No, it's not. PCI-E 1x is compatible with PCI-E x4, x8, x16. PCI-E 4x is compatible with x8, x16 and so on.
All pci X16 2.0 cards are backward compatible.
You cannot use a 2.0 pci express card in a pci express slot because the technology is newer. For example: It would be like putting a playstation 3 game into a playstation 2 console.
Yes PCI express 2.1 is backwards compatible
Yes, Graphic cards PCIe x16 V2.0 compatible ARE fully compatible with PCIe x16.
Yes, PCI Express is designed to be backward compatible. For example, a PCIe 3.0 card can be installed in a PCIe 2.0 slot, and it will work at the lower speed of the slot. However, using a newer card in an older slot may limit performance.
An AGP slot is a post-PCI/pre-PCIx graphic card interface bus. It was a step up from the PCI video cards, but were phased out with the PCIx standard.
There are several different expansion slots that are compatible with video adapter cards. PCI, AGP, and PCI-Express x1 are all formats that are rarely used these days. The most popular format at the moment is PCI-Express x16.

AGP was designed for video controllers only. PCI-E can work with any compatible device.
NO. If you have a pci-x slot, probably it is a server, and you want to upgrade your graphics card, you can buy a PCI card and plug it into your PCI-X slot. It should work probably.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PCI_Express#PCI_Express_2.0 Yes it should. The PCI Express 2.0 is backwards compatible with the PCI x16 1.0 and 1.1 slot motherboards. However, PCI-e 2.0 cards on 1.1 and 1.0 motherboards will not be able to run at their max capacity.
PCI Express was created in 2004.
