To be fair though, that MSI board probably cost twice as much as the Gigabyte one, Majesticii.

And we're off-topic now. I'll just pretend no one contributed, least of all me, and let's bring us back on track, shall we?
For the third time, i'm talking 16x4x mode on a SLI/CF system. There is a reason 16x4x boards only have CF. Because the nvidia SLI license isn't free like AMD's crossfire license. Because CF/SLI is shit on 16x4x boards, brands don't purchase the SLI license.
Yeah i know Tetris, but it doesn't help when people don't read and i have to repeat myself. That causes the flooding.
EDIT;
Btw, the 5% is just too average. It varies on the game, and 16x4x can be really crippling at some games.
I've tested it myself back when i had the P7P55D (hacked BIOS for SLI license), swapped to MSI P55-GD80.

The Z77-V LK does 8x8x 3.0 in CF/SLI.

Not my setup, but just spot this on Facebook feature from BF3's Setup Saturday:

Now, isn't that amazing? :O
So glad my motherboard does 8x / 8x PCIE 3.0 , I'm only running one card but, my Noctua DH14 is a bit too big, so I can't actually fit my GPU in the first slot.
That said, it'd just be better if it had a little more space between the CPU socket and the first PCIE slot, an extra cm or 2 would be good.
