Does this kind of adapter/converter exist??

Last response: in Graphics & Displays

I've been looking at mobile graphics cards lately, and I'm noticing that a lot of them have the same sort of output slot where it connects to the motherboard.

All of these mobile graphics cards below have the same sort of slot interface for connecting to the motherboard.

Does a (whatever that kind of slot those mobile graphics cards are) to PCI-E X16 slot adapter/converter exist?

I know that using a mobile graphics card in a desktop isn't a realistic possibility, but I just wanted to know if a converter of sorts exists to be able to plug these graphics cards into a desktop motherboard?

Not for desktop use, I do remember there being a limited production prototype from Asus or some similar company for AMD/ATI cards that allowed two or three of these to be used in crossfire but nothing exists for Nvdia outside the factory. You are out of luck when it comes to these laptop pci-e graphics cards.

So there IS actually a name for the slot that these graphics cards fit into? Laptop PCI-E?

I just found out that some laptop dedicated graphics card refereed to as "MXM" slot type mobile graphics cards. There's apparently a few types, MXM-I, MXM-II, MXM-III, MXM-HE, and MXM-IV, MXM-A, and MXM-B.

I forget exactly but it is something along those lines. Again for desktop use they are pointless given that you can get cheap but better performing cards for a lot less.

True. It was the computer nerd inside of me that made me want to explore this further :p
