Problems solved by technology

[0005] Due to the high power consumption of high-end graphics cards, the power consumption of existing high-end graphics cards is generally above 300W, and the power provided by traditional PCI slots can no longer meet the needs of high-end graphics cards
At this time, the graphics card of the computer is upgraded and the following problems will exist: (1) because the PCI slot of the common computer motherboard cannot provide the required power for the work of the high-end graphics card, the user needs to upgrade the computer motherboard, and the upgrade of the computer motherboard The cost is relatively high, with users spending nearly 30% of the cost of reconfiguring a new computer to upgrade their computer's motherboard to get a high-end graphics card to work
Therefore, replacing the computer power supply will also greatly increase the user's upgrade cost
[0006] In addition, when users configure new computers, due to the high cost of high-power computer power

Embodiment 1

[0051] In order to overcome the problem of high cost for users to configure high-end graphics cards in the prior art, the present invention proposes a graphics card power supply method to overcome this problem. The power supply method for a graphics card in an embodiment of the present invention includes arranging the graphics card inside a computer case, so that the graphics card obtains power required for operation from an external power supply of the computer case.

[0052] In order to reduce the cost of configuring a high-end graphics card for users, this embodiment does not provide power for the graphics card through the PCI slot of the computer motherboard located inside the computer case and the internal power supply of the computer case. This embodiment improves the existing computer case or graphics card, so that the graphics card does not need to obtain the power required for operation from the PCI slot of the computer motherboard and the internal power supply of the ...

Embodiment 2

[0058] Figure 2A It is a structural diagram of a graphics card power supply using a graphics card power supply method according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. Such as Figure 2A As shown, the graphics card power supply structure of this preferred embodiment includes: the circuit board 101 of the graphics card is provided with a power supply interface 103, and the transformer 202 is connected to the power supply interface 103 through the cable 201 so that the external power is converted into a power supply for the normal operation of the graphics card. Voltage.

[0059] Specifically, the input of the transformer 202 is directly connected to the external power supply, and the specific transformer 202 can be selected according to the voltage and current required by the graphics card during operation. The output of the transformer 202 is connected to the power interface 103 on the graphics card circuit board 101 through the cable 201 . In this way, functio...

Embodiment 3

[0063] Figure 2B It is a structural diagram of a graphics card power supply using a graphics card power supply method according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. Such as Figure 2B As shown, the graphics card power supply structure of this preferred embodiment includes:

[0064] A power interface 103 is provided on the baffle 106 of the graphics card, and the transformer 202 is connected to the power interface 103 so as to convert the external power into a voltage for the normal operation of the graphics card.

[0065] Specifically, this preferred embodiment and Figure 2A The preferred embodiment shown differs in that the location of the graphics card's power connector 103 is changed. The connection between the graphics card and the external power supply is more convenient. In this preferred embodiment, the graphics card manufacturer needs to design the power interface 103 of the graphics card on the bezel 106 of the graphics card when manufacturing the ...

Abstract

The invention discloses a graphic card power supply method. A graphic card is arranged in a computer case. The method comprises a step of acquiring power required for running from an external power supply of the computer case. The invention also discloses a graphic card power supply system. The system comprises the graphic card and the external power supply, wherein the graphic card is arranged in the computer case; and the external power supply is used for providing power for the graphic card and is arranged outside the computer case. Through the graphic card power supply method and system, the problem of high cost for upgrading the graphic card of a computer into a high-end graphic card or configuring the computer with the high-end graphic card by a user can be effectively solved, the cost of configuring the high-end graphic card by the user can be effectively reduced on the premise of bringing the image processing capacity of the high-end graphic card into full effect, and great economical benefits are brought to the user.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of computer hardware, in particular to a graphics card power supply method and system, and a graphics card. Background technique [0002] With the rapid development of computer technology, the update speed of computer software and hardware is getting faster and faster. Users have higher and higher requirements for computer hardware performance. On the premise of saving costs, users can upgrade the computer hardware to improve the performance of the computer used. [0003] Because the effects of computer video and audio playback, image display, game entertainment and other operations are directly proportional to the computer's image processing capabilities, and the performance of the computer's graphics card is a key factor affecting the computer's image processing capabilities. If there is no high-end graphics card with high core frequency, large memory capacity, and fast memory speed, it is impossible for the user's...
