Default Albatron releases nVidia 8 series PCI cards

Quote:
Here we are, in 2008, heading for the PCI Express 3.0 standard and Albatron Technology comes along and claims that millions of integrated motherboards without AGP or PCI Express slots are still produced. OK, you might find a few AGP cards these days, but cards for the old PCI slot? Are there millions of PC owners that haven’t made the jump for PCI-e yet? I find that quite hard to believe. Anyway, Albatron considered that it’s unacceptable to forget about that many potential buyers of discrete graphics cards, so they went ahead and released an array of GeForce 8 series cards designed for the old PCI slot.


PCI Lives!

thats like setting a 350 smallblock on an Amish buggy. there hasnt been a new pci card since the geforce 6200 of 2005-ish. and people wonder why we havent completely rid ourselves of pci...its because companies keep releasing shit for it. although it would be kinda interesting to see my grandma's old AMD K6-II 500mhz try to play HD content with one of these cards

way to go albatron.......

I can see these being popular with miniITX board owners who only have a single PCI slot but don't want to rely on the poor performance of an onboard GPU solution.

may have to pick one up for the MIL's computer... she has a 2 year old lower end Dell that has only PCI slots... no AGP, no PCIe

since I have Vista on there, a batter video card should help out quite a bit.







Thanks HL and Corsair!

Actually there is a market for PCI cards. Like mentioned above propitiatory computers with onboard video that needs an upgrade. Another more obvious use (to me anyways) is multiple displays. Even with two PCI-E ports being common on many motherboards, this still only limits you to 4 displays. With PCI video cards you can expand this to as many PCI slots that you have open.

I use to have a pci video card on hand to use if there was a possible problem with the AGP slot.
