Hey guys, found this thread the other day and am curious about the PCIe bottleneck thing you guys are talking about. I am thinking of upgrading my X58 rig and I'm not sure whether to get X79 or Z77.
I plan to upgrade to 2 or 3 GTX 680s later on and was wondering about this PCIe 3.0 bottleneck thing. I've currently got 3 screens in surround at 5760 x 1200, would Z77 be a bottleneck for this if I used 2 cards with PCIe 3.0 x8 x8? How about the Z77 MBs with the PLX chip that can do PCIe 3.0 3way SLI at x16 x8 x8?
Is this PCIe bottleneck thing mainly for 3 - 4 cards or does it affect even 2 cards in Surround resolutions?
