im wondering if you put any pci-express 2.0 vid card in a regular pci-express slot, will the regular slot limit the cards performance?
example:
8800gt pci-e 2.0 vid card
680i sli mobo with pci-e x16 slots (2)
vs this setup:
8800gt pci-e 2.0 vid card
unknown mobo that supports sli with 2x pci-e 2.0 slots
i looked and looked for an sli mobo that had 2x pci-e slots and i only found 1, it was 780i sli mobo but that mobo states its for 3way sli, but it only has 2x pci-e 2.0 slots and 1x pci-e 16x slot.
are we just in a funky time where the mobos havnt kept up with the cards?
