Just going to stick a link to this thread here to answer anyones questions about Ivy and PCI-Express Scaling, PCI-Express 1.1 versus PCI-Express 2.0 versus PCI-Express 3.0.
In this review, we test the impact of running the AMD Radeon HD 7970 and the GeForce GTX 680 on Intel Ivy Bridge PCI-Express slots that are electrically PCI-Express x16, x8 and x4. We tested all three generations of the PCI-Express interface: 1.1, 2.0 and 3.0.

I did post this information on the graphics section too but that area of the forums moves so fast it easily gets lost down the forum.
Enjoy the read.
