A second video card for a Dell XPS 420?

I have a Dell XPS 420 with pretty much maxed out everything, (Of what i could at the time). I currently have a Nvidia GeForce 8800 GT. i am thinking about getting a second video card. 2 questions... 1- do i have to get the same card, 2- is it worth the cost. (My comp runs fine with one, but with the increase in game performances, i think i might eventually need a second card.|||Your computer only has 1 PCI-Express x16 slot so you wouldn't be able to use another video card unless you removed your present one.|||In order to increase your performance down the road you will have to buy the same card. This is because video cards don't normally work together unless connected using SLI. You will have to check if your motherboard supports this.|||Your Dell cannot run SLI as far as I can tell.

Buying A Laptop, Will A 256 Video Card Play PC Games?

I'm buying a Laptop. How much am I giving up using a 256 Video Card rather than a 512 ? I want to play online games and watch lots of video.|||if you are just playing online flash games and watching movies and youtube videos, a 256MB card will be more than enough. i would only recommend stepping up to a 512MB if you plan on doing graphic intensive gaming. in that case, you will need to know more than just how much ram (256MB or 512MB) it is to know how well it will perform.|||i think you should get an 512 mb graphics card

because now a days most of pc games are better in performance

and quality for 512 mb graphics card

and if you are using vista it is better if you opt for 512mb

because vista takes upto 64-128 mb graphics(according to model)|||An quite a bit actually, because graphics cards an processors are the hardest components to upgrade in a laptop(because of specific power an space constraints).

Splash out as much as u can with regards to these 2 components, hard drives an ram can be upgraded later.

Also a good rule of thumb when it comes to this is to buy more than u need, cuz u know in the next 6 - 8 months something else will come out that requires more than what ur current needs are now.

(look at dreambooks they got sweet deals)

Can a cmos battery affect the video card?

my cmos battery died and now my video card is showing garbage even if i enter the bios setup.

thanks|||I have never seen it affect a video card, but there is a first time for everything.

To be sure, you'll need to replace your CMOS battery and then check for video card driver updates. If these 2 things don't improve your video, then a new card may be needed.|||Have you replaced the CMOS battery? You will most likely need to reset your BIOS settings after that. Make sure you have the Display setting for AGP or PCIe for whichever type of card you have.

Need a new video card?

I need a new video card, able to run new games at a decent speed.

The video card must NOT support hdcp or hdmi in any way whatsoever.

The card must be PCI-e 2.0 x16

Where can I find a card that meets these requirements?|||nVidia 9800GT or lower

What new video card do i need?

i have bought a PC game called Portal. i realised i need a new video card because i only have 8mb and i need 128mb.can anyone give me any advice on which video card to get because my computer is quite old.|||Since you computer is old im thinking that you need and AGP because most older PC's have them. Check ATi cards because they are better. Look on tigerdirect.com or newegg.com and type in "AGP graphics card" and then look for one with a 128mb or more memory (512mb is good for nowadays)|||Just about anything you might buy would probably be an improvement, so it's mainly just a question of how much you want to spend. The price range for video cards is huge, from $30 to $6000.

Find a card that is definitely compatible with the slots in your PC, and one that is in your preferred price range, and go with that, and you should be fine. If you are running an old operating system, like Windows 98 or something, make sure the manufacturer of the card has drivers for that OS before you buy it, also.|||Hello!

I suppose that you have only PCI slots, if your computer is old.

You can buy it on ebay, used, like the GeForce MX4000.

Bye! Sorry for bad english, i talk spanish :D

What's a good video card for the next year?

Which of these video cards is a decent investment just for the next one year?

XFX Radeon HD 4770

BFG Geforce GTS 250

Diamond Radeon HD 4850

KEEP in mind that I have a 500W psw (20A+20A on dual 12V) and I play on 1400x900 res (19" lcd)

Thanks!|||Deffo Diamond Radeon HD 4850|||huh?|||I have the BFG Geforce GTS 250, it can play all the newest games (e.g. mw2,GTA4) on the highest settings with no problems and has awesome 1080p blue-ray play back. I love it. Its a grate card for the price.

The GF GTS 250 is 475W so you are good on the PSU too :)

Do i can Conect a video card to my pc ?

Today , i decided to change my video card , opened my pc case , and found 2 things ,

i have a integrated intel Video card , and i have a PCI Express Videocard too ?

Do i can Put a new Video card in my PCI Express slot ?

And do i will be able to choose what videocard use(For games) , if i will conect it.|||Yes you can install a PCI-e video card

Without knowing what machine you have, you need to check that you have an available PCI-e x16 slot, that there is physical room inside the machine for the card you are choosing, and that your power supply has enough Watts and the proper PCI-Express power connectors for the video card you choose.|||Yes you can choose which you use. You're computer will detect which one you are connected to. Just plug your monitor into the one you want to use,and then boot your computer up.

If for some reason it does not detect our you will need to go into your setup program (f1 most likely) and change your settings there. You can disable the integrated video card.

Let me know of you need more help.|||if you've got a PCIe card, you want to connect the VGA, DVI, HDMI to that. otherwise, you're not getting the output from that card.

yes you can take out the old card, and put in a new one! it's easy! just make sure to check and see if the card you're getting has a power connector. if it does you'll need to go out and buy a PCI power adapter.

you cannot choose from any type of software which to use. it all depends on where the cord is coming from.

Is there any where I could find Diamond Radeon 6950PE52GXOC 2048MB GDDR5 PCI-E Video Card a little cheaper?

What is a video card for windows XP?

I got the game Spore and was just got done installing it. when I tried to play it, my computer said the video card was under the min. space. How can I make the space go up? will I have to buy a new video card?|||A video card is a card that enhances graphics some of the newer games require really heavy video cards and to be able to play that game you need a video card that supports that game.

heres an example of a video card

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_card |||it means you have an old pc, and you need to update your video card. get a new 512mb one. i hear they're "wat's hot"|||A good graphics card at the moment on a tight budget would be a 8600GT/9600GT on sale.

Jimmy's answer needs more explanation. 512mb isn't just enough for a card to be "hot". You see 8500GTs with 1GB of memory but they are junk. It depends on the clock speeds, the chip model and more. The memory ties in but not as much. A 8600GT 256mb beats a 8500GT 1GB any day.

Check if your slot is PCI, PCI-E or AGP. If it's PCI-E (fairly recent computer, not one from 10 years ago) then go with 8600GT/9600GT or 8800GT which is a bit more in cost but better.

Also make sure your PSU is adequate.

Good luck!|||A video card is what's putting the graphics on your monitor. Without one you wouldn't see anything.

If you read the error message again you'll, undoubtedly, see that it says your video card is under the minimum specs ... not space. This means that it doesn't have the capabilities needed to play the game.

If you click on the link below, and select Spore from the list of games in the drop down menu, you can allow the site to scan your computer. It will then tell you that these are the following requirements to play Spore:

Video Card

~~~~~~~~

Minimum: 128 MB Video Card, with support for Pixel Shader 2.0 (NVIDIA GeForce FX 5900 [GeForce 6200 for Vista]+ / ATI Radeon 9500+ / Intel 950+)

I'm afraid that if your graphics card doesn't meet these requirements the ONLY way round it is to purchase another video card and replace the one that you're currently using. There's NO way that you can upgrade your present video card to make it better.

I would like to know the best Video Card my PC can run?

I have a Dell Vostro 200 Mini tower (Dekstop) with

- 4Gb Ram,

- Intel Core 2Duo (2.83Ghz)

- Motherboard is a G33M02

- Graphic card I want to change, ATI Radeon HD 3650.

-Power Supply 300 Watt. (might get a better one, 500W to be exact)|||I would suggest a 5750, I run a 5750 perfectly stable on my machine and I have 330w psu right now.|||...wow. Nikhil is an absolute moron unless he just stepped out of a time warp from 2008. Seriously, what the hell are you smoking? If you're this daft then don't post.

In any case, it can technically take any PCIe card that will fit the case and power supply. That being said, a really powerful card is pointless in here, but an upgrade itself is not despite what some other idiots have said. Don't blow a lot of money. Something in the range of a 6750 to a 6870 or so should do the trick without getting bottlenecked too badly by the rest of your system. Just bear in mind that you're never going to get awesome performance out of that thing. It should be good enough to get you by for a while, though.|||It could support pretty much any PCI-e, but it may not be worth it really. Be sure to check that power supply first. Usually there is a label on it that tells you exactly what you have.

Your board is kind of stunted in terms of growth after that. If you want to make the most out of your money, get a graphics card and another one later and run them in SLI/Xfire on your new comp you'll have to buy within another year.|||I don't know why you want a new video card because your processor and motherboard aren't very powerful.

The best video card your PC can run is nVidia Geforce 8800 GTX.

This is the second best video card available now.

The card costs $560 dollars cheapest.|||You'd honestly be better off getting a whole new computer because even if there were a GPU that could fit into your small case, it wouldn't improve your overall performance by much.

I need suggestions on what kind of video card to buy.?

My MAJOR problem is when I play games I get thrown off the game back to the icon page. My comp also stops while I'm typing and I have to start from where it stopped at.(it's stopped twice so far) I know I need a new video card but have no idea what to get. My comp is a dell approx 2yrs old and the current card is:intel(r) 82845g/gl/ge/pe/gv graphics controller. I can spend up to a couple C's but (of course) want to spend as little as possible. Can someone please help me?|||You are currently using an outdated integrated graphics that share memory from system RAM. 82845 chipset supports AGP. Consider an ATI 9600 Pro. It is just a 17 watter, would not stress your power supply. More exciting/faster cards would require a power supply upgrade.|||your game(s) box or even the game(s) FAQ's or tech support should be able to help with the type of card

for the purchase, i suggest www.newegg.com|||A new video card may not help if your computer is crashing. But your onboard video controller is not good for gaming.

Find out if your motherboard has an AGP port or a PCI-express port for the graphics card.

Then go and get a graphics card based upon how much you want to spend.

I recommend:

ATI X1650PRO for around $100

NVIDIA 7600GT (DDR3) for around $130

ATI X1950PRO for $200 ish???

Or get crazy with an NVIDIA 8800 for lots more money.

Have fun!|||Your using integrated graphics, if your pc has a pci-e slot get the X1950 pro.

There is really nothing you can do. It's not a gaming laptop.

Laptops are not like desktops. You can't just add components to make them better.

If you want a gaming laptop, you buy a gaming laptop. That means you pay more money.

Sure... you can purchase a ViDock, and then buy a desktop gaming video card and put it in the ViDock, plug that into your ExpressCard slot, and connect an external monitor to it so you can play good games.... but that means you are no longer portable, since you need to have a desktop monitor to use it. If you follow that route, you might have just as well bought a desktop computer in the first place.

How to use both on board video and video card?

I have a Dell E521, and my friend added a GeForce 7600GT into my computer. The computer runs windows XP. There are currently two monitors hooked up to it. I want to hook up a third monitor to the computer by using the video output on motherboard, is that possible? how can I do it??

thanks!|||Sorry, but that's not possible.

Most (if not all) motherboard BIOS will disable the onboard graphics when a graphics card is detected.

And even if it didn't, Windows only allows one graphics driver to run at any given time.|||You can use multiple video cards on the same system...but the onboard video will be disabled. I use two video cards with dual outputs..4 monitors total. If one is AGP, you will have to set boot order in setup to designate the primary card. Hope this helps...

Can you put a CPU fan on a video card?

i have a bunch of old cpu fans but not video card fans, my cpu fan has 3 wires (yellow, red, black) and my video card has 2 (Red, Black) is there anyway to hook up my cpu fan to my video card, and if so how would i spice the wires|||There are fans built specifically for video cards. Just get a video card cooler that's right for your it. Also, usually, video cards that are meant to be cooled by a fan comes with a fan. It's not necessary to install a fan on your video card if it doesn't come with one, unless of course you are overclocking it.

The black cable is for the ground, yellow is for the +12V and red is +5V. I'm not sure if it's safe to break the connector and hook the red and black wires to the CPU fan. Try looking at computer stores if they have a converter instead.

Looking to upgrade my video card from radeon HD4670?

I'm willing to spend no more than $130 to upgrade from my old Radeon HD4670 that I got a few years ago. What do you have for me? I tend to prefer Radeon cards, but I'm not opposed to nvidia cards.

Specifically, I'd like input from people who have upgraded from the same bargain card. Any input is highly appreciated though! I want to jazz up my comp!|||In that price range, Radeon 5770, hands down.

Lee, the 9800 is not the king. At all. It's old and a bad deal for the money. Just a few bucks more gets you a Radeon 5750, which mops the floor with the 9800. The 5770 is a tad more and beats it even harder. Why the hell do people keep pimping the 9800 series? It's several generations old.

The same goes for the GTS250, albeit to a lesser extent.

The GTX 460 is faster than a 5770, but it's going to be hard to find one for less than $150. DO NOT TRUST REBATES. Consider those gravy on top of whatever price you get if they actually come back to you in less than a year.|||I got an NVIDIA GeForce GTS 250 for like $99 from best buy. It was overclocked with a gig of memory, HD compatible. Very nice for the price. I got it from Best Buy, it was overclocked by a different handler, BFG. Great price, great cooling for overclock. Basically NVIDIA's 9800 GTX card revamped and renamed.|||I agree with Vomit, the 5770 fits the bill here. You might be able to pick up a GTX 460 1GB for about the same price as well, the performance between the two is similar.|||nvidia 9800. king of budget cards. around 100 bucks.

Is this video card good enough?

i really wanted a gaming computer , but since i work at a univeersity they give me a special deal on a dell. It is a dell optiplex gx 745 with a 2.4 ghz processor, 2 gb of ram, 250gb hard drive, but only a 256mb ati radeon x1300 pro video card. i dont know if this will run games solidly, even if i am only a moderate gamer...i play warcraft, counter strike, americas army, btelfield vietnam, and stuff like that. will this video card run smoothly and will the processor make up for it. i was planning befor to get a 7900 or an 8600 gts nvidia or an ati x1950 pro, but this great deal came up and the video card cant be switched|||The Radeon X1300 can handle non-demanding games like the Sims, Warcraft 2/3 & (surprisingly) World of Warcraft quite well, but isn't fast enough for cutting edge 1st-person shooters- you won't get good framerates in those games- these days, the MINIMUM recommended card for titles like is a GeForce 7900 or Radeon X1950 Pro (and preferably an 8600 or 8800 for DX10 support)

Your fast processor (I assume is either a Core 2 Duo or AMD X2) can't make up for that, it's just capable of pumping out data faster than the video card can render it, so you'll have a performance bottleneck until you get a better graphics card.

Unfortunately the deal could prove costly to upgrade later down the line- some Dell models ship with weak power supplies that can't handle the power requirements of high-end PCI-E video cards, and must be replaced if you opt for a midrange to high-end video card. This happened with my Dell Dimension 4700, which came standard with a measly 305W power supply that couldn't support a GeForce 7900GT.

It gets better- the screw mountings on Dell PSUs aren't standard, so off-the shelf ATX power supplies don't fit. Fortunately, you can purchase Dell-specific replacement PSUs from PC Power& Cooling, but that's more expensive than a regular 400-500w power supply NewEgg, CompUSA or a local computer store.

I'm not sure how large of a psu ships standard with the GX745, but I expect it's beefier than the Dimension. I've heard there are two versions of that model, a full-size tower and a smaller mini version. The smaller one can't even accept full-height PCI-E cards without purchasing a riser card from Dell.

So you while you can certainly buy a gaming video card later on, you *might* be stuck having to purchase other upgrades as well.|||the video card you have is ok for playing games but if your a hardcore gamer and what smooth crisp displays in high resoultions then i would recommened getting a 8800 gts or a 8600 gts and these both support direct x10 which will start overtaking direct x9 games in the very near future!|||DONT get a video card in the 8 series unless it is 8800, because under it, the cards are only 128-bit, not good for games, so i would say get in the 7900 series or in the 8800 series.

card and often have slightly different minimum power supply requirements.

How much video can a 1GB scan card hold?

I need to shoot a video a little over 10 minutes, is a 1GB card big enough to use with my digital camera for this?|||Sure 4.5GB = movie = 1.5 hrs

10 minutes= about 1/2 GB I assume not HD|||Hi. Your first answer sounds good. Video is compressed and the number of frames you can capture depends very much on how stable the image is, stable as in not changing. For instance, a video of a person talking while seated with an unmoving background will use much less memory that the same length of movie of the same person while walking outdoors. Make sense? In any event the card will hold just under 1GB. (Some is used for image info and other things.|||For 10 minutes of video, you could even use HD in recording on a one GB card. It's plenty of room.

How do I fix my video card?

The video card (driver?) is broken on my laptop. When I try to do something that requires an up to date driver, it says to update it, but I can't update it because according to my laptop, there is no brand or version or any information about it. One thing that might have caused this is that I removed a corrupted hard drive and inserted a hard drive that I had from a different laptop that had the screen broken. The computer works completely except for that one problem. Any ideas how to fix it?|||Yeah, instead of rambling about tis and tat, and your lappy being dumb as a box of rox and not telling you anything, in a whole paragraph. Then you could have made the effort to put a manufacture and model number as to what laptop you have...

Some older models are hard to find and wont be discovered by using the Windows Driver Updater.

Just go to your Device Manager ( Start-Control Panel-Hardware and Sound and look into the Device Manager for that listed video-graphics card / adapter.

Then just write it down and google the brand and download and install the driver manually.

If that wont work you can try to download and install another video card driver from Intel

INTEL GRAPHICS MEDIA ACCELERATOR http://downloadcenter.intel.com/

Type in your device ( Processor-Chipset ) name and download the right driver.

It might work.|||Download the correct graphics card chip set driver from the laptop manufacturers support website by model number and installed operating system. You do know installing the hard drive from another laptop into it installs a illegal copy of Windows and some of the hardware drivers and utilities may not be the same unless both are the same as to all installed hardware and same exact models.

Go to start, click all programs, click Windows update and click scan for updates and then set your system for auto updates and install this will keep every thing including the drivers up to date.

I have a inspron 6400 and I wanna upgrade my video card... is it possible?

Dell hates its customers apparently :-p|||Hmmm....I use the same laptop model as you :) Before you decide on buying a new graphic card, please check that if you can find ways to speed up the video graphic processing.

You need to check:

1. If you have sufficent RAM. My laptop uses 1GB DDRAM 2.

2. Do you defrag your harddisk. I find it quite useful in speeding up video

3. Do you have too many background program running while you are playing your computer games. You can check it from Task Manger

4. Delete some unuse programs to give your harddisk more virtual memory in order to speed up video

It is indeed possible to upgrade the video graphic cards in laptop:) But, it is hard to find shops selling them!:( You may try to call the Dell agent for help:) For your laptop computer, you also need to upgrade your BIOS:) That can be done by yourself:) You just key in your service tag in the Dell website, and you should find something like BIOS update patches:) I upgrage my own BIOS to version A08 from A06 right now. For the price of your new video card, I can't give you any recommendation because I am from Singapore.

How to choose the best video card?

What would be the best performing (gaming) video card thats compatible with Gigabyte motherboard GA-81945GZME-RH?

How do you choose whether a video card is compatible with your mobo? Does it just depend on the connection (AGP, PCI)?

Mobo: GA-81945GZME-RH

Processor: Pentium D (3.40ghz)

Memory: 2GB

Video slot: PCI Express|||http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Products/Moth…

This seems to be your motherboard.

Motherboard has:

1 PCI Express x 16 slot (x4 bandwidth)

and

3 PCI slots

PCI Express is for your video card (AGP won't fit and PCI video cards are slow). ATI HD 4670 is pretty optimal for your computer, faster cards will be bottlenecked by x4 bandwidth.

The first picture shows a couple of PCI slots and an AGP slot. The second shows a PCI slot, an AGP slot, a PCI-Ex1 slot, and a PCI-E16 slot. I would need you to take a look inside your computer and tell me which ones you have.

Conversely, if you know the make and model of your computer (ie Dell Inspiron 2000), I could just look it up.

In any case:

If you are limited to a PCI slot, there are no good gaming videocards available anymore.

If you have an AGP slot, the best possible videocard you could get is the Radeon 3850 512MB, found here:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as…

If you have PCI-Express, the sky is the limit. Unfortunately, your processor will slow any high end videocard down, so it's not worth spending more than $100. A Radeon 4670 512MB would suffice.

Unlike most games, it's comparatively important to use a 1GB version video card with WoW.

You would also benefit from upgrading to a much higher MHz CPU, even if it was a dual core, rather than a quad. (Your current CPU is 2.2 GHz --too low.)

[Edit,]

I see now your power supply is apparently a Delta DPS-400RB A, with 30A combined available on the +12V rails. That's much better than I expected.

That means you could also run this video card, MSI MSI GeForce GTS250 1GB (2200 MHz), $120,

For future reference, your motherboard is apparently a Foxconn (Bengal) RS780.

http://support.gateway.com/s/MOTHERBD/Sh…

The short answer is, if you want to install a better CPU later, you should replace the motherboard at the same time, like with one of these, Gigabyte GA-MA785GM-US2H (micro ATX, to fit the case, and with DDR2, so you can keep using your current RAM), $80,

my mother board is a fic ktbc51g (google it and look at the lay out), the only thing i upgraded was the ram i aded 1g. i want a new video card but dont know what i can upgrade to.||| Your real problem is the PSU...you need at least 350W for the mid range G-cards, better to get 400-450W and when you play games the cards run hot which means you proably don't have enough cooling either, the higher the memory on the card, the better it will play games. befor you buy any...check the minimum system requirments

on the card (for power).

Without knowing exactly what unit you have and just looking at the mobo(and the fact that you only have one case fan), I'd say that you could go with the 256mb x 8600 GT card...but DON'T get a "silent"

Should I upgrade to: 256MB ATI Radeon HD 3450 -supports DVI,HDMI,VGA Connections ?

|||yea upgrade the RAM it will make it a lot faster. Also get a video card, dont use integrated graphics|||Yes, it's always a good idea to upgrade to more ram. Be sure that the ram is dual channel. No, it's not necessary for some games.

Yes, if you have an integrated video, then you should definitely upgrade. I am not familiar with ATI Radeon to know what card is good. Regardless, coming from integrated video to a card is a step up. Seeing as how it has DVI, VGA, and HDMI connectability, it seems like a good card.|||ram alone wont help much.

i would say go for the 4 gigs. if you have a 32 bit operating system, then your computer cant quite use all 4 gigs but just about.

processor upgrade would def help. maybe a lower end quad core like a Q6600. very popular and great performace. or a E8500. both run about $180, but well worth it.

for a video card i would go with nothing less than something in the 8000 series. i am running a 8800 GT w/512mb of ram and im well over due for an upgrade. but you can find some really nice 9600's around $100. just have to look at the more detailed specs as far as price goes.

remember how much green you put into it is how much performace you're gonna get out.

since your asking this i would think you dont know much about this really.

i use newegg.com for all my buying. they are great prices.

def hit up some local computer stores near you. they can be a lot of help. i love getting questions about gaming at work!

good luck!|||Integrated video cards have their limits performance wise but they are getting as technology advances. . Upgrading to the suggested video card would be more beneficial than upgrading the Ram. Only update the Ram if the games your son is playing starts to freeze while playing.

Do not rely on minimum power supply recommendation. It will just run HOT at FULL LOAD. A higher rated power supply runs cooler and lasts longer.|||I think it is AGP and if it is you can use that video card you will have to upgrade your power supply if you want any thing more than a Geforce 6200.I would upgrade the PSU to a Hiper Type-R than put in a ATI Radeon X1950pro.That will run you about $300(us) with the power supply.I am using a 7900GS KO PCI-E in my gaming computer and i am happy with it.I would say go with a 7900GS in the AGP.You have alot of choices but not as much as PCI-E you may want to upgrade soon if you are going to be gaming.

Can I change the video card in a HP Pavillion or does it have to be the same brand ?

My vid card is dead and I was wondering what options do I have to swapping it out. I have a GeForce 7500 LE card from Nvidia. Thanks all in advance|||you can do any card that fits your slot, your case and PSU. Doesn't matter the brand. Find out your card slot is it PCI-E or AGP. Its most likely PCI-E, and your PSU size and go from there. Most HPs are pretty cramped so most long video cards wouldn't fit it. an NVIDIA 8600GT, or 9500GT or ATI RADEON 3650 are a good choice. Many brands make video cards.|||If your motherboard can handle it, thats all that matters.|||no it doesnt there is only two types of video cards "nvidia" and "ati" , but there are many brands that make them.... u get it? but i recommend any nvidia card . u just have to make sure the type of card slot u have on your motherboard. either PCI (old but still popular) , AGP (newer but oldert ;alright) and PCI express (the new and current)|||So long as the new card fits the video slot that's all that really matters. If you only have PCI slots however, I would suggest that you not waste your money. You won't see enough of a difference to be worth the while. Hopefully you have PCI-E X16 or 2.0X16. If you do then you have a lot more options. AGP cards are cheaper (if you have the slot) but they are about as undesirable as a PCI card. But, if it's compatible with your video slot then it will work. And ATI makes decent cards as well, it's like comparing AMD with Intel. They both have good aspects (ATI and NVIDIA) but there isn't really much of a difference except for a bit of performance and a lot of cost. ATI are cheaper and you can usually get just as much out of them as you can a NVIDIA.

8GB corsair ddr3 ram

I do some gaming but not much. I want a card for around 75 bucks or less, nothing crazy.|||Used is you best bet for that cash.|||I would definitely suggest that you spend less money on that lot, even if you aren't playing many games. Get a Phenom II X4 955, saves a bit of money and it's still a black edition and so on, just has a very slightly lower clock speed (can fix this with some tiny overclocking). I would consider the Asus M4A88T-M/USB3 motherboard, still features USB3 and SATA 6GB/s but is cheaper and so on.

Hardly anyone needs 8GB of RAM at the moment, for most 4GB is fine. For running games, virtual machines, Photoshop, video editing, etc. 4GB is still enough. Just get a 2x2GB kit now and then grab another later if you need more RAM.

Is it worth upgrading my graphics card from 256MB to 512MB. I watch mainly TV and video through my pc?

Is it worth upgrading my graphics card from 256MB to 512MB. I watch mainly TV and video through my pc and browse the internet. I don't play many games. I think you have to pay double the price.|||it really isnt worth it, usually computers use 256 mb of memory for graphics. Using more is just a waste of money. Also, if you want more memory on your graphics card just assign some of the computer memory to the graphics portion. But i have a 256 MB card and it works great for both games and TV or movies. Dont spend your money on greater ones. You wont see the difference.|||yes it is. with a bigger videocard, your computer will work smoother|||No your graphics card is OK you will only need to upgrade if you want to play some of the newer games.|||*no not if that is all you are doing if you were playing games i would say yes|||If the old one works fine, then no.|||If you are watching TV, and just browsing.. No.. Now.. if you plan to upgrade to Vista in the Future.. this might not be the case.. As Vista will require a more robust card to get the additional 3D Capabilities of the Operating System. Frankly, after having been using Vista for the past year, and playing around with the 3D Features, they are mainly Eye Candy, and don't really offer much in productivity improvements. But, that could change as Programmers learn to use the new tools in Vista and make improvements to the software that is out there.

So right now No.. But if you are looking to get into Vista.. Then later down the road, it would be a wise move.|||Is not worth it, even a graphics card with 64 MB (even 32 MB)of memory wold suffice for TV and video. A good TV tunner does the job for better TV quality and a good software player for other video.

As an example I watch TV and video on P III computer at 800 MHZ with 256 MB RAM memory and a GeForce 2 video card with 32 MB of memory. Works just fine.

If you want to record TV shows you must have a good processor (2 GHZ or higher) and at least 256 RAM memory.|||No, there is no need to. Your 6200 is ok for you.|||You don't need a top-end video card unless you're playing high power games. I do, even, and mine is only 256 and is fine. But the GPU (graphics processor) speed is more important than the amount of memory on it. But unless you're having video lag in something you're doing, not really needed.

Is there a way I can enable two monitors and a television simultaneously from the same video card?

PS Windows XP Professional SP2

AMD athlon running at 2.2 GHZ

1 gb ram|||Hi,

Well there is no way around this issue. The chipset will run TV and any other device simultaneously, but ATI specs state "independent refresh rates for any two connected displays"

Personally, I had the exact same situation. At the time I had an AGP Radeon that would display only 1 monitor and 1 TV; to solve this I bought an NVidia PCI adapter with 2 analog VGA out puts and 1 SVideo. Now I have at least 3 displays running at any time and I could do a nice 4 display combination if necessary. If you choose to install another card, I would look at the ATI PCI option because of compatibility issues. I started with a Radeon based Diamond Stealth which was a nightmare, and the NVidia I settled on required too much effort before it worked well. In 2000 I had an early Radeon with a Rage Pro, both authentic ATI and it was so easy and totally compatible.

Anyway, you will see the above quote if you research the ATI specs for your card.

I hope this is helpful and GOOD LUCK!!|||get a second video card

My pc is a Dell Dimension 4700. Thank You.|||Hi,

Unlike one answerer said the graphics card will fit physically into the PC. Your pc has PCI Express 1.0 x16 and the graphics card is PCI Express 2.1 x16 but this is backwards compatible.

As for the power supply, its 305w which will just about run the graphics card (the system requirements say the pc will need at least a 300w power supply), and unlike any other current graphics cards, it only requires the power from the motherboard as opposed to power direct from your computers power supply.

It should run fine, but if you do get crashing on games Blue screens etc, it WILL be down to your power supply and you'll need a more powerful one in this instance.

Hope i've helped :)|||No, as near as I can tell with just a quick browse of the first motherboard shematic that came up for your computer, you do not have the proper slot ( PCI Express 2.1 x16) and I would guess you don't have a strong enough power supply, either.|||Yes. Here are system requirements:

Intel Processor - Core 2 Duo E4600 2.4GHz

AMD Processor - Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 5200+

Nvidia Graphics Card - GeForce GT 240

ATI Graphics Card - Radeon HD 4670 512MB

RAM (Memory) - 2 GB

Hard Disk Space - 6 GB

Direct X - 9

The rest of your computer might not work though. It looks like you may only have a Pentuim 4 and I don't know how much RAM you have

Question about video card. I have onbroad graphic but I brought a avideo card that I plan to install now.?

I heard in the past that I have to disable old video driver or something like that.

Two PCI Express x1

I think that your MB have NVIDIA GeForce 6150 chipset. Manufacturer could be ASUS and for video card you could use PCI Express x16 slot.

Be aware about system power Supply. You must change the PSU to higher wattage: 650W or 750W.|||if you can't figure out that you should go to HP's website then maybe you shouldn't have acomputer|||1 Pci-Express x16

If I have an integrated video card can I still upgrade if I have PCI slots?

I'm new to upgrading computers and I'm unsure if I can even upgrade my video card, because I do have an on board video but several people have said I could delete the drivers and install a new video card in the PCI slot.|||yes but you will have to disable the integrated video card in BIOS so the motherboard knows

you maybe able to use both video cards but it depends on BIOS settings|||PCI? The fastest GPU you could probably get is one of these:

Although, if you have PCI-Express, then you can get up to a Radeon HD 5970 as long as your power supply can handle it.|||Yes, however using AGP or PCI express x16 slots and their respective cards would be much preferable.|||You disable the onboard graphics in the BIOS then install the pci video card.

Upgrading video card on my MacBook Pro 2.33GHz Intel Core 2 duo?

I want to upgrade my current video card from the Radeon X1600, to something (anything) that will give me more than 9 frames per second running GTA IV. I've played with the settings and I'm on the lowest graphic settings there is...

Anyone have suggestions for a new video card that would work with my MacBook Pro 2.33GHz Intel Core 2 duo?|||Good luck replacing a video card in a laptop period - but especially for a Mac.

First, you would have to find a card suitable for a Mac, then a Mac laptop, and can fit into the location that the one you have now fits into. It would also have to take the same connection that yours does now as well.

Basically, it's pretty difficult.

My suggestion would be to not even bother. Especially with alot of decent laptops coming out that won't break the bank, it makes more sense to purchase a laptop for your gaming needs, and keep the MacBook for what it does best - looking awesome and working like a beast.

I'm trying to turn off the video card on my computer please help me!?
