Thanks Newt182! I'll look at my motherboard manual for the slot bandwidth 😄

IMO bandwidth doesn't matter in this case.
The phoebus itself is a pci-e 1x-card and will only use 1x-connection even when inserted into a 16x-slot.
I am running mine in a 16x-slot without any problems (or benefits) over a 1x-slot.

If he has 2x GTX 580's running in SLI @ x16 x16 and then adds any other card to a third PCIE slot, his motherboard PCIE slots might go down to x8 x8 x8 and that would affect the performance of his graphics. But it is dependant on the motherboard specs and how many lanes it has for the PCIE slots. Higher end boards will do x16 x16 x16.

Even if one card was running @ 8x you wouldn't even be able to tell just like running a PCI-e 2.0 card in a 1.1 slot.
