Hello All!
(I apologise in advance if my thread was posted in the incorrect section, mods please feel free to move it)
My I'm new to the forum and looking for some assistance with my ageing Sandy Bridge system.
I have an Asus P8Z68-V Pro GEN3 and an i7 2600k. I am looking to buy 2 AMD 280X's and run them in crossfire. I understand that my system has the ability to run PCIe 3.0 but due to my Sandy Bridge CPU it cannot. I ask of you the following;
Can I run both 280X's in 8x 8x in PCIe 2.0?
If I can, will I experience a noticeable bandwidth saturation with mild overclocks?
Besides the GPUs, I will not be running any additional expansion for the foreseeable future. I will probably be upgrading once Broadwell is a thing, but don't want to have my system badly bottlenecked until I do.
Any useful input is welcome.
Regards,
Mike
