Overall, if you made a card fit in a 4x slot, it would not be that big of a performance decrease.
Here are some real world benchmarks for you:

PCI-E 1.0/1.1/2.0 have VERY close performance hits. 2% at it's maximum and about 500 more marks in 3dmark 06. Something like GTX295 will have a little bigger hit like >10%. In crossfire and sli configuartions pci-e 1.0/1.1/2.0 has a pretty large impact on performance however.

your right, usually i dont get in depth enough and really explain my point of view, ill try harder bud.
the 9600GT in a pci-e 4x slot @ 1.1 vs 16x @ 1.1 seemed quite a bit worse off, later on i have had it in a pci-e 8x @ 2.0 slot and it seemed perfectly fine, which seems reasonable given it should equate to pci-e 16x @ 1.1
so now a question i use my GTX 295 in a pci-e 16x @ 1.1 slot and it seems fine, i know that those 2 GPU's together could probably benefit from more bandwidth.... but my vantage score is still P22k with a Q6600 @ 3.2, which seems right in line with benchmarks... (given the card is overclocked too)
thoughts?
