You cannot plug a x16 graphics card into a x8 slot. You can however, if you wish, plug an x8 card PCIe card into an x16 slot. A p-lane PCIe card will work at some speed in an n-lane PCIe slot, where n > p. This is not true if n < p. So in this situation the card wants 16 lanes but the motherboard can only support 8 For more specific answers though, please post more detailed info such as make and model of hardware
Only if it has the proper keying. Some 8x cards do, but many do not.
No it won't work!
For the most part AGP 8x Cards WILL NOT work with a AGP 4x slot. The motherboard will only supply 1.5 volts of power to the card leaving the other half with no power and will not work properly.
yes
PCI express (commonly referred to as PCIe or PCI-e) have taken existing PCI technology and multiplied it. (1x, 4x, 8x, 16x) PCI-e typically has a 16x or 8x multiplier compared to the original PCI transfer rates.
16x-8x+12 = 78+22 16x-8x = 78+22-12 8x = 88 x = 11
Yes, However it just won't work at full speed.
If you mean: 16x-4y-8x+6y then it is 8x+2y in like terms
age doesnt matter so much as the slot. as long as it has the same slot, it should work. however, an older computer probably will not have the correct slot for a new graphics card some common types of slots are: AGP PCI PCI express 8x PCI express 16x along with many, many older ones
If you have an Agpx8 compatible motherboard you will be able to utilize an agpx8 video card if your mother board only goes to 4x then the 8x graphics card will automatically use the 4x setting 8x meaning more information/data being sent is always better .Agpx4 card will work on x8 slot

16x + 3
