A few years ago I remember Asus announcing an external video card utilizing the express card slot. Someone was asking me about getting an external card for gaming so I did some searching for the Asus XG Station and couldn't really find much or more importantly one for sale.

Is the Asus XG Station available yet? and if so where can one be purchased?

Are there any other external video cards for gaming available yet:confused:
 
anything using express card's going to be hopelessly bottlenecked by teh 1x pcie slot anyway. Unless you're upgrading from intel GMA or the like you're not going to see any real benefit.

nVidia does have a workstation GPU that's external.

The high end model has a pair of GTX280-4GB quadros in SLI, only costs ~$10k. :eek:

They actually have USB to DVI "video cards" out there. They are pretty much just an alternative solution to an additional video card to drive an extra monitor.
 
Isnt ATI supposed to have the XGP coming out? Dont know when but would be an option
 
the USB things aren't able to do any sort of full screen video/gaming due to bandwidth limitations. they're the only way to add an extra display to most laptops but they're only really usable for office work.
