Can you switch your gpu interface to a pci-e 16x from an agp 8x without getting a new motherboard?
No, this is not possible. The chipset on your motherboard controls your interfaces, and if it's programmed to understand AGP instructions, it cannot use PCI express instructions. The chipset is soldered onto the board, and cannot be replaced. Not to mention you can't plug a PCI express card into a AGP port, or a regular PCI port, so you don't even have anyplace to plug the card in. In short, if you must have PCI express, and your motherboard isn't built for it, your only option is to get a new motherboard.
How can you tell if your psu will run a gfx card and whether the card will be compatible with your motherboard?
If you're at least in the 300W range, you can run a lower-spec GPU fine. Generally speaking as long as your computer motherboard supports PCI Express, they are backwards-compatible (but you may not see the benefits of buying a top-of-the-line GPU for a really old computer). If it does not support PCI Express, you will have a difficult time, but not impossible, to find some old VGA or PCI graphics cards on the cheap somewhere.
How do you change GPU?
Take out your side panel of your computer. Find the PCI-Express slot or any slot that you have. Try to take out the graphic card from your motherboard and replace with a new one.
How do you run two graphix cards when you only have one pci express graphix card slot?
You have to have a spare slot on the motherboard, and then get a graphics card that fits it. Likely that'll be PCI, and there are several on the market that'll work fine. For the gaming, though, use the monitor attached to the PCIe card, unless your PCI GPU is just worlds better...
Will pci express 2.0 x 16 graphics card fit with dg41wv Intel mother board?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PCI_Express#PCI_Express_2.0 Yes it should. The PCI Express 2.0 is backwards compatible with the PCI x16 1.0 and 1.1 slot motherboards. However, PCI-e 2.0 cards on 1.1 and 1.0 motherboards will not be able to run at their max capacity.
What type of slot is used for a video card?
Nowadays, a discrete GPU needs a PCI Express x16 slot.
Which gpu should you prefer if you have intel r d865gbf motherboard pentium 4 ht 1750mb ddr1 memory with pci express 1.1 for high end gaming?
You can't have high end gaming on PC with such specifications. In order to have one of high end video card you need to have not only more RAM but also PCI-E 2.0 at least. .
What is the difference between pci express agp pci and sli video cards?
PCI- E, AGP and PCI are the different slots on your motherboard that the graphics card can go into, and different GPUs fit in one of these slots. PCI - E is the fastest port at the moment, so AGP and PCI video cards are declining. All computers have quite a few PCI ports but most modern motherboards have PCI - E ports and not AGP. If you are buying a GPU, you will need to check what ports your motherboard has, so you know it is compatible. SLI is nVidia's dual graphics card system, and only selected motherboards support this. An SLI compatible video card can be used together with another SLI compatible video card in an SLI compatible motherboard.
What is a Expansion Slots?
PCI - Peripheral Component Interconnect Also newer PCI express x16 These are the expansion slots on newer motherboards introduced after AGP was phased out. Commonly used to support the computers GPU (Graphical processing unit) or the Video Card
What is the pci express expansion slot?
Its for expanding that computer's ability. You can add stuff like a tv tuners, sound cards, network card, wireless networking, more ports, video cards, more sata or IDE controllers, etc. Mind you that for video cards is suggested to use pci express x16, or AGP x8 if you have an old motherboard. There are also pci express x1, which can do that same thing as the pci slot, but has a much faster transfer rate.
Is there any new technology for using an external gpu on a laptop that does not have a pci slot?
You can use USB video card, but it might even slower than PCI.
Would the MSI AMD 7850 twin frozr GPU work on a MSI Intel motherboard with a core i3 Would it be compatible?
Yes, it is compatible.
