Will graphics card fit my motherboard?

ive currently got an msi 945P neo 2-F motherboard, and i wish to buy a nividia 8800gt graphics card (when i can find one)
i was just wondering, as these cards seem to be quite long, will it actually fit my motherboard ok? before i buy one then find out it doesnt fit!
thanks

Well it wouldn't be the first time a card won't fit because of too long or too thick.

  • MSI graphics cards and MSI motherboards

    Do MSI "tend" to match their graphics cards with their motherboards? .... would I benefit from matching an MSI graphics card with my K8T Neo2 motherboard?
    JLP

    Noooooooo, not at all.
    I have some K8N neo2 platinum combined with an msi nx6800gt and although
    i'm very happy with game performance, there are times i would expect more.
    My GT has lots of problems when not running at stock.
    Even at 365/1050 there is some stuttering (rarely, and for about 2 seconds) but
    still, there is.
    It could as well have been any other brand.
    And i bet it could have been a better o/cer.
    The only thing i HIGHLY recommend msi gards, is their EXCELLENT bundle.
    Mine came with 15 cds(!!!) :  DOOM 3, XIII, URU, Prince of Persia and many more.

  • Will Graphics Card Help Aperture on Mac Pro?

    I've been using Aperture for many years on a variety of Mac hardware. I have 5 or 6 image libraries, ranging in size from 50gb to 250gb. I have no referenced images, do not use "faces" or other CPU-intensive features, and often perform tasks which reportedly improve Aperture performance (deleting caches, repairing/rebuilding libraries, defragging hard drives. deleting prefs). While these tricks often result in a snappy experience on relaunch, Aperture returns to its sluggish ways after a few minutes of work.
    My workflow is very simple -- I plug in my camera, download photos to the HD, and then edit them, which consists of adjustments such as exposure, white balance, sharpening, rotating, cropping. I don't do much retouching, red eye, or other fancy editing. Occasionally I use the "external" edit feature to retouch in Photoshop. I shot for many years with a Canon Rebel, 14MP I believe, and recently got a Nikon D800. I am finding the performance going through D800 raw files (not even editing, just flipping through them) unacceptable. For example, if I go to hybrid list/preview view, and press the "down" key 10 or 15 times, by the 5th image, there is a very noticeable lag, and often the display beachballs for 10 seconds or more before it gets to the bottom of the list. Basic tasks such as cropping or rotating often lock the display for long periods of time.
    For many years, I blamed Aperture's awful performance on my hardware. I worked on a series of Mac laptops. Although I usually had the latest hardware, they were no desktop. Recently, I bought a Mac Pro with a 3.2GHz Quad-Core Xeon processor, 16GB of ram, an OWC SSD (for the system -- the libraries are on a 7200RPM drive), and a ATI Radeon HD 5770 graphics card. I was dismayed to find out that Aperture is STILL unbearably slow. If I can't simply flip through some photos on a top of the line Mac Pro, what is this program good for?
    My question now is, would I see a significant performance gain if I were to upgrade yet again to a faster graphics card, such as the Radeon 7950? I've been reading up on these cards, and it seems like native support is coming in 10.8.3. While I hesitate to pour more money into my quest for a useable Aperture system, I wonder if this would finally show some significant performance gains. I've read conflicting reports from other users who've upgraded the graphics card. Is the advantage mainly for 3D or gaming applications or would this help Aperture too?
    Thanks in advance for any replies!

    In the past Aperture has been very GPU-dependent. The very best G5 tower would bog on Aperture unless the stock GPU card had been upgraded. I expect current Aperture also to benefit from a stronger GPU but I do not have absolute info on that. And your existing 5770 is not a lame card.
    I know 16 GB RAM seems like a lot, but with D800 files and an Aperture/Photoshop workflow you may still be paging out to disk. My Aperture/Photoshop workflow paged out at 8 GB RAM with files 1/3 the size of the D800 files.
    You should evaluate whether or not you have adequate RAM:
    Look at the Page Outs number under System Memory on the Activity Monitor app before starting a typical Aperture/Photoshop work session and write the number down. Recheck the Page Outs count after working for a few hours and write the number down again. If the page outs change (manual calculation of ending page outs number minus starting page outs number) is not zero your workflow is RAM-starved.
    Ignore the pie charts and other info in Activity Monitor because they are often misleading regarding RAM usage. For RAM analysis, count page outs.
    If your test shows that page outs increase at all during operation you should add RAM. RAM is dirt cheap and use of additional RAM a very desirable characteristic for an Aperture/Photoshop workflow. If it was me I would double to 32 GB RAM and set PS (PS Preferences/Performance/Memory) to use 16 GB of RAM.
    Hard drives slow as they fill so make sure none of your hard drives are overfilled. I suggest 70% full as an arbitrary maximum but even less full is preferable for speed. If your Library drive exceeds 60% full I suggest setting a RAID 0 array on two or more identical drives to get extra capacity and speed. Of course pay careful attention to frequent Library backup.
    Some apps like browsers are notorious for "leaking" memory so when doing serious images work keep non-essential applications closed. A SSD drive for boot helps because when apps open in just 3 seconds there is no reason to keep extraneous apps open.
    HTH
    -Allen
    P.S. I strongly recommend that original images be fully backed up before importing into Aperture or any other images management application.
    P.P.S. Makhe sure you have a properly set PS Scratch Disk assigned on a fast underfilled drive, and empty the scratch disk routinely.

  • Will this card fit in my G5?!?

    My original video card died - I am looking to buy a Radeon 9000 Pro Mac Edition ADC/DVI card w/128MB. Will this fit/work in my original dual 2.0 G5 AGP?
    HELP!
    //dennis

    Hi-
    The 9000 is 2x/4x AGP compatible as far as I know. I don't recall it being 8x AGP compatible.
    Your G5 is 8x AGP.

  • I have AG3-605-UR1G will this card fit in it?

    GTX 750Ti SC 2GB If not what decent card will work?I have 500w PSU

    What it means is that the CPU runs at 3.3GHz, when you put the system under load (gaming, loading applications etc..) it can boost up to 3.7GHz. This creates more heat and the CPU is designed to balance the extra speed and performance with safety of making sure there isn't to much heat and ensuring the longevity of the CPU.
    Someone a little more knowledgeable about CPUs might be able to tell you if it's possible to push the CPU to stay at 3.7, but it probably isn't just as easy as turning on a setting in your PC.

  • Official list of supported graphics cards for HP IPISB-CH2 motherboard

    Hi,
    Is there any official list of supported graphics cards for HP motherboards (specifically HP IPISB-CH2 (Chicago))?
    I've been trying to upgrade my graphics for MSI GTX 960, but found out the MB's BIOS (v. 7.12) is incompatible and there's no BIOS upgrade available that would solve this problem. I have returned the 960 and wanted to try the GTX 660, but a few people told me they've also been having BIOS compatibility issues with this one.
    The only info I found was that the MB "Supports PCI Express x16 graphics cards" (source: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c02854392 ) - which is a very insufficient description (as the GTX 960 meets it and doesn't work anyway).

    Hi,
    There are three versions of the motherboard, in the official web site  can see that detail parts, desktops using IPISB-CH2 (Chicago) from factory, and video cards are installed on them.
    Another thing to keep in mind is that if the graph is more powerful requiring a power of more watts.
    Examples:

  • Need THIN CS5 graphic card.

    I would like a THIN graphic card that is Premiere CS5 compatible and takes advantage of CS5 acceleration functions.  I can not use a thick graphic card because my motherboard's PCI slots are too close to the PCI Express slots.  That rules out any Quadro type cards as well as the GeForce GTX 285.  
    Motherboard:  ASUS P6X58D-E
    What do youthink about these cards?
    GT 120
    GT 8800
    Is there a solution to the problem?
    Does Quadro FX 3800 fit the bill?  It appears to have only one monitor output.  I work in dual monitor.

  • Graphics card fitment?

    Hello, 
    As the gaming community should know, Battlefield 3 is coming out very soon. I tried to download the demo and couldnt play it due to a lower version of a graphics card that isnt met by the requirements for the game. I was wondering which Geforce or ATI, etc. graphics card fit onto my mother board. I have a Hp Pavilion d5000t desktop, Windows Vista Home Premium, Intel(R) Core(TM) 2Quad CPU Q9450 @ 2.66GHz. 6GB RAM and currently an NVIDIA GeForce 9800GT. I was wondering which upper class graphics card can fit into my computer and one that doesnt cost more then $200. Thank you and your help will be greatly appreciated!

    Hey - the d5000t - my favorite Pavilion Chassis...
    wide open and ready to be upgraded...
    A couple of links first - cause if you plan on opening it up and upgrading a graphics card you'll want to have these:

    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01357064&tmp_task=prodinfoCategory&cc=us&dlc=en...
    for video card expansion:
    Expansion Slots
    One PCI Express x16
    Four PCI Express x1
    Two PCI
    Your power supply if you still have the one installed is a 460W, you may think about upgrading to a larger one if you get any video card over about 95W range.
    But if you don't ahve anything in the PCIe X1 slot next to the the x16 slot you could get a double wide card and it will fit just fine. But again think about upgrading to a 600W power supply if you go big.
    personally I like the NVidia GTX580 runs pretty well for me.
    good luck and have fun!

  • [MSI P35 Platinum] Graphics Card Slot

    Hello,
    I just bought the MSI 560 GTX graphics card. My motherboard is MSI P35 Platinum so i was wondering if i can place the graphics card in the 2nd PCI-E slot or this could occure problems. This is my motherboard:
    so my question is: can i put the graphics card in the YELLOW slot? Cause it won't fit in the upper PCI... Thanks  

    Quote from: Jack on 03-September-11, 19:12:09
    Why doesn't it fit?  It should fit without problems.
    Because of the I/O controller (i think this is it...)
    Quote from: Jack on 03-September-11, 19:12:09
    You can do that, however, in that slot, the video card will only get x4 lanes assigned to it (instead of x16 lanes in the primary PCI-Express slot).
    And what difference does this make?

  • Upgrade Graphics card in MacBook Pro 15" 2.2GHz Early 2011

    Hi,
    I'm new to the forums so please don't comment saying that this has already been posted.
    Anyway, I Have a MacBook Pro 15" 2.2GHz Early 2011 and would like to play games using Dolphin. I have been using Dolphin for about 3 months but I have to scale my resolution down to 720p for it to run smoothly. So I was wondering if I could upgrade my graphics card to something that could support this on a 1440 by 900 or at least a 1280 by 800.
    Edit: Due do other answers, I now realise that it is not possible to change the graphics card but is there any other way of making it fast enough.
            Thanks again.
    Thanks in advance,

    Hi Aaron, Two kinds of people in the world, Tool users and tool builders. In this case, the prior responses to the question presume to know you, they are in a context that stereotype the entire reading audience as only able to consume a shrink wrapped utter non tech end user answer.
    Responses fail to ask before they answer follow up questions. They fail to set any boundaries of what you or the audience would consider acceptable and worse pass off (with scorn for your asking it) your question as either foolish or as factually materially not technologically possible.
    When in reality, it’s just is not your question which is in error, it appears to be the experience of or the presuming of the posters which have limited the material factual discussion of options.
    No one asked you if your goal was to get it done with a technicians help or to purchase a completed finished end user installable bits and make it work yourself. No one asked if you had some, none, extensive or access to technicians who do soldering.
    The three respondent’s are likely correct in guessing, most people (in general) can't go buy and solder if their lives depended on it.  However what the posters did, almost appears intended to confuse or conflate the experience with soldering with it with not being possible, rational, reasonable or desirable.
    I don’t know you or the other posters, but I value the question and you more than to dismiss it by answering conveniently based on my assumptions about you.
    So out of the box thinking is required, to counter the dismissive one liners .."its soldered in, suck it up and buy new".
    Please consider http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technological_evolution
    Soldering irons have been around for over 4,000 years. Up until the late 1800s they were all heated by open flame or burning coals.
    1894
    The American Electrical Heater Company of Detroit Michigan begins manufacturing electric soldering irons. Shortly after the American Beauty® line of soldering irons appears.
    1921
    Ernst Sachs (Germany) claims to have developed the first electric soldering iron for industry (see note below) and ERSA begins commercial production of a 200 watt electric soldering iron.  [More Details]
    Note: I have found an advertisement from 1898 in an issue of "The Electrical Engineer" Vol. XXIV showing a drawing and description of the American Electrical Heater Company's electric soldering iron which pre dates Ernst Sachs electric soldering iron by 23 years.
    1926
    In December of 1926 William Alferink files for a U.S. patent for a "Combined Holder and Automatic Circuit Breaker for Electric Soldering Irons" (first soldering station?). On July third, 1928 the patent is granted.
    1946
    Carl E. Weller is granted a patent for his instant heat soldering gun and starts production as the Weller Manufacturing Company in Easton Pennsylvania where he manufactures the first "Speedy Iron" instant heat soldering gun.
    1949
    The American Beauty "Temperature Regulating Stands" are sold to control the temperature of electric soldering irons.
    1951
    WEN Products is founded and manufacturers their own instant heat soldering iron.
    1954
    Weller sues WEN Products over soldering gun patent infringement.
    Court finds in Weller's favor. [More Details]
    1960
    Weller is granted a patent for the "Magnastat" soldering iron which controls the iron's temperature through the use of a temperature sensitive magnetic tip.
    1967
    Weller begins manufacturing it's W-TCP soldering station with a "Magnastat" iron.
    1970
    Weller Manufacturing Company is sold to Cooper Industries.
    Reference: http://www.stevenjohnson.com/soldering/history.htm
    So the actual fundamental concern is not soldering, soldering has been around for a while, finding a technician is not the issue. Then the issue would seem to me to be, "will a card fit"?
    If the card fits, it can be soldered in. That’s the bottom line. An expert might take an hour to solder it, An expert might charge $90 - $250 an hour. A person with more than a little experience will appear as an expert to you. Ask for and check references, BBB to reduce your learning curve. Establish a maximum price, Establish criteria with your expert that make it acceptable to agree in advance in writing to only pay a fixed max amount on successful completion.
    Does anyone have a reference of it being done?
    Does anyone know a contact company that would take the job?
    Does anyone know specific parts (have a URL?) that should or are known to work?
    Milestones
    – Feasibility confirmation
    – Locate engineering soldering expertise
    – Return here and post your experience.
    Notes:
    If Apple had Nvidia reduce or reshape the display card specifically to fit the MacBook Pro you’re out of luck however if the MBP card was not customized by Apple then any modern mobile Nvidia board may work if you can find a tech to solder it in.
    If Apple changed the already small mobile card form to custom fit the MBP then you’re going to have no luck.
      Glad to clear that up for everyone with some material relevant facts for the adults
