Pretty horrible.
edit: anand concludes "much ado about nothing" but personally I have to disagree. My conclusion: Ati does not immediately gain from PCIe, but Nvidia has a problem in some cases.
I mean: Why to upgrade to PCIe platform if there is no gain and possibly performance may even suffer
edit2: Well, since there is of course the possibility Anand might have made mistakes in measurement, I humbly request anybody with resources and time to make these benchmarking efforts again to see if we get similar results. Without more data my point seems moot. Of course there will be numerous cases where performance difference is close to none but it would be interesting to see if these particular cases can be verified.
