HD6970CF with which modbus = bottleneck???

[dudeguzman]

Am I bottlenecking any thing specifically with the PCI espess slots using the below modbus? I will be running a i7-2600 cpu with proper sized power supply.

I will be purchasing a ASUS HD6970 video card (specs below). I will be crossfiring it with another identical card with in weeks.

I don't think it would be the greatest idea to CrossFire triple-slot gfx cards on a mATX motherboard.
