Product Information

Curious about how PCIe Lanes work and how many you need to support your PC’s workloads? Consider Alex’s Extended Guide To PCIe Lanes. Powerful 500 watt (0.67hp) adjustable-speed brushless DC motor and reversing switch for bi-directional automatic feed and thread cutting For PCIe x16 cards used in smaller PCIe x8 slots, basic compatibility is still maintained… but since not all of the connector is being used and you’re on a slower slot in general, not all of the bandwidth is going to be kept. With the name itself broken down, we can now dive into deeper definitions of PCI Express and PCIe x16. What is PCI Express?

Users who are only using a single x16 card usually don’t need to worry about buying higher-end boards or CPUs for increased lane support. And, yeah— I highly doubt any graphics cards released in the next five years will be saturating the usage of PCIe Gen 6 x16 bandwidth. Are All PCIe x16 Slots The Same? The following table is provided for reference only, so that you know which file name is which WindowsThe main reason PCI Express is the dominant standard for PC expansion cards is that it doubles its bandwidth every generation, making it by far the fastest slot on any motherboard where it happens to be present. All images are for illustrative purposes only. All dimensions are approximate and may vary with manufacturers tolerances. Dimensions contained within product names are approximate, for guidance purposes only. Unless otherwise stated, all measurements are overall including roof overhangs where applicable. Usually, you’ll only see multiple full-size, full-bandwidth PCIe x16 Slots on a higher-end motherboard. In general, PCIe x16 is mostly known for being used with graphics cards. Other PCIe x16 cards tend to be rarer and very workload-specific.

Heavy Duty Storage Cards* — Also usually on servers, some heavy-duty storage setups (like multi-drive RAID setups with lots of high-capacity drives) may be managed by a PCIe x16 RAID card. As mentioned prior, PCI Express is the dominant standard for PC expansion cards and has been since its debut. Alternatively, there may be only a single x16 slot instead of an additional x16 slot on x8 bandwidth. Cuts like these are usually made to make the motherboard cheaper to produce, which is why you see these compromises in budget boards so often. Terms & Conditions apply.

Over the course of PCI Express Gen 3’s life, many advancements were being made in the PC hardware space, including the increasing adoption of SSDs and the removal of legacy ports like PCI. That “PCI” stands for “ Peripheral Component Interconnect” if you’re curious, and there were also a few (very old) non-Express PCI versions before we got PCIe. For PCIe x8 cards used in PCIe x16 slots, there is no downside. Larger slots can support smaller cards without any problems.
