Can I put a PCI-E x16 gpu in a PCI-E x16 slot?

The CPU feeds those and the first slot all at PCIe There are 24 lanes on the CPU and the remaining 4 lanes go to the chipset at PCIe 4

Although PCIe has twice the bandwidth and data transfer rate of PCI , the real-life performance difference is insignificant The latest

pcie 2 slot As with previous generations, the standard simply doubles the speed that the PCIe slot runs at It now provides about 2GBs per lane

pcie training error slot 1 Hence it should be technically possible to go with a host card in x8 to achievetransport the same bandwidth for a 0 x4
