PCI exp

[lahiru7]

Pci exp means that i can fix two VGA cards! neda, so can i fix two vga cards with two brands, like ati and nvide together, or dx9 card with dx10 card: oo:

What is PCI-E you can google it and know!!

Having PCI doesnt mean you can fix 2 cards in it... your MOBO must have 2 PCI-E x 16 slots to fix 2 VGAs

And if you choose ATI you have to go all the way ATI and only fix another ATI card with Crossfire technology

else if you choose Nvidia add another Nvidia to what they call it SLI technology

You cant mix it!!!

Example

No you can only Connect 1 VGA card . PCI E - means PCI Express .
1 st PCI and it's not speed enough thats why AGP slot came.. now PCI-E and thats speedy than AGP thats the thing man...

1st U must check if your motherboard supports SLI or crossfire.

• If you're going to use two nvidia cards in SLI you can mix brands but both cards must have the same gpu. ( ex : XFX 8600GT with an Asus 8600GT)

• & if you r going to crossfire two ati cards it has to be paired like this \/

  Brands in the sense that... ASUS, HIS, GIGABYTE etc..
  
  But you can't fix ATI and NVIDIA together right!!
  
  I think that's what he is asking!!!

DirectX version will be the same if both are the same gpu.
