According to DigiTimes, ATI Technologies has revised its forecast, and the Canada-based graphics-processor maker now expects PCI Express (PCIe)-enabled graphics cards to account for 25% of the global graphics card market by year-end.

PCIe-enabled graphics cards currently account for less than 10% of graphics card sales in the channel. However, 25-30% of new desktop PCs shipped by PC OEMs include PCIe graphics cards, the sources noted.
