NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 PCI-Express Scaling

Nice, mostly what I would have expected. It's shame that they didn't show if minimums were affected and some SLI results would have also been nice. :)
 
Totally pointless review.

The review is testing the CPU/motherboard not the GTX 1080.

They would have got exactly the same scaling if they were using a Pascal Titan or GTX 1050 Ti.

It would have been more useful if they had done CF and SLI setups as they are different in how they use the PCI-E slots.
 
Not totally pointless at all.

It shows that if I plug a 1080 into my old X58 board with its Gen2 16x slot, it will not be because of the gen2 slot that I loose any performance.

Very useful, thank you for the link.

This is very well known and reviewed to death, there is nothing new in the OP.

So yes it is a totally pointless review.
 
Only time i've noticed performance loss is in SLI with 1080's to be honest 16x/16x vs 16x/8x and 8x/8x. Would have been nice to see in this review.

Not really. It shows that nothing has changed. It dismisses claims that with new cards and games that it makes a difference.

They wont because it is a test of the CPU and motherboard PCI-E slots.

Having said that a 6950X running PCI-E 1.0 will totally destroy a quad core running PCI-E 3.0 in some games online.

If only they highlighted what I posted above instead of going over old ground.
