The joker in the pack is the revocard, that does some strange stuff to the overall PCIe configuration I have noticed in the past. Not sure with later BIOS updates and sadly I can no longer test as my Revo has moved on to nand heaven.

@ Dartmaul: Why don't you try what I'm trying and see if you get the same result? It would be great if you have any success and please, PLEASE let me/us know if you do get the same result. Of course in your case it would be a: 7970,sound,7970,SSD and hopefully you will get: 16x,1x,16x,4x layout that way your two big video cards can see 16 lanes each and hopefully run at full speed! I don't know if GPU-Z is the best way to tell that the lanes are truly what it says they are but it's worth a shot and I hope that GPU-Z is something I/we can rely on for accurate reporting about the lanes and their TRUE speed.
If anyone can get back to me and let me know what the real story is all about with the RIVE PCI-E layout stuff that would be awesome, any help is greatly appreciated 😉

The only thing that comes to my head as an explain of this fact is that PCI-E v3 is 2 times faster that PCI-E v2.
So the real speed of PCI-E v3 x8 and PCI-E v2 x16 is the same.
And that's the difference between our setups. 7970 supports PCI-E v3 and 590 doesn't.
Anyway, to solve our problem we need some additional info about RIVE PCI-E slots specification. (And probably about PCI-E itself)
