What is the difference between PCI-ex 2.0 x16 and PCI-ex x16 bus?

if i get video card compatible with PCI-ex x16 bus. . .would it be compatible with 2.0 bus or both?|||Yes, (like other people have said) they are backward-compatible, but if you get 2.0, usually you don't want to put it in a PCI-ex x16 (1.0) bus because you would lose a lot of power that you can't take advantage of. Hope that helps.



I suggest you look at the video(from youtube) in the sources in my answer if you wanna know more about video cards.|||Yes, quick answer: version 1.0 has less bandwidth than 2.0 but they are compatible.|||Yes, it would work. If you bought a 2.0 card though, it must be backward compatible to work with an older slot.
