E6300 and Gigabyte 965P-S3 rev 3.3

Ah right, I see, I thought you were saying that it had a x16 and a x8 slot...
There's hardly any to no difference in running x8 and x16 in benchmarks, so I can't see it being a problem...
 
I've asked some 750i owners and they say it runs x16/x16 in SLI... Not that it really matters, as the cards won't even fill the x8 bandwidth.

When we move downward on the block diagram we notice that the MCP is missing a couple PCIe lanes. And hey, not needed as you'll have two PCIe x16 slots, not three and thus plenty of PCIe lanes available. NVIDIA however did want to make your system PCIe 2.0 compliant, so they have inserted a bridge chip called the NV nForce 200 that is responsible for creating 2x x16 PCIe lanes fully compliant with the 2.0 standard.

The new PCie 2.0 standard, brings a boosts to the PCIe interface. The total capacity of the PCI Express 2.0 bus is now 5Gbps, twice the old standard, and an x16 connector will now be able to achieve transfers as high as 16Gbps. It is backwards compatible with PCIe 1.1 cards, making it simple for motherboard manufacturers to transition to it in the future. Cool stuff, yet it's so high-end that at this time you will just not notice a performance difference. The latest G92 graphics cards already have 2.0 compatibility though.

They both run in x16, I don't really want to be paying more money for more USB or LAN ports :rolleyes:

danny i dont know if you would but if you ever decide to sell your CPu cooler let me know.
 
That aint a bad price at all, Sweet! Thanks Shane!

Corey! (if I call his name he may appear!) the 750i does run x16/x16! :P
 
After about 15 minutes of Google, i found the answer. The regular, reference design 750i runs sli at x8/x8.

However, the only 750i that runs x16/x16 is the EVGA 750i FTW, because evga managed to redesign it somehow.

:D:D
