I thought it was 16x, and 4x? Does the 16x slot drop to 8x when in CF?

i had to go re look this up, cause the last time i read about this it was 8/4x. im seeing that its 16x on the first one and 4x on the second.
what i find interesting during my search is just how much of a difference there wasnt for p35 was at 16x4 vs 975 @8/8x.

this should hold true for NV sli on intel boards then but i dont see how NV using a 8x/8x board claims that a 16x/4x setup is slower. i mean we have no hard numbers cause NV wont give us the chance to find out.

no, it will be about the same depending on the board. the one draw back on p35 is the 4x for the second slot. though there is no mid range ati/amd chipset for CF for intel cpus. they are only in the high end boards cost still about 250-275.

nothing to be bummed about did you see the number they got of the 2900xt setup in CF in my link?
