Graphics Cards

A gaming video card records your game play, as a gamer it might be a useful tool to record your game play to share online or with friends. This is a very useful tool.

Read the manual, search for the card online, or check the connector.

it is a bit high, especially at idle. that temp wont damage the card but im sure it must get higher when you play any games or do something graphically intensive.

Was this temp recorded right after doing such an activity? if so, then this is a perfectly fine temp.

also, if you are running folding@home or a similar program, then this will increase your idle temps.

try turning up the fan speed on the card if you can. if not, take of the side panel on your computer and put a fan blowing inside. just make sure you dont get anything inside the computer while its running

Police scanners are radios that monitor the police channels on the police radio. You can hear the officers being dispatched to calls and hear them talking back and forth. Be aware, however, that since 9/11 most big-city police radio channels are now encrypted and cannot be monitored.

No. The miminum requirement for an AMD card is the Radeon HD 6480G. For an Nvidia card it is the GeForce GT 440.

* FX 5500 Model * NV34 Codename * 2:4:4 Core Design * 270/200 core/mem * 64 or 128 Bit Memory Bus An entry level chip. Replacement for GeForce4 MX family. Quadro FX 330, 500, 600 is based on the GeForceFX 5200. The GeForce FX 5100 is an uncommon cutdown FX5200 available in 64 and 128 MB sizes, it was available only in AGP, and used a lower clocked nv34 core. Lacked IntelliSample technology. No lossless color compression or Z compression. PCX uses AGP to PCIe bridge chip for use on PCIe motherboards. Has 2 pixel pipelines if pixel shading is used, but a "fast" 4x1 mode exists as well. Each pixel pipe = 1 FP32 ALU handling 2 TMUs + 2 FX12 Mini-ALU (each one can do 2 MULs or 1 ADD or 1 MAD)

Pie Chart

Personal Computer Memory Card International Association In computing, PC card (originally PCMCIA card) is the form factor of a peripheral interface designed for laptop computers. It was originally for memory expansion, but the existence of a usable general standard for notebook peripherals led to all manner of devices being made available in this form. Typical devices include network cards, modems and hard disks.

hi you can play all games on very low details or you cant play.its very slow

Yes. But you should also check the size of your case. Since you have a MicroATX motherboard, your case probably won't be too big either.

Yes. Some relatively recent PCI graphics cards are available, which will fit into any of the three PCI slots on the motherboard.

The debug command is usually helpful in identifying the video card. To start debug: Click on "Start" then click "Run" Type in "debug" then click "OK" You will be presented with a "-" prompt. Type in "d c000:0000" then press enter. You will see something like this: C000:000055 AA 78 EB 4B 37 34 30-30 E9 4C 19 77 CC 56 49U.x.K7400.L.w.VI

This time, we can see information which identifies our video card. In this case, a GeForce FX 5200. If the video card still can't be identified by this step, try the following commands, pressing enter after each one. d c000:0150
d c000:01c0
d c000:0230
If after these 3 additional commands, the video card isn't identified, the case will need to be opened to physically inspect the video card.

You can upgrade it from Intel x4500 to Nvidia 210m. You have to find the motherboard and change it. Really bad nvidia card, not worth it at all.

Too little air flow caused by dirty filters, a dirty evaporator coil, a dirty blower or one that is set on too slow a speed or a loose fan belt if you have one are the most common. A mismatched condenser and evaporator, air somehow bypassing the evapoartor coil, low refrigerant charge due to a refrigerant leak. Running the house temp down too low, closed or blocked return grilles and/or supply registers, long piping runs with out sufficiently increasing the pipe size, and improperly sized ductwork are some of the tougher ones to diagnose.

The GeForce 8400 GS is an Nvidia graphics card suitable for use in a PC. The main advantages of this card are that this is one of the latest cards of its type, having full support for Microsoft DirectX 10 and that it promises film quality game effects.

Nvidia's GTX cards are the company's fastest and most powerful GPUs, the GTS cards are upper-mid range, and the GT are mid-range cards, while the G are the lower end cards.

GTX (etc GTX 660, GTX 670, GTX 680) are the cards made for hardcore gaming.

GTS (etc GTS 450) are the cards made for fluent gaming or decent settings.

GT ( GT 640) are mid-range cards made to run some modern games, just casual gaming.

G (G 210) are low end cards just used to accelerate videos, and even run some games, but not at high resolutions or details.

These all apply for Nvidia's Mobile GPUs. Except they will have "M" for mobility

ex: GTX 670M

Depends on the size of your case and your motherboard.

There shouldn't be a problem with it.

SLI stands for Scalable Link Interface, and is an nVidia technology that allows two or more of the same graphics card to run in parallel, thus giving a performance increase.

A TV tuner card is an input card that allows computer to receive television signals (digital or analog). A video card a.k.a. graphics card is an output card that allows to generate and output images to a display.

this is the consumer level graphics cards from the manufacturer Nvidia. These are meant for running games and normal, everyday applications like the internet.

The other line nvidia makes is called the Quadro series which is a workstation call graphics card. these are made for doing complex calculations like 3D modeling
