hi i was wondering if anyone knew how much less performance i would get running x8 or x16 SLI\crossfire and if tis worth the extra cash getting a x16 x2 as opposed to a x8 x2?
 
8x8x vs 16x16 is like 4 to 7 % IMO its not worth the extea money even with 2 HD 5770s xfired you would be maxing most games out, So if your getting 87 fps in a game the 4 to 7 % would be about what 4 fps ? not really a conscern.

Less your trying to max Crysis 8x8x is just fine.
 
It depends on the resolution too,for resolutions like 1920x1200 or lower,there is barely any difference,but on resolutions like 2560x1600 especially with AA/AF,there will be like 5-10% difference(depending on the game)
