What you should know
Dual Monitor
Technology
Few PC users have ever experienced the huge productivity boost that comes
from using multiple monitors on the same PC. Ironically, many of
today's PC have the capability already installed, and Windows (since 2000)
natively supports dual monitors. Configuring dual monitors is so easy: just use
the second video port (if there are two separate ports installed), or add a
second video card or better yet, a video card that has dual DVI ports.
Then plug in your second monitor, change a couple of simple Windows settings,
and you have double the Windows Desktop. This lets you have your
spreadsheet and email visible at the same time, or PowerPoint and Photoshop.
The combinations are endless. And since most of the overhead is
handled by the video card, there is little significant impact (if any) on
system performance. Dual Monitors is one of the simplest, yet most
amazing productivity boosters you can add to your PC! Optionally, you can use a dual monitor stand and recover your workspace in the process!
PCI
Express - Delivering Dramatically Improved Graphics
Doubling the bandwidth of the AGP 8X graphics bus, the new PCI Express represents
the most profound change to desktop architecture in nearly a decade. PCI
Express replaces AGP, allowing much larger amounts of data to move between
the graphics card and the CPU, and will soon replace PCI expansion slots
as well. The PCI standard allows for a 32-bit bus with a maximum throughput
of 133MB/s. By contrast, PCI Express will run 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, compared to the single parallel data bus of
traditional PCI. Gamers will benefit from an incredible upgrade in video
quality with PCI Express, because it will allow for more powerful video
cards, inspiring developers to create more realistic environments that will
make games come alive with astonishingly lifelike colors and images. Video
enthusiasts will also benefit because PCI Express will accommodate higher-quality
video throughput (amount of data you can send per second). As network television
moves over to HDTV broadcasts, PCI Express positions the PC platform for
integration into the living room, while also allowing for HD video editing
and other bandwidth-intensive tasks. PCI Express is compatible with existing
PCI drivers and software operating systems and is designed to co-exist with
current PCI hardware.
PCI
Express 2.0 - High End Graphics Have Arrived
PCI Express Base 2.0 specification doubles the interconnect bit rate from
2.5 GT/s to 5 GT/s in a seamless and compatible manner. The performance
boost to 5 GT/s is by far the most important feature of the PCI Express
2.0 specifications. It effectively increases the aggregate bandwidth of
a 16-lane link to approximately 16 GB/s. The higher bandwidth will allow
product designers to implement narrower interconnect links to achieve
high performance while reducing cost.
A number
of optimizations and improvements have been made to the protocol and software
layers of the PCI Express architecture in the PCI Express Base 2.0 specification.
These include:
Dynamic
link speed management – to control the speed at which the link is operating
Link bandwidth
notification – to notify software (operating system, device drivers,
etc) of changes in link speed and width
Capability
structure expansion – to expand the control registers to better manage
devices, slots and the interconnect
Access
control services – optional controls to manage peer-peer transactions
Completion
timeout control – to define a required disable mechanism plus related
optional enhancements
Function-level
reset – optional mechanism to reset functions within a device
Power
limit redefinition – to redefine slot power limit values to accommodate
devices that consume higher power
Computer Video Cards
A video card or graphic card is similar to a processor, but is specially designed to control the screen images - or graphics --- on your personal computer. If you love graphics-intensive games or videos, a high quality video card is a must for your PC system. Today’s complex games simply will not perform to their maximum potential if your computer is equipped with an outdated video card. On our site you’ll find a dazzling selection of video cards that will help you achieve the highest levels of graphic performance. Buying a new graphic card for your PC can be daunting. There are many models available and options to consider. However, if you know exactly how you plan to use the card, you can make the process much simpler and choose the best video card for your needs and your budget.
Video Card Categories
The scores of video cards on the market fall into one of three main categories: Hardcore/enthusiast, mainstream and value video cards. The hardcore enthusiast video cards are the highest-end, best-performing graphic cards for 3D gaming and other demanding applications. Mainstream video cards are mid-range products offering good to excellent performance for demanding applications like 3D gaming. Value video cards are used primarily for business and desktop graphics functions, 2D gaming, and very limited 3D gaming as well as specific applications like providing TV output or S-Video output or dual monitor support. Naturally, you’ll pay the most for the high- end cards and the lowest prices for the value video cards.
Before You Buy Make Sure Your Card is Compatible.
Before you purchase a video card you need to make sure your motherboard is compatible
with it. For example, PCI
Express video cards won’t work with motherboards designed only for AGP
or PCI video cards,
and vice versa. Once you’ve determined which type of video card you need, you’re
ready to make your choice. We have a complete selection representing the finest
brands in video cards including XFX,
BFG,
EVGA,
ATI,
Leadtek,
Diablotek,
Diamond
Multimedia, PNY,
HIS and many more. Regardless of whether you’re looking for high-end, mainstream or a value video card, you’ll find the right card to meet your needs right here.
Video Card Designs
Today's high performance video cards
enable amazing graphics, and frequently come emblazoned with high-impact
graphics, or in brilliant colors. These help to enhance the appeal of
the card. However, from time to time, manufacturers do change these
designs and colors, but this has no effect on the features, specifications,
or performance of the specific video card model, and will usually retain the
same manufacturer's model and part number. The images displayed for a
video card are based upon the sample provided by the manufacturer, and the
specific visual design you receive may vary. So remember, while the
card may look cool, it's the specs that matter!
Will Your
Motherboard Support the Video Card You're Purchasing? Here's the Answer...
Before you
buy - make sure your motherboard is compatible with this video card. For
example, PCI Express video cards won't work with motherboards designed
only for AGP or PCI video cards, and vice versa. Please read the specifications
carefully or call us for expert advice.
Close-Up:
PCI, AGP, and PCI-E (PCI Express)
Check
your motherboard and make sure you are purchasing the correct cardbus
type.
There are 3 types of cardbus slots currently available:
PCI, AGP, and PCI Express (PCIe 2.0 is compatible with PCIe slot)
PCI
- The most widely used I/O bus, it provides a shared data path between
the CPU and peripheral controllers, such as network, display, SCSI and
RAID cards. Though limited in terms of performance, they are considered
the best value when you upgrade your video capabilities on a PC. The PCI
interface can be found and used in nearly any motherboard. Click

AGP
- The AGP slot is next in line of higher graphic performance. It was designed
especially for the throughput demands of 3-D graphics. It offers up to
8x improvement over a PCI card, is 32 bits wide and runs at 66 MHz. It
provides a direct connection between the card and memory, and only one
AGP slot is on the motherboard. The motherboard must be equipped with
an AGP bus slot for an AGP card to be compatible.(AGP 1x provided a data
transfer rate of 264 Mbytes/sec. AGP 2x is 528 Mbytes/sec. AGP 4x is 1
Gbyte/sec. AGP 8x is 2 Gbytes/sec.) Click

PCI
Express - PCI Express is the newest technology that
is superior to both PCI and AGP, in terms of graphic performance. 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 such as high-end video cards. 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. Click
