gcwebbyuk Member Joined Nov 25, 2009 Feb 2, 2011 #1 I have succesfully run the SLI Hack on this board with a pair of MSI GTX460 1GBs. However, I say succesfully as it all appears OK, but GPU-Z shows one of the cards as being on an 8x PCI-E bus: Is this normal?

OP gcwebbyuk Member Joined Nov 25, 2009 Feb 3, 2011 Thread Starter #4 Nice one. I don't have a long enough SLI adaptor, have just ordered one. Tested the card in that slot without the SLI and it shows 16x and then back in the previous slot and it shows 8x. Sorted! Will I notice much of an improvement?
