Compute Mark v2 released DX11

I think the UD5 runs at 16/16/8 so the second 5870 will be at x8 which isn't a problem. Doesn't the 5970 effectively run at x8 as its running two 5800 cores through one x16 PCI-e slot?
 
According to Google and Gigabytes site it runs 16x - 8x - 8x as the chipset only has 36 lanes :/
Nah its not, the 5970 uses up all the 16x bandwith but its done in such a way not to suffercate the card. I can get close to 2x 5870 speed with just my 5970.

also 3 seperate cards have the issue of scaling not very well :( thats why i went the 5970 and 5850 side of things as its only 2 cards.
