What video cards will the p7-1423w support?

I would like to upgrade my video graphics to something that will support Witcher 2. I picked up a video card but then realized the power consumption is too great for this pc. Any suggestions on what card I can get that will support this type of graphics? (It is a windows 8 machine if that makes any difference.)
Thanks!

Hello Leach69,
There are two things to consider when purchasing a video card. The slots that are available in your computer and the power supply that is already in the computer. If you are looking to play modern games you are going to need a good video card, as you already know. I would suggest that you also consider upgrading your power supply to something that provides more power so that you can use that card that does use more power consumption.
Upgrading the power supply is also going to give you the freedom to do other upgrades in the future if you choose to do so. The power supply that is currently in your computer is only 300w from what I can tell, this means you are going to be extremely limited.
I'd suggest upgrading your power supply to something around a 550w - 600w then you can get just about any video card you want as long as you have the slot for it.

How do I know what video card will be compatable?

Hi, I think I need a new video card, but I'm really not sure what new card will be compatable with my computer , an HP m9077c that operates with Vista.I see it has an Nvidia Geforce 8500 gt in it now, but looking for new ones to buy I see things like (XFX PVT 86JYAHG GEforce 8500 GT 450mhz 512mbgddr2svideo/dvi/vga/pci express16 ) for $35 , but then I see right next to it plain old GEforce 8500 gt for $111. What's the difference?I just want a replacement, it doesn't even have to be the same brand, as long as it will work as well or better. How can I tell which one will be compatable?

Hi:
I would go for a newer video card like this one.
It should perform along the lines as your 8500 or better.

I have a p6240f. what video card will run battlefield 3 and run on my cpu.

i have a p6240f. what do i need to do to run battlefield 3 and mw3

Hi,
You might want to review the system requirements for Battlefield 3. I don't believe that MW3 is on the market yet although it can be preordered.
You will also need to upgrade the power supply.
As for a video card, I would recommend the AMD Radeon 6850. It's $130 after rebate. The Corsair CX500 is a quality power supply priced at $40 after rebate.
These are the motherboard specifications for your PC. The slot adjacet to the PCI-E x16 slot needs to be vacant.
These HP "how-to" articles should be helpful with the hardware installations.

What Video card does my Satellite A100 supports?

I have Satellite A100 - How would i know that I have Nvidia or ATI video card in my laptop?

How?
That easy! You will see all your notebook devices in the device manager.
You can also start the DirectX tool using the command +dxdiag+ where all graphic details would be shown.

GFX card has died, what new cards will my P965 Platinum support?

Good morning all. As the topic says, my gfx card has died. It was a Gainward 8800GTS 320mg, and fell foul of the apparently common solder issue. It's way out of warranty now, so i need a new card. I can't afford a full upgrade, so i need to find a card that will run on my P965 Platinum. The 3 cards that i'm considering are the nVidia 550Ti, the ATI 6790, and most of all the ATI 6850. Will they all work, but primarily will the 6850 work on the P965, or will I have issues due to it being an ATI card?
My hardware specs are:
P965 Platinum, running the stock BIOS (i assume, i have never flashed it).
Intel E6600 dual core, running at stock speed.
4 sticks of Corsair xms2 "cm3x1024-6400c4" 4-4-4-12 800mhz DDR2 ram, at stock settings.
Corsair HX620W PSU. I can't check exactly what it's running at as the gpu is dead, but the manual says:
+3.3V 24A 170W
+5V 30A 170W
+12V1 18A 600W
+12V2 18A 600W
+12V3 18A 600W
-12V 0.8A 9.6W
+5VSB 3A 15W
WD Raptor system drive.
As a secondary question, what E and Q chips can the Platinum take, preferably without a BIOS update? The main MSI website no longer has the 965 specs available and my manual is nowhere to be found.
Thank you very much for any help that you can provide.
edit: sorry, forgot to mention that i'm running XP SP2 (32bit i think), and have no intention of ever having 2 gfx cards so crossfire/SLI isn't an issue for me. Upgrading to 64bit win7 is no trouble if that's necessary/advised.

What video cards are supported for os X?

What video cards are supported for os X? besides the one apple sells.

There is no official list from Apple, since they don't support hardware besides what they will install. YOu can look up support for certain cards, since people have used 3rd party ones. YOu should be able to come up with a particular cards compatability.

What video card w/ specs are needed to drive the "master" thunderbolt 27" display?

Figure that thie new ThunderBolt display will also work with non-MAC systems i.e. a PC running WIN 7 64b. Just curious what
video card(s) are recommended to use with this new monitor. Currently using the EVGA "Classified" GEForce GTX590 card to power
a 30" Apple Cinema Display and the 27" Apple Cinema Dispay - both work great - w/no issues at all.

Hello,
I too agree with the points Mylenium stated. We have discussed about multiple computers (desktop & laptop), but people don't like the mess it would cause in terms of file syncronization etc. And it would also mean double effort for the IT to maintain all the software updates etc. in that many computers. We do work quite a lot in meetings etc. and work and collaborate directly with using these programs. So it would mean double work to first make notes in a meeting and then do work in another computer according to the notes. So the decision of using a good laptop is not random but thought.
Our current laptops were selected in the CS2 era and they have survived well updates up to CS4. I haven't yet tested what CS5.5 would do in terms of performance and usability. The idea of changing and configuring a computer every year according to the latest models and software requirements does not sound good. That's why I stated the point that the computer to be selected should survive at least a few CS updates.
SSDs. I don't see them pricely at all. We've changed SSDs to the current laptops and they increased their lifetime by at least two years. Incredible increase in speed! I really do recommend SSDs and would not even consider using mechanical drives anymore. In general I don't see the price of the laptop as problem -- it costs a lot more to configure and install the computer than the price of the computer. And if the computer is slow and/or needs to be changed often to a new model, it costs even more in lost employee performance.
So conclusion up to now:
- Win 7 64 bit
- 8 GB memory
- SSD drive
- min i5 processor
- Graphics card? Mobile Quadro NVS 3100M?
So the current computer model could be:
Dell E6410
- Intel Core™ i7-640M
- NVIDIA® NVS 3100M 512MB gDDR3
- 14.1” WXGA+ LED Display (1440x900)
- 8 GB dual channel DDR3 memory, 1 333 MHZ
- 128 GB SSD

What graphics cards does the original Mac Pro support?

I am thinking about buying a used original 2007 Mac Pro. This Mac Pro would not come with a graphics card, so I am obviously responsible for finding one for it. I found a Radeon HD 5770 that I like on Newegg, and want to know if it would work with the Mac Pro. I really can't imagine it not, but don't want to toss a piece of hardware in my new machine that won't work.
Here's the graphics card in question: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127490
So, will it work? If not, is my only option for a 5770 the one that is available on the Apple Online Store? What other cards does this Mac Pro support?
Thanks, guys (and gals)!

Apple's 5770 $249 for now is the 'safe' but not best in price and whether you want to run OS X ____ ? limits you also, so unless you run 10.6.5 or Lion even the 5770 is out

Nvidia 8800GT video card in the First Generation Mac Pro

This message is a bit of advice if you install the new Nvidia 8800GT video card in the first generation Mac Pro. The advice is keep your old video card. The old video card will be needed if you ever need to reinstall the OS X operating system. This new card needs the video drivers (kernel extensions) that are in OS X leopard 10.5.2 or later. With this video card installed, both the OS X original installation disk that came with this computer and the OS X leopard upgrade disks will cause a kernel panic when booted up. This is because they do not contain the kernel extensions needed for this video card. There is a question. Does anyone know how to create and burn a reinstallation DVD with OS X leopard version 10.5.2 on it? This would help solve this reinstallation problem

this is a advisory to whom it may concern
here my latest reply from a apple product specialist how was very good and helpful but only
give me this to my upgrade answer !
i want to upgrade my graphic card to 8800 and run tiger on my 1st gen macpro
here it goes:
"This article indicates what cards are supported in what machines: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305346
Your Mac Pro is the first generation, and did not have PCI-Express 2.0 slot like the current generation does have.
Unfortunately, we don't foresee the release of any drivers for the 10.4 OS on this machine.
In regards to the second issue, we also don't support two video cards in two slots, using a different one for eash OS, there is no supported way to do this."
"Unfortunately, the latest version of the Mac Pro will not run Tiger, as it was manufactured after the release of Leopard, therefore the drivers for the machines hardware will not be available on Tiger."
hope thats cleared some ones Q.
kindly

Won't really see a video card in the PCI slots

I have a G4 MDD 1.23 GHz. I have a 32 MB video card in the AGP slot, but I also have 2 PCI 128 MB video cards lying around.
Every time I try to throw a PCI video card in, though, I have problems. The image is only 640 x 480 grayscale, nothing else. I tried to change the settings, but those are the only options.
I have a 3DFX Voodoo 2 and a TwinTurbo 128. Do I need drivers? Does the MDD not support video cards in the PCI slots? What's wrong with this picture?

For what it's worth, here's a few quotes:
[IX Micro Twin Turbo 128 video card, and I understand that OS X does not like that particular card|http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg43189.html]
[The TwinTurbo cards are no longer supported by OS X (10.3).|http://forums.macosxhints.com/archive/index.php/t-30258.html]

Aperture Dual monitors, what video card for AGP?

I am running two 20 inch apple monitors with the stock ATY 128 mb card. I am going to be upgrading the card soon because the system is so slow. I know that I am limited because this system can only use AGP cards.
What is the best AGP card available?
Also, will I notice a huge difference if I add even more ram?
powermac g5 Mac OS X (10.4.9)

That is probably enough RAM, if you aren't also running with Photoshop running all the time.
You should open Activity Monitor and keep an eye on the page outs under memory. If that number is growing rapidly, then you need more RAM. Otherwise, you don't.
The video card will make a very large difference -- if you can actually find it.

Better video cards for the new 8-core Mac Pro...?

I don't know a ton about video cards. I did some research and the internet says that the Nvidia GeForce GTX 295 video card is the best card out right now. Will it work in the 8-core macpro? If not, or if it's not the best, what is the best video card that will work in the 8-core macpro?
P.S.
Does anyone know how to tell exactly whether a video card is better from another? I mean I can guess a video card at 1792MB is going to be better then one at 512MB, but I've also heard that, for example, the ATI Radeon HD 4870 512MB is better then the NVIDIA GeForce GT 120 512MB, and apple charges more for it so it probably is better, but all that tells me is the name of the cards, and that they are both at 512MB, so from that without any other information I would assume they're exactly the same just made by different companies, but there must be some other details that would explain why it's better right? Thanks in advance

Well I found out the Quadro FX 4800 works on it, that looks pretty good.
It's a good card, but it has a different application focus.
What applications do you use?
Answering that helps determine what the best card is.
The 5800 is better though, will it work?
Better, how?
The spec's read better?
How about real world performance?
Benchmarks?
They are very similar in shape and such.
Shape has little to do with anything.
The ROM is the key.
If the card is not produced as "OS X compatible", it does not have Mac ROM and cannot be used.
If there is a Mac edition that is similar (same GPU series, similar architecture) the ROM may be flashed to Mac ROM.
Especially in Geforce cards, the ability to edit ROMs and even write portions of the ROM is necessary to be able to flash a card.
Even then, no guarantees.
Often a port on a flashed card won't work after flashing.
Seems the 5800 has a 10 bit display port, so if the card were flashable, the display port wouldn't work.
The ROM chip size of a card is also of concern.
Many cards require either a new, larger ROM chip to accept the Mac ROM (soldering), or, require a hacked, "reduced" ROM to be written to allow flash.
Invariably, there will be some feature loss with a reduced ROM, but a good hacker usually gets rid of superfluous stuff.
Cards with more VRAM than the Mac counterpart will often times lose the extra VRAM- it won't be read by OS X.
Then there is the EFI question, which often creates a final stumbling block for converting a card.
There are many pioneers who flash cards.
If a card is flashable, it has already been done.
The Quadro 4500, 4800, and 5600 have all been worked out.
As of yet, the 5800 hasn't been sussed out for flash (as far as I can find).
Flashing the card is easy.
Finding a physically compatible card and a compatible ROM are the hard parts.
The two best retail cards for the Mac Pro are the Geforce GTX 285 and the Radeon HD 4870.

How do I export FCP project to DigiBeta -- what video card?

How can I export my 90 minute movie edited in FCP to a rented DigiBeta deck, so it will be broadcast quality? What video card do I need to buy? I can't afford an HD, so an SD card is fine for now. Where do I get one? And how much? Are they easy to install? Is it as easy as transferring to mini-DV, but to digibeta? Are there controls while transferring, or does it automatically make a perfect clone of the FCP project onto DigiBeta? I can't find info on video cards in SD anywhere for the MAC. Thank you.
g5 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

See if this helps.
In the analog world, every generation - copying from one tape to the next - loses quality. A generation of BetaSP doesn't destroy the material, but a generation on VHS pretty much does.
If you have something important that is already on VHS, it will still lose some quality going to BetaSP. Probably not enough to matter, but the best quality will still come from that VHS tape.
The analogy to digital video:
Contrary to what everybody thought in the early days, digital video often works the same way. As soon as you commit images to DV compression you have compressed it and lost a lot of the quality of the otiginal camera signal.
As soon as you apply transitions, filters, CC, etc. in editing, you are recompressing and losing more quality. Sometimes these two compressions create visible problems.
Fortunately, outputting that product to DV tape is a digital clone of the date and loses no quality. So there is nothing gained by going to DigiBeta from your system as compared to taking a tape out for transfer.
But when you take that DV edit from DV format to DigiBeta, it is being compressed again. It will lose quality. Not as much as another DV recompression, but enough to make any visible artifacting worse.
The best thing, in my oopinion, for you to do is to move your bits into a DigiBeta-equivalent sequence (is that the same as DVCPro50?) and render. Then find a way to get that into DigiBeta - most likely from hard drive at a service bureau or dub house.
The second best thing you can do is to tell the dub house that your deliverable is going to be DV. If it makes them feel any better you can provide it as a QT file.
In the end DigiBeta will not add to your quality but decrease it. Probably not a enough to matter, but enough to be a ridiculous requirement under the corcumstances.
Also consider whether they are working for you, or you are working for them.
