Video card/games

I have a powerbook g4 with a nVIDIA GeForce FX Go5200 32mb card (about 1-1/4 years old). I'm baffled by the requirements for playing games and hoping someone can tell me whether ones with GeForce2 MX or better will play properly on my machine - e.g. medal of honor etc. i've had few problems running 007 nightfire which required GeForce 2 or better (only an occasional crash). Many thanks in advance for any help deciphering these cards!

Hi,
The 5200 is a superior card to the 2MX, so you shouldn't have any problems there.
Regards,
Matt

Help! Video card issues- Slow during games

Hey everyone, so heres my problem. I just got a brand new mbp 13" with 4 gigs ram with the new battery and everything. I have the game monkey island and spore on my mac. I also have windows xp installed on the other partition of my hard drive. I just need windows for one piece of software I use that I accidentally bought for my pc that died so now I'm stuck running it on my mac in windows. I also have modern warfare 2 on the windows side. Up until a couple days ago all the games were running really great, however yesterday something popped up on my windows saying something about malware (ughhh) and then call of duty on the windows side was running completely sluggish and when I restarted the computer in mac and tried to run spore or monkey island both of them are running slow too. What is weird is that it is only sluggish when running these games, never when watching movies or anything else that requires a video card. Could I have got a virus thats also affecting my mac os. Could this be a hardware issue? I'm just not sure. Would appreciate any help

If you got a virus on your Windows partition, that in itself wouldn't affect Mac OS X partition directly. If you have a Windows partition you should take all the usual Windows related measures to ensure your system is protected against Virus/ Trojans/ Malware etc by installing Anti Virus software.
Have you reset your PRAM (and/or Permissions)? Did this have any effect?
Since your MBP is so new, if a PRAM (& permissions) reset didn't help, I'd make an appointment to see a Genius at your local Apple Store and get them to check your MacBook Pro over.

Issues with games, video card issue?

Hi,
I have been having issues with games lately. Mostly they are hidden object games from Big Fish, but they start up then minimize, it doesn't crash completely just minimizes, I click on it again and it works for a few seconds and minimizes itself again and again. I am unable to play the games because it keeps minimizing. could this be an issue with my video card? I have attempted updating it but it doesn't seem to help. Any ideas?

Ok OK, Update...
the games work perfectly on my father's HP which runs windows 7...so it definatly is NOT because of not updated stuff....I really dont know what else to do at this point....no suggestions from anyone?!?!?!

New Member / Video Card Choice Question

New CS4 Production Premium User Here.
I am building a computer system specifically for Video Editing and production for use with Premier CS4 & Sony Vegas.. Have been doing my usual amount of Over Research here and other places but have a series of issues I am having a little trouble coming to grips with.
I have been into computer editing game for a long time but strictly in the Audio Recording /Mixing area /..
Video is a new interest which has me hooked / Im also a Gear Junkie so I have to watch it. 
I will probably be back with a couple more topics but to keep this thread simple /
My first post question is the topic of Video cards: Adobes Hardware compatibility list seems a little out dated. ?
The system does not have to be an ultimate gaming rig as I am not into that / just SD & HD Video editing & 3d effects.. I need a card which will do what is needed / works well with Premier CS4 / Is not too loud fan wise / can run 24/5 and not overheat.
I also will need the ability to monitor on a HD TV with a good sound monitoring system / Midas / Bryston / Dynaudio etc;
I was considering either of the following / from lowest price to highest.
ASUS GeForce 9600GT Silent 650MHZ 512MB 1.8GHZ DDR3 PCI-E Dual DVI-I HDCP HDTV Out
ASUS GeForce 9800GT Matrix 612MHZ 512MB 1.8GHZ DDR3 PCI-E Dual DVI-I HDCP HDTV Out
ASUS GeForce 9800GTX+ Dk 740MHZ 512MB 2.3GHZ DDR3 PCI-E Dual DVI-I HDCP HDTV Out
Questions:
Is a 512mb card sufficient?
Will all of the above do what is needed for my purpose?
What about noise of heat issues.
My system could be running close to 24/5 at times.
Have not made a final decision on all components but will probably basically start of like this.
Vista 64 Bit/OS
Core I7 940
Asus Rampage 2 Extreme or a plain P6T
Antec 1200 Case / For now I will leave out the hard drives and other things on my list.
My builder suggests to stick with ASUS Video Cards because he has the fastest warranty replacement service on his end for ASUS products / plus I am a total ASUS Motherboard guy with years satisfied experiences.. (in Audio setups).
Any feedback or comments on the above will be appreciated.
Thanks / Orion

Thanks Members for the Feedback:
I am trying to stick just to the Video Card Issues so the topic does not get all over the map / Raid issues have already been researched & I might have a question about that later in another thread.
Witha the video card issue I am just trying to see if I can get a reply which the majority of users agree upon / not an easy task & that is were my confused state of topic started.
b Keith
It seems what you have said about QUADRO cards is the most agreed upon overall from my last three months of research at various locations / The cost is extreme for these cards & I was just trying to determime if I realy needed to go that far : >$2,000.00 and up.
just for the Graphics card..
Perhaps I should start of with one of the cards I first mentioned which are dirt cheep compared to the Quadro series and replace it when I have arrived at the point where my shills are beyond my hardware limitations.
b Charles & Jim.
Thanks for the reference to the . >ASUS GeForce 9800GTX+ Dk 740MHZ 512MB 2.3GHZ DDR3< I was thinking this might be the best to start with / except for the reported could be problems of / Noise / card size and Heat issues if running 24/5?
Other issues you have stated also seem to be agreed upon from mny sources as well / which is why I am considering perhaps not going Raid "o" from the start / perhaps Raid 5.. / or No Raid until I see If realy need it for my own personal use level.
b conclusion to this point in the game:
Looks like If I do a top notch system following all the higher end recomendations it will cost me over $10,000.00 (if I include a capture card / raid card (Areca 1220 or 1240(don't want to get into that topic just yet)& all the extras... This is about double the investment I had planned as this is basically a serious hobby not a business venture. Plus we have not included another $6,000.00 for a half decent peosumer HD camera with a few extras. I was trying to keep the entire setup to 8 to 10 grand total.. Not including the software / so this looks like wishfull thinking at best / Ho Ho.
b remember / unfortunately my pricing reflects Canadian $$ which includes a 25% hike in pricing because our government wants the loonie (Good Name) low valued so businesses can export our products at built in 25% Sale Pricing.
Perhaps,we wont get into that topic/please, but I just couldn't resist / when I start thinking about government issues (anywhere in this world) I tend to go off the deep end as part of why I am going into this video thing is to document the destruction of our environment & the entire democratic process, which is a total farce in my neck of the woods. Nuff Said..
Again Thanks for the input and I will keep watching and perhaps cover another topic later / my goal is to place an order for a build within the next 10 days of so.

Video capture driver for MSI GeForce 2 Pro video card

Hi,
I am in need of the nVidia WDM video capture driver for my Geforce 2 Pro video card. Model #M-8831. I was able to download it from the MSI/TW website over a year ago just fine. My computer crashed from a game bug a couple of months ago and MSI/TW does not list the capture driver I need any longer. I did email the company asking for help with no response back yet (after 2 weeks). You people may be my last hope.
I do have the cd that came with the video card, but I've never been able to install the capture driver from it. There is a button to install it, but it never gets loaded. I've tried browsing the cd and also tried installing it using the windows wizards with zero results. My only successful install was from the MSI home website.
If you need more information, please let me know.
Thank you,
Bruce ?(

Ive tried telling my dear drivers where the graph card is by extracting the info from lspci and put in
"PCI:5:0:0"
But that doesn't seem to help (and 5:0:1 makes the X go bananas and refuse to start, but i have no idea why i have two of them pci busses occupied by me video card according to pciutils)
Then i realize that the fglrx module probably do find the bus! Just not a device to match with it (that's what the log sais), so after some searching i found something about that maybe the device identifier wasn't created in the /dev dir (/dev/dri/<device identifier>) But of what i could list it actully where there under the name of card0 wich i assumed the card identifier had to be named aswell, but after changing that... no dice. And it seemes like the vesa driver finds the device .
It is for me admitingly weird that when loading the vesa driver Ce X finds my card under /dev/dri/card0 But not from the begging with the "ati-driver"
I reasently switched from debian, after switching from gentoo, after switching from ubuntu. And i remembered that the stable ati driver for the x850xt card didnt work with debians new kernel (!) so had to use the one from the test branch... But trying that here on arch (using the 8.12-2 driver) didnt work either. And unfortunally i cant find the info again on what driver the debian ppl had modified that did and did not work.
It feels like there is some minor fault i myself overlooked the past 3 days, so hope that providing this information to you might make a bell ring out there for someone.
Juppa
PS! hope i didnt confuse you to much, im abit confused by the log and the texts ive read, apparently fglrx is the ati module and catalyst is the driver, but you are sposed to put fglrx as driver in the xorg.conf so it must be the driver? And accorinding to the log it involves the fglrx eh... module when loading the vesa driver, or is the log just telling me that the fglrx module/driver has been disabled (fglrx(0)) and that they went on trying with the vesa driver/module instead?

High Temp. AMD Video Card

Hello,i bought my Lenovo B50-70 Laptop at 3/1/2015 (at the begin of the new year)its Spec: Intel Core i7 4510U 2GHz4 GB Ram500 GB HDD ( Toshiba)Video Card:Intel HD Graphics ( i think that it is Intel HD 4400)AMD Radeon R5 M230 i installed the newest driver for the AMD graphics card from the web site of AMD 15.5 (Beta)it showed up that my card is M8500 and its wrong but no problem with itYesterday i was opening PES 13 it told me that my Laptop doesn't meet the minimum requirement (GPU:VRAM 128)i opened the settings of it and it told me that the Card is just 32 MB !!!and the game can't runi checked its Temp. from the Speecy Program it showed up that my Laptop's graphics card (AMD) is 511 !!! i want a solution for it please thanks and sorry for the too much writing Screen Shots:

The temperature sensor is obviously wrong I found mine reads that too when the amd graphics are not active. as for the ram that is dynamicly assigned to either the intel or amd graphics you will need to make sure your pro soccer is set to max performance in the switching graphics setting so it uses the amd gpu... the ram should get assigned to it when it is active...

Good Video Card on a Budget?

I'm interested in getting a new video card for my pc. Currently i'm using a nvideo geforce 7050 which is pretty good for a built-in card but i'd like to get something better. some games i play are only going at 10fps so iwas wondering if i could do a decent upgrade on a budget. I've only got around $70 so first i'm thinking is that, is this possible? Second if it is, what should i be looking for: built-in memory, core speed...
I've been looking at newegg's deals:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...2&N=2010380048
and it looks like PCI express is the way to go now. I'd like to get an Nvidia card because I've had so good of an experience with Nvidia on Linux, but have seen some good things on ATI too. Any thoughts?

The computer does have a PCI express slot and thanks for the tip about looking at the core as i didn't know they did that.
Did a bit of research and learned a few things. First off that the versioning (8400...) tells what features the card has (core [usually],dx10, vdpau...) and that GS/GT/GTS are for clock speeds. GTS prices are... well, out of the budget. But a good GT card will be able to boost things quite a bit. Currently I'm getting ~10fps for wow, 40fps for Urban Terror, and ~15fps on Doom3 at a horrible 640x480, so there's definitely room for improvment.
The GeForce 9500 looks pretty good and been thinking about the Geforce 9600 which is pretty much a trimmed down 8800 GTS. Couldn't find any reviews of the 9600 gso for gaming so i'm not sure about that. I'm going to look at ebay and see just what i can find there.

Video card recomendation - Asus GT430 or GT520 or 210

Hi,
I´m trying to decide on buying a discrete graphics card.
At the time I'm using an onboard Intel GMA 4500 (which works pretty well but usually when I get out of sleep mode in W7 64bit the file I have open in photoshop gets frozen, I zoom in and out but the screen doesn't refresh; I have to maximize photoshop for the file to refresh. Sometimes it doesn't even refresh after restoring photoshop).
Maybe this has nothing to do with the video card and is just a photoshop issue.
Anyway, which of these 3 cards do you think will improve the performance (the cheaper the best):

http://www.amazon.com/Asus-GeForce-Silent-Profile-PCI-Express/dp/B004X68L44/ref=wl_it_dp_o _npd?ie=UTF8&coliid=I2DMCG99CPWXXF&colid=F5P3DUM50O0I (USD 60)

Do you thing it's worth buying a video card or should I stay with the one onboard.
I work in web design and I use Photoshop CS5, Illustrator and Dreamweaver (sometimes working with Ai/Psd files from 30 to 60MB, these files are the ones I notice stress more the machine when zooming or moving layers).
I don't play games. I watch HD video but the onboard card handles it quite Ok.
Thanks in advance, Jimmy

I've had the best results with ATI video cards, myself.
Reading between the lines, if your budget is under $100 I'd recommend the VisionTek ATI Radeon HD 5670 (which is the card I use), or move up to the newer 6670 model if you have a few $$$ more.

Video Card Upgrade for HP Pavilion Dv7 2040us

HI My Dv7 2040us has an ATI Radeon 4650 video card. I want to run some new games and I need at least 4860 to run them. I was looking around and it seems I need to get a new card and install it directly to my motherboard. This is all do able for me I just need to know which new card would be compatible with my model of notebook. If anyone knows which one or where I can begin to look for one I would greatly appreciate the info. Thanks!
This question was solved.

Hi:
The only way you can upgrade the video in your notebook is to replace the entire motherboard with one that has a better video solution.
However, when you look at chapter 3 of the service manual at the link below, you are already at the top of the mark regarding what video chip is on the available motherboards.

So, you will either have to live with the status quo or buy a new notebook.

Upgrade Video Card for HP Pavilion a6228x Desktop PC

I'm wanting to upgrade the video card and was wondering if there were any suggestions as to a good card for under $60. I just need something equivalient to "NVIDIA GeForce 7800 GT or ATI Radeon X1950 Pro" or better. I just got Star Wars the Old Republic and my factory istalled graphics card is not powerful enough. I'm a bit confused on what type of graphics card my desktop takes. I did read that it has
PCI Two (One available) PCI Express x16 One (One available) PCI Express x1 One (One available)
Would a PCI Express 2.0 fit in one of these?
One of the cards I am considering is:

Any suggestions would be great. Thank you.

Hi,
You might want to google Stars Wars Old Republic system requirements and see what others are suggesting. Game performance is also tied to the game quality settings and monitor resolution that you want to use.
I suggested these upgrades for another user wanting some suggestions.

Video Card and PSU upgrade for HP pavilion p6310y?

Hello,
I am a mild gamer and I would like to upgrade my video card so I could play games like minecraft and maplestory without my frame rate dropping every 5-10 min. When this happens it sounds like the fan in my computer is working really hard and the game is almost unplayable. I also play a few games from steam such as Gmod and Borderlands, however the games that seem less graphic intensive give me more problems.
Should I and am I able to upgrade the video card and psu for this HP pavilion p6310y? or possibly get a better card for these game without upgrading psu?
Processor is Quade core AMD Athlon II X4 630 / 2.8 GHz
6gigs of ram
1 tb harddrive
NVIDIA GeForce 9100
300 watt power supply

Any help would be much appreciated!

Hi,
Yuo might try updating the video driver from the NVIDIA web site.
Your PC has a 300 watt power supply. If you don't need DirectX 11 (used for better detail in newer games), then the NVIDIA GT 240 1GB or 512 MB DDR5 is about tops for a 300 watt power supply.

CAN I UPGRADE MY VIDEO CARD ON MY LAPTOP? I'M USING HP PAVILION DV4-1125NR

I'M PLANNING TO UPGRADE MY LAPTOP SINCE MANY SOFTWARE GAMES REQUIRES HIGHER VIDEO CARD. IS IT POSSIBLE TO UPGRADE MY VIDEO CARD? I'M USING HP PAVILION DV4-1125NR.

Not possible Unfortunately...all cards nowadays are built in only
It was possible in the old days
but laptop manufacturers found it more "profitable" to make it not, this way the user will have to buy a new laptop every few years.
there are some third party solutions but they aren't effective really

P.S.: sorry for my bad English i'm still learning it if you see a mistake can you tell it to me so I can be a native speaker.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Here are the specs for your HP G5305be Desktop Computer. According to the specs, this model has a PCIe x16 expansion slot for graphics cards and a 300 watt power supply. You will need to replace the power supply with a 500 or 600 watt unit to run the MSI GTX650 Ti BOOST TWIN FROZR III card. The Corsair CX500 or CX600 come highly recommended and are known to fit most HP consumer computer cases.
