The results seem more logical in that review than some of the results I have seen.

FYI for those of you who have not seen the PCI-E Gen 2.0 bug feast your eyes on this.



Operation @ Gen 1.1 x16 degrades 3dmark Vantage Score by 800 points, and Windows 7 rating by 0.1. (for both graphics scores). It also causes hitches/pausing in STALKER series games and stutter in GTA IV.

Normal operation @ Gen 2.0 on an identical system bar the motherboard (DX38BT as opposed to P5E3) does not have these issues.

Would those be Gen 2.0 x4, etc? if so the performance degradation is not as bad as operation in PCI-E Gen 1.1 mode. I might be wrong, but PCI-E 2.0 x 8 is roughly the equivalent of PCI-E 1.1 x16
