Where can I find the latest video card driver for my laptop and also an audio device that works?
Toshiba Satellite 5105-S901 laptop
Intel Pentium 4 Processor
NVIDIA GeForce4 440
I updated with Service Pack 2 which installed the YAMAHA AC-XG audio device. Although, now I have no sound and I don't think that this audio device is compatible with my laptop. Also, another program I have will not load because I need a different video driver. Anyone know where can I get this? Thanks!!!|||toshiba website will be your best bet use the following link this will take you to their support site http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/…

How can I overclock my intel cpu and Nvidia 8800m gts video card?
I'm going to get Crysis soon. My laptop has over the minimum requirements for the game, but my cpu and video card are just under the recommended requirements.
Does anyone know how I can overclock my cpu and video card in order to reach the requirements, or get them closer to them?
Is there any risk involved to my computer's components involved?
Thanks.
My cpu is an intel duo T5750(2.0ghz).
My Video card is Nvidia 8800m Gts.
I have 3gb of ram.
My computer is windows vista, and i'm running it as super-admin(if it matters).|||Yes, with a laptop you are putting your components at high risk if you overclock.
With a desktop computer, you will generally have better airflow and CPU cooling which will allow your parts to remain cool and safe.
However by overclocking a laptop, you are generating excess amounts of heat which will greatly stress your CPU - laptop CPU coolers are not meant to cool overclocked parts.
My suggestion is to stand clear of overclocking laptops. In fact, many laptop makers will even go so far as to lock the bios to prevent you from doing so. If your laptop is from a major manufacturer such as Dell, Gateway, HP, Compaq, or Acer, you likely don't even have a choice in this matter.|||download riva turner....

How do I update my Video Card drivers when windows won't load?
I have had a problem with my computer being unstable. I sent my video card in to get fixed. Not to long after I got it back my computer suddenly craped out. It would have artifacts all over the screen during startup and the screen would turn off before windows started. Fans and lights were still running, but my screen would turn off. I sent the video card in again and recently got it back. Just as before the same thing has happened. Someone suggested that it could be the drivers so how do I update drivers when I cant even get to windows|||Try going into safe mode. Press F8 repeatedly when you start the computer. Choose Safe mode with networking (or get the drivers from someone else's computer). Update the drivers by going to Control Panel > System > Hardware > Device Manager > Display Adapters > double-click your video card > driver > update driver.|||Go on another computer and download the drivers onto a floppy disk and insert that into the computer and enter the BIOS screen. From there you should be able to load the drivers. However, the easier way of doing it would be to install the video card in another machine and if that one works then you know it isnt the video card that is causing you problems.|||switch from windows to ubuntu linux,, its free and will detect and download the drivers for you.
At least you will be able to use your pc and once you used it, you will never want to go back to redmond's monster|||yes try going into safe mode by pressing f8 during bootup and have a disk with the drivers ready

Look on the Dell website and see which models they sell. I've used Dells in the past and some of them modified motherboards or internal fixtures that mean that there isn't enough room to fit a powerful card. Most annoyingly they often put the most powerful PCI-E slot right at the top so you can't put a double hight card in, or they sometimes put in an extra large heat sink so you can't fit a full length card in.
Without knowing the model of Dell there isn't much more that I can tell you.|||video cards are all the same. They usually make their own or get them from Nvidia or Geforce. So as long as you have a fast enough processor, enough ram, and a big enough hard drive then go ahead and get a new video card.

Does video card matter for watching DVD?
im planning to get a laptop to watch DVDs. does the video card give high quality of DVDs picture? in other words, does a good video card (like NVIDIA or that kinds of video card) give better picture? it's only for DVD-watching, not for games. thanks.|||no. those NVIDIA video card is only for games.. for DVD, it adds no value...........|||Quiet frankly, no. If it's onboard video it'll matter a little, see the onboard video will use a lot of the CPU power, while a independant video card will do all the processing and leave the CPU pretty much idle.
In terms of what kind of video card you need, a cheap video card will do the job for just plain old DVD watching. Some say ATI has a better IQ than Nvidia ( Image Quality) , but in my own personal experiance, Nvidia cards run cooler, a little cheaper and i like their drivers better.
It's all up to you which brand you choose, but yes any video card will do for DVD watching.|||All video cards play DVDs quite well now, but you're probably better off with an nVidia or ATI card.
You also want 3D support:
Most modern Operating Systems are moving toward OpenGL or DirectX support for rendering the GUI. So I would recommend a 3D graphics card, they are not just for games any more.
If you want to run Windows Vista or Mac OS X, then you will need 3D graphics support!
( That doesn't read well: visit this site to findout why: http://www.rixstep.com/1/20060325,00.sht… )

How DVDs play on a laptop:
Why do I have special hardware for displaying video?
Most computers display graphics in the RGB color space, while a DVD contains video encoded in the MPEG codecs, which store video frames in the YCbCr color space family.
The quality of the picture is down to the encoding of the video (on the DVD etc) and not the video card. But the result you get on the screen is down to the video cards ability to hardware scale the output image to full-screen size and ability to display output as an overlay in the YCdCr color space.
Why do I want support for this?
Real-time YCbCr to RGB conversion can be quite slow, but the main problem with displaying video on a computer screen in RGB format, is the resolution (screen size in pixels) of modern high resolution displays, and how long it takes to modify and then transfer a full frame of the screen to the video hardware (anything over 640x480 can be considered large).
In order to display a 1440 x 900 32bit color video at 30 frames per second in RGB would require 151Mb of data per second to be transfered to your graphics card! Which is too much data to send in real-time.
Fortunately the bandwidth required for playing DVDs is much smaller than this, and small enough to easily transfer directly to your graphics card in YCbCr format.
So if your video hardware supports YCbCr (YUV overlays) all you need to do is transfer the YCbCr data and let the hardware sort it out rather than convert plus send the large RGB format data.|||ofcourse, but no very much. todays all of VGA s are able to play movies and pictures.

How do i tell if its my video card or my moniter going out?
everytime i attempt to go on the internet(have dsl) my moniter shuts off.its kinda of an old moniter,but someone told me its my video card please help?|||It only shuts off when you get on the internet??? When did the problem start happening. You can update your video card driver by going to My Computer and right click on it. Then go to properties, then Device Drivers and find your video card driver. Update the driver. But first I would turn my system off completely. Then power it back on and tap 1-2 times gently the F8 key. This should take you to the Windows Advanced Options Menu. Go to Safe Mode with Networking. Choose your Operating System. Then you will see a lot of file like lines just give it a minute to load. Then your screen will tell you to log in and log in. Your computer will be running is safe mode. Try the internet there and if it shuts down or off then that will tell you what it is. It would be convenient if you had access to another monitor then that will tell you whether it is your monitor or not. I find it strange that the video works but when you get on the internet it doesn't. So if it stays on in safe mode that means it is a software issue and then I would proceed to the update video driver step which can be done in safe mode or in regular mode. If the problem just started recently you can do a system restore and see does that help. You could have downloaded something from the internet that is messing with your system. Hope that helped.|||1 hook annother momiter to your pc

Since your price range is below $200, I would go for the radeon 5770, radeon 4890, or radeon 4870. I pick radeon over nvidia because you usually get a bigger bang for the buck, but nvidia is a bit more reliable.

I need a compatible video card for this motherboard. Help?
This is my mother board Foxconn A74ML-K - motherboard - micro ATX - Socket AM2 / AM2+ / AM3 - AMD 740G - Socket AM2 / AM2+ / AM3. I am trying to find a compatible video card. The slot is a PCI Express not PCI Express 2.0. Any help would be greatly appreciated.|||The version number of PCI-Express x16 (1.0 vs 2.1 or 2.0 etc) does NOT matter... all cards and motherboards are completely backwards and forwards compatible, as long as they're x16. The major restrictions are your budget and your computer's power supply rating, since higher-end cards require more power.
What are you upgrading the video card for? Is there a particular game you're looking to play? If so, which game and what's your monitor resolution (and of course, ballpark budget)? For games like Minecraft or the Sims 3 you don't need an expensive card at all. For Call of Duty:MW2, Rift or World of Warcarft an entry-level card would do, but you'd need something fairly powerful to play Skyrim. Even moreso for Battlefield 3.

How do I make my video card run faster?
I have a diamond card with s3 savage4 in it, i am runing xp it has a driver but if i run like a fps it sayed microsof driver rendoeror like there is another one i can get?|||Video cards are really iffy in that regard: you can't easily make them faster because they're such precision hardware. It IS possible to overclock a video card, but it's quite dangerous, doesn't lead to a large boost in performance, and (again) is the easiest way to fry the card. Manufacturers don't cover damage by overclocking, as it breaks the warranty.
If you're looking for a new one, try either the AGP x1950GT (ATI) or the PCI-e 8800GT (nVidia). They'll get you some of the best performance in their respective expansion buses. Don't forget to make sure that the motherboard and power supply you're using can support the new card.
If you don't have an AGP or PCI-e slot in your computer, or if you have a laptop, the easiest solution is to simply buy a new computer, because the one you're using is either too outdated or too difficult to upgrade to make it worth the time, respectively.

Current video card for a Intel Quad 6600?
I have an Intel Core 2 Q6600. I want to buy a video card, with the hope of being able to run Deus Ex: Human Revolution. I read that my processor, being older, will limit performance on newer cards. Can you please recommend a good card that can run at full performance for my processor?|||Back in 2008, people were running the q6600 with a GTX 280 and no one ever spoke of a bottleneck.
Today's cards that are on the same level as a GTX 280 are the 1gb GTX 460 and the Radeon HD 6850.
Since the Radeon HD 6870 is such a good deal, I don't think I'd pass on that card. It can be found for $175 on newegg.com.
In First person shooter games you'd get more performance with a better card. Going beyond the 6870 level the performance would get CPU bound.
The q6600 would be limited in games that want more performance from the processor. Games like Dragon Age, Starcraft 2, WOW, and GTA4 are processor intensive games.|||The Q6600 shouldn't limit the GPU.
I have a Q6700 (which is the same processor, just clocked slightly higher) and it doesn't bottleneck my system.
It doesn't bottleneck a GTX 580 (fastest single GPU video card on the market), so you're fine.
If you overclock it, you could squeeze out a few more frames when gaming.
Get whatever video card you can afford.
I recommend a GTX 560 Ti or Radeon HD 6870.
If you can afford something better, then obviously buy the better video card.

Does video card affect the performance of the computer? Does it also affect the motherboard?
My NVIDIA GeForce 7300 is defective and its not working anymore, so I decided to take it out in the motherboard and now i don't have any graphic card and couldn't afford to buy one. My question is, does it affect the PC performance? I'm not playing any games on computer though, I just watch movies. Would it also affect the motherboard?
Help please! TIA!|||It won't effect your motherboard and should be fine as long as you have on-board video. It will however take away from your PC's performance. When you use a video card all of the computers graphics are processed by your video card which is basically a small computer in itself. It has a processor and RAM of it's own. I recommend getting another video card, even if it's a cheap one. You can get a Radeon HD 4650 with 1 GB RAM for $50.00. It is well worth it. You can even get the Radeon HD 4350 with 1 GB RAM for $40.00. Here are links...

then download the universal driver from nvidia. there are always tweaked drivers that give you more performance, but i seriously doubt it will be significantly more than the default drivers.
also, go into you device manager and click on graphics cards and see if yours pops up in there... then google the driver for that specific model.|||FACT, if you have a laptop OR a PC that does not have a graphics card plugged into it, then you are using an integrated graphics processor.

FACT, if you have a PC with a graphics card plugged into it, pull the side cover, see what card you have (6200, 7500, 8600, 9500, etc) then go to the nVidia website and install the proper driver.

Is it the video card, processor, or RAM making my graphics choppy?
I built a computer with a 60gb hard drive, 1.6ghz Pentium 4 processor (with Hyperthreading, but I have know idea how to enable it in Windows), and 768mb RAM (2 small, slow 128mb sticks and one 512mb PC3200 stick). My video card is a Radeon 9550 256mb card. My video card use to be in an old eMachines computer whose specs weren't as good as my current computer, and games played smoother on the old one than they do on the new one. The main game I play is MVP Baseball, and it's very annoying when in mid-pitch, the graphics start studder-stepping. It will run smooth for about 15-20 seconds, but then will be choppy until I pause the game. After I resume, for some reason, it's back to normal. (It is an 8X AGP port) Is the video card the problem, even though the game use to run fine on an eMachines with a AMD 1300+ Athlon processor and 384mb of RAM? Thanks|||1.6P4 has no hyper threading.....from what you ask seems like you built an Atari. You cant play these games on an ATARI|||either your video card or your monitor|||think about it

I was just wondering if i am doing something wrong or if it is not compatible... thanks.|||The video card has to be compatible with the motherboard, not the processor.

I should note it is an older computer and I will only be using the card for arcade emulation and internet. I will not be running hard core 3D games, so keep that in mind when you recommend something! Thanks!|||You can get a Ati 7500 all in wonder graphics card. It is not an extreme card by any standards and will support the s-video option that you need to hook up to the TV.|||Any video card with a S-Video port in the back should do it. Otherwise you can see if your HDTV has a port to recieve a Projector plug, and you can get a video card with an additional projector port.
How do you figure out what kind of video card your motherboard can take? Im new to the inside of a computer.?
I have a ASRock ALiveNF6P-VSTA motherboard. i really need a card with DVI so i can get this lcd monitor i've had my eyes on for a while.

there are many top quality cards to choose from

to better answer your question any PCIe x16 compatible video card. Note: some cards require a 4 pin power conector for additional power consumption, make sure your pOWer supply can handle the extra load, the video card itself should say somewhere in it specs what the recommended power supply wattage should be
also you may not need a new vdeo card (but you prolly do since your mobo has intergrated video) to hook an lcd monitor up you just need a converter like DVI to Hmdi, or Dvi to vga or vice versa

Can I change the video card in my laptop?
I want to play StarCraft II but the card is too low. Can I change it? Or is there somewhere I can take it to get it changed?|||No. It's part of the Motherboard...
You need to buy a laptop w/ a high end Video Card Already...
Prepare to pay for it...|||Max out the system ram on your laptop if you have not already done so. Use the system monitor utility to check out the baseline activity, that is, to make sure there are no other programs running at the same time that you play your games. Viruses can tie up valuable system resources to slow things down a lot. Run an anti-virus and update your windows on a regular basis.|||No, you can not. Most laptop video cards are built into the motherboard.
Some newer laptops or larger ones have video cards as an expansion but the form and shape of them are still customized, and you'll be really hard pressed to find an upgrade for a particular motherboard.|||absoulutly either go to a local computer store to buy it and have it installed :)|||lol

Is there a way to upgrade your video card for laptop? Please Help?
i have a pretty good laptop, but for some games i need a good video card, and all i have is stock.
i know its not like a comp where i can just take the card out and replace it but maybe can i send it in somewhere? any ideas? please help, i really wanna play cod mw2 =)|||The video/graphics card is a chip set made into the mother board and is not replaceable or upgradable except on some high end gaming lap tops where it is made as an external card.|||Your only hope is to get an external video card. But I'm not sure they have the quality you will need!|||Two things you can do.
1. You can buy a usb video card
2. You can alocate more memory to your graphics card in the bios.

Can my video card run left 4 dead 1?
I have an intergrated video card. It is the Intel® HD graphics with 1759mb shared video memory. Do you think it can run left 4 dead, even if i put it on lowest settings? I played fear 2 and it runs very smooth, so do u think my card can handle left 4 dead?|||if you can run fear 2, then L4D should run decent.
if i recall correctly, Fear 2 is intensive on the video card. And left 4 dead ( Source engine ) is intensive on the Processor. So as long as you have a decent processor, you should be able to run L4D fine.

How to update video card drivers?
Whenever i try to open some new PC games on my SONY VAIO, a message comes saying "could not find compatible direct3d devices with required capabilities. Make sure you have current drivers for your video card" How to solve this problem??|||first go to drivermax.com

even then if the problem prevails buy a graphic card.
you can get a nvidia 8 series graphic card 512 mb for 3-4k max.
happy gaming|||The easiest way to update your drivers is to get driver update software. I say this because manually updating your drivers can be dangerous if you don’t know EXACTLY what you are doing. If you do not match the driver to your exact system specifications, the computer can freeze up, get errors, blue screens, and all kinds of nasty things.
The best course of action is to download an excellent driver update program which will match the required drivers to your exact system specifications. Scan your computer for free at:

this isn't as bad as it sounds, but it's so annoying. my video card didn't come with a screw to hold my video card in place. what kind of screw should i use to hold it in place? or is there another way to safely hold the card in place?|||It's quite a generic screw, you can find it on most old PC casing. If not, try any screw that can hold it in place and doesn't block or interfere with any component.
Most new casing dosn't need screws.|||Take one of the four screws out of your power supply which are on the back and use it!|||have you checked that it is in the right slot?|||You can usually use the screws from your hard disk or casing.

Is it okay to use a higher ampere output to a video card?
I already have a power supply which outputs @ 25A. The graphics card im looking at requires 18A on the 12V rail.
Is it alright to use that power supply for the graphics card, as long as it is AT LEAST 18A?|||Absolutely. In fact, having more power available than needed is something you really want to have for a video card.

What is the best video card?
Just wanted to know what is the best video card out right now as we speak?|||The 4870x2 has more potential though. ATI as waiting for other graphics card makers to release something better than the 4870x2. When that happens, they will activate some thing in the crossfire bridge to increase it's performance dramatically.|||The best single video card is the gtx285. The best dual-pcb card is either the gtx295 or 4870x2.|||ATi - 4870X2
Nvidia - 295GTX
The ATi one wont be there for long as the HD5000 or RV870
will be up for buys soon and that will take the checkered flag for 09.|||The GTX 285 will give you the best consistent performance.
Some games do scale well with multiple GPUs though, and in that case the GTX 295 is generally the best (it outperforms the 4870x2, which is another good videocard for games that scale well with multiple GPUs).

Why does my Video Card change to a lower setting?
I've noticed that sometimes my video color quality changes from the highest 32 bit to medium 16 bit. And the screen resolution drops down to the lowest setting.
I run spybot regularly, a virus checker and have McAfee Firewall. |||You must update your driver

try this setting for awhile, if everything was ok then change it to one higher than this. if it changed back to lowest setting then you have to accepe the 1024x768 setting or take it to where you bought it from and say it is faulty or to suggest you new video card so it could be replaced.

Blue screen after new video card?
So I got a new video card NVidia GTX 440 I believe, I installed the drivers, all my games detected it and now I can play with much higher graphics. I thought it was going fine. But then I minimized the screen while playing MW3 and I got a blue screen and it dumped all "previous memory files". I thought it migt just be MW3, it happened the same way on Skyrim too. Anyone know why it's doing this?|||The most likely problem is bad drivers. Check the Nvidia website and download the latest.
Another problem is that this may be hardware related. Make sure the card is correctly seated in the bus. It doesn't hurt to remove it and put it back in firmly.|||uninstall all drivers. restart. redownload drivers from nvidia website. install drivers. restart. report back.

Would this video card be right for my computer and The Sims 3 PC games?

Whats the difference between RAM and Video Card RAM?
I just started playing World of Warcraft and when I installed the game, it showed a message that said the minimum requirement for RAM wasn't met, but the game runs fine usually. I have every setting on the lowest possible and the game usually runs between 15 fps and 45 fps just depending on what area I'm in (ex. a city full of people compared to an empty room). I was just curious if increasing the amount of RAM in my computer would improve performance or if I would have to buy a video card with more RAM on it (my current one is a GeForce FX5500 with 256mb of RAM I think). Also, would I have to switch from my current video card back to the motherboard one if I just increase the computer's RAM? Sorry if this doesn't make much sense... but thanks in advance for any help you can give!|||The message you received means that you do not have sufficient system memory, your video card should work fine as it meets the minimum requirements for WoW. You need to check your system specifications sheet for your motherboard to determine what type, speed, and maximum capacity of memory it supports. It wouldn't hurt to know how much you currently have installed and what speed it is, then add more memory to reach a minimum total of 1gig, but 2gig would be better provided your motherboard supports that much. What you are looking for on the spec sheet is does your motherboard use SDRAM, DDR, DDR2, speeds like PC2100, PC2700, PC3200, PC2-6400, etc. It might list speeds like 266mhz, 333mhz, or 400mhz also, these are represented by the first three listings I showed of PC#### above respectively.
Video cards with dedicated memory do not increase the normal system resource memory which you are failing to meet, that is entirely different memory for a specific purpose.|||Your video card is sufficient for this game.
There's two types of ram (in this senario). There is System memory, and Video memory.
You have enough video memory, no questions asked.
You DO however need some more system memory, this is cheap you can buy some on ebay.com or your local computer store.|||You have RAM chips on your motherboard, some mother boards have two slots some have four.
RAM comes in 64MB (very old), 128MB (also very old),
256, 512 and 1GB. Doubles each time.
Video Cards need memory also and on most computers the Video cards uses (steals) some RAM from the Mother board.
That is why when you open up System in Control Panel and the RAM number is something less that what you think you have.
High End Video Cards have their own RAM on board, usually around 128MB or 256MB. There is a story I read that there will be a Video Card out soon with it's own 1GB of RAM...WoW!
Hope this helps clear the cobwebs.
Bill|||cuoc do`j that la vovi faj? hok cac ban|||Well, I have to add something. having 256VRAM doesn't mean it is enough. why ? Basically, VRAM is a RAM that is specially used to processing video data, while the normal RAM will process any data. however, 1 thing that is not yet mentioned here is the VGA processing Power.
If, the processing power of the VGA is slow, the data will end up using VRAM more that it was necessary in terms of time. so for example (I'm using ATI radeon as an example because I only use it ^^)
you have a 9800XT with 256 Mb RAM (9800 is a top model around year 2000)
You have a X1900 with 256Mb RAM (top model around 2006)
it doesn't mean the same. first, see the RAM type. one is using 256Mb DDR2 RAM and the other is 256 Mb DDR3 RAM. so even though the size of RAM is the same, the processing power is not. for your case, I would recommend you to buy a new VGA card. you will see the difference. but remember that in online game, the connection speed also matter....

Does the power source hook directly to the video card?
I am looking into getting a new power source to support my new video card - an nVidia Geforce 6200 AGP with 256mb ddr. Looking through power sources, I notice that most of them don't have any kind of connector for an AGP item, but I've heard that some cards require this. Will my new card require to be hooked right to the power source or will it be powered through the motherboard? Thanks!
7th|||Not all video cards draw a current from the power source. Some of the newer cards have increased memory size, higher clock speeds, more fans and other things that increase their size and complexity, and therefore require more juice to operate. I had an ATI 9700 Pro that was an AGP card that drew a current from the power source in addition to the motherboard power current. By looking at the pictures I have seen of this card, there are no power input slots on the card, so I do not believe that this card will need to be plugged in. If it does, it will likely not require more than a floppy drive power connector, meaning it would draw very little power at all. Hope this helps!|||To my knowledge power supplies feed and AGP card through the motherboard. On the other hand some new PCI-e video cards have a power supply jack and are powered directly from the power supply. I believe these to mainly be SLI cards.|||Sorry for laughing but I have recomposed myself to answer no. It connects to your mother board. It has other connections for better operating but power comes through the mother board. Just make sure your power supply has enough watts.

By looking at the pictures I have seen of this card, there are no power input slots on the card, so I do not believe that this card will need to be plugged in. If it does, it will likely not require more than a floppy drive power connector, meaning it would draw very little power at all. Hope this helps!|||To my knowledge power supplies feed and AGP card through the motherboard. On the other hand some new PCI-e video cards have a power supply jack and are powered directly from the power supply. I believe these to mainly be SLI cards.|||Sorry for laughing but I have recomposed myself to answer no. It connects to your mother board. It has other connections for better operating but power comes through the mother board. Just make sure your power supply has enough watts.
Will this video card cause problems?
I just bought a new computer and wanted to upgrade the video card. The video card requires a 300 watt power supply. My computer's TOTAL power supply is 300 watts, so is it okay to use this video card? I don't want it causing problems with the CPU or anything.|||No problem at all. The companies state the requirements of power supply calculating the processor and motherboard power usages. So if they have stated 300 watt, that means you need 300 watt power supply irrespective of what other computer parts use up.|||you have to upgrade your PSU coz your graphic card will not get the required power to run and will eventually not perform well and you might get a burned PSU after few hours may be minutes.. well if your PSU is really a good one like cooler master or sth then you can give it a try but no guarantee..|||no problems|||psu will need upgrading as well
as its a one off get a 500watt one

Will call of duty modern warfare 2 for pc work on an Intel HD Graphics 3000 video card?
i am getting a computer for school and unfortunately i have to pick one of their recommended ones. But i love to play computer games and every time i try to play this game on an older computer it always tells me one of 2 messages- either 1) graphics card not supported or 2) video card does not support alpha blending..
what does this mean and is there a way around it|||Modern warfare 2 has lower requirement's than most modern games.
An Intel HD graphics 3000 is an integrated graphics chipset, probably one of the best but still not as good as a dedicated video card. It would most likely be able to let you play Mw2 on native res. with low setting's.
if you want to play games on a laptop sufficiently but not the best of the best than tell us your budget and I can recommend a much better laptop.|||Intel HD 3000 is a lousy video chip for 3D games, but should run MW2 in 800x600. Make sure you have the latest drivers from Intel, and not Microsoft supplied WDDM drivers (often automatically installed via Windows Update), I think they completely lack hardware OpenGL support.|||Only at low details, COD-MW2 runs smoothly on the Intel HD Graphics 3000. We recorded 26 fps for the Intel GMA HD at low settings (800x600, low, 0xAA)

Will a video card display image without an OS?
Will a video card display any image on a monitor when theres no OS installed??|||Some will, my video card displays a startup message stating the card name and type and everything and will also display the motherboard bios without an OS installed. However I wouldn't call those 'images' so I guess it depends on what you mean by that.|||Depending on your situation and whether the video card is integrated or on PCI-E or another slot. You will most likely, if not certainly be able to view things on the screen without an OS. It is very rare or unlikely that you would need the OS but other wise, it should be fine. Either way, why would the manufacturer make the product to make it mandatory to have the OS when you need to be able to view the screen to install the OS anyways!|||most will if your talking about in the bios. if you dont have an image on the screen on post try the on-board or a different card and check see if there might be something mis-configured in there
might have to change the primary display. also make sure the computer is posting it should beep once to say it has completed|||Nope. You Need drivers for the card to operate, and drivers are usually part of the OS|||Define "image".

What video card should i get?
I have the ati radoen 9250 for almost 2 years. It's now time for me to switch a new video card. I want one that isn't expensive, which cost round 80 to 70 dollars Canadian money. Must be a very good for gaming, like improves the frame rate.Which one should i get?|||9250s are in PCI and in AGP, so make sure of which one you have. Now, first of all, 80 Canadian is not going to be enough to really get you anything decent. Save up another 20 or 30 Canadian and you'll get something literally twice as powerful. Though, if you do have PCI, you're still kind of out of luck. The best card would be an X1550, which is much better than a 9250, but isn't going to run games all that great. With AGP though, you've got plenty of options, but you're still going to want to save a little more money.|||this one is ok its better than the one you have http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/… it won't run new games at anything above low but it will run games form 2005 and under pretty well|||Look here:http://www.tomshardware.com/2007/06/11/t…
Prices are US but a month old so probably about right.
I hope this helps.
Jim|||look heres my suggestion, as much as i hate to say it, you cant get a decent card for that little anymore, and if you did you would have to replace it soon anyway, with all these high end games coming out now.
anything in the nvidea ge-force line is good
in particular i like the 8900 gt
its around 200-300

Optiplex MT GX620 video card for gaming?
I am contemplating buying a new video card because mine is integrated. I want my computer to be able to play anything an xbox 360 can. I have a pentium 4 3.2 ghz and 3.5 gb of ram. I really want to know, is the 4770 radeon recommended? Will I have to upgrade my 305W stock psu? I can't find any answers for my specific computer and am new at installing anything but RAM!|||No...
You'll need a new CPU, since the Pentium 4s are all outdated, and can't play any recent games. However, they only use the 478 socket, and the most powerful processor on that is the P4. Thus, you'll need to buy a new CPU and motherboard. However, the RAM associated with your current motherboard probably won't work for a newer one (it could, but it's not something I'll bet on), so you'll probably be looking at some new RAM. Then to support it all, you'll probably need to get a better PSU. Then you can look for a video card.
If you plan to keep your current CPU and stuff (your PSU works), then buying a 4770 will be a waste of money. It will be severely bottlenecked by your CPU, and won't reach it's potential.

same thing happened to me when i tried to install Black and White 2.|||The best thing to do is to upgrade your video card. 34MB video RAM is ancient. You need at least a graphics card with 128MB of video RAM. This way, the game will install successfully and wouldn't destroy your PC. By the way, if you only have a pentium III CPU, upgrade it too. As well as the RAM ( not the one on the card but the main RAM. You should have at least 256MB of it though it is still slow and 1GB or so is the way to go.
GTA & all other games/applications ask for a certain amount of physical or RAM memory so they can swap & execute files once per access correctly. The program needs to load all of a file & will not operate using bits of it.

How can I identify a video card?
I recently purchased a used computer but I need the drivers for the card. I know that it is a "nvidia geforce" but i cant find anyplace to look up the serial number.|||For the most part the driver/software you download use the same file
after you install the drivers it will tell you lol|||a video care will usually have a female connection at one end of it that allows a male monitor plug to plug in into it.|||the cereal number is on the inside of the monitor box. you have to unscrew your monitor and flip it upside down to see it. sometimes you have to flash a decoder light on it to see it, this is to prevent theft. I know this is a fact becuase the man at wal mart told me how computers are made and how they run and use energy like human cells. just think of the video card as a DandA part of the cell. how it operates the hole computer.
hope this answer helps!!!|||Nvidea uses a unified driver for their Geforce line. That means that all Geforce cards use the same driver. You can download it from Nvidia's site.|||serial should be on a piece of small paper on the card this is the serial number if not then sorry its the only place that can be|||control panel system device tab it should tell you there what ur video card is and should have a button that says upgrade now and will ask you if you want to look on the hard drive or connect to the internet to get the drivers for it I hope that i was some help best of luck|||If you just need the drivers, you don't need the serial number.
start - run - type "dxdiag" - click the dispay tab.

what would cause a video card to fail?
my computer screen is flickering slightly and the bottom half of the screen is a different color tint and lags when i move my curser.
could this be caused by a failing video card?|||overheating/broken fan. or it could just be a loose cable, or one with a bent pin|||It's probably overheating. Download MSI Afterburner, EVGA Precision, or Nvidia Control Monitor and check how hot the temperatures are getting while gaming. If it's 90*c + it's probably broken. Most GPUs can take 80*c for long periods of time, but it'll decrease the life by about a year or so.|||It could be that the video card has reached its limit. A little more information on make and model would help you more. Some problems would be a defect in the card, not enough power from the psu, bad drivers, or even not installing the gpu properly in the pci slots. *videocards dont have pins*

Finding video card slot without opening case?
My friend wants to pick up a video card for his computer, but he doesn't want to open the case just to see what type of card he should get. Is there any way to find out without opening the case? Thanks!|||If it's a Windows PC, ask your friend to open Properties by right-clicking My Computer on the desktop, then choose Device Manager under the Hardware tab. Here he'll find the display adapter(s) and the list of different USB, video/graphics- and sound- card slots. The graphics slots can be PCI for older systems, AGP and/or PCI-Express for newer ones. It can be also checked by pressing Delete to enter BIOS during booting and viewing the component configuration there. Your friend can also use the free SiSandra Lite hardware look-up tool available from www.sisoftware.com to see the PC's installed devices in detail.|||He can either check the manuals that came with hid computer or go to the computer's manufacturer's website and enter his particualr model number under the support section.|||Tell him to stop being lazy and undo the 2 screws that hold the side cover on!|||The only other ways to find out rather than opening that damn case is having the motherboard manual in hand|||Windows (if he runs windows)
Start>Allprograms>accessories>systemto… information
in the hardware section you can find if the video card info.|||Tell him to download System Information For Windows from http://www.gtopala.com/
It'll tell him all he needs to know about his computers hardware. Including what motherboard he has. Once he knows what motherboard he has, he can google it and see what graphics card slot it has and therefore what cards it will support.

What is your favorite ATI video card brand and why? (TRUE FACTS ONLY)?
I plan on buying a new video card because the ASUS 48701G DK causes my monitor to go blank while playing games like mass effect 2 modern warfare 2 etc. I plan on buying the 5870 from sapphire but first I want to know what brand has best customer support, quality of card etc.
and don't mention ASUS because their card causes problems and I couldn't even get help from customer support.
Thanks in advance!|||In my opinion XFX has pretty beastly support. I have an XFX HD 5870. They have like 5 year online support and a lifetime warranty (i think). Plus their card is wicked looking :). I don't have anything against any other brands of cards, by the way.

Will dual video card using SLI ready improve the gaming performance ?
im using NVIDIA 9500 GT 1GB and it is GREAT in gaming performance , My question is if i plugged in another 9500 GT 1GB and connected them with eachother using SLI tech in order to make DUAL VIDEO CARD . WILL IT IMPROVE THE GAMING PERFORMANCE . will i be able to play CRYSIS at very high details > with x16 Antialiasing with each game ? will it improve 100% ? i want every details . thnx|||You'd be better off selling that 9500 GT and getting a single GTX 260 instead.
SLi doesn't give you double the performance -- especially not in Crysis. The game itself has to be coded in a way that utilizes multiple GPU's, and even then you're looking at around a 50-60% boost with a second card installed.
What kind of resolutions are you running in your games anyway? The 9500 GT barely runs a decent first person shooter from 2008... let alone Crysis.|||The real question here is the specs on your motherboard and your processor.
You can have SLI enabled, crushing the two most powerful cards out there but if you have a cruddy processor or a motherboard with only 800MHz front side bus you're going to have one heck of a bottleneck.
Can we get more info on your motherboard / processor?
p.s. I crossfire my cards (AMD's version of nVidia's SLI) and it certainly does boost the performance, but its not double what one card does. I've never seen it double it. So instead of spending the money to SLI it all and deal with the headache's of getting it to work (trust me there are a lot of them) I'd just save up and get a better, badder card.|||I am afraid the answer is NO. Most people believe that SLI or CF will give them twice the processing power of the Video Cards and that is wrong, first if you connect 2 Nvidia GPUs in SLI each of the same type (this case 9500 core 550MHz 1GB) you won't have a 2GB 1.1 GHz System, the master card is 550MHz - 1 GB so the entire system will be tied to that specs. Crysis is one of the most demanding games nowadays and even 2 9500's SLI connected won't be able to give you a smooth game play, at least not maxed out. Is not the same to play a game 1280*1024 maxed out than @ 1680* 1050 or higher.
So my best advice for you is: Save until you have the money to buy a better GPU, buying video cards is an investment so be wise on how you spend your money, buy a GPU that will work with Crysis now and the kind of games you want to play in the future.

Can i replace the video card in an acer aspire one a150 netbook with a better one?
is there anything i can do to get a better video card in this thing|||No, unless you decide to replace the motherboard. Doing so probably wouldn't be worth the time and money. Netbooks, like laptops, have integrated video chipsets. Integrated graphics cannot be taken out and replaced since they are integrated into the motherboard.
The least I can do is to recommend you to try freeing up as much resources as you can when you want to push the video on the netbook. Close all other applications, keep your registry clean, keep your hard drive trimmed, or if you want to go all out, do a clean restore on your hard drive. Doing so removes any pre-installed junk programs that come with a new netbook.|||Agreed, unless your laptop is specific, it usually can't be changed, the only one I know is an Acer Aspire 7474G - I of course have the one that is integrated and unchangeable. But the G series of the aspire do have user-replaceable graphics cards. But yea like Pertient said, you're kinda stuck especially with a netbook.

My video card burned out. Is this a good enough replacement?
Nvidia Geforce 9500 GT with 1gb memory. The video card that burned out was a 7600 GS with 256 mb memory. Sorry. I don't know what any of these mean. I'm just asking because the built in motherboard video card doesn't seem to run my apps like Google Earth or Sims 2,3 properly. I'm just wondering if they'd run in the new video card.|||Well, you can't be completely sure. If you know enough about your motherboard, then this will make sense. I looked up your old graphics card, and it said that the slot it fit in was a PCI Express x16 slot. Well, the graphics card you would like requires a PCI Express x16 2.0 slot. So, if you know that your computer's motherboard has one of those slots, then you should be fine, if it doesn't, then it's not worth buying it at all. Otherwise, it should play those just fine.

Recommended choices to keep video card cool?
I have a Radeon X1650 512ram (agp) and it works fine. I just learned that its idle temp sits around 62C and I would like to have this lowered. I've worked on lowering cpu temperatures before but never a video card, so for those folks who also have ATI cards, which products would you recommend for keeping it cool as well? (have one slot open next to the video card, but the backside seems to get hot and theres no room to put anything there.)|||62 isn't bad. Only worry if it gets above 80 or so. You could try a pci slot cooler, or install an aftermarket heatsink on the card. Installing a heatsink is tricky though. Make sure you have good airflow through your case. You should have a fan sucking in the front and a fan blowing out the back.
It is also a good idea to have a side panel fan blowing in, onto the video card.|||the 9800 x2 pwns all. Good cards though would be the 8800 serious GT ultra and gtx.|||liquid cooling ftw

should i start thinking about throwing it out the window?... :-S|||A dead cooler can definitely fry a video card, those thing get really hot.
I would think if you can get into windows your card is probably ok, but it may not be supported anymore, if you want to play any really good games, I would suggest getting a better card anyway.|||TALK TO NVIDIA'S SUPPORT (TRY FINDING THE TOLL FREE NUMBER) THEY SHOULD HELP BUT IF I WERE U I'D JUST TRY TO CLEAN OFF THE DUST......AND U SAID ABOUT BURING OUT WELL I GUESS IT MIGHT BECAUSE WHY WOULD THEY PUT IT THERE....WELL LIKE I SAID THE BEST IS TO GIVE THEM A CALL OR IF YOU CANT I SUGGEST YOU CALL COMPUSA AND ASK FOR THERE TECH.|||Your card may be fried. I've lost a couple that way. Both Radeons though.
My solution was to get regular case fans and mount them beneath the video card so they blow air up to the card where the small card fan is. This way if the small fan fails, there is still enough air circulation to keep the card running cool.
And those little fans are hard to find for replacement sometimes.
But, first make sure you are trying to install the proper drivers for your specific card. If you have checked this and still they will not install, then probably something is burnt on the card.|||Is your card an Nvidia card or one of those knockoffs that use Nvidia chipsets like sapphire or chaintech They have drivers for them on their website.

Sapphire Radeon 4830 256-bit video card with 512MB GDDR3 good for gaming?
There is a computer with this graphics card and im wondering if it is good for games like Brink, Fable 3, and WoW.|||good enough for Fable 3 and WoW. It'll run Brink but don't expect it to look good. If you want something affordable, go for a Radeon HD 5770 or higher 5 model... Even the 5670 is OKAY
Personally I would go with an Nvidia card instead of AMD/ati because they come with PhsyX which is used on a lot of newer games. The GTX 460 would probably be perfect for you, and I'm sure you can find one for $120 or less. It definitely beats out the HD 5770 and 5670 with no problem.|||Brink takes alot I have a Radeon 6800 with 1gb and it can play brink. But you DEFINATELY want a video card with at least 1gb of memory not 512MB|||No, yes, yes
What I mean by this is that brink requires more power than FBEIII or WoW
