Re: PCIE 2.0 and CPU/GPU questions

And I've come across games with minimal difference as well. Heck, sometimes the difference is only a few frames between 2.0 and 4.0. There are plenty of benchmarks to test the bus with, but it doesn't seem to make a big difference with GPUs in the end. And f@h being so random, it's so difficult to r...
