The bus, for example: PCI-Express (x1, x4, x16) or PCI, or AGP. To imagine this for yourself, it's the slot in your pc, on your motherboard, with that slot, your video card will have to be compatible with. this means, you can't insert a PCI-Express Video Card into an AGP slot. :)

How will you know if the video card you have is compatible to your slot?

To determine if your video card is compatible with your slot, first, check the type of slot on your motherboard, typically PCIe (Peripheral Component Interconnect Express) for modern cards. Then, verify the video card's connector type; it should match the motherboard slot (e.g., PCIe x16). Additionally, consult the motherboard’s specifications and the video card’s requirements to ensure compatibility in terms of size, power supply, and cooling.


How do I know if my desktop computer has a APG or a PCI slot for my video card?

The best way is to E-mail your pc mfg. and ask what your motherboard uses.


Do you need a video card or can you use the video integrated on the motherboard?

It depends on what you are doing and if you have a desktop or a laptop. If you are a gamer, then you will know if you need to upgrade to a better video card to play the game. If not, then you will probably be fine with the integrated one, unless you are running high - end business programs. Oh, and if you have a laptop then you cannot upgrade or change the video card at all. You should know if you need a better one.

What video card is attached to the mother board?

If you just want to know what videocard you got in your computer, press start > run (just the search box in win7) and type "dxdiag" (without quotes) and press enter. click the video tab and it will tell you the name of your video adapter. another way: if it is onboard video, the specs of the motherboard will tell you. or if its a card, the card will tell you.


Why is the display not working after a BSOD with irql less than or equal error for both the graphics card and the integrated card on motherboard?

Sounds like the integrated video card died. An integrated component can fail, just like an add-on card can. Don't dispair though, it doesn't mean you need to replace your motherboard. You can purchase an add-on card, you will need to know if you can use a PCI or AGP card. You can probably use a PCI card. Most motherboards will automatically disable the integrated video when you insert an add-on card. Be sure to ground yourself to the chassis by touching it before inserting any add-on card. A new display card will range in price, it can be more than a new motherboard, or can cost more.


How do you decide which expansion card is the video card?

The main way to tell which expansion card is the video card is to look at the plug. If it has a VGA socket, a display port socket, HDMI, etc., then you will know it is a video card. You may identify some of the chips on the card as being RAM, or you might find a fan on it, but these features are not exclusive to video cards. If that is the place where you plug your monitor, then it is a video card, unless of course you are plugging directly into the motherboard.


Just reimaged your machine and you cannot find the video controller driver how do you tell what kind of card you have?

The easiest solution is this: Open up your computer chassis and LOOK. The more advanced operating systems will usually check for updated drivers automatically, so this isn't a issue. Some video "cards" are actually video chipsets integrated into a motherboard...and you can find the motherboard specifications online if you know the model numbers (also obtained by looking)


Why won't work p4vxasd2 with fx5200 cgn-346tvd?

Hi, I believe the GeForce FX5200 is a 128MB DDR video card and its compatible with an AGP 8x interface. Since I have the same motherboard, P4VXASD2, I know for a fact that this motherboard does not support the AGP 8x interface, and on the contrary, the FX5200 is a AGP 8x card and I am pretty sure it is not backwards compatible with AGP 4x which in fact is supported by your motherboard. If you are looking for a video card in the same/lower price range, I would recommend you to buy the ATI Radeon 9200/9200SE/9250 because they support upto a max. of 8x and they are also backwards compatible with the AGP 4x. I hope that answers your question.


If you open your PC how do you know what the video card is?

Look for an oblong shaped brick/card with fans on it that has many video ports on it.
