Detailed explanation-1: -PCIe x16: The largest slots on the motherboard, these slots are used for cards that require a high bandwidth like GPUs.
Detailed explanation-2: -AGP will deliver a peak bandwidth that is 4 times higher than the PCI bus using pipelining, sideband addressing, and more data transfers per clock.
Detailed explanation-3: -PCIe Generations and Speed For example, PCIe Gen 3 x1 slots have a bandwidth speed of 1 Gbps, and PCIe Gen 3 x16 has 16 Gbps of connection speed. However, current processors, computers, and motherboards are starting to adopt PCIe Gen 4 architecture with newer applications requiring PCIe Gen 4 performance speeds.
Detailed explanation-4: -Slots 1 and 3 are x16 slots that directly connect to the CPU; they provide the highest performance and should be used first. After that, it’s preferable to connect a card to a slot that has as at least as many lanes as the card.
