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
