x8/x8 sucks for 4850s in CF. Go for x16/x16 if you can for optimal performance.

Proof? x8 should be more than enough for this card. It gets about 15k in 3dmark06 and just the other day I got 10k on a 4x slot in my bosses computer I built, 8x is double that so its well within the limits as far as I am concerned.
Specs: Q6600 @ 3.65ghz 1.42v / Asus P5Q Deluxe / 2x2gb Mushkin DDR2@810 / PC P&C 750w / 2x ATI 4850 Crossfire @ 710/1050
