Hey guys!

I've got a question. i'm running a GTX 760 on 8x lanes atm. If i would put it on 16x (its on the 2nd slot atm due to my case being to small lolz!) Will i notice any improvement in games? Or what is the difference between 16x & 8x ?

Thanks!

Maybe if it was Pci-e 2.0 and you went from x8 to x16 you might see some improvement but with Pci-e 3.0 being a vast improvement over 2.0 going from x8 to x16 on Pci-e 3.0 might not be an improvement. When you go with SLI on a z87 chipset your slots are at x8 each so that means that x8 can handle what ever the card throws at it otherwise it make no sense to go with SLI and run two cards at x8 when you can run one card at x16.
