dual 16x sli card and pci express question

Hey guys,
I been trying to read up on pci express and it is confusing me.
So you have a SLI board with 2 16x PCI E slots. Now, if you get a
video card that supports 20 pixel pipeline, would that be a waste since
the SLI board only supports up to 16x. Or are these 2 different techonologies?
- Thanks
 
???pipelines are on the chip... pcie is just the interface which the card conects to the mobo... no relationship at all..
 
pipelines have absolutely NO relationship to the PCI-E bandwidth.


Pipelines = pixels processed pre clock

PCI-E bandwitdh = amound of DATA (not pixels) transmitted across the bus
