What is the difference between pci-e and pci express x16

PCIe is probably just the generic term for PCI express. There are different speeds, but about all that's used currently is 16x

the tiger direct one is a PCIe x16..if you look at the images of the cards closly you see they have the same connector thingy on the bottom of the card. i think tiger direct just forgot to put x16 in there
also it never secified wether it was x1 or x16 just PCIe
