Yes and No. A Graphics Card is another name for Video Card. Graphics Cards (or GPUs for short) are manufactured to more than one expansion slot interface. PCI is one of the oldest, if not first, interfaces for GPUs. Currently, GPUs are being manufactured as PCI-Express x16 interface.
There are also version (revision) 2.0 cards, which are called PCI-Express 2.0 x16. They are all compatible with motherboards that have PCI-Express x16 slots. But to take full advantage of the speed of 2.0 cards, it's recommended to buy a newer motherboard.
