I was personally interested if you fed the 7950 more bandwidth from the PCI-e slot if you would get more bang for buck than just overclocking the CPU, but seems you don't wanna do that!

I am not unwilling to test your hypotheses, bust based on this review it seems pointless. PCI-e 2.0 doesn't restrict the performance of my gpu. Even at double bandwidth ( PCI-e 3.0 ) the performance increase is very small to nonexistent.

it makes a big difference at higher resolutions.
I run at 6080x1080 and i get 1550 in heaven benchmark with pcie2 but score 2100 with pcie3 enabled, No other changes whatsoever

Finally back to Crossfire!

And now managed to enter bios and Set to PCi-E Gen 2x

But i don't really see the difference. So either AMD is not really hit only Nvidia , or that only comes with Tri(quad)-SLI/fire

Crossfire: 2.0 vs 3.0








And in Eyefinity












P.S here the whole album with all pics.
