Where to put the video card
When all the details for your new computer are already purchased, the motherboard and power supply are connected, it's time to connect the remaining components, including the video card.
When buying a video card, be sure toConsult the dealer to make sure it is compatible with your motherboard and the connector on your monitor. A competent consultant will help you choose the device most suitable for your requirements. In modern system units, the standard of PCI-E connectors ("P-C-AI Express") is used. Now the fourth generation of PCI-E is being used. Nowadays practically all computer "stuffing" works on this standard. Older video cards are connected to the AGP slot (AGP) .Please remove the cover from the computer case by unscrewing the screws. Place the system unit sideways on a flat surface. Locate the connector for the video card. It is labeled, as a rule, by PCI-E. Most often, the connector for the video card has a small latch, which must be removed when installing the device. The computer must, of course, be turned off when installing a new graphics card. Otherwise, both the motherboard and the video card will burn. You can also install the video card in a laptop. For this, there are special mobile cards. But in case of emergency it is possible to use an ordinary video card for desktop PCs, using a special adapter. However, the profitability and convenience of such a modification are very doubtful.
