Biostar Microtech has announced what they say is the world’s first PCI Express (PCIe) 2.0 graphics card, which takes advantage of the 5GT/s bandwidth offered by PCIe 2.0.
The Sigma Gate V8803GT52, which is based on the Nvidia GeForce 8800GT chipset is designed to run with the new PCIe 2.0 bus architecture.
 

According to the company, the card takes only half the space of a typical GeForce 8800GTX model and is barely one slot wide and is fully compatible with existing PCIe motherboards.
 

The Nvidia GeForce 8800GT chip offers 112 stream processors, a 256-bit frame buffer, standard-setting GeForce 8 series features and, a strikingly immersive DirectX 10 gaming experience, stated Biostar.
 

The new card will be available in the US and Europe in early November at a suggested retail price of US$249.
