cable, no shorts, and believe me I've triple checked to make sure there are no extraneous circumstances just in case. This cable will not run at PCI-E Gen 4 on a 3080Ti. I force it down to 3.0 in BIOS and I get smooth gameplay (FPS drops in Ghostrunner + RDR2), no audio stuttering, the system is normal. I'm going to test bandwidth numbers tomorrow because I'm tired of tinkering with hardware today. Also ordered a Linkup ITX riser to test that out.

If I'm being obtuse or optimistic about my chances of getting full speed with a riser, please call me out, but AFAIK this is an identical problem with the latest Fractal Ridge risers
