X16/x16/x1 mode

Noob question, but important none the less....I am looking at buying an Asus motherboard, model #P6X58D. This board is set up for Xcrossfire, and 3 way SLI at either (at x16/x8/x8 or x16/x16/x1 mode)

My question is, if I plan on buying two nVidia cards for this motherboard, will they run at x16/x8 or x16/x16?

if just 2 cards they'll run at x16/x16

if just 2 cards they'll run at x16/x16

Thats what I thought....thanks for confirming this for me!

and what happens if I use 2-way SLI and one other card?
Will the SLI cards work both in x16 mode and the third one in x1?
