Vid card help

I dont have alot of money and am looking to upgrade my vid card,
This what i am looking at. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127481R
This is what i have. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130082
Will the MSI Open box vid card run circles around the Gts 8800 320. Or any suggestions would be great. I have 100 us Dollar budget. Thanks
I Play medal of Honor 2010 everyday.

Don't know about running circles  but I do suggest you check some comparisons here http://www.anandtech.com/bench/Product/178?vs=173
The site allows you to select 2 cards to compare. The list is not that comprehensive, but check it out and see how much performance difference there is between the cards.

  • Dual Displays, and Dual Vid Card Help Please :-( 30'' Cinemas

    Hello all, I just recieved my 30'' Cinema Displays from the Fedex man this morning and am having a bit of trouble getting everything up and running.
    My System is:
    Windows XP Home
    AMD Fx-57
    2GB Corsair XMS DDR 400 Ramm
    Asus Asi-8 Premium Board
    Dual Evga 7800 GTX 256mb PCIe x16 Cards
    Currently at my disposal to make this work I have:
    2x 30'' Cinema Displays
    2x Evga Nvidia 7800 GTX 256mb PCIe x16 Cards
    I say this because no matter what I do I cannot get both moniters to function properly.
    At first I had had both cards in my desktop running SLI, and I attempted to plug in the monitors, neither would turn on when I booted up the pc, I tried every array I could possibly think of to even get some activity out of both, or even a SOLO monitor with the cards on SLI Mode.
    Eventually I just grabbed one of the cards out, so that I was running on a single 7800 GTX card.
    WHAM both monitors booted up normally heres the problem Im now faced with, in this mode I can set one monitors resolution (whichever monitor I have set as primary) to the normal maximum allowed by the 30'' Cinema.
    The problem comes when faceing the other monitor which is stuck at 1280 x800, giving a very wierd look and panning feel.
    Is there any way at all to make theese work?
    I dont care If i have to go down to 1 card, or even go buy a new card
    I just want both monitors to be running at high res.
    Thanks a bundle,
    Nick

    You have to look at the specs for your video cards, but it looks like your video card only supports one dual-link DVI and the other connection is single-link DVI. You need a card with dual dual-link DVI outputs. I believe the high end ATI X1800 and X1900 video cards support this.
    I'm not familiar with SLI to help there.

  • Help! Need a quick answer about motherboard + vid card

    Hi everyone,
    Okay I am pretty scared right now. I got a new vid card, the MSI n9008gt. I also got a 6pin PCI connector for my power supply to power the card. I have a 450watt power supply. And my motherboard is a GeForce7050M.
    I put my card in, I attached the power supply to the card, and then plugged it in and pushed the power button.
    I hear my motherboard fan, my HD, and the vid card fan. But no display, and nothing else... I think to myself, hmmm. So I unplug my card and take it out and use the intergrated card, and the fan starts up and my HD starts up, but still nothing happens. The motherboard doesn't even beep... Did I fry my motherboard....?  :( This is what I fear the most.
    (and no I'm not on that PC right now this is an older one.)

    But I'm figuring that I don't even hear the bios beeps, so the motherboard is just fried.

  • Dual ADC displays and a vid card w/ no ADC ?

    Hi.
    I've got a PowerMac G4 with an ATI Radeon 9800 Pro vid. card. I bought it when I purchased my 17" Apple display not knowing that the Apple display had its own connector that required me to but a $99 adaptor that also requires a power cord!
    Anyway, my old CRT (that acted as my 2nd display on the G4) finally died. I purchased a nice 15" Apple display, but apparently forgot to consider the ADC connection.
    I need a cheap, fast solution.
    I've got a G4 with the 9800 Radeon which has a DVI and VGA connection.
    By the way, does having 128MB DDR of video ram help with rendering time??
    Ok, back to the original question.
    I also have the original video card that came with the PowerMac G4 1.2mhz Quicksilver. I believe it's an 9000 Radeon. It's got an ADC and VGA connection.
    How can I setup a dual display on the G4 with the two Apple displays? Both are ADC and neither card has (2) ADC connections.
    I've got two ADC to DVI convertors and I have the VGA to DVI convertor that came with my 17" apple display, but the DVI end doesnt match the DVI end on the 2nd ADC to DVI convertor.
    Any suggestions? Is there a dual ADC video card?

    Hi
    As far as I'm aware, the Radeon 9000 that came as the stock graphics card in certain PowerMacs had an ADC connector and a DVI connector. It also came with a DVI to VGA adapter. If this is the case you should be able to attach one monitor directly to the ADC connector and the other to the DVI connector using the $99 DVI to ADC adapter. You'd be losing the benefit of the Radeon 9800 though.
    Unfortunately there aren't any graphics cards with dual ADC connectors, as the card (and AGP slot) would have to provide enough juice to power two monitors. The options seem to be:
    1. One AGP card with an ADC connector and DVI connector, which would require one DVI to ADC adapter, such as the Radeon 9000.
    2. One AGP card with two DVI connectors, which would require two DVI to ADC adapters, such as the Radeon 9600 retail version. Mines worked perfectly, although there do seem to be problems with it in certain Quicksilvers and Digital Audio G4s.
    3. One AGP card with a DVI connector, which would require a DVI to ADC adapter, such as your existing Radeon 9800 and one PCI card with a DVI connector, which would also require a DVI to ADC adapter, such as the Radeon 9200. An AGP card with an ADC connector would also work but seems pointless given you've already got the 9800 and adapter.
    Unfortunately I'm not sure there is a really cheap solution. As already mentioned, there are VGA to DVI converter boxes on the market, but they're incredibly expensive and you'd be converting from digital to analogue and back to digital, with some loss of quality.

  • ATI vid.card trouble shoot guide

    True,
    There seem to be some stabilty issues with ATI, all of which can be overcome.
    First is the VPU recover option. That option makes it less stable and does nothing beneficial, best turn it off.
    Also faste write (bios option), it doesn't enhance performance, only decreases stabalitity.
    If it is still unstable, set AGP to 4x. This makes it slighly (less then 1pct. ) slower, but might make it more stable.
    Other drivers occasionly might help. For older cards, older drivers are best suitable. E.g. a R9700 runs best on Cat 4.5. Do make sure the driver you use supports the DirectX version that you need !
    Last resort is upping the AGP voltage (no more then 0,1v !). If it is still instable, RMA it !
    Despite the issues, I still think ATI makes very good vid.cards. My next card wil probably be an ATI again 

    And I thougt you were my friend     
    Look here for the performance difference fast write and AGP4x make:
    http://www.pctuning.cz/Default.aspx?CatID=75&LayId=2&ArtId=19189&ChapID=4944
    These tests have been done with a 9700PRO the difference will probably be more significant with a faster card.
    Furthermore, take into account that a 9600 draws from the 5v line, the 9700, 9800 and X800 draw from the 12v line as well.

  • Vid card issues I think??

    Good day, I'm having some major issues with my card "I think"
    When playing MOH Pacific Assault, Battlefield Vietnam, and Doom3 my sys locks up and/or I get major video corruption. I have tried updating all of the drivers forward and backward and no luck  . One error that I get says that the Vid card got stuck in a loop. I have gone to the Nvida and EA site and no help. The only thing that I found was that their is a known issue with MOB running with Nforce 3 chips and to uninstall the GART driver "No idea how???" Here is the post on that, some of it doesn't apply (ATI, Punk Buster,
    "This combination of hardware has been reported to freeze gameplay, and is due to a combination of these hardware elements. Resolving this issue has become a stalemate between ATI, Nvidia and Evenbalance. Here is some information which may help you address this issue:
    Problem does not occur on non-Punkbuster servers.
    This problem seems specific to WinXP.
    Removal of the Nvidia GART Driver clears this problem up.
    Reverting to ATI's 3.9 seems to clear this up for some.
    Reducing the AGP aperture size reduces the amount of delay.
    Decreasing the PB scan frequency with pb_sleep decreases the frequency of the freezes.
    Changing from an ATI to Nvidia card seems to have eliminated problems for many users."
    Any idaes???? Thanks..

    Hi,
    I wouldn't remove the GART driver.  I have a NF3/6800 Ultra OC setup and I disabled fastwrites in my system bios to resolve loops and freezes.  The combo works wonders now!
    Good Luck,
    You want to try the easiest solutions first and turning off fast writes would be a good place to start as suggested. If it is not implemented properly it can cause instability.
    There are also a few other settings that should be in there you can try messing with such as AGP Aperture, 4X or 8X...etc.
    I also would use 3DMark 2001 as a stability test. It pretty much runs with every video card and drivers out there. Using a game might not be a good idea because a lot of games have problems with certain drivers or certain cards. At least if it passed 3DMark you would have some idea its not the drivers, card or even gart.
    If it doesn't pass 3DMark then I would start looking at your motherboard drivers (GART). The chance of 3DMark not working with any version of Nvidia drivers is very slim unless they are corrupted.
    To uninstall the GART you would go into device manager and right click it and uninstall. Windows will restart and try to install drivers on it's own. You can cancel it by clicking on the icon in the system tray if your quick enough. (WinXP)
    Another way to do it, is just updating the drivers by again going into device manager, right clicking and this time picking update drivers.
    You should have the drivers you want to use on the computer somewhere like maybe the desktop.
    Another thing you can try is reinstaling DirectX, that is one of those easy things that doesn't hurt anything to try. Also make sure your video card is not overheating in the case. Open the case and have a house fan blowing on it while you try 3DMark or playing a game.
    One last thing when you look in device manager the GART might not be listed as GART, at least on my NF7-S it is not listed that way. The GART would be anything related to AGP under "System Devices"

  • Conflict with Battlefield 1942 and mobo/vid card, not sure which.

    Well, not I got a problem, regretably. I just bough BF 1942 and now when I play it, after about 10 mins of gaming, the game will just quit back to Windows. Not sure if this is the vid card or my mobo causing this problem.
    Anyone got any helpful ideas?

    and if you have already done that then look at your heat is your cpu getting too hot i know this used to happen too me often the game does a no. on your cpu it is pretty intense alos check you internet connection sometimes wrong settings on the nic will cause it
    go too http://www.battlefield1942.com and click on support and read the faqs could also be your drivers

  • Vid Card Recommendations

    I'm ready to purchase a vid card.  
    Thanks for your help.

    TDs/ TDRs/ VTDs/ VTDRs/ are the model of the card representing different make that they are for... TDs are the standard version without Video Decoder.
    Since you said that framerates isn't a concern, the FX5200 Ultra for $115 USD isn't a bad choice, but like what I said, you can save around $20 USD for the normal non-Ultras, but I'm not indicating that the ultra isn't a good choice.
    Anyway, the $$$ comes out from your pocket and I'm just giving a feedback on price vs performance for the cards.
    P.S> The Ultras are still capable of coping games with normal fps, if you would want to start gaming in the future, the Ultra will be good. But I did not recommend it as you said that you aren't concern about fps...

  • Something is o/c my vid card

    ive read some posts that mentioned this but i have never had it happen in my own system.  but now for some random reason i checked my clock freq and it now shows
    367/1.05
    i had just been leaving it at stock 350/1000
    WHAT IS O/CING MY VID CARD???
    im running 61.77

    Yes these were my posts.I discovered my Radeon 9800 Pro was being o/ced and producing artifacts when using i think bios 1.2 beta.The same happened with 1.3 beta and switching the option NV/ATI acceleration to disabled didn't help.Now i'm using 1.48B and the problem seems to have gone away.
    Try flashing to this bios and see if the problems go away.Then post your results.

  • SATA & new vid card. Do I need a new PS?

    The question(s).
    Does a SATA drive need more power? I have an Athlon XP 1500 on a KM4M-V board w/512 ram. the PS is a 300W Silent X bought from Newegg 6 months back.
    Does a dual vid card need more power?
    The background.
    I have been trying to fix a serious to random blue screen prob. It all started at some point while I was doing these upgrades.
    1st - Install new 80G Seagate SATA drive. Works fine with the 64 mg.NVidia card that I have had for a year or so.
    2nd - My son orders two Asus V9400X (Gforce4 MX4000) dual monitor vid cards (128 mg.). I take one. Everything seems fine with the Viewsonic 17" crt monitor.
    3rd - New Neovo 19" LCD - last part.
    The BSOD was really bad last week (I formatted & re-loaded the OS five times). Now it is just random. I pulled/re-seated cards, re-pluged plugs - helped but still have occasional blue screen.
    Thanks for any help or ideas.

    Not really, but an additional device always requires more power, especially during startup. Adding more devices always adds an accumulative power requirement.
    Dual RAMDAC's do require a slight bit more power when operating in dual monitor mode, but nothing to speak of really.
    Without the data the BSOD is giving, your power supply's make/model/specs (See  Suggestions on posting and getting better answers at the top of this page for clarification on info.) it's all going to be guessing from here. My inclination is you are experiencing several problems, perhaps the power supply is now being pushed to it's limitations (see Is your problem caused by your PSU? )
    Perhaps it is just a driver or OS issue. You can be running along just fine for a year or two, but adding new hardware and drivers, can push OS registry health over the edge. You may have to use a driver cleaner utility to remove the previous drivers completely before installing the new drivers. See http://www.drivercleaner.net

  • K7N2 Vid Card fails to initialize

    Just bought a K7N2 Delta-L board today and swaped it will my old MB, still using the same hardware in the PC. Computer seems to post but monitor doesnt come on, it stays in standby mode. Tried a second vid card, but no good. Both vid cards work in another PC. Tried swaping ram, no effect. My hardware is as follows:
    K7N2 Delta-L Motherboard
    GForce TI 4200 AGP 128 MB
    350W Allied Power Supply
    2x 512MB 3200 DDR
    Western Digital 20GB harddrive
    Western Digital 180GB harddrive
    Generic Floppy
    Generic CDRW
    Any help with this would be appreciated.

    I didnt have the D-Bracket installed, just installed it and the first third and forth lights were red. Manual indicates that it is hanging when testing ram. Swaped out ram sticks and kept rebooting till all lights came green. Seems that the ram isnt working well together on this motherboard.

  • P35 Neo MB and a PCI Express 2.0 Vid Card?

    Hey, all:)
    First time poster here, so hope this is the right spot for my question.
    Here is the new card I want to put into my system. It will replace a MSI 8800 GT 512:
    MSI N550GTX-Ti Cyclone OC GeForce GTX 550 Ti (Fermi) 1GB 192-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16
    My MSI P35 Neo MB says  is PCI Express 1.0. Will a PCI Express 2.0 vid card run on a MB that is PCI Express 1.0? I do have a 585W PSU.
    I am guessing it may be backwards compatible, but my tech knowledge is pretty low:)
    MSI P35 Neo MB, current BIOS 1.60
    Intel Core 2 Duo [email protected] GHz
    4.0 Gskill PC 6400 RAM
    X-585 PSU
    XP Home SP3
    Thks, all for any help:)

    It will be backward compatible, however, I don't think you will benefit much from upgrading to the N550s as you can't utilize the full PCIE 2.0 lanes and speed, whereas the 8800GT are the top of line within their own series and you can make use of its full potential.

  • K9N2 SLI PLAT 1 vid card for PhysX only make both cards run at 8x?

    Hi all. I'm on the fence here as to what to buy. My current setup is (hopefully) displayed
    in my signature.
    Here is my concern as copied from the K9N2 Sli Platinum Manual:
    "• 1 mazarine PCI Express x16 slot with x16 operation (PCI Express Bus SPEC V2.0 compliant)
    • 1 light-blue PCI Express x16 slot with x8 operation (PCI Express Bus SPEC V2.0 compliant)
    • When 2 PCI Express x16 slots are all installed, the PCIE x 16 lanes will auto arrange form x16/ x0 to x8/ x8. Do not use the light-blue slot when only one PCI Express x16 card is installed."
    Is this normal for most SLI mainboards? I was thinking of upgrading in one of two ways:
    1) Just purchase a 9600GT for PhysX only and pop it in the other PCIE 16x slot
                              OR
    2) Go all out and buy another GTX 260 Core216 SC card, new Power Supply, and new PCIE Sound Card
       and SLI the 2 cards together.
    With option 1, will my GTX 260 get slowed to 8x ?? That may defeat my whole purpose for getting
    another vid card and dedicate it for PhysX; would it slow the main card down enough to impact it greatly?
    With Option 2, the reason for a new sound card is a second "2 slot" vid card means I'll only be able to use
    one of the 2 PCI slots. Currently, I have a Fax Modem and a SB Audigy SE in them.
    I use the modem on a regular basis to send/receive faxes, so I will have to replace the sound card.
    Anybody know if a Creative Labs SB X-FI Titanium PCIe can fit in the 1x slot between 2 SLI'd Vid cards?
    The 1x PCIE slot on this board is between the 2 16x slots, not the ideal spot I fear.
    If it won't fit between, my ONLY other choice would be to use the on board sound, which I am
    not fond of doing.
    My whole intention here is to play Cryostasis better than it does now, AND hopefully be ready
    for any newer games that incorporate PhysX. As it is now, I got Cryostasis free when I bought
    my new vid card, nice of eVGA to do that
    If I do this, I want it to be pretty future proof:
    I don't want to make EITHER investment solely for one game only. I'd prefer to
    go with option 2, but I REALLY don't want to find out AFTER I buy everything that
    I can't fit the new sound card between the 2 SLI'd cards :(
    Any help on this will be GREATLY appreciated,
    thank you.

  • Vid card for TV to HD Display yet?????/

    Aloha All,
    I am wondering where to find a vid card that allows cable hookup to see tv on my 30" HD display. I am not looking for a unit to record TV. I am looking for a card to fit into the pci express slot and be able to do both computer and TV functions on my 30" display and preferably in HD of course.
    Ideally one card with a cable input and DVI out, and or one with a switch to go back and forth.
    Does anyone know if anyone has make the like and if so where, ($$$$ not an issue), Maybe I should make one my self. What do you think?
    Mahalo RDM

    tadaaaa
