Is 1GB graphic card enough for gaming?

Usually for the latest games you need at least 2-3 GB of ram to run it smoothly. It also depends on the graphics card, as having a decent one will greatly improve your gaming experience. So, 1 GB of ram is not very good for most games. You could also look on the back of case of the game to see the system requirements, It will usually say what the game runs best on. If it says that it needs at least 1GB of ram you should be good to go, but if it is any higher you should consider buying another Ram stick and installing it into your computer if you can, or just playing a different game

How much is a video card?

This is a very broad question. The price of a video card can change greatly depending on it's specs and it's age. You can probably find an older video card for like $20 and if you want a top of the line new one be expected to spend around $150 - $500

What are the classification of graphics card?

Video Card types and tips for buying oneThere are a few cards available by different manufacturers. The standard for laptops and cheaper computers are integrated cards that are fused into the motherboard. These do not work as well. THen there are PCI card graphics cards that are much more variable in speed and memory. The best cards can support multiple monitors and are very fast. If you are wanting to do gaming, then I recommend buying a card with high memory (128-256 MB of RAM). For gaming, I would recommend a card made by ATI. If you are wanting to use two monitors or do video editing, I would recommend a card made by Nvidia. They have high processing speed and high memory. The most important factors are memory (in Mega-bytes or MB) and bus (or core) speed (usually in MHz. Around 400 MHz is best for video editing). I would not recommend a card that is not made by Nvidia or ATI. They usually are not very well built and the software conflicts with most programs.

What are the names of the two technologies used to install multiple video cards in the same system?

SLI or Crossfire
Nvidia - SLI ( Scalable Link Interface )

AMD/ATi - CrossFire
SLI and CrossFire

What does graphic memory do?

Graphic Memory is random access memory (RAM) which is used specifically to represent the image displayed upon your computer's screen or monitor. If your monitor's resolution is 1920 x 1080 then you have 2,073,600 pixels in total, each of which has to be mapped to a memory address. At 32-bit colour depth, each pixel is represented by 4 bytes of graphic memory, which equates to 8,294,400 bytes in total (approximately 7.91 megabytes). If you have an extended desktop using 2 or 3 monitors at the same resolution and colour depth, then the amount of memory required to represent your desktop doubles or trebles accordingly.

Due the high demands of graphics hardware, graphic memory needs to be as fast as possible to keep frame rates as high as possible. System memory is a compromise between speed and cost but is generally far too slow for heavy-duty graphics. Thus graphics cards generally provide their own auxiliary graphic memory which is much faster than system memory and is one of the reasons why graphics cards are so expensive.

Can you use ddr3 memory with ddr2 chipset?

Unfortunately, no. DDR RAM will not work in a DDR2 motherboard, and DDR2 RAM will not work on a DDR3 motherboard.

There are a few motherboards that have slots for both DDR and DDR2, so it is conceivable that there could be motherboards with slots for both DDR2 and DDR3.

How can you tell if your video card supports pixel shader version 1 or higher?

You need to be asking about your graphics card. A modem is used for a phone line connection, and therefore does nothing with pixel shading. You need to get a graphics card to do that.

Does Radeon 7500 have pixel shader 2.0?

No,and sadly i have the same graphics card...but somehow it does support 3.0 though? i think 3.0 is just 2.0 for cards not supporting 2.0 sooo.... yeah some 3.0 stuff might show up black and pink in squares on some stuff.

Graphics card is like your view of your screen on games better Graphics Card or Chipset better looks of your viewing and Detail... but 4+ RAM helps on Major detailed games too... hope this helps ya :)

How can you plug a PCI-e card into a PCI slot?

No you can not plug a PCI card into a PCI-Express slot. PCI and PCI-Express slots are physically of different size and differ in connectivity. - Neeraj Sharma True, you cannot directly connect a PCI card to a PCI Express slot, partly because the physical slot design is different, but also because PCI and PCI Express handle data in completely different manners. There are however, adapters available that will enable you to connect a PCI card to a PCI Express slot through an interface that "translates" PCI signals to signals that PCI Express can read. They are available in single PCI to PCIe configurations, but those require a bit of extra space within the chassis if your computer. You need to make sure you have the required space available. There are also adapters available that include a PCIe card with a serial(?) port to which you connect a cable that attaches to an expansion box that accepts multiple PCI cards. One example can be found here:

http://www.virtuavia.eu/shop/pci-express-to-pci-expansion-box-p29809.html

Of course, you should remember that using one of these means you are pumping four PCI card's worth of information through a single PCIe slot. You need to do your homework before just randomly plugging four cards into an adapter like that. A combination of Firewire and USB cards may not be a problem, whereas combining video and sound cards could present problems. Due diligence is certainly called for! For a better understanding of my edit to this answer, you may want to read the discussion area.

What is the best graphics card 2011?

The ATI 6990 has the highest frame rates, however the gtx 590 has similar frame rates and more graphics capability's such as higher tessellation and ray-tracing.

So if you're all about speed, the ATI 6990 is the best in that department however if you want your games to look as good as they possibly can then the gtx 590 is for you.
