sorry to create YET another thread in a already excited graphics forum but i wanted to ask about my mother board compatibily with the new 5850 cards
i recently purchased a MSI P55 GD80 mother board with this i shall be adding a i5 750 or a i7 860 (depending which overclocks better)
My aim was to perhaps buy a 5850 now then add another at a later date
ive read the mobo will NOT run 2 x16 lanes but rather 2 x8 lanes ?
will running the two cards in only x8 lanes seriously cripple them ? or would the difference over x16 lanes not be that noticable ?
