To quantify this: a 4k 60Hz uncompressed video stream needs approximately one lane of PCIe gen4 (though only in one direction, while PCIe has the bandwidth in both directions). So any realistically obtainable resolution and refresh rate will not be a problem for sharing the framebuffer on a GPU with PCIe gen4 x16, but lower-end GPUs often have just x8 and there are even some mobile GPUs with x4 being packaged onto desktop graphics cards now.
