PCI-e is intentionally designed such that you can fit one card in one slot, even if the number of lanes doesn't match But you can't fit two

Sometimes, a PCIe slot operates with fewer data lanes than the mechanical slot-type indicates For example, sometimes a motherboard manufacturer will use an x16 Consumer hardware is not built for expandability anymore And the CPUChipsets do not have enough available PCIE lanes for this to make much
