Graphics Cards

Riser card

This is a good site for answers and i got them for sure.... Processor is your Engine... RAM is your Gas... HDD is your Cargo ... NorthBridge and South Bridge is your High Way... Graphics Card is Your View and sorroundings ... that will be in CAR term if u know about cars... 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 :)

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:

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!

yes, put your blargon in your derpenhagenjarp

PCI express x16

Is the absolute fastest at the moment.

If you want to be crazy buy a motherboard that supports ATI crossfire or nVIDIA SLI, where upto 4 Cards can be ran at the same time.

No it can not you will need to buy a graphics card there is no other way besides On board Graphics

well, there are several types of VGA cables. the full form model is less common than the 2X or the half form. the full form is actually just a longer half form VGA cable that is plugged into the v-drive instead of a MC-16 drive. it is generally only used for macs.

hope it helped

In a PC made in the past 5 years there are two kinds of video cards, AGP and PCI-E. If you have a manual for your computers motherboard, or if you can look it up on the factory's web site that might be the easiest way.

If that doesn't work you can open up the side case and If you do a google search for "agp slot" or "pcie slot" it will display pictures of each type.

If you are still clueless you may have to ask a geek friend. Worst case, you can take your computer to a computer store and they will charge you an arm and a leg to upgrade your card.

There is also a website called www.canirunit.com that will (with no viruses, spyware or malware) scan your system to see if it can run certain games (which is a good system check tool whether you want to play a specific game or not). Once the scan is complete, it will tell you what on your system passes and what doesn't. There is a 'Recommended' tab right next to the 'Minimum' specs tab that will offer accurate upgrade suggestions. This is a good place to start looking for graphic card upgrades.

According to Passmark's published data, they are about the same, and both are poor choices for gaming. You will find them both on the mid-range page. The exact numbers depend on the specific 3rd party implementation of the chipset.

For a budget card that is around $100, I'd go with either a AMD Radeon HD 7750 or a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460. The GTX 460 is a Dual DVI Video Card w/HDMI & HDCP Support. It performs nearly twice as well as the HD 7750. It has no VGA sockets and requires 2 of the 6-pin PCIe video card power plugs, so if your power supply lacks those, you might want the 7750 instead.

# Power off computer # Open computer case ## If your current video card is integrated (meaning the moniter plugs into the motherboard, look on both sides of the case) then ignore step 3 # Remove old video card # Insert new video card into any slot of correct size Do not force the card in, but be firm and make sure it is securely connected completely. Once you have done all this, close the computer case and boot up and install the driver software included with your new video card. WARNING: Touch the metal frame of the computer before touching the card itself or your motherboard, as a static electricity buildup can damage your computer.

According to Minecraft forums, your card must support open gl 1.4, minimum. Open gl 2.0 and 128M of dedicated vid is recommended. There's a free version. Try it and see before buying.

For windows XP I know how, but for nothing else. Click on Start, then Control Panel, then System, then Device Manager under the hardware tab. There you can find your graphics card. you can also see info on it by looking it up on a website call tigerdirect.com. I hope that this was most helpful.

Video cards are usually available anyplace you can buy a computer or computer equipment including computer stores, electronic stores, or department stores that sell computers. You can also get them from internet stores including amazon or ebay.

You can by it from computer parts stores

By basic definition a multimedia computer needs to have both Audio and Video capabilities. Today, even the most basic of computers meet the general requirements to be considered multimedia. However the quality of the multimedia experience is affected these components:

Processor/RAM: More powerful processors with more memory improve Gaming types of "media"

Graphics: If you are gaming or watching High Definition movies a better GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) will increase your frame-rate and give you higher resolutions along with optional features including multi-monitor support, HDMI output, 3D capability and on-board codec decompression which frees up your computer's main processor for other things.

Sound: Stereo output is the norm. But many sound cards are capable of full surround output up to 7.1 with either digital output through HDMI or optical TOSlinc.

Media Source: Your favorite movies and music have to come from somewhere, right? So your multimedia computer will usually have some sort of optical drive such as a CD, DVD or Bluray drive. Media can also be stored on flash drives, hard drives or streamed via Ethernet, wi-fi or other wired or wireless networks.

Software: I know, this is not "hardware" by it's very definition. But should be considered as well. A great multimedia computer is useless without the appropriate software. For instance, if you plan on playing Bluray movies in your computer, you will want research the few software suites that even support Bluray playback.

u are not mentioned which OS u r using if u are using Win2K or above that it will detect automatically when we are trying to reinstall it.if u are using adapters just check the adapter and search on internet for getting the drive.if it OS onboard check what is ur mothher board type.then search on Websites.Thanx

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;307873 This article indicates that WinXP supports up to 10 monitors. Many video cards will support 2 monitors. If you install two such cards, then you may connect 4 monitors. Add video cards as long as you have empty PCI slots in the PC.

Graphics make it look like you spent more time on it. Make a presentation visually pleasing, it'll make it much more likely to be take seriously.

msconfig

Shader Model 3.0 support can be implemented either in software or hardware. In the case of a software implementation, you can download it. One example of a software graphics implementation that supports Shader Model 3.0 level capabilities is SwiftShader.

For hardware support, which is generally faster, you can't download it. It's a feature of the hardware itself so you'll need to upgrade your graphics card if you current one doesn't support it.

Array Technology Industry

Yes

One reason is to allow cooling air to get between the cards. Many people who think they know computers have used every expansion card slot they have and cooked the computer
To help prevent them from overheating.
