"On paper, the P35 doesn?t appear too much different from the P965 in terms of PCI Express management. The MCH manages 16 lines, which are only attributable to a single peripheral. This is in contrast with the 975x, which can manage 2x8 lines. The second PCI Express x16 port that we find on some motherboards actually uses the ICH?s four PCI Express lines . This of course has a non negligible impact on performances in certain cases, which we will illustrate in three separate tests :"
I am about to build NLE machine w/ Asus P5B-E Plus. Which its x16 slot for GPU and x4 fused or AJA Xena LHE capture card and Avid Liquid Chrome Xe software.
But refer to article above (and a new function of Asus Cross Graphic Impeller CGI to activate CrossFire function by BIOS), I concern about my system will suffer of bandwidth transfer problem in this configuration.
Again from the links:
"The download test logically shows a strong decrease in transfer rate, which however is not divided in four. In x16, we were at 30% of the theoretical transfer rate, and this figure attained 69% in x4."
Any comment???
