Most likely for dual graphics cards.
A PCI Express, Version 1 high-end video card using PCIe x16 slots.
Yes, but they will not be able to achieve as high bandwidth, so performance may suffer slightly.
A PCIe x16 graphics card will not work in a normal PCI slot. PCIe or PCI Express is a new standard in expansion interfaces. PCIe is physically and electronically incompatible with PCI slots.
Yes, Graphic cards PCIe x16 V2.0 compatible ARE fully compatible with PCIe x16.
Any PCIe x16 V1.0a, V1.1 or V2.0 card. Boom!
A PCI Express, Version 1 high-end video card using PCIe x16 slots.
X1 means 1 lane, X16 means 16 lane, hence has 16 times bandwidth. Each lane is differential signal.
it is a port or a connection for a graphics card. It is the second version of PCI express with a speed of x16. To use a graphics card with this, you will need a PCIe 2.0 x16 port on your motherboard. Most modern motherboards have this.

I believe so. I am researching that atm. I found that if you have an older sli mobo, and you use only one pcie video card, then the mobo might just turn off the 2nd pcie slot. But say you have onboard video and you need to use the 1 pcie slot for like a controller card, or NIC. I have a server with a pcie x16 slot. I am about to put a x1 sata controller in there. So wish me luck!
