Hi,

I have a Gigabyte P67A-UD4-B3 ATX LGA1155 mobo which has a x16 PCI-e slot and a x8 PCI-e slot. I was reading on the manufacturer's website that if I use XFire both will run on x8, so my question is, would it matter which card I put on the x16 or x8 slot? (Both cards are clocked at the same speed)

Also, from which card should I get the video output from?

Thanks!
