Hey, guys. I'm planning on purchasing a Graphic Card. Can someone please explain to me the "memory interface"? I've been looking at GPU specifications, and I don't understand the memory interface, which is usually 256-bit.
What you really need to know is what kind of SLOT is available on your motherboard for a graphics card, AGP or PCIE that will determine your graphics card upgrade unless you plan on getting a new motherboard.
Thanks, man. So basically the memory interface doesn't effect the slot the graphic is suppose to slide into? But, could someone still give me an explanation of what it means?
basically, for the same slot (use AGP 8x for example), a card with a 256-bit memory interface will have better performance than a similar card with 128-bit memory interface (able to access larger chunks of memory at a time). The slot determines the physical fit into your motherboard.
