No, CGI just optimises the DMI bus for handling lots of highspeed peer-peer writes between the PCI-E 16x and 4x slots. The Blitz literally splits the 16x slot into two 8x slots which has two advantages - more bandwidth for the second card, peer-peer writes can (presumably) happen directly in the crosslinx IC.

There shouldn't be much of a boost in most games, however the ones that gain no performance boost in 16/4 should get one now (a big one). Try COD2, that only likes 8/8 and above.

looks promising... especially the voltage options in bios.. 3.0v for memory hahha thats mad.

ahhhh run for the hills.... that heatpipe is scary. What's the NB temp with and without water?

Immature or not, they score big on 975X. There is obviously a problem with CrossLinx. It doesn't look like P35 will ever be the choice for multiple cards.

Nice board looks really promising!
