Does the MSI P6N Diamond 680i operate at 16x w/sli enabled?

Topic says it all, I was under the impression it does now I find out it doesn't?

680i should be x16+x16 on the 2 main slots - why do you think that it doesn't?

ALL 680i Boards run at 16x-16x...or at least they're supposed to. Did someone tell you otherwise?

Nobody told me otherwise, I'm just getting 8x speeds when my second 8800GT is installed and sli is enabled... that's all.

have you got them in the right slots - see the link above?

Yes, thank you for the link that confirmed. My problem is that the bottom white slot despite what GPU-Z says is producing performance similar to an 8x bus.

Still having problems and I'm at a loss now I don't know what to do.

I have seen some instances where people have had this problem and upping the PCI-E bus frequency solved the problem, try 101-105mhz.

I haven't tried this but I will and if it works you'll be my hero!
