Low Profile Graphics Card for HP Compaq PRO 6300 Small Form Factor

I need to purchase a PC suitable for a CAD workstation, I want a dedicated Graphics card and understand that the 6300's are limited due to the power supplies being only 240 watts. 
I want a good dedicated graphics card to cope with this PSU.  I have heard the AMD Radeon HD 6450 will work with this are there any better cards?
I don't want a graphcis that are for the purpose of two screens e.g. like the Nvidia NVS 300.
thanks

You're very welcome.
P/S specs on the 610 GT are 300W.
http://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-gt-610/specifications
P/S specs on the 430 GT are 300W.
http://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-gt-430/specifications
So, according to nVidia, a 240W P/S may be under the limit, but other folks are running them with the lower 220W P/S.
Given that info, I would say probably the same would hold true for the 610 as well.
Actually, I think the 610GT would be a better choice... look at the difference in the maximum power draw of the 2 GPU's.
The 610 draws a max of 29W and the 430 draws a max of 49W.

    The Radeon HD 6450 has pixel shader version 5.0.
    I do not know what version vertex shader it has, but I would have to assume it is better than what your onboard graphics has.

  • Is a dedicated graphics card better than an integrated graphics card for running Logic Pro?

    I am trying to figure out if a dedicated graphics card is better than an integrated graphics card for using Logic Pro. I have heard opinions supporting both. From what I have been told a Mac mini with an integrated graphics card would work just fine. I have also heard that a modest dedicated graphics card could also benefit Logic Pro. Honestly, I have heard more people saying that the integrated graphics card on the Mac mini would do the job. But still, I have heard a couple people (even 2 senior Mac experts) state that a dedicated graphics card (iMac) is the way to go. Maybe a Mac mini with integrated graphics card will do the job, but an iMac would do the job better, I don't know, if anyone could help me I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you.

    One thing is Logic Pro and another thing is Final Cut Pro. Logic Pro is a music production app, so it doesn't use the GPU heavily and you can use it with an integrated GPU without any problem. However, video editing apps like Final Cut Pro or iMovie will note the difference

  • Hp pro 3130 small form factor freezing

    Hey guys, I recently rolled out a HP Pro 3130 Small Form Factor PC to a client a month ago and they have been experiencing constant freezing. Basically the whole PC locks up and nothing can be done to revive it aside from a complete Power Cycle. As an IT Professional, I have done significant investigation and troubleshooting and have not been able to come to any conclusion. It appears to be completely random with no patterns (eg particular application or time) and happens several times a day. I have done the following: - checked event viewer for errors or warnings (none) - checked to see if a dump file is created (none) - run a CPU Stress test and monitoring the temperatures (max 70C) - run a RAM test (memtest) with no errors reported - run a HDD test (spinrite) with no errors reported - run a windows system file check (sfc) with 100% valid file integrity - downloaded and installed latest drivers - installed latest windows updates I feel I have exhausted all options short of either a complete OS reload (i would prefer not to do) or a warranty return. Any ideas?

    Hello RTerrell,
    If your computer is locking up and there are bands of lines going down the screen then something is failing hardware wise
    1. Memory
    2. Video Card
    3. Power Supply
    There could also be bulging capacitors on the boards.
    The best thing is to start ruling out hardware components by swapping in new ones. The power supply being the first easy one. Then try with one stick of RAM at a time, try replacing the RAM with other RAM. Finally replace the video card. If it's still failing after that then it may be the motherboard, but I'm hesitant to think that.

  • Graphics card for HP Compaq dc7800

    I am looking to buy a graphics card for my HP Compaq dc7800 Small Form Factor PC, I would like to have cheap cards. What would you recommend.

    Hi:
    You are rather limited with the 240W power supply.
    I would get a used low profile ATI Radeon 2400 HD 256 MB PCIe card on eBay.
    This Dell card I posted should work just fine.
    http://www.ebay.com/itm/Dell-ATI-Radeon-HD-2400PRO-320-5891-/280798788349?pt=PCC_Video_TV_Cards&hash...
    If you want a new low profile card with HDMI out you can check the link below for the Radeon HD 6450. But make sure the card you get comes with the low profile bracket, and read the reviews on some of these cards where they say the VGA pins hamper closing the case.
    http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=100006662&IsNodeId=1&Description=HD%2064...
    If you get a card with HDMI out, it will disable your onboard video, so restart the PC after you load the drivers for the card, go into the BIOS and in the device configuration menu, change the onboard audio setting from disabled to enabled. Save the setting there and again when you exit. Then you will get your onboard audio back and also have HDMI audio if you need it.

  • Which New Graphic Card For 2008 Mac Pro?

    I'm going to buy Final Cut X, so I'll need a new graphic card for my 2008 MacPro. My current card is an ATI Radeon HD 2600.
    I asked AppleCare and they sent me a link to a lot of compatible cards (copied below).
    But it turns out that most of these cards need Windows - at least according to specs - and the rest don't have the (2) DVI-D connections I need - so which card should I buy?
    The card has to work with my 2 Acer P243W 24" screens at 1920 x 1200 @ 60 Hz.
    Here's Apple's list:
    •    NVIDIA
    o    GeForce 320M
    o    GeForce GT 330M
    o    GeForce 9400M
    o    GeForce 9600M GT
    o    GeForce 8600M GT  Note: OpenCL compatible, but does not meet system requirements for Final Cut Pro X, Motion 5 and Compressor.
    o    GeForce GT 120
    o    GeForce GT 130
    o    GeForce GTX 285
    o    GeForce 8800 GT
    o    GeForce 8800 GS
    o    Quadro FX 4800
    o    Quadro FX5600
    •    ATI
    o    Radeon HD 4670
    o    Radeon HD 4850
    o    Radeon HD 4870
    o    Radeon HD 5670
    o    Radeon HD 5750
    o    Radeon HD 5770

    Once you look at what is sold, limits the list. None of those listed require Windows though. What specs? I don't see any specs. And of course nothing listed are Windows, that would be strange. Why you pasted notebook and iMac graphic adapters... unless Apple is selling FCPX for Windows.
    Forget the GT120 though some use it with FCPX and are okay with it, save a little though I think 5770 has more processing, bandwidth and of course 1GB DDR5.
    support for 6870 PC card is looking like a possible option now, too.
    It is more mainly just 5770 vs 5870. Or Quadro 4000.
    Amazon has PNY Mac Pro edition $790 vs Apple's $1195 for same card
    PNY Quadro 4000 2 GB DDR5 Mac Pro

    I include the above for same reason why when the 4870 came out, PC card was 1/2 price and $450 for 5870? really? when XFX and Saffire are under $199.

  • Best graphics card for the MAC Pro 4,1

    I am using the 4870 card, but, is there a better graphics card for doing photography with Adobe CS5 Extended and Lightroom 3?
    Thank you.

    While recently discontinued, you can probably get your hands on an nVidia GTX 285 fairly easily. It's not only faster than your Radeon HD4870, it has double the video memory, and more importantly it's on the shortlist of cards that are support hardware acceleration of the Mercury Playback Engine in Adobe CS5. That's a HUGE feature, if you use Premiere or After Effects, it's probably worth the price of admission right there. I've got one in my machine, works wonders. Aside from a zippy system, lots of basic stuff that used to have to be rendered in order to preview no longer require it.
    The nVidia Quadro FX 4800 is also a bigger/faster card, and provides even more powerful support for the Mercury Playback Engine in CS5, but it's also vastly more expensive. As I type this the price is $1799 at Apple, and $1399 most everywhere else (Apple store managers, if you're seeing this you might want to check for a price drop).
    That's the current max, but it's possible that new graphics cards are right around the corner. In the spring nVidia introduced their next generation of GPU, there are a range of new GTX 4xx series cards on the mainstream line, and just last week new Quadro cards were launched for the high end. Adobe does not support either of them for CS5's Mercury Playback Engine hardware acceleration at this moment, but Adobe employees have said that it's coming in an update soon.
    It's also likely that the ATI Radeon HD 5770 & Radeon HD 5870 will be released for the Mac. My understanding is that the 5770 performance is on par with your HD 4870, and the 5870 will blow it away. Both the new ATI cards also boast two mini displayport plugs as well as a DVI out. Neither card is likely going to get support for hardware acceleration in CS5 anytime soon (not really Adobe's fault, ATI are still in their infancy on the high performance/OpenCL front compared to nVidia).
    My advice, if you need something now, chase down a GTX 285 and you won't be disappointed (especially in CS5). Otherwise, you may want to wait it out and jump on the next generation if/when it becomes available.
    Hope that helps!

  • What graphic card for a 845 pro

    hi
    can anyone help me please. i have bought a 845 pro mainboard and i was wondering what would be the best graphics card to fit .
    thanks

    If you are asking purely for a new graphics card and no intention to upgrade your mobo or any hardwares in any ways, then the Ti-4200TD 128MB 4x would be the best buy in terms of price vs performance and o/c.
    But if you are think about getting the VGA card first, thereafter moving it to a newer system later in date, then I'll say that the FX5600TD 128MB or R9600 will be a good buy then, as both can support DX9 features and 8x capabilities for the future gaming like HL2.
    Though the Ti-4200 will also be able to handle DX9 games but due to the being that it's a DX8 card, there'll be no bells and jingles extras for DX9 features in the DX9 capable games.

  • How to properly configure a graphics card for Adobe Premiere Pro, SpeedGrade, and After Effects?

    Alright, so I have the following system configuration:
    2 NVIDIA Geforce GTX 970s
    5960X CPU
    MSI X99 Gaming 7 Motherboard
    32 GB DDR4 RAM
    256 GB and 1TB Samsung 850 Pro SSDs
    Basically, although I have the whole system built together, I'm unsure how to check and know whether or not Adobe Premiere Pro is actually using the graphics card or not.  I know that it has to be using some of it, otherwise it wouldn't launch properly (as I discovered from a recent experience.)  However, I don't know if there are, perhaps, certain settings within the NVIDIA control panel that should be configured so that Premiere Pro can use the card to its full potential.  Here is an example of what I'm talking about:
    In other words, these are (I'm pretty sure) all of the default settings that the control panel applies to Premiere Pro.  However, I'm not sure if there are any settings in here that I need to change or not.  So what I'm looking for in a response to this question:
    What settings, if any, should I change for Premiere Pro (as well as other adobe applications that can utilize all the strength of the GTX 970)?
    How can I check the GPU activity to know that it's being used during a render?  (For example, I can check the CPU utilization with the Task Manager while I render to see that it's being utilized to 100%).
    If, perhaps, something else goes wrong and even with the right settings, let's say the card still isn't being fully utilized, what other settings might I have to change to make sure that the GTX 970 is being fully used by Adobe Premiere Pro/After Effects/SpeedGrade CC 2014?

    If you want a benchmark to measure the performance of Premiere Pro's utilization of  your: disk system, GPU and CPU use our Premiere Pro BenchMark (PPBM)
    When you finish running the test and then run the script, you will get this report
    This happens to be the result of my laptop (with SSD drives and a GTX 765M GPU)
    The disk performance is self explanatory.
    Number 2 is a seven layer very complex timeline with heavy CPU and GPU assistance, without GPU hardware acceleration (CPU only) it would take greater than 1350 seconds.
    Three above is a measure of a exaggerated timeline using many, many GPU MPE accelerated effects and features that will use a GPU at 99% load (54 seconds above) and a CPU only export of the same timeline (802 seconds).
    If you want to compare your results to others you have to register on the PPBM7 site to see the results.
    EDIT! I corrected the number in 2 above originally I said 900 seconds but really it was greater than 1350 seconds

  • Graphics Card for my Mac Pro...

    I use CS3 for graphic and web design. I currently use a DC2.3 PPC and sometimes in InDesign the graphics really labour the card/processor to preview all the effects.
    Is this handled by the graphics card or is it processor intensive?
    Should I get the stock ATI 2600 with my new Mac Pro or the NVIDIA 8800? Will the 8800 be faster or do you only see a benefit with 3D rendering?

    I can tell you this about the ATI cards because I have had two now. I'm now using the ATI X1900 with 512ram and under Tiger it worked well, under Leopard it has been aa nightmare. Random graphic splotches, overheating (I must blow out any dust on a near weekly basis), I must use fan controlling software, and the screen does not come up without at least one line streak if not several. I had Apple replace the card but it seems to be a prevailing problem with many who use the ATI card. I'm about to CTO a new MacPro 3.2GHz machine and will probably go with the NVIDIA 8800 hoping to be relieved of the ATI graphics problems. Just a head's up to those of you who are toying with the idea of opting for the ATI graphics card.

  • Suggest a better graphics card for my mac pro mid 2010

    I use my Mid 2010 Mac Pro (not macbook pro) to do very heavy visual / special effects editing for film using the programs Blender, After Effects, Premier Pro and Element 3D.  I need a graphics card with at least 3GB of VRAM but I am having a hard time finding one that isn't outrageously priced.  I would really appreciate any suggestions for cards that aren't overclocked that would have the above VRAM or greater that would work with my particular Mac Pro.  Thanks so much for any help.
