Abstract

A discrete graphics system (DGS) for executing 3D graphics instructions for a computer system, a DGS unit, and a scalable DGS are disclosed. The discrete graphics system includes a GPU for executing 3D graphics instructions and a DGS system chassis configured to house the GPU. A serial bus connector coupled is to the GPU and the DGS chassis. The serial bus connector is configured to removably connect the DGS and the GPU to the computer system. The GPU of the DGS accesses the computer system via the serial bus connector to execute the 3D graphics instructions for the computer system.
