I have a question about cards being able to use a graphics card that uses PCI Express 16x slot. I'm not too good with computers but how come if you look at the output things located on the metal bar on the bottom of the card they're different and not the same. I don't know what they're called DVI maybe? But yeah I need help to make sure they can all fit in the same type of slot if they say it's a PCI Express 16x enabled card.

Most likely the card you have has an option for DVI output and analog vga out put.

They are both on there for convienience. There are different configs.

Here are some examples:

Dual DVI

DVI + analog

And you can buy connectors to convert, based upon your needs and monitor setup.
Most newer cards include one DVI to dual analog adapter.
