gaming is nothing like compute, you cannot compare the two.
no, it is not constantly streaming like video games. if it was, you wouldn't get any gpu acceleration. use stdin mode on a fast hash and you will see what i mean. the host-device transfers add a shitload of overhead, regardless of bus speed. i'd suggest brushing up on your OpenCL.
USB speeds are irrelevant. the USB risers do not actually use USB. they simply make use of the size and flexibility of a USB cable.
no, it's not false. for these purposes, there's not a whole lot of difference in running off a 1x slot than a 16x slot. you can run off of a 1x slot just fine.
