Hi people...i have a slight problem.. ihave 2 bfg 280 gtx running in sli...the cards seem fine but when i just checked in everest this is what is says


PCI Express Controller
PCI-E 2.0 x4 port #0 Empty
PCI-E 2.0 x16 port #0 In Use @ x16 (BFG GeForce GTX 280 Video Adapter)
PCI-E 2.0 x16 port #0 In Use @ x8 (BFG GeForce GTX 280 Video Adapter)

why is one of my cards running in x8?I thought that they wer supposed to both run in x16...
