Is there any difference between Graphic Card and Video Card?|||There is no difference, the two are synonyms of each other. However, there are 2 types of graphics: integrated graphics and discrete graphics. Integrated graphics usually isn't referred to as a graphics "card" since it is permanently embedded into the motherboard. Integrated graphics also use system resources, eating into your RAM and CPU resources. On the other hand, there's discrete graphics. Discrete graphics are actual cards that plug into your computer, usually through the AGP, PCI (very slow), or PCIe slot. Everything the card needs is on the card, so it dosn't use your systems resources and slow you down.|||No. A video card, also referred to as a graphics accelerator card, display adapter, graphics card, and numerous other terms.|||No difference
They are just different way of saying the same thing|||no differences between them|||these are same product
no any diffrence between them

Is there something wrong with my video card?
i noticed recently that my all my games have been too slow.
i use to have have games like call of duty 4 , doom 3 and company of heroes run smoothly on my machine and now they're all too slow. even other games are having the same effect.
is there something wrong with my video card?
what could be wrong?
|||If the games are getting choppy,then it could be your video card.you might want to update it.

Is a GeForce 9500GT a good video card?
I am building a Gaming computer is this a good video card?
i am parable going to use a lcd monitor or a no hd tv will there be any problems?|||Only if you don't mind playing at low resolutions/detail levels. Get something closer to the $100 price point and you'll have a much better card.|||Ok ,at least better than my 7300GT T_T|||Not great, but it will be able to handle the last generation of games. Or well designed games...|||from what i've heard anything below 9600 is not considered a gaming card.|||Not for gaming no. At least a Radeon 4670 or the games will run all juddery.

How do I make my Video card advanced without buying one?Can I download one?
I need a video card thats compatible with DirectX9c or DirectX10|||If there was a way I wouldn't have spent $600 USD on my graphic card.|||go to ur video card manufacturer's web site, and download the latest driver, and install it,|||DirectX 9.0c cards are relatively cheap and can handle some of the DX10 games on the market today (with some tweaking). I've seen a Radeon x1950 Pro run Crysis somewhat smoothly, so it is possible. There is no point to buying a DX10 card right now, as most games do not fully utilize its "awesome" potential - games like Crysis in DX10 mode are choppy and the GFX quality is very similar to DX9c.
In my rig, I am running a Radeon HD 3870, but that was because I got it for a steal of a price.

How to find out how much video memory a graphics card is using?
I want to monitor the graphics cards memory to see if i need to upgrade it. Also if there is a why to monitor its GPU that would be useful also. I run both windows and Linux.|||Your graphics card Make (people who make it) will have software on their website that will monitor both. This is the case most of the time, not always, with good brands like Asus, Gigabyte, Nvidia. The software may also tell you the temperature of the GPU and also the fan/s speed (if you have a fan/s). Look up the exact model of your graphics card on Google and go onto the Makers website and go to something like: Downloads, Help and Support, Drivers or whatever looks like it would have software!

What is the best way to install my new video card?
I currently have a Geforce 8800 GTS, and I am upgrading to the Radeon HD 4890. My only real concern is the order in which I do things. Should I first uninstall my Nvidia drivers, then change the graphics cards, then install the ATI drivers? Or, should I change the graphics cards, then uninstall the old drivers and install the new drivers? Thanks!|||Your first instinct was correct:
--Uninstall nVidia drivers
--Remove nVidia card
--Install ATI card
--Boot PC
--Install ATI drivers
That should give you the cleanest install of your new card and drivers.
Enjoy!!|||will not matter either way you do it. you dont even have to unintall the old drivers if you dont want to that way if your new card fails you can just throw your old one backin till it is replace and you wont have to load drivers again for the old card. but i would recoment unistalling any software that loaded with the old card.|||remove the old card and install the new one be careful you don't wont to damage the old or new card with static best bet would to keep one of your arms touching the metal case while working inside the case.

I have a video card driver question?
well, i downloaded a game and when i tried to play it an error message popped up and said "unable to run because your video card drivers are out of date or unsupported. Please make sure you have the latest video card drivers installed".
so does anyone know what i should to??|||Check that your drivers are up to date:
Right click My Computer>properties>Hardware tab, select Device Manager, expand Sound, video and game controllers, right-click the adapter>properites, (write this adapter name down) select Drivers tab, select update (use internet option). After installed you probably need to reboot. If your drivers are up to date, look for a readme file in the game directory or in the game itself or the games website, to determine which video cards are supported.|||goto th manufactors site nd search for drivers|||The video game requires features that your video card doesn't have such as shading, T+L, etc. You can try updating the drivers but you will probably have to buy a better video card to run that game.|||Before you switch drivers, download and install the latest Direct X from Microsoft for your OS version. The Microsoft site tells you how to do it. If you have the latest then the install will tell you. Many times the error message that these game sites send out is due to attempting a direct X command that your system does not support. All they know is that they did not get the response they were looking for, they allways blame the video driver. if you have to download a video driver then do so directly from the vendor of the video card.

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.

But you'll need more RAM (3GB preferably)
The best video card you can get for around $200 is the Radeon 4850 - beats the 8800GTX and with current rebates, costs less!|||Don't bother trying to run crysis. Your computer will end up as so much blue screen.
Seriously, you'll need at least 2gb ram, a core2duo and a 8800GTS to get any decent framerate.|||You don't need a new video card. You need a new computer. Honestly you may be able to install Crysis. But you won't be doing much playing with those kind of specs.|||well i think with your given system your processor and ram will limit your performance regardless of what video card you get.

Is this motherboard/video card/CPU good for gaming?
Im looking for an affordable mother board and video card(s) to run hardcore games on my machine. I built my machine my self, but i want to improve it with a decent mother board (SLI) and 2 video cards good for gaming. im thinking of buying the following motherboard and video cards, but i dont know if theyre good enough to run next gen games on them:

114$
Video cards (2 of them):
Two ZOGIS GeForce 8500 GT 512MB PCI-E ZO85GT-E
219$
(109$ each)
Im gonna fit this board with my pentium 4 proccessor with 3.2 ghz and HT. If anyone knows a better way to configure my gaming machine at an affordable price please let me know. (im mainly looking for info on my motherboard and video card, but if you wanna comment about my proccessor thats fine because im looking for a good AMD proccessor).
Any help would be appreciated.|||The board and processor are great but do NOT go with the 8500 GT's...You would think that since it has a GT at the end of it, that it should be a rocket.

If you are going to upgrade and are tight on cash, the 8600 GTS is the way to go. If money isnt an option, go with the 8800. I went with the 8600 gts and see some difference during game play. I hope this saves you from the time and headache that I went through...|||your processor sounds fine its just the video cards that are a little weak. try puttin in an Nvidia card if not 2 of them. that will make everything run smooth. the dual core will help as well.

What kind of Video Card do I need?
ok so I have a dell, about three years old (no svideo)... I want to be able to watch my videos on my older not hdtv television. I do not want to use the tv permanently- just for home video, backups of movies, etc... I need thorough explanations. anyone out there capable?|||First you need to go to Dell's site and put in you service tag number. That way you can find out what type cards your pc can take. Like pci, agp, pcie. Once you know that info, you can go to Newegg.com and research the cards to find the one you need that fits your slot type. TigerDirect has the same stuff, and ships faster, but costs more.
While not a direct answer, it is the path you need to take!|||id assume its pcie due to the age of the machine. an hd2400 would do it.

While it is a pci-e x16 card, my machine says it has a pci-e x8 slot.

Is this true? Also, if not are there any suggestions for a decent low-price range x8 card?|||You have to mod your PCI-E x8 slot in most cases to fit an x-16 card, and you're correct that it will run on an x8 speed bus. The real problem is finding an x8 card at all, and since rare things are generally expensive, a decent low price x8 card should prove hard to come by.
You should have a standard AGP slot, which would fit this comparable video card:

While it is a pci-e x16 card, my machine says it has a pci-e x8 slot.
I have read several articles saying the card would technically fit, but work at x8 speed.
Is this true? Also, if not are there any suggestions for a decent low-price range x8 card?|||You have to mod your PCI-E x8 slot in most cases to fit an x-16 card, and you're correct that it will run on an x8 speed bus. The real problem is finding an x8 card at all, and since rare things are generally expensive, a decent low price x8 card should prove hard to come by.
You should have a standard AGP slot, which would fit this comparable video card:

Can you replace the Dell Inspiron's 1520 video card and sound card?
I have a Dell Inspiron 1520 laptop and I need to know if you can replace the Mobile Intel(R) 965 Express Chipset Family Video graphics card with a NVIDIA 256MB video card?...... also my sound card i want to be able to record sound directly from my computer without having the audio sound like it's coming from a mic|||(a) No, sorry, laptop video cards are built into the chipset, so they are not upgradeable unless you upgrade the whole main board. Same thing with almost, if not all laptops. Even with Apples iMac it is the same story!
(b) I think what you want is a desktop sound recorder, to record sound that is playing through the actaul computer, not sound from the mic, is this what you want? I can't recommend a good free one, but you might find something useful here:
