7950GX2 owners please help....

[Baraka]

I have recently stuck a 7950GX2 in my P5W DH Deluxe.
Everything is running fine, impressed with performance etc.
3DMark06 = 8260 (stock clocks)

However, I have noticed that the PCIe slot is running @ x8 rather than x16.
Is this normal? Will it effect performance? Can it be changed? :confused: :confused:

Maybe other people could check their systems and let me know....
(CPUZ, Rivatuner, Everest etc. can all be used to check)

I tried playing with the Asus PEG Link settings in the bios but could not get it to change :(

link width says 8x on mine in cpu-z also.... your numbers seem good... so I dont know what is up with that.... I will check it out later ;)
I have the same mobo also... my guess, it does that because there are 2 video cards.... sli ish...

Maybe it spreads both cores evenly over the x16 link.

*Scores seem fine though! :D

OK, thanks for letting me know guys...

So each core must use 8 lanes each ;)

my cpu-z also shows the link width at 8x.......but scores seem good....
