A PCIe riser on paper won't affect the speed of the card in regards to password cracking. You aren't even filling up the 1x with that much data. In reality, however, the quality of the riser will greatly affect the data transmitted over it. And a majority of what they sell for coin mining is crap. If you got one of those, you are probably in for a world of hurt.
These days, it's generally recommended not to use risers, although you can if they are of sufficient quality.
(It may also be worth mentioning, shorter cables are better).
can you run the oclhashcat benchmark mode and see the same performance degradation?
