PCIe vs pci ?

[nomnom123qwe]

whats the difference both says running at x16 3.0 or 2.0 ?

 

i think both will support new gpus

PCI Express 3.0 enables double bandwidth compared to 2.0 which is useful for compute tasks. Gaming isn't really affected. All PCI Express revisions and sizes are intercompatible.

 

PCI (non-E) is something super old and completely different which is not compatible in any way with PCI Express (PCIe).

If your 7870 fits in the slot, it's PCI Express, not PCI.

yes, 2.0 16x right?

Pci is 32bit and a max of 266MB/s. Pcie 3.0 16x has a max of 15.75GB/s. So theres ur difference right there

well if u would look H61M-CS  vs GA-H61M-S 

 

gigabyte one says just pci x16 thats what made me think something is different

Yeah, PCI is just PCI, it doesn't have x16, x8 etc. Only PCI Express has that. That is a PCI Express 2.0 x16 slot on that motherboard.
