Well, IIRC it is equal to a full 2.0x16. In that case a 7990 only just starts to get limited by it. I imagine you could even use a 295x2 and not lose many frames.

(All IIRC)

Eight SSDs on a PCI-E 3.0 8x connected LSI controller will do it easily. 🙂

Dual 295x2 cards at 3x 4k. Since the data goes over the pci-e bus it could be an issue.

what about single cards ? can 2.0 16 x or 3.0 8x hande big maxwells ?

It's obviously impossible to say for sure, but most likely.

Pouring water on the motherboard should do the trick? Otherwise, it's probably one of those questions without an answer unless you have really specialized measuring equipment

it is slower than pci express x16 v2.0 cause pci express 3.0 cause 3.0 has that 8b/10b encoding while pci express 2.0 doesn't. So pci express 3.0 x8 is only 80% of pci express 2.0 x16 (with pci 3.0 x16 being 160%).

A poorly optimized game. Graphics programs are tailored to the lowest common denominator as far as bus speeds.
