@MpG & 3oh6
I was just reading the X58 SLI review, and I was so excited to see the results of x16/x16 vs. x16/x8 that I pretty much skipped right ahead to it. I was actually surprised that 2x16 slots actually showed very little, if any improvement, vs x16/x8, or even 2x8! Perhaps it's because the video cards simply don't need all that bandwidth/throughput yet, maybe in future video card models (like GTX295, GTX350
) we might see the PCI-E maxed out a bit, and the difference between number of lanes might make a difference. Until now, I'm shan't fret over wether I have enough bandwidth, and no-one should!
Also, 3oh6, I'd just like to thank you for the review, I thought that every aspect of it was thoroughly covered, and I especially liked that you took the extra time to test it with 2x16 SLI, X16/X8 SLI, and 2x8 SLI. Thanks to your review, I have no doubts that I bought the right board for my i7 setup
. Now if only that dang RAM would arrive...
