From VFX studios to geological imaging facilities, users place increasingly heavy demands on today's workstations. As applications for high-end graphics proliferate, vendors scramble to produce faster, more capable, and more power-efficient machines. Along with this trend, graphics processing I/O is being put to the test.

PCI Express (PCIe) technology has proven to be a flexible, scalable, and, above all, capable interconnect for graphics performance. PCIe replaced the AGP8X (Accelerated Graphics Port) in all new systems when it launched in 2004, and ACP is nearly gone now from the retail systems upgrade market.

Even so, bandwidth needs in the world of ...
