Hello all,
I am thinking of buying EVGA NVidia 6800 Ultra PCI-Express
BUT the description explains "PCI-Express compliant ..." smells
like adapter to support the interface but not native support for it
right?
TIA,
Best Regards,
Giovanni |

Compliant, whenever I've seen it used in regards to computer products, means
it fully complies with and supports the relevant standard. So, I wouldn't
worry about it.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ --> >> Stay informed about: native PCI-Express ... how to tell? |

He wasn't talking about PCI, he was talking about PCI _Express_.

Don't worry about it. If it fits in a PCI Express slot then it's got the
necessary support. The performance difference between native PCI Express
and PCI Express implemented with a bridge chip is very small and not
entirely in favor of the native implementation.

Yes and no. The 6800 series has a separate bridge chip die on the same
package as the main GPU.

I believe the only NVIDIA card with a native PCI Express interface on it
is currently the 6600GT, the others use a HSI bridge chip..
