PCI-E 1.x bandwidth saturation. Where can I get some reliable information on data transfer rates of graphics cards (i.e. bandwidth)? I have pci-e 1.x (x16) slot and would like to buy a 2.x card, but don't want to buy more card than I have bandwidth, because...

the bandwidth issue with the 4X and 8X AGP Bus, however the 8X AGP bus was designed to eliminate bottle necks in bandwidth in the new faster chipsets. Older computers that do not function at high bandwidths will not see any improvement in performance. The...

so concerned about 128/256bit bus width. 128bit memory clocked at 1GHz has the same amount of bandwidth as 256bit clocked at 500MHz. Why worry that the 4870 is a 256bit card if it has more bandwidth then the GTX series? Just look at the benchmarks for...

previous versions of this game, I have always been disappointed by the limited advantages achieved by adding a better card. But this time, the improvement has been remarkable. I went from a 7900GT-based card to a BFG 8800 GTS OC2 320MB. I'd say that the improvement...

Because you have an SLi mobo, any upgrade should be a seccond card. You will get way more that way than a single different card. But you don't need to upgrade, the GTX 260 is a great card. When the time comes the GTX 260 will be cheap and when you SLi 'em...

it would operate at a lower speed because that slot provides lower bandwidth... As gkay09 said, it offers lower bandwidth, equivalent to a x8 PCI-E 1.1; you probably don't want to use it for graphics, but it would be fine for a RAID card. About graphics bandwidth:...

a bottleneck, could this bottleneck be solved by a pcie 2.0 board even though the 8800GTX’s are pcie 1? or could anyone post a link to a topic explaining graphic card bandwidth? I'm still not 100% sure what’s going on in that department. . So is the...

app card roundup? Germany? Germany, I remember when Tom hit the scene. He instantly made friends with Mike McCreedy (sarcasm folks ;-) I bought a $80 ($70 after rebate) EVGA GeForce 6200 256MB DVI+Analog output card from CircuityCity two weeks ago. This card...
