Can someone clarify the requirement for Acorn in relation to PCIE bandwidth? I know the Acorn itself is M.2 but do the GPUs it accelerates have to be on full speed PCIE slots, ie. can Acorn accelerate GPUs that are on 1X risers?

I have AMD and NVIDIA rigs on Asrock BTC 110+ plus boards with various numbers of GPUs on them using 1x risers. This board has has an M.2 slot I can put an Acorn into but I am not clear if the Acorn requires the target GPUs to be on a faster PCIE connection

probably best to join the discord, I believe since every setup is a bit different it's hard to say:    https://discord.gg/jdw8jZB

THX- I am on this forum and Discord and finding it hard to navigate the info. I asked the same question in Discord and was referred to the FAQ, I think I will sit this one out
