It will be fine. I have 1 rig with 4 7970's. All of them on powered risers, three are x16 and one is x1. All four cards hash the same.

Everyone does this.  Tongue
Bandwidth doesn't matter much when mining, you could mine on the card via USB theoretically.

My motherboard is Gigabyte G31:

www.bd.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=3135#ov


My motherboard has 1 PCI Express x16 slot and 1 PCI Express x1 slot.I will put 1 card in X16 slot and thinking of putting the second one in X1 slot through a pci riser extension cable.

I am worried if I put it in X1 slot will I get full hashing power of the card?Need help from people who tried it and knows about this properly.
