Question

You are building a gaming computer and you want to install a dedicated graphics card that has a fast gpu and 1gb of memory onboard. you need to make sure that you have the right connector available on your motherboard. what type of connector would be appropriate?

Answer 1

In what world is 1GB of Vram is fast on a GPU? Unless you're trying to watch video in 1080p 30fps 1GB is getting you nowhere. I know i'm getting off topic but the answer is a PCIe cable.

Answer 2

Usually a graphics card would be plugged in manually through a PCI-e express slot on the motherboard. But to give the card enough power (based on how powerful the card is) you would use a 6 pin or an 8 pin power connector.
