    I have a P8Z68 Gen3 board and I'm running a 2500K, my question is if I bought a 660ti and didn't upgrade to IB therefore not activating PCIE3, would I be missing out on performance? Or is the bus far far away from being saturated? Cheers guys

    Yeh, there's no way a 660Ti would saturate PCI-E x16. PCI-E 3.0 is more for RAID cards is my understanding... And Intels maths co processors too I suppose
