Well I'm worried since my second pci-e slot is only 4x that I'm going to kill my second gpu in terms of performance.
Would it be worth my time upgrading to say

Video cards don't even use all of the x16 PCI-E 1.1 bandwidth, they're not even starting to dip into 2.0 territory.

That 4x slot will hurt performance.
