I just upgraded to a 3700x + Aorus pro x570, I cant fit my 1080ti in the PCIe4 16x slot (fitted with an arctic accelero) as the hsf is colliding with a Noctua d14 hsf.

The next available port I can use is a pcie4 @ 8x.

Will I get away with performance being the same?

TLDR Pcie4 16x vs 8x? (for a 1080ti)

I’m Gaming at 1440p.

Thanks for any advice

Why don't you just try it? Your only other option is to start replacing components.

I don't think even a 2080 Ti would suffer much from being in a PCIe 3.0 x8 slot.
