Hi! I currently have a Crossfire'd setup of an ASUS Radeon 6950 and a Powercolor Radeon 6950. I had three questions:
1. My motherboard has two 16x slots but they say "(or x8 in MultiGPU setup)". I was just wondering if I had to manually change this setting from 16x to 8x or if it automatically does that. Here's the manual for reference:

2. Does it matter which slot I put my Crossfire bridge on? Both cards have two slots that a bridge can go on. Does it matter which one I put my single bridge on? (I don't have another bridge; I bought the ASUS card from a friend and he didn't have the bridge).
3. In Furmark, when I do a benchmark/burn-in test, it shows my Powercolor card (in the first slot) at 99% usage, but it only shows 80-82% usage for my ASUS card (Second slot). Is this normal?
Thank you in advance, and sorry if these were answered in the FAQ; I couldn't find the answers.
