Hey guys,

Have most of my new build together but waiting for my gpu's atm.
Got the Asus p8z68 deluxe gen3 Mobo and am goign to be sli'ing my gpu's.
I only just saw though that with 2 gpu's it will operate at 8x/8x not 16x/16x as far as I'm aware.
Is this an issue?
Will it bottleneck my gpu's at all?
Any point in looking for Mobo with 16x/16x or are they even available?

New to sli so haven't had to consider this before.

Gpu's will prob be 2xEVGA gtx680 hydro copper cards btw.
 
You should be just fine, you may lose1% performance, but nothing really noticeable
