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.
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)
