Yes, it's feasible to increase lane capacity by using PCIe switching while accepting a reduction in speed (Gen4 to Gen3). This approach allows better utilization of PCIe Gen4 bandwidth, such as placing two graphics cards into an 8x slot or one card into an 16x slot. As mentioned, the Liquid Element LQD4500 Honey Badger can distribute throughput across the full Gen4 link, delivering significantly higher performance compared to typical setups.

PCIe switches are capable, though they come with a high cost and aren't usually required for typical consumer configurations.

Sure, but for everyday purposes it tends to be costly and not very practical for regular users.
