Hey guys any help here would be appreciated.
I'm looking at a 7970 and a 6870 for mining.
The rig im going to set up, however, is a PCI-e 1.0 16x. Now i know PCI-e is backwards compatible. So PCI-e 1.0 16x is, in terms of bandwidth, the same as PCI-e 2.0 8x. Now my question is, will this effectively half my khash/s compared to the same card running on a 16x PCI-e 2.0?
