Lately, the question arises, whether the video graphics adapter (VGA), laptop / notebook can be upgraded? The answer is no, because basically a laptop that has VGA on-board does not have an additional VGA slot. But in this era of technology as it is now all that could have become possible.
Village Tronic, to a company from Taiwan which are involved in graphics upgrades for laptops offer attractive solutions through its product ViDock 2. Hardware that can be categorized as external VGA chipset provides integrated alternative. ViDock 2 itself is claimed to be able to improve 3D graphics performance up to 700%.
This product uses the Express Card 2.0 technology-based I / O, PCI Express and USB Release 2.0 to be able to transfer data up to 5Gbps, 2 times faster than ViDock 1. With the support of DVI, HDMI and VGU ViDock 2 capable of producing resolution images up to 2560 x 1600 or equivalent 30-inch screen.
Imagine, ViDock 2 can run games that feature rich graphics like Crysis with low settings at 1024 x 768 resolution can walk Wealth 26 frames per second, while the chipset is integrated only at 8 frames per second. With these advantages have been described, we can be sure there is no barrier to playing games or running 3D applications via laptop.
But unfortunately this product is still very difficult to find and if any price is high enough dibanderol. For 1 Unit ViDock 2 video cards including ATI 4670 512MB 128bit DDR3 we have to spend around $ 380.
But not to worry if funding was not sufficient, we can still make their own external VGA, certainly with a much lower cost.
