Hey guys, I have a GIGABYTE GA-Z68A-D3H-B3 Mobo ( http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Produ [...] 6813128502 ) and right now I'm using an eVGA GTX 570 HD on the first slot (x16).
I'm wondering, am I going to lose performance (comparing to a Mobo with dual x16 slots) if I get a second card in SLI mode?
Ok, I just saw this video while typing this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NFMzRZqFh-w
What I get from this is: If I put a 2nd videocard on the x8 slot, it will make both of them work as a x8, right? But even though, there is almost no performance loss at all (with GTX 580's).
Thing is, I might be stupid enough to buy two HD 7970 when they come out in January, and they are somewhat more powerful than the GTX 580's in the video. Would I have a have a bigger loss or about the same?
Thanks!
