Form Factor & Compatibility
Information on Quadro Plex 2200 S4 and NVS 5100M compatibility with other computer components. Useful when choosing a future computer configuration or upgrading an existing one. For desktop video cards it's interface and bus (motherboard compatibility), additional power connectors (power supply compatibility). For notebook video cards it's notebook size, connection slot and bus, if the video card is inserted into a slot instead of being soldered to the notebook motherboard.
| Interface | PCIe 2.0 x16 | MXM-A (3.0) |
| Length | 522 mm | no data |
VRAM Capacity and Type
