updated with some crysis high and very high benchies

for bottleneck

theres 2 bottlenecks for single card concern.
1. CPU
2. MEM

theres 3 bottlenecks for multi gpu concern
1. CPU
2. MEM
3. PCIE Bandwidth

theres been a debate whether the p45's 8X 8X config compared to a x38 16x 16x pcie 2.0 on the HD4870.. will cause a bottleneck..
so far.. i think not..

Hello bro.. nice results and thanks 4 sharing rclxms.gif

From your statement "Dont see any bottleneck on this board compared to all the x38s and x48's crossfire benchies so far
".. did u mean P45 x8 x8 config performance is good as X38/48 x16 x16 config?

Just wondering coz I'm P45 user too thumbup.gif
