Graphic Card don't know if my graphics are good.

I recently bought a Sony Vaio with Intel® Centrino® Processor Technology and it has Mobile Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 4500MHD with Intel® Clear Video Technology. Most of the games that I want to buy say that the minimum system requirements need to have Nvidia GeForce. Could I still play those certain games that require Nvidia with the graphics my laptop has? How good are my graphics?

Those graphics are in somewhat of a competition with the Radeon HD 2400 series of cards. It will run most games just fine, however other games that require a much beefier version of a video card to play, the Intel will run it like a slug. But I seen people play games like Guitar Hero 3 on it just fine.

    Could I upgrade the Graphic Card to 1GB? my current Graphic is 256.

    You refer to an article about updating software. But the graphics card is hardware.
    You can upgrade the graphics card on MacPros but on other Macs the graphics card is part of the processor, so it would be very costly. Also, not exactly a do-it-yourself job.

    and talk to them about your registration, but I am unsure whether they can help you with anything pre CC (There was a Customer Care option with chat which seems to have stopped working).
    If you are still out of luck, please report back, and I will try to ask someone to find the right someone to help you.

    I backed up my iPad to the computer, I don't know where my pictures are stored

    Your camera roll photos - the pictures that you take with the iPad camera or saved from websites are stored in the iPad backup. You will not see them anywhere on your computer unless you import them to the PC from the iPad.
    You cannot see what is stored in the iPad backup on your PC. It doesn't work that way. This explains iTunes backups - what is backed up and where the backup file is stored on the computer. It may be a little different in Windows 8. now.

  • Help: Graphic card don't work properly

    Hi,
    I built a new pc with
    MB: MSI H87-G43
    CPU: Intel Core i5-4670
    GPU: MSI N660 TF 2GD5/OC      with  S/N: 602-V287-28SB1307046452
    Sys: Windows 7 64b Ultimate
    PSU: Corsair RM650 (650W, gold certified)
    My problem is that after initial built I was unable to run pc with N660 in, it would not load at all. After removing it, pc boots and I can work on integrated graphic card. I took the card to my friend where it worked without issue so what we did was to flash it with BIOS update from MSI - N660 TF 2GD5/OC / BIOS. After that card started to show artefacts and ended with blue screen on my friends PC. I took the card, installed it in my pc and it booted, however with artefacts, buti t worked. After installing nvidia drivers I have blue screen as well. Reverted this by going back with integrated graphic and removing drivers.
    MOBO updated to BIOS 2.5 via Live Update 5
    I also tried my old graphic card which is ASUS GTX295 and it doesn't boot as well (at all).
    Any idea? I already ran out of options now...
    Update: I used flash for this model, but as I read it needs specific S/N, might be that issue?

    This vbios is not for your card. It's NV287MS.2C versions (legacy) or NV287MH.2C (gop) versions.
    Attached are NV287MH.2C0 (gop) and NV287MS.2C2 (legacy). Use what you want of these two and retry.

  • How do i make amd radeon my primary graphic card instead of the intel hd graphics ?

    i am new to using macs and was wonding how to make the pci-e amd radeon my primary graphic card as it is better than the onboard card that i am currently using.
    the amd card is already inside the laptop but i dont know how to make it my primary graphics card

    System Preferences > Energy Saver
    checkbox Automatic graphics switching.
    With this box unchecked it will always use your dedicated graphics card. With it checked it will only turn on when needed. This will save a lot of battery life, as it will only use it when needed. For example while playing a video game and not while watching a movie.

  • It's 1pm, and apparently I don't know where my children are.

    I'm getting lost trying to figure this parent/child stuff out, mostly in regard to trying to use "removeChild".
    Here's the nutshell of what I'm doing:
    In my public class I'm declaring:
    var skillPointDisplay:mcSkillPointWindow = new mcSkillPointWindow;
    In a function I'm using:
    addChild(skillPointDisplay);
    In another function I'm trying:
    removeChild(skillPointDisplay);
    Which tosses me this:
    The supplied DisplayObject must be a child of the caller.
    I'm stumped trying to figure this out.  If anyone can explain this to me or even just point me towards some good reading material that covers this I'd be very grateful!  I've done a bunch of Googling and tried different variations of this. stage. parent. stuff and just come away more lost. I'm afraid social services might get called in as I'm about to start beating this child.

    are those two functions (the one with addChild and the one with removeChild), in the same class?
    Yes, they are. Same class, different functions.
    and you can always use:
    skillPointDisplay.parent.removeChild(skillPointDisplay);   // but if you don't know what you're doing, that may cause other problems.
    That was actually something I had tried in my googling attempts. When I try that I get this error:
    TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

  • Switching graphic cards don't work

    , Hi and thanks again for posting back.  Here is a link to your systems supported drivers. HP Pavilion g6-2170ec Notebook PC - Software and Drivers Here is a link on How to enable/disable automatic driver installation for Windows 8 Please let me know how thing go. Thanks again.  

    , Hello and thanks for posting on the HP support forums.  What you will need to do is go back and remove all your drivers.  You will need to boot into safe mode for this.  Once a driver is uninstalled then reboot back into safe mode and remove the next.  Once all the drivers are removed you will then have to boot into windows normally.  When your system is up go and start installing the drivers starting with the chipset first before any other driver. Remember to reboot between driver installs and once the chipset is installed you can install the drivers in any order you want. Please let me know how thins goes for you. Thanks again for posting and have a great day.

  • Zondervan NIV Study Bible installs to device--want it to card, don't know how-Tungsten E2

    I just had the Zondervan NIV Study Bible software transferred to me from a previous user who stated it isn't installed on any device.  They gave me all the package and everything and I proceeded to install it last night.  So this should be a legal transfer of the software under the usual EULA.  But it just had a brief getting started guide included.  I'm guessing that there might have been an actual user manual available for download from the website which isn't up any more--just a blank page comes up.
    This has software as well as several versions of the Bible including the NIV Study Bible itself which is in 4 modules that are pretty large 2-4m.  It mentioned that the Bible versions could be installed on the expansion card but didn't give any instructions how to do that.
    When I started I only had about 11 MB free on my TE2. I made the mistake I guess of checking just about everything to be installed.  And then there was a step which I noticed after I had clicked next (or that's when it registered in my tired brain) that I was to do the hot sync I think it was before clicking next.
    Anyway, it says the software requires 500 k free memory the other stuff can be loaded to a storage card or device RAM and rquire 21MB of free memory (this is on the package not the brief instructions).
    It gave me fatal errors, something about memory, probably because it was trying to install more than there was free memory in device RAM.  So I had to do a soft reset several times. 
    I did figure out how to transfer the earlier installed Bible versions to the card and then deleted them from the device.  Further hot syncs installed more stuff and then crashed again.
    The 4 modules of the NIV Study Bible now show up in the window where they can be delted but they do not show up in the window to copy them to the card.  I just checked again.
    Also the device itself is only showing 168k of 29.7 M and I'm afraid that this isn't enough to do all that I need to do with some other previously installed large business applications which are very interactive, allowing me to take a product application on the palm, hot sync it and then update from our co website to upload and download data.
    So any suggestions on how to get the large applications off the device and onto the card?  Also I can't find where the stuff installed to my computer and I don't see this listed under hot sync options.
    I mean maybe there is a way I could wipe it all off (but I'm a bit afraid that it might not reinstall since it does have an install key) and start over just doing part at a time, maybe just doing the NIV study Bible by itself first which is the biggest and moving it but the 4 modules are 3090,2676,2484,2918k respectively.
    So any suggestions would be appreciated.  I also checked Zondervan website and they don't show any Palm applications so apparently this software isn't supported any more. I think I saw a date of 2004.  But the previous user said she had used it on a TE.

    Thank you.
    I also had tried other means of getting answers and got an even more specific answer on just how to do this.  Below is the link to the actual knowledgebase article giving specific instructions since there are some files that need to be on the Palm and some on the card, etc.
    http://support.laridian.com/index.php?_m=knowledgebase&_a=viewarticle&kbarticleid=380&ratingconfirm=...
    I emailed Zondervan to see if they might be able to direct me to a downloadable manual.  The referred me to laridan.com who now supports their software.
    I followed the instructions, taking into account some things that were already where they needed to be, hot synced it and it seems to be working fine with 7.8 M free space on my Palm which I trust is enough for my other very large applications.
    Thanks for your help!
