First, I am an avid user of 3 monitors (thinking of upgrading to 6 at some point in the next year or two). My most demanding uses are eyefinity gaming with semi-modern games.
After reviewing as much of the information as I could find I am curious if anyone could point me to a more modern (2013 with current high end graphics cards: 7xxx and GTX 7xx) benchmark showing the difference between sli/xfire with duel x16 PCIe 3.0 and duel x8 PCIe 3.0 motherboards. Most of the information I have found seems to date between 2006 and 2011.
Additionally, with graphics demands increasing... will the smaller bandwidth provided with 2 PCIe x8 slots start to bottle neck 3+ monitor display setups? aka... will the next generation or two of video cards hit a point of seeing a huge lean to duel PCIe x16 3.0 slots over 2 PCIe 3.0 x8s?
Or maybe this will all be resolved with a higher bandwidth technology... PCIe 4.0/ PCIe x32 slots perhaps? (both of these are random thoughts and not based on any released information for either technology ever existing).
