was wondering does the H170 crossfire board I have does anyone know if it does crossfire without going through the chipset?

also I believe it supports 8x/4x or 16x/4x not sure wich from asrocks page looks like 16x/4x

anyways the second graphics card having only 4x speed/lanes however will be crossfire on pcie 3.0 as the 480's and board has pcie 3.0 so given that its 3rd generation pcie will that be fine for crossfire without loosing much performance?
