PCI Express x16 Graphics The GMCH supports an add-in PCI Express discrete graphics card via the PCI Express 2.0 x16 connector as follows: • Supports PCI Express 1.1 frequency of 1.25 GHz resulting in 2.5 Gb/s each direction (500 MB/s total). The maximum theoretical bandwidth on the interface is 4 GB/s in each direction simultaneously, for an aggregate of 8 GB/s when operating in x16 mode. • Supports PCI Express 2.0 frequency of 2.5 GHz resulting in 5.0 Gb/s each direction (1000 MB/s total). The maximum theoretical bandwidth on the interface is 8 GB/s in each direction simultaneously, for an aggregate of 16 GB/s when operating in x16 mode.
