Technology Primer
Make sure your motherboard is compatible with the GPU you intend to buy before making a purchase. GPU's may not work with motherboards designed for AGP or PCI video cards. Please read the specifications carefully or call us for expert advice.
PCI Express is technology that is superior to both PCI and AGP. It offers performance as much as 4x faster than the fastest AGP 8X slot. PCI Express connections can support fast data transfer rates, which can be used to connect high-speed devices like the Tesla. The slots come in different variations and speeds, such as x1, x4, x8, and x16. Presently, most high-end motherboards meant for design, video production, or gaming come with PCI Express slots. To use a PCI Express card, your computer must have at least one available PCI Express slot. PCI Express allows large amounts of data to move between the GPU and the CPU. The PCI Express runs at 2.5GHz. PCI Express is a two-way serial connection that carries data in packets along two pairs of point-to-point data lines. PCI Express is compatible with existing PCI drivers and software operating systems and is designed to co-exist with current PCI hardware.
High-performance GPU's provide amazing graphics and computational power in a single package. Manufacturers often emblazon GPU's with high-impact graphics and brilliant colors. These enhance the appeal of the cards. However, manufacturers occasionally change designs and colors. These changes have no effect on the features, specifications, or performance of the GPU's. The GPU images displayed on our website are based on samples provided by the manufacturers. The specific visual design you receive on your GPU may vary from the ones shown here. Therefore, we cannot guarantee that the designs shown on our website are the same as those you receive upon delivery of a GPU.
