Though Im a little confused about how that all works personally. Crossfire still uses one pcie slot in either 8 or 16 lanes flavors for each card. Since they each use their own, why would crossfire matter? Shouldnt you see the same improvements with one card since they dont share that bandwidth?

What are the differences at 16x/8x?
You are right. we saw similar differences when testing a single card in 8x/16x mode. But there's no real reason to run a single card in 8x mode.
