4870 and bus speed x8 rather than x16 performance hi?

[the_jetsetwilly]

i run 2 cards for surround screen gaming and as a result my PCIE 2.0 x16 bus runs at x8 if i get a 4870 will its performance be reduced beacuse of running at x8 rather than x16?

if so any idea what the performance hit will be? anyone care to test it?

thanks
