I have a pc graphics and console graphics!!?

alright so here the deal im confused. y does pc have so many graphics card that have amazing specs that top ps3 graphics specs by like 3-3.5 times!!! shouldnt the games on pc look like computer animated movies?? more realistic, fluid, more detailed and other junk. why is that? does the card make everything else look better and hd or something??

heres proof of stats

ps3

http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/18/plays...

nvidia

http://www.nvidia.com/object/graphics_ca...

please explain these thing to me bcus im not that smart when i comes to technology think thank you

I have a pc graphics and console graphics!!?

haha, so i dont really understand what you're asking. okay, the graphics card in a ps3 is a nvidia rsx video card.. and it's core clock is 550mhz, that means its GPU runs at 550MHz, but its CPU is a 3.2GHz processor from IBM. the ps3's GPU is able to project up to 1080 progressive lines, that's what it's capable of as stated on the source.

where you're looking at for the nvidia gpu site isnt really good, since nvidia only manufactuers the GPU's, not the cards. most gpu's made from nvidia aren't that great. well, for my computer, i run on a nvidia 7300GT, it has a core clock of around 350MHz, and your video card has its own ram to use, in my case its 256mb, which is the same as your ps3. the ps3 has 256mb of GDDR3 VRAM, and 256mb of ram in the main circuit board of the ps3.

actually, your ps3's graphics are much better than many computer's graphics card, because of the core clock...

well, nvidia makes a wide variety of video cards for end user to use so that way people that want to buy those video cards have a choice. but when you're buying a ps3, its not like you're going to choose what kind of video card you're going to have in your ps3 really....

so really, ps3's graphics IS better than mine computer's graphics, at least.

Remote Desktop doesn't display video graphics?

i play a high-end 3D graphics game in a window on my gaming machine.

I use my laptop to "remote" into it and it shows my screen and I have control, great. But it won't show the graphics in the window. Is there a way to view the graphics by selecting an option in my remote software (dameware) or do i have to set my gaming machine to route graphics through onboard resources instead of my graphics card?

i don't care if it's laggy, as long as it can get 1 FPS at least.

Remote Desktop doesn't display video graphics?

3D remoting is purportedly a DX10 feature, but no earlier versions support that.

Remote Desktop doesn't display video graphics?

VNC or remote control software will not display graphics from a 3d game sorry.

Remote Desktop doesn't display video graphics?

No remote desktop software can support 3D graphics, or the playing of movies. The way it has to handle the transmissions to keep a consistent connection makes this impossible.

Do the graphics of and old ps2 differ from the new ps2?

I have an old ps2 that i just got from my friend. After watching game play videos from the internet, i am still having trouble deciphering witch has better graphics (the old, or the new ps2.)

one example would be the DBZ tenkaichi 2 which is one of the games i've seen with intense graphics. does this game's graphics differ from the old and new ps2??

Do the graphics of and old ps2 differ from the new ps2?

There is no difference. The only difference is that the old PS2 has the capability of adding a hard disk drive. Other than that, they are both pretty much the same.

Do the graphics of and old ps2 differ from the new ps2?

are you sure bout that? Bcoz i owned an old ps2 and i had compared it with a fren who owns a new one. The graphic is rather similar. I don't think there's a different in terms of the graphic. perhaps just the size.

Do the graphics of and old ps2 differ from the new ps2?

no, the graphics are still the same.

they both use the emotion engine

PES 2008 Graphics on PC, same as 360 ? Or do they sort of do PS2 job with PES 5 graphics?

Right, I have a 360 but its got the 3 red lights of doom. But I have a decent PC that can can fulfill the requirements of the game. Are the graphics going to be similar to 360 graphics or is it going to be a lot worse. Watched the video's of PES 2008 on 360 looks good, please be same on PC!!!

PES 2008 Graphics on PC, same as 360 ? Or do they sort of do PS2 job with PES 5 graphics?

Well not sure but yeah you're probably right. Although PES is gonna be amazing!

PES 2008 Graphics on PC, same as 360 ? Or do they sort of do PS2 job with PES 5 graphics?

No way! unless you have a PC like the 360 ie.

Graphics card problem geforce 6100?

Ok I have a GeForce 6100 graphics card from nvidia and I think it might be messed up. When I'm in any window(IE, word, ect) stuff will flicker onto the screen(my original window is always there but the stuff flickers on top of it)

Also if I'm playing any type of game my fps is really low...it might load a frame every 2 seconds or so.

I opened my tower case to clean it out(in case that might have been what was wrong) and there was a cable that wasn't plugged into anything, but I don't know what it is coming out of or what it goes to(im not that good with computer hardware).

So, anyone know what my problem is and if it has to do with that cable?

It also takes me 6 or 7 times to turn the computer on. It looks like it will start(fans and lights come on) but nothing ever comes up on the monitor. I don't know if this has anything to do with the graphics problems but its really bothering me.

Graphics card problem geforce 6100?

That picture is too small for me to be able to help you much. Could you describe the cable? (i.e. how many pins and such?)

I CAN tell you that it's a power cable, and probably doesn't need to be plugged into anything if it isn't already (otherwise something would not be working at all).

As far as your flickering, you might need to download new drivers for the card: http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp_169.2...

And your FPS is low in games because that's a rock-bottom performance budget card. I wouldn't expect to play anything remotely 3D at a high framerate.

Edit: you should have help via my e-mails now, but I have some advice: CPU does not mean "computer." The CPU is actually a specific part of your computer, namely the processor (it stands for central processing unit).

Graphics card problem geforce 6100?

Sounds like a PSU problem, you sure your feeding enough juice in your PC? Its either that (which I doubt) OR you should get a new video card. Try borrowing a low end PCI-Express video card from your friends or buying one. Your low FPS are a result of a cruddy video card which is integrated onto your motherboard. Get a new videocard - you'll thank yourself later on =D

Do i need a graphics card with direct x and what does direct x do?

I need to know if i need a graphics card with direct x and what does direct x do? All i know about direct x is that it is something about enhancing graphics. So i downloaded direct x. Can i play video game demos like cod4 demo and will it make my graphics better? For some reason i got some demos of games to see if they were cool and then they didnt accept direct x! So i need to know what it is and what it does. and does it give you any viruses? PLEASE I NEED HELP AND I WAS JUST CRYING CAUSE I NEED TO PLAY VIDEO GAMES!!!! AND PLZ LET ME KNOW IF I NEED A GRAPHICS CARD WITH IT PLZ!!!!!

Do i need a graphics card with direct x and what does direct x do?

all graphics cards include a direct x. the newer ones have direct x 10 on them. you can play almost all games with 9 too.

Do i need a graphics card with direct x and what does direct x do?

lol, you HAVE got a graphics card and all you need to do is get an update of direct x which comes with any decent game you buy. But if your computer is really old, you are going to have to get a new graphics card (updated) and replace it with your current one. But this probably will slow down your computer.

Do i need a graphics card with direct x and what does direct x do?

You can only get Direct X10 through Windows Vista. Yes, the graphics do look better on Direct X10 than DirectX9. DirectX9 can handle COD4. To find out which version you have to click the start menu%26gt;run%26gt;dxdiag%26gt;then you see which versions you have. The important thing is your GPU. To find your GPU click control panel%26gt;system%26gt;device manager%26gt; display adapters. Then go NVIDIA's website to see if your graphics card support Direct X10. If it can support Direct X10 that means you can play the game fine. Look at the recommended system requirements at IGN.com

Do i need a graphics card with direct x and what does direct x do?

it may be your computer it might not have a good enough graphics card, its real hard to play games on computers these days with system requirements and stuff. Some computers just arent made to play games on. And yes, you need direct X to play those games. a decent gaming computer might be alotta money too. look at the system requirements on the cod4 box then see what your comp doesnt have and then you might have an idea of whats wrong.

Do i need a graphics card with direct x and what does direct x do?

Direct x wont give you a virus you down load it from Microsoft. Most games require it to run the game. Its a software. Direct x is a program that allows graphics to look better in game however most video cards are compatible with direct X

. Most newer games will have direct x on the disk and will ask you if you need to install it.

When you buy a game you need to make sure that your computer can play the game, its called system specifications. They must be compatible.

Do i need a graphics card with direct x and what does direct x do?

DirectX is a collection of software libraries provided by Microsoft that provides an unified "platform" for games to use for their graphics and sounds.

Many games will require a specific version of DirectX in order for it to work. A newer version is OK as well. DirectX can be downloaded directly from Microsoft's website (http://microsoft.com) just search for "DirectX" and the first link should be to allow you to download DirectX. The latest version of DirectX is 9.0c for all versions of Windows, except for Vista. Vista uses DirectX 10. Most games will work with either DirectX 9 or 10, however a small and growing group of games are appearing that will only work with DirectX 10, so be sure to check those system requirements.

In addition, many games require that your video card have some hardware support for 3d functions. If your card does NOT have any 3d support, then many games, like COD4, will not work. Again, check those system requirements.

Many low end desktop PCs only use an integrated video card solution that does not have any 3d support. Fortunately, many of these PCs can be upgraded by simply buying a new video card. You don't need to spend a lot of money on one - even a modest $100 card should allow you to play most games with lower detail settings.

If you're using a laptop, unfortunately they can't be upgraded. They do make laptops that have powerful graphic cards, but they tend to be very expensive ($4000 or more).

Even if you can't upgrade your computer (either due to hardware or economic reasons) there are still lots of good games out there that don't require 3D, and will work on even today's lowest-end computers. Many of them are also free, or very inexpensive. Happy hunting.

Graphics problem - Initializing old game (Metal Gear Solid)?

Hi

I just installed Metal Gear Solid on my PC and it's an ancient game. I easily have the system requirements but when I first ran it I got a message about the game not being able to run under my graphics card and would use software rendering.

Now when I try to open the game, I get the following message:

"Game crashed during previous initialization, game starting software rendering mode..."

The screen then goes all black like it's opening the program, then it just suddenly closes. No pop-up or anything telling me it has to close.

My graphics card is a crappy laptop one, but the system requirements for this game are like 32mb card and DirectX7. My card is a GeForce Go 6100, not amazing but it should be able to run this game.

Is there any way I can fix this?

Graphics problem - Initializing old game (Metal Gear Solid)?

actually if your gaming on at latop, the problems is your direct x, u need to update, to 9 or 10, its free,,here the site..http://www.softwarepatch.com/windows/dir...

Graphics problem - Initializing old game (Metal Gear Solid)?

"I easily have the system requirements" NO, you don't.

The game is so old it only ran in DOS mode on Windows 95 / 98. Today's Windows versions do not have true DOS built-in, they merely TRY to "emulate MS-DOS" (in Compatibility mode), AND 2000/XP/Vista do NOT allow "direct hardware control" which your game NEEDS.

And of course your hardware and graphics card technology didn't even exist back then, so how could it be compatible with a 13 year old game?

Bottom Line:

DOS games either run on Windows 2000 and newer, OR they don't! You could try FreeDOS or DrDOS, but...

Graphics problem - Initializing old game (Metal Gear Solid)?

Although the poster above has the right idea. His info is actually wrong. As Metal Gear Solid is designed for Windows 95/98.

SADLY. THAT IS THE PROBLEM. Metal Gear Solid WILL NOT work on Windows XP.

The only solution I can give you is install Windows 98. Perhaps you can use a virtualization software for that.

PS. You might try right clicking on the exe file and choose "Windows 98 compability", it might work. Chances are it won't though.

Graphics card question.?

I have a HP Pavilion Slimline s3230, It's a nice PC which takes up very little space, but unfortunately came with a very crappy graphics card. I'm easily confused when it comes to these things, so can anyone recommend a really good graphics card, (512mb minimum) that is small enough to fit in this PC ?

Graphics card question.?

hi gail

this is the main problem with new p.c,s ,manufacturers try to save money by shipping their p.c,s with either onboard/intergrated graphics or budget low end graphic cards

however its not as expensive as you think to upgrade your current graphics solution and decent cards start at as low as 鎷?0

you first need to find out what type of interface your motherboard uses(agp or pci-express),howevr since your p.c is quite new it will support pci-express

here are three of the best pci-express cards around and all are less than 鎷?00

the Asus ATi Radeon HD 3650 256MB (http://www.aria.co.uk/Products/Component... a excellent modern card with all the latest features including pixel and shader model 4.1 and direct x 10.1

heres its main specifications.............................

ATI Radeon HD 3650 GPU @ 725MHz

256MB GDDR3 Memory @ 1600MHz

120 Stream Processors

Glaciator Fansink

HDMI output support

PCI-E 2.0 supported

next is the XFX Geforce 8600GT 256MB XXX DDR2(http://www.aria.co.uk/Products/Component... and this again supports the lastest shader model 4.1 and direct x 10.1 and also has support for open Gl 2.0

heres it main specs......................................

Chipset ...nVIDIA 8600GT

Cooling.... Fan

Direct x support... OpenGL 2.0, DirectX 10

Dvi output ...2 x Dual Link DVI-I

Gpu speed... 620 MHz

Interface... PCI-Express x16

Memory... 256MB

Memory clock... 1600MHz

Video output ...HDTV out

finally theres the Sapphire Radeon X1950PRO 512MB(http://www.aria.co.uk/Products/Component... this isnt direct x 10 this is the fastest of the three and still one of the best cards around and the best sub 鎷?00 card bar none

heres its main specs......................................

Core clock speed ...580 MHz

Digital video standard... Digital Visual Interface (DVI)

Directx ...DirectX 9.0

Graphics processor / vendor... ATI Radeon X1950 Pro

Interface type... PCI Express x16

Max monitors supported... 2

Max resolution... 2560 x 1600

Memory bus... 256 bit

Memory clock speed ...1.4 GHz

Memory size ...512MB

Memory type ...GDDR3

Opengl ...OpenGL 2.0

Ramdac ...400MHz

Tv interface ...TV out

Video adapter features... ATI CrossFire Technology

Warranty... 1 year RTB

not all these cards have a 512mb memory,as you dont need 512mb for most applications and games,only games that run ultra detail settings really need that much memory

out of the three i would go for the x1950pro,its a awesome card and extremely powerful for its low price,this card will handle any game or application you throw at it

any problems let me know

good luck gail !

Graphics card question.?

nvidia do good graphics cards.

have a look

http://www.nvidia.com/object/geforce_fam...

Graphics card question.?

As far as I can make out from the specs (http://h10010.www1.hp.com/wwpc/uk/en/ho/... your current graphics is onboard (ie. it is integrated into the motherboard), not a discrete card.

The specs also say that the only expansion slot you have is one low-profile PCI slot. Modern graphics cards require at least an AGP slot, or a PCI-Express slot. The only graphics card you could switch to would be limited to very old technology, and would be a downgrade form your onboard graphics.

Unless I've looked up the wrong specs, I'm afraid you're straight out of luck, sorry.

Graphics card question.?

Your PC has the HD 2350 entry level dedicated graphics card. It seems that your PC only takes low profile cards. There are few low profile cards that are more powerful than the HD 2350 in your PC. Consider these:

Graphics Card w/ dual monitors?

Can anyone suggest a good graphics card that can handle two monitors (not duplicating the same image on both) and plays mmo like Second life well? Also can you get a graphics card with a monitor imput and use the onboard monitor imput?

Graphics Card w/ dual monitors?

I have try to use dual monitor and it really easy to configure. I use onboard vga for first monitor, and an agp card for second one. You can configure what image to display on both monitor in Windows Display Properties.

Graphics Card w/ dual monitors?

nivdia gforce 8500

Graphics Card w/ dual monitors?

Dual moniters? Get Dual AK-47s

Graphics Card w/ dual monitors?

NVIDIA

Graphics Card w/ dual monitors?

nvidia 8800 ultra is the best gfx card i think.

Graphics Card w/ dual monitors?

are you on a budget? if you are, just get the 8600 GT because thats more than enough to display dual monitor and play second life at the same time... but if you want to be future proof, i'd go with either the ati 3870 x2 or the nvidea 9800 gx2

Graphics Card w/ dual monitors?

I have a 8600GT...much cheaper if you had a limited budget. Works fine for me. To the other question...I don't see why not.

Graphics Card w/ dual monitors?

Pretty much every graphics card worth mentioning can easily handle dual monitors. As for running Second Life, again any new card with a brand name on it will be more than adequate.

I've never heard of a graphics card with an input, usually inputs are done by seperate video capture cards. It's an entirely different set of hardware required.

Graphics Card w/ dual monitors?

If u want a vga output graphics, it is now difficult to find it. All u can do is buy the DVI to vga connector and plug ur vga cable on it. The 8500gt, 8600gt or gts, 8800, 9600 or 9800 series graphics the the best graphics card.

Graphics Card w/ dual monitors?

nivdia gforce 8500

Graphics Card w/ dual monitors?

well, i would get NVidia 8800 GT and get DVI-VGA converter, but the image quality wont be as good, also 8500 GT comes with dual VGA, =)

hope this answered your question, please put as best answer =)

Graphics driver will not run.?

Ok so I have a dell that has all stuff from the factory and I have a radeon 9025 graphics card. it was setup at my old house just the way it is now but I got a virus and had to reboot the whole system(including the factory graphics card). so I have put the new one in a open slot, uninstalled the old driver and installed the new driver from the ati site but when I plug the monitor into that card the screen is blank and when I plug it into the old slot the screen comes up fine but everythings huge. help please

Graphics driver will not run.?

So you now have two graphics cards in the machine? Generally windows etc will only load initially onto the 'primary' card. So if the original card is still in the system take it out.

From your description when you connect the monitor to the old card it comes up with a picture but everything is huge. I'd say that's because you unistalled its driver so it's using the very limited windows standard driver.

How can I insert graphics in a table so they will NOT appear as attachments when the table is emaile

I do a lot of tables creation for advertising for work, but not being a trained graphics expert I am unsure as to creating those nice looking tables for email marketing purposes. The graphics always look nice, but they appear as attachments when sent by email. I am creating the table in Microsoft Word, inserting chosen graphics and written text, then copying and pasting the completed table into an email to blast out to a couple of thousand clients. Is there another program, other than Word I should use - I have InDesign and the less complicated Microsoft programs - or perhaps - is there another way to insert the graphics? Thanks.

How can I insert graphics in a table so they will NOT appear as attachments when the table is emailed?

copy and paste

How can I insert graphics in a table so they will NOT appear as attachments when the table is emailed?

css code

so, give each table an id tag and in css asign an image for that id so like

.id

{

background-image: url("image.url");

}

so the tag would be,

%26lt;table id="id"%26gt;%26lt;/table%26gt;

How can I insert graphics in a table so they will NOT appear as attachments when the table is emailed?

The reason your images appear as attachments is that's how you are sending them. The minute you send the picture along with the mail, they are attachments.

The emails you get with images are not sending the images in the mail too - the images are stored on the company's servers. The email just provides a link to the location. Word can do that, or you can do it by had in the HTML code the way the previous answer gave.

How can I insert graphics in a table so they will NOT appear as attachments when the table is emailed?

Convert it to a PDF file and send the file as an email attachment. All images will go with it and will be viewable when they open the PDF file. Adobe's PDF Reader is free to use so indicate they need this.

Everyone should have the latest PDF reader of whatever company that makes free ones.

Graphics card sloth help?

I ran a program to find out what graphics card slots i have, it displyed this -

Bus(es) - ISA AGP PCI IMB USB i2c/SMBus

I can see AGP in there and was just double checking if that is the slot i should buy a new graphics card for, also what does the rest of that mumbo jumbo mean, sorry i really dont know alot about computers.

Graphics card sloth help?

hi ben

yes you have a agp slot and you need to buy a agp type graphic card,however now you need to download a diagnostic program called "sisoft sandra lite" from http://www.sisoftware.net/index.html?dir...

you now need to discover the agp version you have and type,hopefully you will have version 2.0 and the type agp 1.5v,as this is compatible with nearlly all the latest agp graphic cards

if its agp 3.0v then you may have problems locating a decent modern agp card as this is the older version,and harder to find newer cards in this version

once you have downloaded SiSoftware Sandra XII you need to look for the diplays sub catergory and this will give you the information you need

if you are having problems finding out the type of agp card then e-mail me the motherboards name and model number(you can also find this out in SiSoftware Sandra XII )

for advice and purchasing a agp card let me know

good luck ben !

Graphics card sloth help?

well, if you have a motherboard with pci-express then that is the way to go, with most of the nvidia 8 series using that slot

for those you will need a pci-e 16x slot

for agp you can still get 7 series cards which will do a good job

the rest is mostly stuff for other cards, e.g. sound cards and wifi cards

Graphics card sloth help?

yes you are right

Will an ATI X1550 graphics card give me next-gen graphics?

I am looking for a cheap graphics card and was wondering if the x1550 will give me next-gen graphics. If it doesn't could you recommend a graphics card that will.

Will an ATI X1550 graphics card give me next-gen graphics?

no X1550 is crap, and only DX9c.

For next gen these are the DX10 options i would recommend :

ATI : HD 2900XT

Nvidia: Geforce 8600 Ultra

all cards under the ones above run on buses that are below 256MB, hence will hurt performance greatly.

Will an ATI X1550 graphics card give me next-gen graphics?

The best thing you could possibly do is watch this website and look at the guides for their computers:

http://sharkeyextreme.com/guides/index.p...

They have a Value Gaming Rig, High-End Gaming Rig and Extreme gaming rig. Look at what they recommend for you price range.

You'll be hooked when you start watching :)

Will an ATI X1550 graphics card give me next-gen graphics?

In basic essence, playing a PC game is drastically different from playing a PC game.

For example, a PC game's performance depends on how powerful your computer is, while console hardware never change, so how will you describe your "next-gen" graphics? Are those games even made right now?

Or are you referring to the latest games to be able to display the maximum graphical settings?

In that case, you have minimal choices, Windows Vista has Direct X10, this allows better graphical quality than Direct X9, but this requires Direct X10 compatible video card. These are the choices for those video cards :

From the most expensive to the Cheapest :

NVidia GeForce 8800GTX

ATI Radeon 2900XT

NVidia GeForce 8600

NVidia GeForce 8500

This is the minimum video cards requires to play the upcoming Direct X10 games such as Crysis.

Graphics Cards - Which is better? Plz help this ickle noob!?

ATI Radeon庐 Xpress 1100 integrated 3D graphics with up to 128MB of shared system memory

or

Mobile Intel庐 Graphics Media Accelerator X3100

Which is better? Can they both run simple games like WoW or Call of Duty 2?

Arghhh im confused!

Graphics Cards - Which is better? Plz help this ickle noob!?

Person above just about summed it up.

I have an ATI Radeon HD 2600Pro which works very good with games.

Nvidia has some good cards that are not to expensive.

Graphics Cards - Which is better? Plz help this ickle noob!?

both is teh suck! X3100 better though

they should both be able to play games like that. no hope for CoD4 though. get a desktop if you want a gamer.

Graphics, hard drive...?

Ok, first thing is first. I have an Acer TravelMate 2420 series, and i want more GB's on my comp... ( it will make it go faster and give it more room for programs right? ) So whuch one would be good for my comp? and does it go INSIDE my comp?

Also, i need better graphics, any recomendations on what i can do / buy to get better graphics?

thanks

brent

Graphics, hard drive...?

Yes it could improve improve performance . But t also depends on what type of hardrive that you get . Not all the time does a bigger hardrive mean better performance. It all depends on how fast tah hard drive can access the information and relay it to the motherboard which then presents that info on to your screen. I owuld suggest going with barracuda, western digital , segate etc. You will also need to turn your system off and install this hard drive . This is something that you can do all by your seff because there are help videos that show you step by step how to do these things . But what really effect performance is ram . Also known in the tech world as random access memory Yes the ram does allow for the computer to draw and process more information alot faster than the generic ram that cam with your computer. Yes ram does have to be installed inside your system . But you cannot just buy any type of ram . First you have to find out what type of ram your computer uses . The most common one is ddr2 but check to make sure.

It is pretty simple in terms of getting a new graphics card but you need to know what your motehrboard supports pci . agp or pci express. All these terms can be explained by a profeshional when purchasing the video card from people such as tigerdirect.com . They are also open 24 hours a day and will kindly tell you everything you need to know , If your not doing anything special such as any serious gaming a well rounder graphics card would be the xfx geforce 8600 or less advanced. That can be purchased under 250 depending on what version of it you get . Hope this helps.

Graphics, hard drive...?

While you can upgrade the hard drive, you won't be able to upgrade the graphics. Most laptops have 2.5" IDE or SATA drives. Check with your mft for the type. Before you replace it have a strategy to move the entire IMAGE (not just the files) over to the new drive. Some drives come with software to do this, but require special cables, or an external USB 2.5" drive carrier. Without the system image, you'll have nothing and you'll have to start over. That said, a bigger hard drive won't necessarily help performance unless it rotates faster, has a larger cache or more sophisticated IO mechanism. RAM is the key to better performance.

Graphics chips are built into the system motherboard.

Graphics, hard drive...?

ok first thing

No video upgrade for this, you have intel gma900, crap video and no way its onboard.

two not sure what you mean buy MB. a bigger hard drive will do nothing for speed, just space

more memory would be your best bet. at the prices now I would just get the max two gig. buy from newegg

Graphics gone all wierd when i make a video using adobe premier?

Graphics gone all wierd when i make a video using adobe premier?

I recorded myself playing team fortress 2.

I recorded about 30 clips each around 10 seconds.

I used a software called Adobe Premier v2.0 to fit them all together.

After I made the final video (all 30 into 1), the graphics were all messed up. However, when i view it ON Adobe Premier it's fine.

I will show you what i mean once the video is uploaded on youtube, i will post link.

Anybody know why this is happening? Or how to resolve it?

Thank you to all that answer, I appreciate it!!

Graphics gone all wierd when i make a video using adobe premier?

what format you are saving the resulted movie in?

Graphics gone all wierd when i make a video using adobe premier?

Try exporting as an avi then importing the avi and saving it to whatever file you need like quicktime or whatever.

It also may be the files themselves. Premier tends to like avi files.

try restarting the pc

Graphics card for dell vostro?

I have a dell vostro 200 and I want to update it's existing graphics card. Right now i have an 8600 and want to get an 8800gt but i'm not sure if it fits. Does it fit and if it doesn't what graphics card should i get for playing Crysis?

Graphics card for dell vostro?

Well if a 8600 fits, more than likely a 8800GT fits, however you should probably start thinking about getting a new case for gaming purposes.

As for Crysis, there won't be many cards now that will run it at the best settings it can be at, but a 8800GT should run it well enough for now.

As a side note, due to the reviews I've read about the newly released ATI cards (3850 and 3870), don't go with ATI cards at all until they catch up in the race. Although they are beginning development and production for their Quad-Crossfire setups, a SLI setup of the cards now could probably outperform their Quad and nVidia plans on bringing back Quad SLI once they work out the problems before.

Graphics card for dell vostro?

To the best of my knowledge the 8600 is only available in PCI Express therefore you have a PCI Express motherboard.

That being the case then yes, an 8800GT will work in that computer. I don't think the 8800gt uses much more power than the 8600 so you probably don't even need a bigger power supply.

By the way, I just bought an 8800GT 3 days ago and it installed fine. I haven't been able to try it out yet though since I'm still waiting for some more parts for the computer I'm building, BUT the 8800gt is rated as slightly faster (and cheaper) than the 8800gts and is currently a great buy if you can find one.

For info about vid cards I go to tomshardware.com . Try their monthly "best graphics cards for the money" article as well as the "VGA" link under "LATEST CHARTS".

p.s. no I'm not affiliated with tomshardware, I just think they are a great and up to date resourse for info

Graphics Card on Gameplay?

Right now I have an old graphics card (GeForce 5200XT to be exact). Recently I purchased Need For Speed Pro Street for my computer and the graphics are lagging a lot. I used to play NFS:Carbon and it worked just fine. I purchased an ATI HD 2600Pro card (I am still waiting for it to ship to me) and I am wondering wether or not this will solve my problem. My current specs are:

Intel Pentium 4 3.0 GHz processor

1 gig DDR ram

250 HardDrive (about 180gb free space)

and I am replacing my Nvidia GeForce 5200XT with an ATI Raedon HD 2600Pro.

Will this help the lagging stop???

Graphics Card on Gameplay?

yeah... make sure your motherboard will run the 2600pro.

Graphics Card on Gameplay?

I did a quick check on newegg.com and it looks like your old graphics card uses PCI interface . The new one you have coming looks like it is PCIe x16 interface. If this is correct, you will not be able to use the new card - as you probably don't have the PCIe x16 interface on your motherboard.

ASUS Terminator P4 533 Graphics Card & power supply?

I have an ASUS P4 533 terminator barebones system which has built in Graphics on the sis651 chipset. It has a 2mhz P4 chip %26amp; 512mb memory. I want to add a graphics card to improve performance. There is no AGP slot and only 2 PCI slots. 1 PCI slot is used by the santa cruz sound card. The power supply is only 160 watts so IM worried that adding a power hungry graphics card will cause crashes. Any advise on a low power graphics card which would be suitable?

ASUS Terminator P4 533 Graphics Card %26amp; power supply?

theres two problems that you will encounter ,the first is lack of any graphic interface,in that i mean a.g.p or pci-express slot,and secondly the power supply,even to the most basic graphic card 160watts is not really enough for the average system

so first we will deal with the graphic card problem,lucky for you some manufacturers still make pci graphic cards,and theres some decent cards around

probally the best is the nvidia geforce 6200(http://www.dabs.com/productview.aspx?Qui... is currently the only pci based graphics card that supports both direct x 9.0c and pixel and shader model 3.0,both important factors in todays games,it also has 256mb of video memory and a core clock speed of 300mhz,a very good pci card and probally your best choice

another couple of good cards in pci interface are 1)geforce fx5200(http://www.dabs.com/productview.aspx?Qui... and shader model 2.0 and dx9,and 2)radeon 9250(http://www.dabs.com/productview.aspx?Qui... and shader model 1.1 and dx8

secondly once you have chosen your graphics card,a decent power supply would be the next priority,and again,lucky for you they are quite inexpensive,for example the Dabs Value 480W PSU Gold 12cm SATA PFC (http://www.dabs.com/ProductView.aspx?Qui... a good power supply(p.s.u) which has enough overall power to run your p.c and all its components,this p.s.u has 6 x 4pin molex ,1 x pci-e 6pin molex,20(4)pin motherboard connector,2 x floppy power connectors

when buying a power supply use a power supply calculator(http://www.extreme.outervision.com/psuca... this one and enter all your components and when you get your total power usage,then add another 100watt on top of that and thats what your minimum p.s.u should be,however this may sound overkill but i recommend you add another 200watt on top of your total and this way you will be sure and it gives you plenty of power for future upgrades and remember you will probally remove the p.s.u from your current p.c when you buy another and need a more powerful p.s.u

another good p.s.u worth looking at is the OCZ Technology StealthXStream 600W Active PFC (http://www.dabs.com/productview.aspx?Qui... this is a bit more expensive but ocz are the bst manufacturers of power supplys and memory and they carry lifetime warranties

alltogether these two upgrades will cost you less than 鎷?00,a good worthwhile improvment to your p.c and you will certainly see the performance improvement

i hope this helps

good luck mate!

ASUS Terminator P4 533 Graphics Card %26amp; power supply?

The above answer is good, with the one exception: Don't buy a generic psu.

In addition to the OCZ he recommends, look at Antec and maybe Hyper. Antec give a 3 year warranty on their psu's, and the new ones are really quiet.

Graphics card nvidia 7900 gs?

which is the the best graphics card i can get for less than 鎷?00, i have come up with the 7900 gs or the 7900 gt. also these don't support directx 10, i have xp and i will upgrade my computer in 3 months to vista. do you think the last of directx will make much difference. i could get the 8600 gt but thats rubbish as in slow but supports directx 10. are there any ati graphics card i should consider?

thank you

Graphics card nvidia 7900 gs?

I would save the money you have right now for a little bit longer.

The 8600 is not THAT bad of a card for the money. The 8600gt's are not bad at all.

But you might as well save up for something that has the ability to play the games that you will want to play once DX10 comes out.

Graphics card nvidia 7900 gs?

allways go for the gt versions jason,the clock speeds will allways be better in the gt,s

i have just bough the 7600gt and its a good bit of kit,plays any game and able to use all filtering and max detail

the 7900 is a good card,even the 7900gs is a good all round card but the gt will always be faster both in clock speeds and memory speeds

a excelent a.t.i card to consider is the Sapphire X1950 PRO 256Mb PCI-E card(http://www.misco.co.uk/applications/Sear... in my opinion is the best radeon based card for the price range, with its 36 pixel pipelines and 580mhz core clock this is a pure peice of power,with ability to play any game you wish to try

i know the x1950 is slightly over 鎷?00 but anohter good card for less than 鎷?00 is the Inno3D I-Chill 7300GT 256Mb PCI-E Graphics card(http://www.misco.co.uk/applications/Sear... is direct 10 compatible and has a mean core clock of 550mhz,this for its price is excellent,highly recommended

i hope this helps jason

good luck mate!
