Raven Ridge is PCIe x12 (x4 used by the chipset, leaving x8 for the GPU).
If someone has the money to plonk on a 1080Ti, I'd hope they can afford a better CPU. That said, I'd still be curious to see how far the 2200G/2400G can go up on the GPU ladder. None of the places I usually go to have explored that yet. Well, paying $170 for an IGP only to slap a discrete GPU on top right away doesn't make much sense compared to spending roughly the same amount on an 1500X/1600 + GPU.

That's an excellent question. IIRC, a lot of the CPU testing & benchmarks show it on par with the R5 1400/1500X, so you can probably pair it with just about any kind of GPU you want. You're right, though; if you can afford the 1080TI (especially at current prices), you can probably afford a better CPU as well -- & if nothing else, if you really need the extra PCIe lanes, given the same price you'd probably be better off with the R5 1400 than the R5 2400G.
But, I think these form a nice niche for those that want to have out-of-the-box decent gaming performance without having to also shell out for a decent GPU right now.

I do wonder however if there is an option in bios to disable the gpu side of the cpu to open up the extra lanes.

There are no extra lines, the IGP simply replaces the second CCX on the Infinity Fabric.
If the IGP used PCIe 3.0 x8 (8GB/s) to connect to RAM (25+GB/s), the IGP's performance would be horrible due to the PCIe bottleneck and 100+ns of extra latency for every access.

Question Intel Arc A750 for around $190. Is it worth it?
