Bit of an odd question I know but does anyone have any thoughts are how badly or not my R9 295X2 would be affected if I tried to run it from a PCI-E 2.0 16x Mechanical but in 8x mode?

I know a lot of people say that running a 280/290 at 8x isn't too bad but for a GPU that is actually 2 GPU's on one PCB I imagine it would be fairly detrimental but not sure how much so.
