could you tell the diff between PCIe and AGP8X. it's suppose to be doubled the bandwith, but what do other people think with there PCIe cards?

No, you can't tell the difference.
There is almost no difference between AGP4x and AGP8x.
Also, SLI cards run PCIe 8x on 2 channels (16 split between the 2 cards), and they don't suffer from it.
At the moment, we don't need the extra bandwidth offered by PCIe 16x for graphics cards.
