No performance loss whatsoever. It'll run on the pcie2.0x16 bus as it should. Nor does ATI cards on Nvidia motherboards lose performance.

It's a fine board. Although there are cheaper ones for the same performance. Those two, for example.

I just noticed you mentioned "1 or 2 9800gx2." Keep in mind Intel chipset boards do not support sli, so no quad sli 9800gx2.
