Graphics Cards

DX9 is a shorter version of the word DirectX 9. There are different ones like DirectX 8 but DirectX 10 is the most popular today. If you want more information on it just type it in on google.com or look it up on tigerdirect.com

When it comes to gaming it is usually better to have a graphics card that isn't an integrated one unless it is a good brand like ATI or Nvidia. With that said, Battlefield 4 is a new game and generally new games require newer hardware to run smoothly. This is mainly due to the visuals of the game being so resource hungry.

With that said, Battlefield 4 will more than likely see performance issues if you are playing it on a computer/laptop that is processing all the graphics and animation using an Intel HD graphics card. 6GB of RAM should be plenty enough though to run the game nicely but the problems in performance that will most likely happen will be a result of the Intel graphics card.

If you do see performance issues when running Battlefield 4 then you can always try to lower the graphic settings in the game as well as running it in windowed mode. That might help the game to run more smoothly.

Yes the PC will still run, however if the motherboard does not have an onboard video port you will not have any video at all..

Well first of all, you dont add video ram to a video card. The ram is soldiered onto the video card. In order to upgrade your video ram, you will have to replace the video card.

Doing so will benefit you in any 3-d applications (games) you run. If you arent much of a gamer, you probably wont benefit at all, if you are a gamer, a new video card can breathe a whole new life into your old computer.

You can play a wide selection of older games, though to play newer ones, you'll probably want a new computer, or get a console.

As long as you go price-hunting, you can get a very decent computer for around $1000 (US/Aus), even if it's pre-assembled.

Any integrated graphics chip draws upon the system RAM. Only discrete graphics, or graphics cards, have their separate RAM supply.

Should have 1 PCI-e x16 (164-pin) connector...

You can't. i tried i can't find them anywhere. i don't think Bill Chappell makes them anymore.

Graphics Card
EVGA GTX 260 216 55nm

You likely need a better video card. Integrated Intel cards are generally not suitable for more demanding games.

The answer to your question is http://www.editingonacid.com/forums/ i don't no whether that's the exact URL just copy and paste it on Google.

yes if you have a large cabinet a mid tower or full tower you can change your Graphic card

in case of using a new GPu then your intergrated card will be disabled!

be sure to get a proper Psu to pwer it!

Good Luck

No its not better, a Gb is amount to 1024 Mb :P

yes,Definitely i play with medium setting with antistropic filtering on 16x and anti aliasing at 2x MSAA on the minimized(Which is actually not that small,size of a 1280 by 720 laptop screen). My specs: AMD Athlon II 650 X4 3.2 GHz, ATI Radeon HD 4200, 8GB DDR3, Windows 7 64-bit Home Premium. Add me on steam:iamwatching2011 And i do play add-on maps

depends on the quality. 640x480 would be about 15 minutes. to put it into perspective, that's what an iPhone records at.

yes

The 82945G Express Chipset is not a graphics card, it is a motherboard chipset. Your motherboard may have an onboard video card, but this is not it. However, a motherboard which uses the 82945G chipset should be perfectly capable of supporting a video card which has pixel shader 1.1 & higher.

First of GOD OF WAR 2 is not for PC but if you are asking if it can handle PCSX2 GOD OF WAR 2 no it won't. You need at least a dual-core or core 2 duo processor to run PCSX2 and a way better graphic card yours you have now it's pretty outdated, it can't even run PC games like COD4.

• Video processing
• Photoshop
• video editing
• compiling stuff with graphics

Yes you can - this applies to Desktop computers

however - laptops usually use an on-board graphics card - the manufacturer will usually offer an upgrade service

On medium-high graphics at max resolution. Yes it will. You will get some lag as it is a very, very, very, very, very big game.

Yes you can.

But the game lags,takes a while to load,and the main menu screen also lags.

But yes you can run it.I tried it out.

There is no reason why the combination will not work, as there is nothing preventing an Intel processor malfunctioning with a ATI graphics card or vice versa. Just be careful that both components can fit on the motherboard.

Yes. Spore is pretty much outdated, so you won't even need that much graphics. However, you will need some graphics for DarkSpore, which you do.

Any graphic cards its upto you what you choose and how much money you have in your pocket the more you pay on graphic the better you get and also you need a good power supply with a good brand also like Cooler Master, Cosair, Thermal Master etc......
