You missed the point. No GPU with 5500XT levels of performance should be bottlenecking even Gen3 x8. Even a 2080Ti can only barely do so, and it only looses like 1-2% performance with x8.
But that card has WAY more VRAM, specially VS the 4GB 5500XT models so the need for PCIe communication in VRAM saturation cases doesn't happen as often and thus doesn't become relevant. Not so with the 5500XT 4GB models.
