690 saturate PCIEX16 2

[Deeks]

I am curious if a 690 would saturate a PCI express2 16x slot ?
i have not been able to find even the use of a 680's bandwidth on a pci express2 16x slot either.
any help would be appreciated!

It probably would. Consider each GPU would be getting a PCI-E 2.0 x8 connection which might be a bit constraining on the 680.

Although constraining is relative, I expect a 10-15 fps drop overall, which is not too bad.

nothing has saturated pci-e 2.0 yet, so this is all conjecture.

unless you guys have something to substantiate it
