There have been many comments and bad uninformed advice given out as of late about Motherboards that have one or more PCIE slots running at A 'mere X8, or X4 for that matter. a lot of you are being told that PCIE running at x8 and x4 are useless and with degrade performance by 50% and 75% respectively. this is not at all the case. check out these scaling benches using the two biggest GPU's out there.
