How do i pick the best card

I'm using an hp Pavillion a6720y, with 300w/19A output on the power supply, and an NVIDIA GeForce 9100 card (the one that came built in) and my games run a little choppy even on the lowest settings, and I'm getting fed up with it.
How do I pick the best graphics card my system can handle?

The EVGA NVIDIA 240 GT 1GB DDR5 is th best card that you can use without replacing the 300 watt power supply.
Review the ATI and NVIDIA performance specifications. Look at the memory bandwidth specifications and the DirectX level support.

You should open up your PC and measure the physical dimensions of your power supply.  Here is a list of things to consider:
Specifications
Total wattage - important
12+ volt amperage rating - important
Modular - not mandatory but I like the flexibility
Warranty
i7 and SLI ready
Efficiency rating
Cost
Physical size -- standard ATX PSU is 5.5" by 5.9" by 3.4" give or take a few tenths
www.newegg.com has lots of PSUs choices.  Corsair, OCZ, Rosewill, Thermaltake.....
HP DV9700, t9300, Nvidia 8600, 4GB, Crucial C300 128GB SSD
HP Photosmart Premium C309G, HP Photosmart 6520
HP Touchpad, HP Chromebook 11
Custom i7-4770k,Z-87, 8GB, Vertex 3 SSD, Samsung EVO SSD, Corsair HX650,GTX 760
Custom i7-4790k,Z-97, 16GB, Vertex 3 SSD, Plextor M.2 SSD, Samsung EVO SSD, Corsair HX650, GTX 660TI
Windows 7/8 UEFI/Legacy mode, MBR/GPT

  • What is the best card to implement a protolo CAN

    Hello
    I am an insider in Labview.
    I need implement a protocol by CAN.
    The reading will be done through a board controlled by Labview.
    The communications are basic, to test an electronic board
    What is the best card to implement a protolo CAN?

    Hi,
    There are a lot of CAN cards that you can use with your application. I advise you to have a look at www.ni.com/can .
    What kind of cards do you want to use ? PCI cards ? PXI cards ?  What is the speed you want to reach ? How many ports do you want ?
    As you can see there are a lot of parameters that depend on your application and what you want to do. 
    Best regards,

  • I redeemed a gift card, the amount shows up in the top right corner but when I try to purchase music it goes to the account that I have loaded. How do I use the gift card?

    I redeemed a gift card, the amount shows up in the top right corner of my account but when I try to purchase music it goes to the account that I have loaded previously. How do I use the gift card?

    If the amount of the purchase is close to $21.07, then you need to take into account taxes may be added.
    If you go beyond the credit from a gift card the balance will be billed to your credit card account.

  • How to find out the best settings for BDT

    Hi there.
    I am trying to predict a movie rating. I downloaded datasets from IMDb, prepared them. A tried all of the regression algorithms, but the best result is giving Boosted Decision Tree. Now I am dealing with the best settings in this algorithm.
    With default, running time was 69 seconds and the mean absolute error was 0.4844, which is quite much I think. So I tried to improve it by changing parameters of the BDT module. I tried to set Leaves per tree to 150 and than experimentaly find
    remaining parameters. I've come to Samples per leaf=12, Learning rate=0.04 and
    Number of trees=700. Running time was 78 seconds and mean absolute error was 0.4596.
    Input of the algorithm is joined matrix with 14 columns (11 features) and 67672 rows splitted into 70:30 (training:testing).
    Is there any way how to find out the best setting of Boosted Decision Tree?

    Yordan's suggestion is correct, though the documentation is a bit outdated.
    You can use the single parameter + sweeper mode or define your own custom ranges in the BDT module with the Parameter Range setting

  • How can I get the best out of my battery life?

    There are a variety of things you can do to extend your device battery life, and use your phone for longer periods of time to see you through the day.
    Set your screen to timeout after a period of inactivity. This way your phone is not sitting idle with the screen backlight consuming extra energy. The recommended screen timeout is 30 seconds, but most phones will allow from 15 seconds to 10 minutes.
    Turn off location services (GPS), Wi-Fi and Bluetooth when not using these functions. When they're on, your phone constantly searches for your current location and open networks, which has a big impact on battery life.
    Turn down the screen brightness. For example, on an iPhone 4 the lowest brightness setting gives roughly 6.5 hours of continuous use, whereas the highest setting gives roughly 3.5 hours. You can always adjust the brightness when you're outside so you can still see your screen clearly. Some devices have an auto-brightness setting, where the phone adjusts the screen brightness depending on the light around it.
    Close your applications. On smartphones, returning to the ‘home' screen only minimises your apps – they keep running in the background. Closing your apps fully will save power; for example, on Samsung Galaxy devices hold down the home button for two seconds to see a list of all open apps. You can then swipe these to the left of the screen to exit them completely. On an Apple product, double press the home button to bring up all active applications and exit from there.

    Re: How can I get the best out of my battery life?
    Hi,
    When I make phone calls people on the other end have difficulty hearing me. They describe as they can hardly hear me as if I was speaking through the pillow etc). I am not touching any buttons and obviously it is not mute. This was happening couple of time in June, then every now and then. Recently it happened a few time in 2 weeks. I was trying to check if it was a reception issue but the place I spoke from is my office I make 70% of phone calls from. Can you book time for me in repair shop and address the issue.
    Thank you.

    How do I pass the credit card section without having a issue number

    I am not sure how you can remove your payment details on your iPhone but you can remove this in iTunes on your computer.
    Also, you should have set iTunes to ask for a your password before any download - no password = no download and you will not go bankrupt!
