What graphic cards can I run on my PC?

I have recently bought this PC and have been using it for gaming. Unfortunately, my PC is only running games like,skyrim, at 20 frames per second or maybe 25. I was recomended to get a better graphics card but I have no idea which my PC can run. This is why I am asking the forum. Here is my computer model: http://h20565.www2.hp.com/portal/site/hpsc/template.PAGE/public/kb/docDisplay/?sp4ts.oid=5330783&spf...
I have made no modifications...

I would recommend you go here first, study the recommendations, and then consider your choices. Another articles would be here, about the UEFI BIOS. About cards, although the recommendation was a GTX260 (outdated), I spec'd a GTX670, see here with better performance. You still need a min of 500W PSU, and I like to follow the power curves, and selected a PSU in the 600-630W range. I like Rosewill 630 and Corsair CX600.

Need an upgrade! any ideas what graphics card can fit and work good in my computer?

I am upgrading my HP Pavilion dv6 notebook and I have a Intel Family HD graphics card and I would like to upgrade it.
I want a gaming graphics card that can fit into my computer and not go over the price of $250.
Please help me!

Hi,
Unfortunately, your existing graphics chip is integrated into the Motherboard and as such is not an upgradeable component - neither is there a suitable slot to be able to connect a discrete card.

What is a recommended Graphics card for G4MDD running tiger and sometimes..

What is a recommended Graphics card for G4MDD running tiger and sometimes 9.2.2
I really need to have both in accelerated mode, looking at my stats I currently have 9000 PRO with 64mb ram... don't need it for games but high end graphics applications currently using Starta Pro 2.5.3 on 9.2.2 which for my current purposes is afficient

The 9600 runs like crap in OS 9.2.2 with any ATI software you can find because ATI never wrote OS 9 drivers for the 9600. OS 9 ATI software does not recognize the card. You get a basic 2D monitor output that is soft, dull, slightly off-color, and cannot be enhanced with the Monitor's Control Panel calibration utility.
If you spend any amount of time in OS 9.2.2 or you want to use OS 9.2.2 for any of your old games (even 2-D video clip type games), don't get the 9600.
I have a 9600 installed in my MDD G4 and now have an original Radeon for Mac PCI video card installed as well. When I want to use any of my OS 9 games, I move the DVI cable from my LCD monitor over to the old Radeon card and restart.

Help!! What kind of graphics card can I upgrad my G5 1.8ghz dual?

Can anyone help me to find a graphics card for my G5 Tower 1.8Ghz dual core in order to install final cut studio2 and be able to use all of the software? My cpu came with NVDia GeForceFX 5200 (not Ultra).
Which Graphics card can I use or should I use to run the whole final cut studio2 (especially Motion 3 and Color)? Please help.

Hi-
So, you have a Dual 1.8 PPC G5, correct? 8x AGP graphics(?).
The two choices that you have, are, the ATI Radeon X800XT, or the Geforce 6800 Ultra.
Here are some benchmarks for comparison sake. Note that the 9800 is a possibility, but the X800 is better for FCP.
This benchmark shows how pitiful the 5200 really is.
One other option, is a flashed Geforce 7800 GS. These benchmarks show the possibilities.

What graphics card to buy for my PC so I can use target display on iMac?

Hey,
Currently I have a ATI Radeon 5850 in my PC which I use to play BC2. I have my iMac which I use primarily, and a second screen next to it when I want to play BC2. I wish to get rid of the smaller screen and just use the iMac screen.
I understand that I can not use the 5850 with the iMac in target display mode.
What graphics card choices do I have so I can use it with the iMac in target display mode?
Is it just graphics cards that have Mini Display ports as standard? I know the 5870 Eyefinity edition works with target display mode, but this is outside of the price range Im looking for. Is there a solution for around £250 as I can always sell the 5850. I dont mind going Nvidia, Does anybody know if the GeForce 460/470 works with the iMac?
Thanks, Simon.

Ive just saw that the new HD 6870 has mini display ports, and is in the perfect price range for me. Can anybody confirm that this card would work with target display mode?
Thanks.

Wondering what Graphics Card everyone is using!

What Graphics Card do you use?

I have an AGP ATI rage pro turbo (old but still very functional, and better than the Voodoo 3 3000 PCI that I was running previously) Being a college student and not having much money kinda makes you poor so I probably won't get a good Vid card until next summer, when I can afford to upgrade some more...
Curerent system:
Enermax 350 watt PSU
MSI KT333 Ultra ARU
AMD XP 2000+
256 MB DDR 266
80 gig's HD
ATI rage Pro Turbo (AGP)
EPO 16x DVD-ROM
Plextor 8x 4x 32x CD-RW

What graphics card is in my Mac?

Hi all,
I'd like to find-out what graphics card is in my Mac.
system_profiler list the following:
PCI/AGP Cards:
ATY,RV360:
Type: display
Bus: AGP
Slot: SLOT-1
VRAM (Total): 128 MB
Vendor: ATI (0x1002)
Device ID: 0x4152
Revision ID: 0x0000
ROM Revision: 113-A13602-121
If indeed this is the graphics card, it only tells me Radeon, but which model?
In the "Extensions:" list one may find many (e.g. 8500, 9700, Rage etc), but
this is a different story.
Does anyone know how to get the model from the system?
Thanks
Miklos

The key is the line:
<pre class=command>ATY,RV360:</pre>
If you lookup "ATI' and 'RV360' you'll find it matches the ATI Radeon 9600XT chipset.
You can also download ATI's driver utility to get information on your video card: https://support.ati.com/ics/support/default.asp?deptID=894

Hi there. I am in the process of choosing a laptop to load elements 11 on.Putting minimum requirements aside, is there any advantage in getting a dedicated as opposed to an integrated graphics card, would it run faster on an i5 as opposed to an i3 process

Hi there. I am in the process of choosing a laptop to load elements 11 on.Putting minimum requirements aside, is there any advantage in getting a dedicated as opposed to an integrated graphics card, would it run faster on an i5 as opposed to an i3 processor and does a screen resolution of more than 1024 x 768 make any diference in elements 11? What should I be looking for to enable elements 11 to work efficiently without over specing? thanks folks !

PSE doesn't make big demands on the graphics card, but you want a screen that is at least 800 px tall to be able to use all the features. Some things, like the raw converter, may not appear at less than that.

T430, disable "OS Detection for NVIDIA OPtimus" in BIOS, no graphic card can be found in Windows

I try to use my T430 minidisplayport to connect with external display. But it is so unstable that the connection between laptop and display can lost anytime. That is so annoying. I use Nvidia control panel in Windows to force use NVS5400M instead of HD4000, but it seems doesn't change anything.
I heard if I select the discrete graphic card in BIOS, then it may fix the display connection lost problem. Then I go to the BIOS and set the "discrete", and disable "OS Detection for NVIDIA OPtimus" in BIOS Config Display (This is necessary otherwise the laptop will change it back to Optimus automatically.). But after I log into Windows, then no graphic card can be found, Why? How should I fix this problem?
The external display issue in T430 is so annoying. The VGA suffers very serious noise while the minidisplay is so unstable. Even worse, there is no any lenovo staff stand out to help !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If anyone has experience, please share that.
Thank so much.

Hello Mark, thanks for help. Please see my answers below:
1. Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bits.
2. Yes, I did. The BIOS is latest (2.65). The NVS5400M driver is 333.02.
3. My display is Asus MX239, which only has HDMI. I use an adapter cable: miniDP->HDMI and then an HDMI-HDMI cable I try to connect to a Samsung TV, but similar. I don't have a miniDP to HDMI cable. I just order one but has not get it.
Sorry that I post in multiple threads. As I mentioned in that thread, let me conclude all these here.
After I disable "OS Detection for NVIDIA OPtimus" in BIOS, then I istalled the NVS5400M 333.11 driver. Then the NVS5400 can be found in Windows. But the displayport problem still exist. It is still very very difficult to detect external monitor (this means in most cases I can't switch to external display), and even sometimes it works, the connection can lost anytime.
Even worse, I found a new problem, that if I disconnect my T430 with power supply, then I can see the "pink bar" appear and disappear in the laptop screen (not external monitor) repetitively, quickly. I have never seen this problem before, only after I install NVS 333.11. Then I reinstall the 333.02 driver. Then I enabled the "OS Detection for NVIDIA OPtimus" in BIOS again. The "pink bar" issue gone. It looks like the issue is caused by 333.11 driver. But this driver comes from Nvidia offical driver download website.
So now the most important thing I need help is, I need to have a stable solution to connect external display. In T430, there are only two ports for external display:
1. VGA
2. MiniDisplayPort
Please help me following questions:
1. When I try to use VGA, I can see very very bad noise in external display. This issue also be posted in previous thread in forum. This should be a hardware design failure. Is there any solution to fix this that I can use VGA without noise in external display?
2. My T430 has both HD4000 and NVS5400M, if I need to use miniDP (which is I prefer, I have digital port why I use VGA.) for display. Does miniDP only work when the NVS5400 is used (it looks like that)?
3. If miniDP only works NVS5400, so how should I configure to ensure the T430 use NVS5400 all the time? Do I have to disable "OS Detection for NVIDIA OPtimus" in BIOS or I can switch using Nvidia Control panel in windows ?
4. Would you please provide me a configuration for T430 (include BIOS, and setting in Nvidia Control panel) that can support stable external display thru miniDP? Include driver versions and BIOS version.
5. What are potential reasons that the external display can't be detected and can lost connection anytime with T430? To be noted, I already set to use NVS5400 in Nvidia Control panel. The case is also same I disable "OS Detection for NVIDIA OPtimus" in BIOS. I think cable may be a issue.
Thanks again.

What graphics card did you use with the Asus A8AE LE motherboard?

I have an old a1210n with an A8AE LE motherboard with a PCIe x16 slot 1.0. I wish to know what graphics cards anyone has successfully run on that motherboard (see the computer model list below)?

What graphic card do I have in my MacBook?

I think this is a stupid question, but what graphic card do I have in my notebook? The Windows Device Manager lists "ATI Mobility Radeon X1600" whereas on the Apple.com site "NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT" is listed.
I have a MacBook Pro 17"

Only the latest release of the MacBook Pro has the nVidia 8600. Previous versions had the Radeon X1600.

Hi-
I think you will find there are more users of the ATI Radeon 9800 that DON'T have a 300w PSU, than those that do. It would leave out the majority of the G4 line if it were absolutely necessary. As I see it, it isn't absolutely necessary, and, it is also the ONLY higher end upgrade graphics card commercially produced for 2x, 4x AGP systems, most of which, DON'T have a 300w PSU.
My Sawtooth has a 237w PSU, and the 9800, and my processor upgrade, and 2 internal drives, all work just fine!
As for the piggyback connection, that is how you connect the power to the 9800. A splitter molex cable is used to split power from the superdrive connection, between the superdrive and the 9800.

Hi:
That is an old model.
The specs state it has onboard (integrated graphics).
If you are sure it is just the graphics that is kaput (you would know that if you hear Windows boot up and the logon music sounds or something) then...
I would get a used Dell Radeon HD 2400 on eBay which should work just fine for you, but you will need to have a monitor with a DVI connection and a DVI cable.
This is the cheapest one I could find.

HP ENVY 700-074 Desktop - what graphics card do I need to install to use a blu ray player?

I purchased an external blu ray player - "LG 14x external blu-ray/dvd writer super multi blue be14". For some reason I thought my system was compatible. However, it's not - apparently the Intel(R) 4600 won't work. What graphics card would I need to install to allow using this blu-ray device? What else do I need to know?

Ah, I should add, the Blu ray player's support site (for Cyberlink) suggested a pile of different drivers - 30 or 40, but didn't offer any specifics regarding my particular system. What I really need to know is what would be the best option for my particular system.

What graphic cards can I run on my PC?
