Do 8800 series need a 16X PCI-E slot?

The reason I ask this is because in the future if I go SLI my mobo only supports 8X PCI-E. Right now I am running my 7900GT in a 8X slot and it is working fine, not sure if the same will apply to the 8800GTS.
 
ehhhh for how much bandwidth these things are using (i mean it needs 2 freakin sli connectors on the gtx modle so it isnt bandwidht limited on the sli connectors) i would have to say running 2 g80's in sli on a 8x 8x board would yeild some bottlenecking... but a 16x 16x mobo, none.
