Ribbon vs USB risers, performance difference?

[BS001]

Are USB risers really worse in terms of performance?

I know most of Ribbon risers are not shielded and the fact that cable's length plays a (significant) role in this too.

Also I saw USB risers rev 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6, but I'm not sure what's the difference, they all look the same.

Yep ... me !

My ribbon risers are from 2013/2014 and are still working fine
(still 8 mining right now)

I am also still using ribbon risers

Without any issues I might add

[Shizzle my dizzle]

Just replaced the USB raisers with ribbon raisers because the USB ones are too large and make the cards fit worse in the frame.

I guess I should also add that I get the same performance with the ribbon risers as I do with the GPU directly on the motherboard

The one's I have had since LTC day's I have.  Amazing how long some of them have lasted on part's.   But I personally love USB riser's if I build a rig anymore.  You get extra space to spread out card's.  It looks much cleaner.   

Either will work but once you try USB risers I think most will like them better.   Just so many advantages at least for me.
