You do not have PCI-X, you have PCI-E...they're 2 completely different things.

Did you install the motherboard chipset drivers & the latest drivers for your video card?

If your mobo runs SLI at 8X,you would have like 15% performance decrease wich is not much but it counts.If it's a 2x16 SLI make sure you have the latest drivers instaled because the motherboard auto detects SLI video setups
