The 1070Ti's don't have the memory bandwidth so I doubt there would be much difference between PCIe 2.0 x16 and 3.0 x16 in this test.
Maybe not this test, but Passmark is
everything sensitive, so I only get 11K in Passmark.
My regular 1070 paired with my 4790K would get 16K on a good day, 15k average.
Speaking of, I have about $180, any Ivy Bridge or newer you recommend that will beat my X5650? Results for that are on the CPU bench thread.
