Do they make video cards with a PCI-E x8 bus slot?

I have a PCI x8 slot on my emachines and i cant figure out if they make video cards for only x16 or if there is x8 video cards|||Basically no.



Graphics Cards are only available in:



PCI Express x16

AGP



PCI Express x16 2.0 is the latest, fastest and most advanced interface, and most new high end graphics cards use this interface. A PCI Express x16 1.0 can be used in a 2.0 slot, but it will not make use of the additional 2.0 features.|||its the same slot just half the speed. you can put a pci-e x16 card in it. you are only gonna get half the pottential speed out of the card
