DDR3 tarjetas de gráficos de computadora para PCI Express 2.1 x16

A PCI-E Graphics Card for a Performance Boost

Every desktop and laptop needs a graphics processing unit (GPU) to output an image to the display. Most devices come with a GPU integrated into the motherboard. It shares resources with the CPU, including DIMM, ECC, Non-ECC, and buffered or unbuffered memory modules. However dedicated video cards, like a DDR3 PCI-E 2.1 x16 card, are separate pieces of hardware with their own memory. They are devoted exclusively to handling graphics processing.

Why do I need a PCI-E 2.1 DDR3 Graphics Card?

The biggest benefit of a dedicated graphics card is performance, but there are a number of other benefits to installing a GPU. Some of these benefits are:

  • You will not only experience a noticeable difference with the obvious applications like playing video games, but the increase in graphics performance will also make tasks like processing images in Photoshop smoother and faster.
  • Graphics cards like PCI Express x16 cards normally also offer a wider and more modern variety of video ports than your motherboard. While your motherboard may only have a VGA and DVI port, your graphics card might have those ports plus an HDMI port or even duplicate ports like two DVI ports. This will allow you to easily hook up multiple monitors.

Which PCI Express DDR3 cards can I choose from?

There are a variety of PCI-E DDR3 video cards available. Some of these are the following:

  • Asus GeForce GT 710. This PCI Express 2.1 x16 video card has 2 GB DDR3 SDRAM. The card supports OpenGL 4.4 and DirectX 12.
