Hello,
What performance hit is there between a PCI Express X16 slot running in X8 versus X16? The MB is set to X8 due to crossfire setup originally (Dell XPS 630I) and I have a single GTX460 card now. Just wondering how much performance I'm losing on that slot.

Thanks.

Here is a comparison with HD5870 http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/AMD/HD_5870_PCI-Expr... not much of a loss.

Thanks for the link. That answers the question for me; no need to replace a perfectly good motherboard.
