are current high-end X800 and 6800GT cards actually take advantage of PCI express?

I was under the impression that the current crop of high-end cards didn't really use the full bandwidth of PCI express.

I'm sticking with AGP at least for another two years, and I'd like to hear that the answer is "no," that the current top-end cards really don't use PCI express enough to warrant an upgrade. Is this true?

There may be some theoretical speed advantage, but real-world gaming and 3D app performance is something I don't have proof of yet.

Finally bought a new PSP, but then pushed the demon onto someone else. Jesus.
We have yet to hit the 4x AGP bandwidth ceiling let alone 8x.
