Would anyone getting this be able to test performance/bottlenecking while the card (single card) is in an 8x PCI-e 2.0 slot or 16x 1.1 slot? I've got a RAID card and my P45 motherboard drops to 8x/8x with both the RAID and GPU cards used so I'd like to see what affect if any the limited speed might have. I'm either going for the 285 or 295 depending on price/performance

Better get the 285 then.
P45 is PCie 2.0, but 8x for a dual GPU = 4x 2.0 per chip = 8x 1.1 per chip = STILL DO NOT WANT.
You'll see a difference, definitely.
I will wait for the actual performance review because $499 is ok with me,
