So what would be most performance increase we should expect form PCIe x16 over PCIe x8, if everything were written/working optimally?

The article was somewhat informative, but it would be nice to know a guesstament as to what would be ideal so that I can see a how close you, and others, think we are to using up the total bandwidth. It would also give me a look into why to push for PCIe2.0. From the article I get the idea that games are currently not using up much of the extra bandwidth that x16 affords them. Also a quick glimpse into why the games are not using up the bandwidth would be nice too, as well as ideas on why and when it will change. Maybe call a couple game designers and get there input.

I guess what I am saying it the article was a bit too narrow.
