1gb graphics cards vs 2gb graphics cards in PS5.1

What is the advantage of using a 2gb graphics card over a 1gb one. Is it say when I am opening many images say over 20 if i have a 1gb card it will start to use system memory where a 2gb will use more of its own?

Using a 2GB Graphics card will mean you will have more dedicated memory for task related to rendering images, while allowing Photoshop still use system memory for everything else. For example if you have allocated in your preferences for Photoshop to use 4GB of your 6GB of system memory and you also havea 2GB Graphics Card, then the total resources Photoshop has available for all task is 6GB, 2GB dedciated specifically for rendering, animating, zooming shading, 3D graphics, rendering filters and so on.
This also means you have more multi-tasking power. Most people will tell you that Photoshop is CPU heavy and not GPU heavy so that more RAM and better Processors are more important than your video card. However what they are neglecting is that any resources you free up are to your advantage, so any CPU and RAM that the GPU free's up means its more for you to use elsewhere. Make sense? The more overall power you have at any level means that resources can be spared accordingly.

Hi,
Same GPU but more RAM will perform better. You have to make decision before hand, upgrading it is a pain.

2GB SD card shows only 1GB after formatting

I've formatted 2GB flash card using this utility. After this operation card had a strange file system, so I've foramtted the card using windows utility and card is visible as 1GB flash card.
How can I foramt this card as 2GB?

I have found some information that to solve this issue, you need the Toshiba SD Memory Card Format Utility V2.1.0.0. If you use an older version of the Toshiba SD Memory Card Format Utility and you format a 2GB SD card, this leads to a formatted 1GB SD card.
Solution:
1. Uninstall the old version of Toshiba SD Memory Card Format Utility from your computer
2. Download the Toshiba SD Memory Card Format Utility V2.1.0.0
3. Install Toshiba SD Memory Card Format Utility V2.1.0.0

Slimline s5-1010 - HDMI graphics card upgrade, what graphics cards will work in slimline box?

Slimline s5-1010 - HDMI graphics card upgrade, what graphics cards will work in slimline box? Cheap will do, under 100. Has 1 PCI Express x16, but the slot on back of pc looks about 2" too short for this?

Hi-
I think you will find there are more users of the ATI Radeon 9800 that DON'T have a 300w PSU, than those that do. It would leave out the majority of the G4 line if it were absolutely necessary. As I see it, it isn't absolutely necessary, and, it is also the ONLY higher end upgrade graphics card commercially produced for 2x, 4x AGP systems, most of which, DON'T have a 300w PSU.
My Sawtooth has a 237w PSU, and the 9800, and my processor upgrade, and 2 internal drives, all work just fine!
As for the piggyback connection, that is how you connect the power to the 9800. A splitter molex cable is used to split power from the superdrive connection, between the superdrive and the 9800.

[LENOVO Y50-70] How To Set NVIDIA Card as Default Graphic Adapter

I have just bought Lenovo Y50-70. But i wonder how to set NVIDIA Card as default Graphic Adapter instead using Intel Card. Thanks

hi monx,
Welcome to the Forums.
The Y50-70 uses Nvidia Optimus Technology to automatically switch between the Intel GPU (for power saving) and Nvida GPU (for maximum performance).
To manually set the default graphics adapter, you will need to set this inside the Nvidia Control Panel > Manage 3D Settings.

Curious about graphic card drivers for FLASHED cards-

Since Apple only provides video drivers as part of the OS, where do mutant, flashed cards get their driver support from?
I'm not having problems of any kind, the thought suddenly popped in my head, after many years of happily running flashed cards on a DB DP MDD G4 and a G5 Quad.
Thanks in advance.

where do mutant, flashed cards get their driver support from?
Those same drivers.
See, that's part of the "magic" of flashing; changing the codes within the ROM of the flashed card to make that card "look" like an Apple OEM. As long as the ROM coded ID is the same as an Apple OEM cousin, an ID that is included in OS X drivers, then OS X allows access to and full use of the drivers.
Knowing this, one can see why only cards that are very similar to Apple OEM, i.e. same GPU families, are the only ones that can be flashed.
You can't just change the ID of a card that has completely different architecture. There are voltages, VRAM timings, pipeline actualizations, scores of functions that are coded in the ROM but must have relevance to the architecture of the card in which the ROM resides.
OS X has drivers for many families of GPUs, but anything outside that will be unuseable, with no way to add driver support via download (like Windows).
I say "no way", but in some cases, actually hacking the drivers of OS X can allow some close 2nd and 3rd cousins to enjoy some driver support......
In your 7800 GTX cards case, there are drivers for both 7800 GT series and 4500FX series cards in OS X. The GTX has similarities to both, but usually derives support from the 4500FX drivers.

Refurb with 2GB graphics or dual drives?

I'd like to get a refurb imac before they are gone. I'd hold out for one with a 2GB graphics card and both an SSD and HD installed if I thought that configuration would ever come up but I wonder if they are reconfigured to a standard with 4GB mem, 1GB graphics card and either and SSD or HD. In the 27" i7 refurb iMacs that is all I ever see posted. I am not sure if that is simply because they are the most common thing or because Apple resets them to that common base. I'd like to get the highest end refurb that is available. Anyone know if all refurbs are 4GB with either SSD OR 1TB drive and a 1GB graphics card or do some higher end imacs come up on the refurb list occasionally that might have both an SSD and a hard drive already installed?

The Apple refurbs are exactly as described in their individual listings. You just have to watch the listings for an iMac that has the specifications you want.
Basically, most refurbs come furnished exactly as they were when originally delivered ... that is, very few will have specific upgrades beyond the original basic configuration of the model.

Qosmio F750 - How to change dedicated graphics memory to 2GB...

In order to get my Qosmio F750 ready to run some games, I have updated all of the drivers on via the toshiba website and NVIDIA website while also downloading the relevant software. This includes updating the BIOS to version 2.00.
According to the [laptop specifications given on the Toshiba website|http://www.mytoshiba.com.au/products/computers/qosmio/f750/pqf75a-02y00q/specifications],
I should have the following allocation of memory to the graphics:
"4095MB Total: 2048MB dedicated memory + 2047MB shared memory"
When I go to check the Performance Information and Tools window, I get shown the following information:
Graphics
Display adapter type Intel(R) HD Graphics 3000
Total available graphics memory: 1696 MB
Dedicated graphics memory: 64 MB
Dedicated system memory: 0 MB
Shared system memory: 1632 MB
Display adapter driver version: 9.18.13.1422
Primary monitor resolution: 1366x768
DirectX version: DirectX 10
Of course, when I look carefully at the laptop specifications, I realize that the current graphics memory allocation corresponds to the Power Saving Mode i.e. graphics allocation when running on battery power
Normally this would be fine, however, I do not see any change in the info displayed even when I am running on AC power.
I have checked all of my power settings but even when everything is set to 'performance mode', the information displayed stays the same.
I try to look in the system bios to manually change the graphics allocation but no such option exists. Rather all options are set to performance mode...
So my ultimate question is, *How can I change the graphics memory allocation to performance mode as indicated in the system specifications?*
Is this something that occurs automatically without changing the displayed info?
Is there a driver that I have forgotten to update? Has a driver update caused this?
Has a BIOS update caused this?
On a side note, when checking the DirectX Diagnostic Tool, I the directx version is displayed as version 11. So I thought the issue was with the displayed information. But even on the Diagnostic Tool gives me the same info.
I would be very grateful if someone could help me out with this.
Thanks,
Omair

Okay I think I get it now.
The Performance Info and Tools Window only shows the information on the Intel HD Graphics 3000.
When the specs sheet says power saving mode it means graphics using only the Intel HD Graphics.
However because of Optimus, the notebook can use either the Intel GRaphics card or the nVidia GPU.
The performance mode in the specs sheet refers to when the notebook is using the nVidia GPU.
The integrated gpu and the dedicated gpu do not run at the same time but Optimus switched between the 2 of them whenever the situation requires it. Whatever it switches to decides which 'mode' the notebook is using. The memory allocations for these 'modes' will match those of the specs sheet.
But any information about the graphics memory will not change as it only displays the info on the integrated gpu.
Well, I can finally understand what the previous posts were referring to and why the posts themselves were pretty short (there wasn't any problem needing to be fixed!).
Thank you for all of your help Randy, Akuma and PauPau

Formatting 2GB SD card with FAT32 using Disk Utility

Hello
I'm trying to format a 2GB SD card in a card reader/writer to FAT32 using Disk Utility. Unfortunately the only option available under the Erase button is "MS-DOS File System (FAT16)". I need to do this to upgrade the firmware in my Sony TV which requires a FAT32 formatted USB device.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Tim
P.S. Unfortunately I'm stuck in OSX Tiger on an old B&W G3 while my G5 undergoes repairs.

Ok, well anyone know of a free OSX 3rd party utility that will enable me to format the SD card to FAT32?
Unfortunately I don't have a larger SD card.
I tried my 1GB SD card on a XP PC and I'm not given the option of FAT32. So it may be a limitation of the SD specification, which means you may just need to bite the bullet and buy a larger SD card.
Perhaps you can ask Sony if there's some setting on your device to use something other than a FAT32 SD card. (I mean, this is Sony after all, you'd think they'd prefer Memorystick. )

Tungsten T3 2gb sd card

I have a tungsten t3. I love it. But, I bought a Lexar 2gb sd card (not high capacity), and hoped to use it with my palm. I added media (music, pictures, video, etc) to it using a usb card reader (the card was pre-formatted FAT, not FAT32). when I put it into the palm, I can read the media, listen to music, read ebooks and everything, but I can't delete it, move it, or alter it. When I try to, it gives me an error message 'Move Failed: (ox0502)'. When I tried to format the card using the built in card info app, it doesn't work. I have a 1gb sd card, and it works perfectly.
So my question is this: Does the tungsten t3 support 2gb sd cards? And if it doesn't, would there be a way to split the card in order to have it register as two smaller cards? Any other solutions?
I would greatly appreciate any help.

The maximum card size for your device is 1GB SD or MMC.
Copy and Paste the following link in a browser for the card specs.
http://kb.palm.com/SRVS/CGI-BIN/WEBCGI.EXE?New,kb=PalmSupportKB,CASE=obj(34080),ts=Palm_External2001
Here is a quote from the page regarding higher capacity cards in your device;
Because of the file system used by these models, and those that came before them, larger cards may cause unexpected behavior or not work in these devices.

Need to download images from a 2GB SD card

Does anyone know of an SD card reader that will handle 2GB cards on Mac OS X 10.4.x ?
I have tried the SanDisk 6-in-1 PC Card Adapter (SDAD-67) which claimed it would work on Mac OS X but my Powerbook would not recognize the device. I did a little digging and found out that appparently this adapter only works for SD cards up to 512MB (although I can't find this limitation listed anywhere in the specs).
I called Delkin and they have a USB reader which will work with MAC OS X but it only works for up to 1GB SD cards.
Does anyone know of a product that will handle 2GB SD cards on MAC OS X 10.4.x ?
Thanks for you help !

No, you need the Camera Connection Kit. See http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC531ZM/A/apple-ipad-camera-connection-kit

1.3GB of 2GB media card is occupied by 'others' in memory use

I have a 2GB media card and 1.3 GB of which is occupied by this 'others' in memory use. As far as I remember it was around 600 MB when I bought the phone(Curve 9360).I am giving the details of memory use.
Music 40.5 MB
Ringtones 567.5 KB
Pictures 48.9 MB
Videos 209.1 MB
Documents 121.1 MB
Other 1.3 GB
Free 60.3 MB
Any help would be appreciated.

Go to the Media > Explore > Media Card and see what folders you have installed there other than the routine Pictures, Music, Video, etc... for instance I have some third apps which create new folders and store data there (CardStar, flycast, ShowMeTheImages, Themes, Fixmo Screenshots, Databases.
The "other" space is likely occupied by such as that.

Add one 2GB Ram card only (to make 6GB) in iMac 21.5 inch mid-2011

I have just upgraded my early 2008 iMac and now have a spare 2GB memory card. Can I add this to my wife's mid-2011 21.5 inch iMac? The top two slots are occupied by 2 x 2GB RAM. If so, how would I configure the 3 x 2GB in the four slots?
John

In addition to Mike's response, the iMac must have the memory added in matched pairs. That is, two side-by-side slots have to have the same size ram modules, The over-under slots do not have to match in size but you cannot leave a slot empty. You must have either two slots filled or four slots filled.
iMacs are even more picky than other Macs about their ram...you absolutely must use the correct speed ram in all four slots.
