5850 cf

[kal20mx]

I currently own a 4870 1gb. I and I dont wana drop 390$ on a 5870 but I really like the 5850 and I can even cf when the prices come down. The only downside about my mobo is a http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128387R so it will only run at 8x when i cf. Will I see a big performance because of this? I will be upgrading to a 720 x3 and oc very well.

The PII 720 OC will be a great processor. Though there will, of course, be bottlenecking.

Your PCI-E slots running at x8 will not bottleneck the card in any way.

It wont cause a bottleneck since both pcie are pcie 2.0. Now if there standard pcie 1.0 then i would there would be a bottleneck. A pcie 2.0 8x performs like a pcie 1.0 x16

Will It be bottlenecked with a 940 X4?
