I know that when pcie 2.0 came out orginally, there was very little performance difference between using a pcie 1.1 slot and using a 2.0 slot - however, as with all such things, graphics performance is on an eternal upward rise, and it has been quite some time since the spec was released.
So the obvious question is:
Is there a performance decrease due to lack of bandwidth if one uses a modern 4870/4890 on an old pcie 1.1 (as is on my P35 chipset)

Shameless reply:
Not unless you are planning to SLI/CF two X2 cards, as far as I know there is still not a single single GPU card that can tax PCI-E 1.0 bandwidth.
