Possible x16/x1 crossfire?

[Mixzzz]

So I have seen this question few times and no one can't really answer. So I was thinking if it was possible that you could crossfire(for example 270x or maybe 280x) in 16x/x1 configuration. The GTX 680 seems that it doesn't really suffer from running on a PCI-E 1.1 x4 and from what I understand that should be 2x faster than a PCI-E 2.0 x1. I have seen people to get crossfire in mATX boards but there aren't any. ALSO don't start saying, get a better card as I'm not doing this myself, just interested in it. Would it work if I would use something like THIS. I'm using a GA-78LMT-USB3 which has x16 and x1 slot so I may actually test this(borrow GPU from a friend)... http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/Intel/Ivy_Bridge_PCI-Express_Scaling/6.html

PCIe x4 is 4 times faster than PCIe x1

 

PCIe 2.0 x4 is 8 times faster than PCIe 1.0 x1

PCIe 3.0 x4 is 16 times faster than PCIe 1.0 x1

 

 

Your Motherboard has PCIe 2.0 conform slots.

PCIe 2.0 x16 is 16 times faster than PCIe 2.0 x1

 

I have my doubts, that it would work.

Woops, I meant PCI-E 1.1 x4 is 2 times faster than PCI-E 2.0 x1

Crossfire requires a x4 slot, I think they have somehow locked it to that.

The GPU will work in a x1 slot but you can't use crossfire.
