NVIDIA BR02

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
NVIDIA's BR02 chip

NVIDIA's BR02 "High Speed Interconnect" (often abbreviated to "HSI") chip was used in their early PCI Express graphics cards, where it acted as a bridge between the PCI Express connection to the computer and the natively AGP GPU. This allowed NVIDIA to release a PCI Express graphics card without redesigning the graphics card's GPU for the new interface.

NVIDIA has also developed an HSI chip which works in the opposite direction - allowing natively PCI Express graphics card to be released for the AGP interface.
