VHDCI interface on video card

[PcGuy34]

I just bought a video card that has VHDCI interface. I never seen that interface type before. I searched Google & Wikipedia but cannot find when the technology was made. It comes with HDMI adapter. Anyone know the video quality on it? Here’s the card VisionTek Radeon HD 5570 DirectX 11 900901 1GB 128-Bit DDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 Small Form Factor (SFF) Video Cards

Hello
I have to say that’s a new one for me to..

@vger. Agreed. I’m confident it’s good for gaming because besides the good specs, it says “ideal for gaming” & it got a good review by I think techradar. Just wanted to know how old the tech is. Has to be okay because a manufacturer is selling it today…

You will never use that interface. That is mostly for SLI configuration talking to other peripheral devices. It’s an extension of the SCSI model.

True, I will never use VHDCI directly but it has an adapter for HDMI. That’s all I need

Yep, that was a new one for me too.

Video card works awesome !!! Graphics much improved over the integrated graphics. It’s a refurbished 2009 Dell OptiPlex 960 I bought for 2007 ish games (mainly Crysis). Dell came w/ XP Pro & a 120GB SSD. Video card draws so little power; kept using the Dell 305 W PSU

Any updates for us?

Nope, but my max resolution inside Crysis game settings is only 1600x900. VisionTek specs say it can do 1900x1200. My monitor is 27" 1080p. What might be my bottleneck?

Thanks for the update.

Is there an update for the video card?
Is the game detecting the card correctly?
Or it may be a compatibility issue with the old game vs new card or with the HDMI adapter.

Yes, the game plays fine with this video card.
Hmm, thanks. Gonna contact VisionTek. Hope I don’t have to return it
