Quick PCI-E Question

[Vautnex]

For my motherboard Asrock H81M-HDS, it says on website that it has a x16 and a x1 pci-e slots so can i fit my Asus GTX750Ti OC 2gb ddr5 and asus pce-n53? Confused about the x16 and x1.

The websites for the graphics card says PCI express 3.0 and the wireless card says PCI Express so does it matter that my motherboard only has pci-e 2.0?

Will my cards be running faster if I get another motherboard that is pci e 3.0?

I tested pcie 2.0 and 3.0 and I find it has 0 % different for graphic , for wifi I didn't test yet

 

[Alternative X]

1) The GPU will go into the X16 slot (the long one) and the PCE-N53 can use either the X1 (the short one) or the X16 slot.

2) PCI-E techonology are reverse compatible and PCI-E version will not matter. There will be no significant performance improvements if a PCI-E 3.0 slot is used for the GPU instead of a PCI-E 2.0 slot.
