Umm, because you mentioned regarding the PCIe bus throughput. And if a PCIe device is installed in the PCIe slot, wouldn't it use some of the lanes from the CPU? Sorry, but I'm trying to understand what lanes of CPU i would need to get to meet the bandwidth requirements.

The ones written in the LSI card specs: a PCIe 3.1 x8 in the case of the 9400-16i. Each lane supports up to 8 GT/s, for a grand total of up to 64 GT/s (or 63.01 Gbps). Full duplex.
