5770 xfire

[jimz360]

Hi people
has anyone got any links to P45 board benchmarks running the 5770 in crossfire? Iv got a asus p5q-e motherboard with p45 chipset but all reviews are with X58 boards that have 2 pci-e X16 slots, my board shrinks to 2 pci-e X8 in crossfire, so would like to see a direct comparison
Thanks

Dude trust me, those cards won't even come remotely close to being bottlenecked by 8x8 in xfire. The super high end cards are barely if at all hendered by 8 lanes on the pci-e

5850 shows 1-2% loss from 16x to 8x. There was a benchmark floating around a while back. Just confirming your statement.
