Click to expand... i know that, but i didnt know that it still sticks with 16 lanes. in ur opinion, do u think that the 8800GT can beat the 8800GTS or GTX in some areas of benchmarking because it's PCI-E 2.0 on a PCI-E 2.0 compatible mobo?

Did u OC it? I really want one, i plan on getting one once i have the money.

I Invisible MetalHead Techie Messages 2,912 Location Minnesota Oct 3, 2007 #40 i'm not a big expert, but there's very very little difference between agp 4x and 8x, and from what i hear PCI-E 8x isn't much different than 4x or 16x
