I'm not as certain that both x16 slots would give identical performance.
One of them is simply closer to the CPU than the other. It has shorter physical and electrical lengths. Which might translate into lower signal losses or latencies. So I expect that ASUS may have hardwired or firmcoded this slot in a more preferential way ... after all, multi-GPU setups usually put most of the load on the primary GPU anyhow.
But then again ... you can use PCIe extenders and risers, apparently with surprising lengths, and still have little measurable loss in actual performance.
The most comprehensive way to answer this question would be to test both cards, then swap and test again ... lol, the answer would be interesting but this approach sort of defeats the reason you even ask the question.
