Motherboard makers are seemingly upping the pace with the transition to new designs for PCIe graphics card slots, whereby the traditional latch is being phased out in favor of either a button, or an entirely seamless mechanism in the case of Asus.
VideoCardz reports on the proliferation of new motherboards for both AMD’s and Intel’s new 800 series products that do away with the GPU latch, including boards from Asus and MSI just shown off at Gamescom, and likely more to come from ASRock, Biostar, and Gigabyte (who demonstrated similar concepts at Computex, not so long ago).
