So while there are six slots on the board here, if you install two graphics cards, you’ll have just two accessible slots to add other cards. In the image above, if you install a gaming graphics card (the vast majority of which are at least two slots tall) in either of the two x16 slots, the shorter x1 slots below them will be blocked. Also know that slot arrangement/spacing is key if installing more than one or two expansion cards.
Note that some PCIe slots may be wired for fewer lanes than the slot length suggests, or have some lanes disabled depending on what other slots or fast drives are installed.
