I'm not saying I have a better solution or a better setup at home. I'm doing something extremely similar. I would 100% say that my solution sucks.... But it works.
There's plenty of ways to do it.
I wanted to get an x16 to dual oculink 8x connector card with a matching dock, so I wouldn't have to give up any bandwidth while getting high end graphics going, but I can't find anything that fits that bill. So I have a riser cable bodged together with the case of my system perpetually open.
It works. I don't love it, but I don't have the time/money to find/buy what I feel would be more ideal. So this is what I've done.
I don't want to give up half the PCIe lanes and I can't find a way to do that with anything that's not a riser cable.
So here I am.
