HDMI connection from PC Video Card?
I'm planning on buying hp m9500t series with a video card with hdmi connection. If i connect it to the hdtv, will i get sound from it or do i need another connection for the sound? My purpose for this is i want a multimedia pc so i can watch movies and play games using my hdtv.|||Depending on the graphics card you have, there might be an input on the card itself for audio. That is the only way that you'll be able to get audio out of the HDMI cable. If there's not input, then you'll only transmit the video.|||Yes, a video card with HDMI outs will be able to transmit sound. Just make sure the graphics card comes with a SPDIF wire, which is the wire that connects your graphics card with you motherboard. It's usually a red and black intertwined wire. You will not need any other connections other than these, and of course, the HDMI wire.|||The HDMI connection will transfer both audio and video

Video card for older Dell Dimension, Windows 7, MCE?
I'm looking to get an older Dell Dimension 4600 pc I have to be a media center for a televeision that is HDTV but the only inputs I have are component, s-video, coax, and rca's. No vga or hdmi. I have a video card that Windows 7 see's and is using, but it has only vga, and dvi out. I bought a vga to component cable, but it has done me no good. I have no idea why. It displays nothing when connected to the tv. Can anyone give me some idea what i should / could do to get the display to the tv. I'm not interested in spending $100 on a video card to put into a 5 year old pc. Thanks!!|||You should have this if you have DVI out on the PC. You may need the latest video drivers for you computer. Make sure you get the complete drivers set which includes all the options to configure the output to your TV. Set the TV as screen 2 so you can see both outputs in the videocard driver software on your PC monitor at the same time.. VGA to your PC monitor and DVI to your TV.

For PC customization, two cheaper video cards (5770, 5750) or one better one (5850)?
Hello there.
I'm trying to build a very nice PC, and I'm in a bit of a conundrum.
Should I get a regular PC configuration, with one video card, the Radeon HD 5850 (which, supposedly, is better than even the nVidia GTX 465, even though the 465 is listed higher at videocardbenchmark.net), or get a Crossfire type of configuration, with two Radeon HD 5770s (that would cost a bit more) or with two 5750s (that would cost exactly as much as the 5850)? (Money is a bit of a factor, too.)
I understand that:
5850 - has core clock of 725 MHz, 1 GB of memory, and 256-bit memory interface
5770 - has core clock of 850 MHz, 1 GB of memory, and 128-bit memory interface
5750 - has core clock of 700 MHz, 1 GB of memory, and 128-bit memory interface, but also 2-DVI, unlike the 5770.
It would be very nice to have 2 GB of video memory, and two GPUs working in tandem, but I'm still not sure whether it's an upgrade over just the one, better video card. Is it?
I also am not 100% sure what kind of motherboard I should get for the Crossfire option, if I decide to go with that. (But I know I wouldn't like to pay more than 150 dollars for just the mobo. And it has to be able of full HDMI, of course; otherwise what's the point, right?)
Oh, and having two GPUs... would that need some extra cooling in the computer case, too, in addition to what I would need for just one video card?
Could the expert(s) who are kind enough to reply also, please, support the argument with a little bit of extra proof or insight? Thank you very, very much.|||ok first yes a single card is quieter. and i suppose easier (plug 1 card in instead of two)
but in terms of performance i have no idea what this guy is talking about.
two 5770's can outperform a 5850. and is most cases a 5870 as well
take a look at these benchmarks.

http://www.tomshardware.com/charts/2010-…
as for the cooling yes crossfire runs a bit hotter than s single card. you can just buy a 8$ side fan for your case and that should keep them good enough. 5770's are made to run hot and are fine up to 90C.
also no the scaling for Ati Crossfire is not bad. it used to be bad with the older drivers but with the newer drivers its become very good.
5770's cost around 150$.(newegg.com) so a pair would cost 300$ while yes thats a bit more than a 465 or a 5850 if they can outperform a 5870 then im sure they can outperform a 465 by miles.
also dont worry about weather the game will support crossfire or not. the only games that dont are REALLY old games (like 90's and early 2000's) which the requirements are so low that they dont even require dual 5770's
all modern games support crossfire and Sli.
as for the motherboard im sure you can easily find one under 150$ i got my Msi790xt-g45 for 90$ on newegg. full crossfire support. just look around on newegg for a board that supports your parts. good luck and have fun!|||okay start like this
nvidias GTX 460 is same/faster then a 5850
so a 465 is better
as for dual graphic cards
first of all ATI cards (crossfire) scale alot worse then nvidia cards (SLI) it does work ofc (i got dual 4890's in CrossfireX) but not even close to as good as nvidia graphic cards in SLI
5770 can mby be faster then a 5850 IF the game is very well made for SLI/crossfire, thats the problem ,it wont work on all games and ushally aint painless to get it to work either.
if you have 2 GPU's well extra cooling aint much to do, depends on what mobo you get, i got mine very close (just 3mm space :S) my cards run at 60-70C (top card) and 45-55C (lower card)
thu i do have a fan on the side of my case that helps :D donno how much thu
to make it easy
singel card is easier and probably more quiet
465 > 5850 (not arrow, its a mouth, always points to the bigger/better one)
5850 > 5770x2
anything > 5750

How do I connect a WinXPro PC to my HDMI Panasonic TH50PX50U HDTV Plsma for the best pic? (No DVI conn)?
I have a new Panasonic TH50PX50U HDTV Plasma TV. The TV has several HDMI connections to use, but no DVI connection. I want to get a new computer to run video and music applications from the TV. I've got a great sound card so everything on the audio end is perfect. The video end isn't so good, I did a little test with my current computer and I had a very negative result.
The test consisted of an old Compaq 900MHZ 512RAM PIII computer and just running ITUNES and then just something over media player. I went out and purchased a Stealth S85 RADEON 9250 128MB PCI Video Card with a DVI connection and a DVI to HDMI conversion cord. The picture was REALLY bad, stretched, and blurry.Then I tried using the standard RCA ports and the picture was even worse.I'll buy the best processor out there right now so I'm not really worried about the engine for the PC but what is the best video card to use to connect to this HDMI based TV. Is anybody else doing this with an HDMI plasma TV? Ideas?|||Well, I have heard that it can be pretty difficult to connect a computer to a Television, especially a Big screen. I don't really thin you can. But what you can do, is get that "Rogers on Demand internet" which you don't even need a monitor, you can use it straight out of the box, with internet, wireless keyboard, mouse. You will have difficulty connecting your regular PC to your Television. Hope this helped, good luck.|||I think you're missing a piece of equipment, but don't quote me. You may need a TV Tuner card in the PC - even if you don't want to watch TV on the PC, it may act as your connection back to the plasma TV so you can "see" your computer screen there. Also there may a resolution issue. Have you checked Panasonic's website for any information regarding this or have you tried their tech support for an answer? I know it's totally do-able, I've seen it done before. There may be a card that goes into the actual plasma screen that makes it so you can plug your PC into it.

Will 2 Video Card Help Improve Gaming for PC?
Hi my computer for some reason seems to be very slow when running certain games. Here are the spec on my PC
GIGABYTE GA-E7AUM-DS2H nvidia geforce 9400 chipset micro ATX form factor 1xPCI-E(x16)/1xPCI-E(x1)/2xpci/4xddr2 w/integrated vga,sata2 raid,lan(gb),hdmi,1394,usb 2.0 & audio (cpu type:intel - socket 775)
CORE 2 DUO E8500 3.16G (1333Mhz)
KINGSTON 4GB DDR2 800
OS: Window Vista x64 SP1
For example the Chronicle of Riddick AODA
Recommended System Requirement:
1. Microsoft Windows XP SP2, Vista Operating System
2. ATI Radeon HD 3850 or NVIDIA GeForce 8800GT or better
3. Intel Core2 Duo 1.8GHz or AMD Athlon X2 +5200
4. 2 GB of available system memory
5. 11 GB of available of hard drive space
6. DirectX 9.0c compatible Sound Card
7. Keyboard, mouse or dual-analog gamepad
8. Multiplayer support using LAN with TCP/IP protocol or established internet connection (DSL or cable required)
9. Internet connection required for first-time authentication (connection not required after authentication)
It looks to me that my computer meets the requirement, but for some reason can't run it at high speed. I hope someone can help me figure out what's wrong. Also, my motherboard supports 2 video card. Would this help my gaming as well? Hope someone can help me out.
Thanks.|||May want to get a 9800GT. It's cheap and will destroy what you have now.|||8800GT is loike 100x better then a 9400 nviida.
you need to buy a 9600GT or a 8800GT or a GT200 version
or Ati 4800's series|||No it will make it worse|||upgrading it would help|||I'm afraid the 8800GT is a far better card than the 9400 you're using. The first number signifies the series, but the second number signifies the quality of the card within the series. In addition, the GeForce 9 series is, for the most part, simply a rebrand of the 8 series. There are few significant differences between the two. So the 8800GT is virtually identical in performance to the 9800GT. Your 9400 is several steps below the 8800GT called for in the recommended system requirements.
Your motherboard doesn't support SLI or CrossFire (only a single PCIEx16 slot), so that isn't an option. In any event, you must use similar cards for dual card solutions, so you wouldn't be able to match the performance of a single superior card like the 8800GT.
The best option for you is to upgrade to a better card. You need a 9800GT to handle this game, which means you'll need to spend around 75-100$ minimum. The best card currently available in that price range is the Radeon HD4850 (which is NOT simply a rebrand of the 3850, but is far better performance-wise!). You can find this card for as low as 95$ on newegg.com at the moment (although you just missed a sale that had the Sapphire HD4850 for 86$!).
Performance-wise, the HD4850 is a step above the 9800GT. So it should handle your games very well. Certainly much better than the 9400!|||Well, it says you have a video chipset, as opposed to an actual card.
I'm not sure, but you might be able to run with combined card/chipset (you only have 1 PCI-Ex16, which is what you'd want to use for graphics). Maybe you could run it with 2 GPUs in normal PCI, but that might end up being worse.
Normal PCI slots share memory and attention from your processor, while PCI-Express slots all run independently. The more PCI cards you have installed, the worse they'll perform.
Also, chipsets drain from your processor power and available ram, so I'd recommend getting a card. You can get a pretty good card for probably $85 that would work just fine.|||First, you are incorrect, you do not meet the recommended minimum system. You do not have an 8800GT or better graphics card -- in fact, you have no graphics card at all. (Or if you do, you didn't say so.)
You may be thinking the 9400 is "better" than the 8800GT because the number is higher -- not so. (And even if it was 'better' in some sense, having a chipset that's better than the recommended minimum graphics card won't help you. I have a car that's better than an 8800GT but it won't help me play Chronicles of Riddick. You need a graphics solution that's equal to superior in performance to an 8800GT graphics card. The 9400's graphics are vastly inferior.)
Also, your motherboard does not support two video cards. It only has one PCI-e x16 slot. So where would you put the second video card?
I would recommend getting and using one good video card.

Installed graphics card and using HDMI cable for video but now have little audio?
i have a nvidia geforce 9800 gt graphics card i installed with two dvi ports but i am using a converter for my monitor so now i use a HDMI cable to connect it to my monitor. i have a audio jack cable male to male that goes from my monitor to my PC so i can get sound threw the monitor but now that i have the card in i get very little sound even if my sound is at max.
any ideas?|||Try using the build in sound on your computer and not on you graphics card maybe?

HP Pavilion p6710f and XFX ATI Radeon HD5830 1 GB DDR5 2DVI/HDMI/DisplayPort PCI-Express Video Card HD583XZAFC?
So I bought an HP Pavilion p6710f and I am having trouble playing The Witcher 2 on it. Can I buy a XFX ATI Radeon HD5830 1 GB DDR5 2DVI/HDMI/DisplayPort PCI-Express Video Card HD583XZAFC for it and install it to my HP PC to help the game run? Will it work? Can it be done? I just dont want to buy it and it doesnt work or isnt compatible with my PC. Anyone with any knowledge of this please let me know, thank you.|||Your motherboard has a PCI-E slot for it, so the video card is compatible with the motherboard.
The second thing that can cause problems is the power supply. The HD5830 requires a PSU that has an output of around 400 to 500W. Assuming that the PC is pre-built, it will most likely not have a sufficient PSU to run the HD5830 (you can open up your computer case and check the side of the PSU to obtain the power output). If so, you will either need to upgrade the PSU or go for a video card that consumes less power (I would recommend going for a HD4670 if you are going for a video card that consumes very little power).
I hope this helps!|||theres three things u need to know - anogh ram good processor speed and good enough video memory

How do I tell which HDMI video card I need?
I need to get a HDMI video card for my pc. I have been told that I need to make sure I get the correct one to fit my computer. I do not know what I am looking for. My computer has the following expansion slots:
PCI Bus(es) on Hub 1
Version : 2.30

Can anyone explain what I need to look for in a video card to ensure it fits my computer, and which of the above slots should I connect it to?|||Okay you have pci express slots which mean you can get just about any pci express video card. Which can range anywhere from 50 to 700 dollars depending on the card. Go to newegg.com. You can look up video cards by your computer model, your expansion slot type (agp, pci, pciexpress).
From there it is just researching what you need and what your system can handle as it is now. If you have a computer from dell or gateway they usually come with small power supplies. If you are getting a High end card then you will need to check on your power supply. Newegg.com also has a calculator that will show you what will fit in your system as it is right now. If you are looking to play the newest games you have the pciexpress expansion slots which are the newest and most modern expansion slots. Provided you have a good proccessor and power supply you can put just about any card in that computer. If you are looking for the fastest most powerful you will spend quite a lot for it. If you are just looking for something to upgrade to HDMI output and watch some videos then you may not need the power of a pciexpress card as they make pci cards that can do that. BUT good luck getting any game to run on a pci card.
I would recommend this card
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as…
It is a nice card with decent specs a hdmi slot as well as a nice price point. This is a middle of the road card. Which means if you want to play the latest games you're not going to be playing them on high detail. But they will have very good video playback.|||You have a PCIe slot -- which means most video cards nowadays should fit into your computer.
The PCI-E 16x slot is for video cards -- you should have one that resembles this:
http://linuxtidbits.files.wordpress.com/…
It is the longest slot out of all the PCIE slots in your motherboard.
Depending on what you plan to use it on, your choices might range from the basic sub $60 video card (so you can use a high resolution monitor) to a more powerful $300 card (gaming at high resolutions).
Go on Newegg and have a look through the video cards. I recommend something from the Radeon 4xxx series or Geforce 200 series if you need something basic.|||hi chris
yes you should have no problems fitting a pci-express x16 graphic card in your pc...any pci-express x16 card will be fine however you also need to check you have a good enough power supply for the card you buy
the expansion slot marked "PCI1 (2h) : PCIe 32-bit +5V PME Full-Length Available" indicates your system will support a pci-express x16 card
you also have a smaller pci-express x1 slot which is used for some soundcards and network interface cards(nics)
when looking for a card pay special attention to the following specs
core clock : speed of the gpu or graphics processing unit....the faster the better(pref over 600mhz)
memory clock : speed of the cards memory ( look at over 1000mhz ddr effective )
memory buffer : size of the memory...go for over 512mb of memory
memory bit interface : width of the memory bus,,,at least 128bit however go for 256bit if possible
memory bandwidth : indicates the overall performance of a card...over 50gb/sec go for
i hope this helps....any problems let me know
good luck chris and happy xmas !

Would a NVIDIA® GeForce® 6150SE integrated card work well for streaming video to a LCD TV?
I have an emachines PC that has this video card integrated on the pc. I want to start streaming to my LCD TV using some sort of VGA signal splitter to the HDMI port on my TV. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks...|||You should check out satellite direct on mac.|||Well more things come into play when doing this like lcd size and screen resloution. how much memore does the built in card have and what not but wince its a 6150 I'd say it would work fine as long as you like how the video plays on the tv.
Btw I love nvidia cards if its bang for the buck i suggest going to tigerdirect.com and getting a nvidia 9800 card they work great.|||I would say that you will not get a good result if you use the integrated graphics from the eMachine to your LCD TV. I would recommend a video card the either has a HDMI port or DVI port (you can get a DVI to HDMI cable) and connect it to the LCD TV.

I already added two more gigs of RAM to this desk top. I would now like to upgrade the video graphics card. I done want anything to crazy, just enough to play videos, or even connect to my led TV with an HDMI connection. Oh and can you add an HDMI port to a PC with a video video Graphics card?

It's got a half-height PCI-E x16 slot and a 220W power supply. If you just want something to play HD video and provide HDMI connectivity, then a low-profile Radeon HD 6450 is your best choice:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as…
Even the Radeon HD 5450 would work, but it's a bit slower and can't handle Blu-Ray playback as smoothly as the 6450.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as…
So for $5 more, the 6450 is a better pick. Both cards run fine in slimline computers with 220W power supplies.
http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/rade…|||ask 6th sense|||hi henry
there are two limiting factors which will determine what graphics card you can use... the first of these is the 220w power supply that comes with your hp s5603w ... however there are some entry level cards that will work with just a 220w psu... for example a geforce 8400gs supports purevideo and purevideo HD and will work fine with a 220w psu...
the second is your case size which means you need to buy a card thats "low profile" which in laymans terms means the cards bracket is half length and will fit in small form factor cases like yours...
as long as you consider these before buying a card you should have no problems.... so taking these in consideration and the tasks you want the card for (eg watching video,s / less demanding games ) then heres a few cards that will fit the bill
the first of these is the "Palit Graphics Card GeForce 8400GS 256MB PCI-E VGA DVI-I "( http://www.microdirect.co.uk/Home/Produc… ) .. this is a entry level nvidia based card thats specificly designed for media centers ... it supports features that assist in watching dvd,s and movies and these include purevideo/purevideo HD and the card also supports a low profile bracket .... gaming terms this isnt that good however thats not a requirement in your case ... allthough it will run less demanding games
the second card i recommend is the "Sapphire HD 6450 512MB GDDR3 "( http://www.microdirect.co.uk/Home/Produc… ) ... this again is a entry level card but this time from AMD... and it is also designed for media center pc,s and features the ati based movie streaming feature called "avivo" ... this will allow you to play movies though the card via the HDMI port on to your large screen tv..... and it also comes with a adapter if your display has no hdmi port
this is also not designed for gaming but again it will run older games and less demanding modern games....
the great thing about both these cards is their low power requirements... they will both work fine with your 220w psu.... and both require no additional power connectors such a 6pin pci-e connectors....
basically all you need to do is open your case .. then insert the card.... then once windows has loaded download the latest drivers from the appropriate website ..... nvidia drivers can be downloaded from http://www.nvidia.co.uk/Download/index.a… . and ati/amd drivers can be downloaded from http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/Pa…
once you have downloaded the correct driver for your card you simply install these and after anothe restart your good to go.... you can then enter the nvidia control panel( catylyst control center for ati/amd cards ) and change the options to suit your needs... however the drivers will automatically change the resolution to the native resolution for your particular monitor ( eg .. 19" monitors have a 1440x900 native resolution )
there are more powerful low profile cards avalible but your limited by your 220w psu... but for what you require either of the above cards will be fine..... personally i would go with the ati radeon HD6450 .. slightly newer card and has better media based features ( better for watching movies )
i hope this helps henry... any questions let me know

I need an old video card for an old PC that is PCI (not PCIe) that also has HDMI.?
Does anyone have a PCI card that has HDMI? I want to use it to play divx movies on the TV via an older HP desktop. No gaming just movie watching. I opened up the thing and the AGP slot is missing, I can clearly see where it used to be (if it was there at all). Before I get this card does anyone have any experience with PCI and HDMI and what issues I could encounter do what I want to do with it? I am also open to any alternatives, the PC has firewire and USB 2.0 would one of those work better with an adapter just for HDMI instead of a video card?

To play Blu Ray on Media Centre PC, does the motherboard have to be HDCP compliant as well as the video card?
I'm upgrading an old SFF GX280 2.8Ghz Dell PC. It's a modest machine, but I want to add a low profile HDCP compliant graphics card. I am seriously considering the 3450, more specifically, the HIS-HD3450-D2LP which offers: PCI-E 256MB 64-bit DDR2, Dual Link DVI, TV Out, HDTV, HDMI, Superscalar unified shader architecture, 40 stream processing units, 64-bit memory interface , DirectX® 10.1 / Shader Model 4.1 support, PCI Express® 2.0 support, ATI CrossFireX multi-GPU support for highly scalable performance, High-speed 128-bit HDR (High Dynamic Range) rendering, Up to 24x Custom Filter Anti-Aliasing, ATI Avivo HD video and display technology, Built-in HDMI and 5.1 surround audio, Support for the ATI Radeon DVI to HDMI adapter, Unified Video Decoder (UVD) for Blu-ray and HD DVD, ATI PowerPlay energy conserving technology (Include 2 Single Slot Low Profile Bracket).
The go-price is around $50. The power requirements for this model are listed as higher than what my Dell SFF is rated at (only about 130w, but a lot of forum discussions seem to hint that the Dell machines are often underrated). Also, according to a PC Authority review this model graphics card has 'ATi PowerPlay' which apparently keeps power consumption to a minimum by shutting down portions of the card that aren't being used, so I'm willing to take that risk (unless someone out there has tried what I'm about to and has failed - by all means, let me know).
BUT, my core question is regarding Blu Ray playback. Even if I get this bargain graphics card, is my old Dell SFF motherboard going to let the team down?|||well to play Blu Ray you need an HDCP ready graphics card which im assuming your 3450 is, if not there are 8500/8600 nvidia cards that are, a HDCP ready monitor which can be costly, a Blu Ray player, and software that can play Blu Ray video's like PowerDVD 8 Ultra or WinDVD 9 Plus, so your motherboard as long as it has a blu ray drive installed and has a HDCP video card with an HDCP monitor, will be able to play Blu Ray

Good graphics card for my PC?
Hi,
I am looking for a good graphics card from Amazon, I am looking a good following:
-Low Profile
-ATI Radeon HD 4350
-Less than $60
-512MB Video Memory
-with HDMI
One Question......I don't know about 128bit or 64bit types of video card, which one consumes less Wattage of power supply. I need this for my 2009 version of HP slimline PC s5220y.
Thank you, I will give 5 star ratings for BEST FACTS.
Adrian|||before buying any graphics card check that it will fit inside the case
most of the slimline computers DO NOT have the room to add extra cards to them.
"The good: Decent light-duty performance, compact size.
The bad: Slim tower case conserves space but offers little room for expansion; limited connectivity options.
The bottom line: The HP Pavilion Slimline s5220y provides adequate performance for light-duty media editing and entertainment, but its slim tower case leaves little room for future upgrades, leading us to recommend the older Gateway SX2800-01 that offers more features and better components."

I am looking for a good graphics card from Amazon, I am looking a good following:
-Low Profile
-ATI Radeon HD 4350
-Less than $60
-512MB Video Memory
-with HDMI
One Question......I don't know about 128bit or 64bit types of video card, which one consumes less Wattage of power supply. I need this for my 2009 version of HP slimline PC s5220y.
Thank you, I will give 5 star ratings for BEST FACTS.
Adrian|||before buying any graphics card check that it will fit inside the case
most of the slimline computers DO NOT have the room to add extra cards to them.

What video card is right for me?
I own a Dell Inspiron 153s with a M2N61-AX OEM motherboard made by ASUS and uses nVidia GeForce 6150 integrated graphics with the nForce 430i chipset, and has two PCI slots, one PCI-e X1 and one PCI-e X16 1.0a slot. Honestly I don't understand a word of this but I recently got a LCD HDTV and wanted to upgrade my PC to use HDMI so I decided to get a video card with a HDMI port however I know nothing about them whatsoever. I am looking for the best video card for me to get but I don't want to exceed $40, what would you suggest?
Thank you in advance for you're time/help.|||The best you'll do is a Radeon 6450. They can be found for about $40 on Newegg.|||What exactly are you using this video card for?
$40 will get you a terrible video card, if you want a halfway decent one I would recommend spending around the $100 mark. And how big is your monitor?
EDIT: I don't know why I got thumbed down, if you plan on playing any games, or your monitor's resolution is too high, a $40 video card is not nearly enough.

Cheapest video card to get XBOX 360 quality gameplay on a PC?
I am building a PC for work/school primarily, but would also like to do some light gaming. I don't need anything high end because I would be happy if it was just comparable quality to just playing on the 360. I saw on someone else's very similar post earlier today that 360 quality gaming can be found on cards less than $50 and maybe even with onboard graphics.
My motherboard is the ASUS M4A88TD-V EVO/USB3 AM3 AMD 880G HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard (here: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as… )

Hi would this video card be ok for my computer? ?
My computer : P4 CPU 2.80 GHz , 4 gigs of ram, but really only 3327 mb of ram actually used. Windows Vista Home basic.
I dont really want to upgrade my computer yet, cause all i use it for is to play World of Warcraft. and Currently i have a Nvidia Geforce 6800 256mb (ddr1) i believe, but some reason i have to turn all my settings on LOW. and still only get about 10-20 FPS Mostly in the lower numbers. I saw this video card right here and everybody says its the best agp card. Would this video card be able to run settings atleast (MEDIUM) ?

Which video card should I buy for my desktop IBM Lennox PC to connect to my monitor and my 42" Samsung Plasma?
I am considering a VisionTek Radeon HD 3450 512 MB DDR2 HDMI w/ 5.1 surround video card. My PC has max output 310 (watts I believe). I want to run sound and video to my pc.

Which is the better Graphics Card for a (HTPC) Home Theater PC - ATI Radeon 5570HD or GeForce GT 430?
Hi to everyone and thanks in advance for taking the time to view and hopefully answer my question.
Ok I have almost finished building a basic PC to be used in our lounge as a Home Theater PC (HTPC), and the last piece of hardware I need is a Graphics card that can handle HD video and Blu Rays, nothing fancy it won't be used for any type of gaming, just surfing the web, downloading movies and play full HD videos.
The 2 cards I am looking at are low budget cards but they are both highly recommended for HTPC's and they are very similar in spec and price!
They are:
Asus GeForce GT 430 700MHz 1GB =
http://www.dabs.com/products/asus-geforc…
- and -
Asus ATI Radeon 5570 HD 1GB =
http://www.dabs.com/products/asus-ati-ra…
So my question is simple, which would you say is the better card for a HTPC??? Please let me know if your answer is based on reviews or if its based on your actual experience of using them.
Thanks everyone|||Nvidia GT430 is undoubtly the best Graphic Card. It very easily outperforms Ati 5570. I would certainly go with the GT430. I also have one and it performs exceptionally well. Go with it and enjoy your multimedia world. Its absolutely superb.|||Asus GeForce GT 430 700MHz 1 GB is the better Graphics Card for a (HTPC) Home Theater pc|||oh sorry I guess i didnt read the question right :P

Do I get a tv with pc connection or a monitor with hdmi connection for cable box?
I am interested in buying a tv that can double as a pc monitor but I have a question. If I connected a blu-ray player to 1 of the hdmi and another TV hdmi port to my computer's video card, would I be able to easily switch between the 2 inputs without problems? For instance, let's say I am using my computer and then I decided to run a virus scan. While it is running a virus scan, I switch to my blu-ray input channel to watch a movie while I wait for the scan to finish. In-between the movie, I switch back to PC briefly to check on progress. Does it sound like I can do that with a HDTV that has either hdmi or do I need to connect the pc to the tv's pc input (if it has one)? Should I be getting a PC monitor instead with a hdmi input?|||A TV with HDMI inputs will do just what you are looking for. You can either use the remote or the input button to switch between the PC and the Blu-Ray player. The only things to check on are be sure the TV has more than 1 HDMI input and that your computer either has HDMI output or DVI output (same signal as HDMI just different plug, adaptable with the right cable). With this setup you can also stream Netflix to the TV and watch HULU or Youtube videos in addition to the regular PC work.|||Do I get a tv with pc connection or a monitor with hdmi connection for cable box
My PC video card fan is making a lot of noise?
HI, i have a Dell Inspiron 454 and since i bought it two years ago, it's worked without any problems. I use the pc for web access and also for playing movies on vlc player through my tv via hdmi link.
Recently, the pc started making a loud grinding/clicking noise and i was concerned the HD was on it's last legs. I got some advice online and opened up the side of the tower (my warrantly ran out ages ago) and cleaned the entire thing as much as i could without actually removing any of the hardware. There was loads of dust so i figured it was a blockage causing the problem. This didn't fix the noise so i turned the pc on with the insides exposed and after gently slowing down the various fans i manged to confirm that the noise was the video card. It's a basic Nvidia GeForce 210 (i'll double check that when i get home) and the noise is predominantly the fan, but a little bit of noise from the actual board vibrating, but that's negligable. The fan is tiny but makes a heck of a noise!
I've cleaned the entire fan as much as i can with a cotton swab and turned the pc on again but the sound persists. Can anyone give me any pointers on what to do next?
Cheers|||Clean your PC. Air compress taht shiet ******|||If the fan is making noise, it's gone. It's easiest to just replace it. Look around on eBay/Amazon, or you can just take the fan into your local computer store and say "give me another one of these."|||first off clean your computer with these cans of pressurised air you can buy at most pc shops cleaning the fans of dust can help.
secondly greasing/oiling the fan up can help it spin smoother and therefore generate less noise.
thirdly some graphics cards with inbuilt fans have a program were you can adjust the speed this however will have an efect on the temperatures and noise will be lower
fourth buy a new fan it will probably work better, less noise there like $5 if you really hate the noise there are silent alternatives water cooling or perhaps just a large heatsink when you buy a fan most of them will tell you the amount of noise it generates so compare fans and see what sounds right for you somtimes fans can rattle screws or other parts you could try filling up the gaps with rubber cement to prevent them banging together.|||Take the video card out of the computer, spray some WD40 right into the fan (do it carefully, but do it so that the grease would get inside the rolling parts), then let it dry fully and install the card back again.

Look around on eBay/Amazon, or you can just take the fan into your local computer store and say "give me another one of these."|||first off clean your computer with these cans of pressurised air you can buy at most pc shops cleaning the fans of dust can help.
secondly greasing/oiling the fan up can help it spin smoother and therefore generate less noise.
thirdly some graphics cards with inbuilt fans have a program were you can adjust the speed this however will have an efect on the temperatures and noise will be lower
fourth buy a new fan it will probably work better, less noise there like $5 if you really hate the noise there are silent alternatives water cooling or perhaps just a large heatsink when you buy a fan most of them will tell you the amount of noise it generates so compare fans and see what sounds right for you somtimes fans can rattle screws or other parts you could try filling up the gaps with rubber cement to prevent them banging together.|||Take the video card out of the computer, spray some WD40 right into the fan (do it carefully, but do it so that the grease would get inside the rolling parts), then let it dry fully and install the card back again.
Does anyone know of a motherboard, PC, or graphics card that will output SOUND through an HDMI connector?
I am looking to build/buy an entertainment PC that will be connected to my HD TV. I am trying to find a motherboard/graphics card/PC that will output both the video AND the sound through an HDMI cable to the TV.
My TV does have an analogue VGA and 3.5mm audio jack input for a PC, but I would rather directly connect the digital video and audio streams through the HDMI.
Surely there must be something that does this? I read about an old PowerColor graphics card that you connected the output from your sound card to, this then outputted both audio and video streams to HDMI. Unfortunately these cards appear to be no longer available.
An Ideal solution would be a motherboard that outputted both streams directly through the HDMI. Does such a beast exist?
Please Help.
Pez|||yep!
go to newegg.com
type "HDMI" in the search box at the top of the screen.
after you get all the results, look at the left side, under advance search, select either "AMD motherboards" or "Intel motherboards" and search depending on which you want?

Oh and I just ordered an Acer H233H monitor it's 23 inch 1080p HD
I do plan on setting up crossfire (for the first time) and my only real requirements for a video card are at least on HDMI port, I'd like at least 1 GB per card preferably 256-bit. I don't plan on playing crysis but I'd like to play far cry 2 or arkham asylum with decent graphics. So basically I'd just like someone to point me in the right direction, I also want to be sure the cards are going to fit alright on that board. I'm using a Raidmax Aztec case so I have some room to work with. Any help would be greatly appreciated.|||Figure from the back of the chasis to the hard disk cage, you need 11 inches. That is the size of crossfire and SLI cards. 10-1/2 inches + 1/2 inch for a 12 volt 6 pin power connector. These are full height cards, not half height, so if you have a normal mid tower it should fit if you have the 11" space. You need one 12 volt 6 pin connector for EACH separate card to be crossfired or SLI'd.
The ATI HD 4890 card is really two GPU's in one card, thus it is like having Crossfire, only you have just one card in one single PCIe X 16 slot. The price is dropping on this card because ATI just released the Radeon HD 5870 card, but since you don't want the most expensive or the fastest or the highest grade card, the ATI HD 4890 would be more than sufficient for your needs. I consider the ATI HD 4890 to be a better card, and runs cooler, than the nVidia GTX 295, which is currently top of the line for nVidia. nVidia has not released a card yet that can compete with the ATI HD 5870 card, so for now the 5870 is the best there is in gaming cards. However, you would be smart to save money and get the ATI HD 4890. It will be more power than you need to run Crysis on HIGH or EXTREME level. So you sould be just fine with that card.

Good graphics card for my PC?
Hi,
I am looking for a good graphics card from Amazon, I am looking a good following:
-Low Profile
-ATI Radeon HD 4350
-Less than $60
-512MB Video Memory
-with HDMI
One Question......I don't know about 128bit or 64bit types of video card, which one consumes less Wattage of power supply. I need this for my 2009 version of HP slimline PC s5220y.
Thank you, I will give 5 star ratings for BEST FACTS.
Adrian|||before buying any graphics card check that it will fit inside the case
most of the slimline computers DO NOT have the room to add extra cards to them.
"The good: Decent light-duty performance, compact size.
The bad: Slim tower case conserves space but offers little room for expansion; limited connectivity options.
The bottom line: The HP Pavilion Slimline s5220y provides adequate performance for light-duty media editing and entertainment, but its slim tower case leaves little room for future upgrades, leading us to recommend the older Gateway SX2800-01 that offers more features and better components."

I have a video card that Windows 7 see's and is using, but it has only vga, and dvi out. I bought a vga to component cable, but it has done me no good. I have no idea why. It displays nothing when connected to the tv. Can anyone give me some idea what i should / could do to get the display to the tv. I'm not interested in spending $100 on a video card to put into a 5 year old pc. Thanks!!|||You should have this if you have DVI out on the PC. You may need the latest video drivers for you computer. Make sure you get the complete drivers set which includes all the options to configure the output to your TV. Set the TV as screen 2 so you can see both outputs in the videocard driver software on your PC monitor at the same time.. VGA to your PC monitor and DVI to your TV.

Best Gaming Video Card for Under $100.00?
I'm getting a new PC, it's an Asus - Essentio CM5570 and it is definately going to need a new Video Card and possibly a new power supply, depending on the video card. I believe the standard power supply that comes with this computer is a 300watt power supply.
I need a video card that is HDMI capable, under $100. If the video card needs a power supply please give me the correct watt usage, or the minimum Power Supply info.

I will also be using this for World of Warcraft and will want to be able to run with the majority of the graphics maxxed out.|||The best budget gaming card presently in the graphics card market is ATi 4670 1GB GDDR3.

And ATi 4670 is a very cool card, and consumes very less power. So a 400watt PSU would work. Even 300watt would do, but I dont recommend it under extreme gaming.
NVIDIA 9600GT costs more, same performance, requires extra power cable, is a bigger card, consumes too much power at idle. None of the NVIDIA cards are as good as their ATi counterparts.
For a bit more than 9600GT, you can get ATi 4770 for $109 which thrashes 9800GT. 50% more performance. If you can spend $109, I would say go for ATi 4770: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as…
Every one recommends 4670 in the budget range. Diablo 3 will easily be maxxed out by ATi 4670.

Low profile video card for Dell PC (options)?
Hi
I'm attempting to upgrade from the onboard video of my Dell Dimension c521 desktop. Its a slimline case, so I'm fairly hesitant to buy anything in case it doesn't fit.
I think I've tracked down a few options:

http://www.auspcmarket.com.au/show_product_info.php?input[product_code]=VI-VGCPR51BLPD3N-LP&input[category_id]=
Would any of these be suitable, and would they require any other components (fans etc.), considering this isn't really a gaming puter.
Cheers!|||Biggest problem you are going to have for an upgrade is going to be power. You cant upgrade the power supply easily, the X1300 isnt bad, you want more ram? By the way, its not low profile, its half height. low profile wont work. maybe the 8400GS, with the adapter plates (requires two for all the outputs)

DVI-TO-VGA or DVI-TO-HDMI adapter? for PC gaming?
I purchased a 24 inch samsun Syncmaster 2494 Pc monitor last year. I mainly use my pc for high end gaming. Ive been using DVI-to-VGA adapter to connect my gtx 470 video card to monitor for the past year thinking that was the only option. Then jsut a bit ago i was cleaning and found a hdmi unopened cable and a adapter, soChanged my setup to DVI-to-HDMI, connecting my video card via a very slim hdmi cable to the monitor. I have no idea what the difference between them are, and which one is better for PC gaming. They both seem to work with my computer/video card. Can someone please tell me which i should use? or if it even matters?|||I don't think it matters. While HDMI is the best for things like watching HDTV and Blu-ray, your graphics cards outputs on DVI. Therefore, no matter what input you use for your monitor, the output on the graphics card can only be as high as DVI. Just stick with the HDMI. It's newer technology anyways.
HDMI video card doesnt output HDMI signal to monitor?
Ok so I just bought a new tv and a new video card. I installed the video card, connected the card to the tv using hdmi, and turned on the computer. Computer booted up fine, let me know there was a new video card and that I needed new drivers. I could see everything fine from my computer, just had the wrong resolution for the tv due to not having the drivers installed. So I went to ATI's website and downloaded the appropriate drivers for my card. It went through the whole install and said everything was installed fine and needed to reboot for changes to take effect. So I clicked "OK" and it rebooted. When the computer restarted, I could see the initial start up screen and all that including the windows logo right before the logon screen. Right when the log on scree was about to show, the monitor said "No Signal" and turned blue. I knew from just always being on how to log on to my name without seeing it. So I did that, and heard the start up sound (when it shows the desktop after a restart), but still no image on the screen. Any ideas how to fix this? It worked without the drivers, as I said before, but wasn't the right resolution, so didn't look right.
I also have a DV-I port on the card and using a dv-i - HDMI adapter, I tried to connect the TV through there and that was a no go as well. I also tried renaming the HDMI-1 channel to "PC" which people said to try, and that didn't work either. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
And please don't tell me my TV or card is shot because they both work up to the log on screen. And the TV works fine with my XBox hooked up to the same HDMI port running 1080P.
Here's the info about the card and TV:
Card: ATI VisionTek HD4350 512MB DDR2 memory
TV: Philips 32PFL6704D/F7 32" 120HZ Full 1080P
Oh also, when I hook up the HDMI from my computer to another HDMI port on my TV (HDMI 2/3/4) or back to the original, it makes that weird noise like when you plug in a USB device or memory card, and then makes the other noise about 2 seconds later as if I disconnected whatever was plugged in. I can't see my desktop, so I don't know what it's saying or doing.|||I've seen this before on several systems that I've built. It is usually the resolution or refresh rate set too high for the TV to handle. Remember, that TV is not a computer monitor. Computer monitors have a signal they send to the computer, letting it know what its limits are. Your TV might or might not play well with a computer (reporting to the computer its resolution and refresh rate limits).
Boot into safe mode:

...then set the resolution and refresh rate below what you know your TV should display. For most TV's that are at least 720i HD resolution, set it to 1280 x 720, 60 HZ vertical refresh rate (found in the "advanced" section of the resolution settings). Once you do this, reboot the computer, it should work just fine after that. Once you get booted into Windows, you can then set the resolution for the maximum your TV can handle. For full 1080p HD TV's, the resolution is 1920 X 1080, at 59 or 60 Hz refresh rate.
You should also find out if the TV manufacturer has put out a Windows7 driver for that TV. Some of the better TV companies have drivers for their HD models, but all they really do is tell the operating system what resolution and refresh rates the TV can display.|||why not just use vga? and the problem might still be that your tv is on a unsoported resolution. i know my tv does that is its a resolution not supported by the tv.|||Wow man, thats frustrating. Maybe try to use the previous driver for your card. this is definitely mind-boggling.|||Try booting up in SAFE mode .... it's possible you set the resolution too high for the TV/Monitor to operate properly.
In safe mode, set your reso lower and save, then reboot and see if the screen comes good.
It's also possible in safe mode to roll back to your previous drivers if the resolution change doesn't work.|||Don't know what bios you are using but I would check all settings there as the PCIe may have to be enabled in the bios. Yes I see that it does if the default is not enabled . I do see a frequency setting in the manual for that board http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/sock… Just thoughts.
I also have a DV-I port on the card and using a dv-i - HDMI adapter, I tried to connect the TV through there and that was a no go as well. I also tried renaming the HDMI-1 channel to "PC" which people said to try, and that didn't work either. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
And please don't tell me my TV or card is shot because they both work up to the log on screen. And the TV works fine with my XBox hooked up to the same HDMI port running 1080P.
Here's the info about the card and TV:
Card: ATI VisionTek HD4350 512MB DDR2 memory
TV: Philips 32PFL6704D/F7 32" 120HZ Full 1080P
Oh also, when I hook up the HDMI from my computer to another HDMI port on my TV (HDMI 2/3/4) or back to the original, it makes that weird noise like when you plug in a USB device or memory card, and then makes the other noise about 2 seconds later as if I disconnected whatever was plugged in.

I was thinking of getting a new video card for my PC......?
since my current video card is only an ATI Radeon HD 3200, but there is no spot for an HDMI hookup. So with a new card that supports HDMI does the old card come out get replaced with the new card or does it go somewhere else? I'm not a PC gamer so I don't know who this works and how to do this any help would be appreciated.|||Hi a new card should indeed come with a hdmi hookup on it.
You can buy hdmi to d-sub connectors and vice versa if they are needed.
A few words of advice before even thinking of looking at a new card though.
First you need to make sure that the card you choose is supported by your motherboard. If your motherboard only has an agp slot on it for graphics cards then you will struggle to find a new card and it may be worth upgrading the motherboard and processor first.
Secondly you need to make sure your power supply is both big enough and has the correct connections on it for the graphics card.Lots of mew cards now require sli power provided to them from the psu.
Lastly you need to make sure there is room inside the case for the Graphics card too.Some are huge and if using a midi case you may struggle to fit some in the case
Your computer manual should help you obtain the info you need.|||ati radeon amd cards are like a honda civic pulling dirt up a hill
an nvidia based card is like a truck pulling dirt up a hill
which one is made to pull dirt up a hill, which one has more strength which one will be ok when it makes it to the top of the hill
the truck the truck the truck
get a gt430 made by nvidia it will work with your 300 power supply go to newegg.com and get the version that HAS 128BIT DO NOT GET THE 64BIT OR 32BIT YOU WILL THANK ME FOR YEARS
http://www.youtube.com/results?search_qu…|||HD 3200, is it an onboard solution? If so, you just plug in your new card and it'll be detected and set up.
If it's a discrete solution (a card) just pull the old one and put the new one in.

Help in connecting PC to LCD monitor for video thru hdmi and 5.1 speakers for audio?
I'm planning to buy a high end Graphics card with hdmi output..
I want to connect a lcd monitor with the graphics card thru hdmi cable for hd display..
Aslo for audio, i wnat to connect the pc to a 5.1 speaker set..
Is this possible.. Becoz, my doubt is, as hdmi is an audio/video cable, when i connect to the lcd with hdmi, the audio also will go to the monitor speakers itself.. How is it possible to get the video in lcd thru hdmi and audio thru 5.1speakers..
Or is it better to connect the graphics card and lcd thru dvi.. Is is as hd as hdmi?
Please be very clear..|||The new ati cards provide an dvi to hdmi converter also nvidia has an hdmi output too. I suggest to use the hdmi port only for video and dvd (hd only) if your monitor goes further than 720p or 1080p otherwise use the ''simple'' dvi output. If you want to watch a movie connect it with a big screen with hdmi.
For 5.1 audio I 'd go with the standard solution not the hdmi,through the audio card is still better.
Hdmi and av amplifiers have still some issues too.

Can you record gameplay in hd with a pc video card that has hdmi output?
If I use one hdmi cable for my ps3 to the tv and another hmdi cable for the tv to my computer video card can I record gameplay in hd? Also, if it is possible is there anything else needed? Like additional hardware or some software? Thanks!|||Nope. Won't work.
That HDMI port on your video card is an output-- It can only send out a video signal to a display. It cannot receive a video signal from an outside source.|||http://www.fraps.com/

I am purchasing a 32" flat panel LCD TV and patch my pc into it. What type of video card is needed ?
Is there any LCD TV better than another for running with a pc and is it possible to run an HDMI from PC to LCD?|||Yes
http://www.tweaktown.com/articles/972/three_hdmi_graphics_cards_tested_on_lcd_tv/|||Don't use a TV as a computer monitor unless the computer will be solely used as a media center. A TV does NOT make an acceptable computer monitor.
HDMI is basically just DVI with audio. There are adapters, but the TV will likely have DVI in anyway so you could just use that.|||I know Geforce 8000 series have hi-def capabilities not sure about conection maybe dvi and sound in out of the question|||I have done something similar. As far as I know there is not HDMI graphics cards and if there is they are mostly likely expensive.
What I have done is get a graphics card that has both DVI and VGA outputs so I can use it for multiple reasons and also dual screen. I purchased a DVI to HDMI cable to connect from computer to TV. The price for the cable varies. Cheap ones will work fine. Length of cable is something you should consider. I found a good 12 foot cable (I'm plugging it into a big screen). There are a lot of 4-6 foot ones out there too. Good Luck

What video card would be better for my current pc set-up?
ATI's 4770 512ddr5 128 bit dvi
5770 512ddr5 hdmi
4770 512ddr5 128 bit dvi
4850 512ddr3 256b hdmi
what card would greatly increase/improve my gaming experience in terms of "FPS"/Frame rates per second at a fairly High Quality Settings?
my previous card is 3650 1gb ddr2 128bit dvi.
i have - Intel Q6600 Core 2 Quad
and 2gigs of ram (i'm planning to upgrade it to 4gigs)
please i need feedbacks. =(|||Go with the 5770. I believe it's directX11 ready. Windows 7 uses dx11 and it's supposed to make graphics perform better. I bought the 5870 myself. If I had more money, I would have bought the 5970. I didn't have $600 though and my GF would have flipped out even more than when i told her I spent $400 on the 5870. The 5870 is fricken awsome though. It runs farcry 2 and Battlefield bad company 2 at max quality and resolution and aa very easily.|||depends, for ur computer i would say a 4870 or 4890,
but if u can only choose from the cards u listed, the 5770.
the 4870 and 4890 is around 3-10% faster then the 5770 but 5770 generates less heat, and uses less power, also supports DX11 (thu its a budget card so dont think DX11 will run very well on it)
im happy with my 4890 :D maxxing crysis with it right now :D

Do I really need HDMI video card if I bought HDMI monitor for my PC?
I am currently using DVI output video card NVIDIA G Force GTX 9800+ 512MB. My old monitor dies few days ago and bought a HD monitor to replace it. Do I need to buy a HDMI enabled video card to fully utilize the monitor capabilities or I am good with what I have now? Is it really necessary to buy a new video card?|||If your monitor has a dvi output, then you are good to go, dvi can display the same amount as hdmi. Just hdmi can carry sound and can display 10 bit. Dvi can't carry sound and can display 8 bit. if you have a computer you usually have seperate speakers. So no difference all good. LOL some idiot is giving a couple of us thumbs down when we are right.|||To answer your question,
DVI and HDMI are practically the same when you talk about the visual quality because they both use the same encoding schemes. The only Difference is that HDMI also carries audio and not just video like DVI. In your case buying a new Video card for your computer is not nessesary unless the monitor you purchased has built in speakers.|||you are good, DVI and HDMI are the same thing only different plug and HDMI can also pass audio. You can buy a DVI to HDMI adapter for your computer|||Nope. To keep it simple, HDMI passes both digital display and audio signals. DVI passes only digital display signals. DVI/HDMI are both the exact same quality display.|||No, but you're wasting quality.

What video card is right for me?
I own a Dell Inspiron 153s with a M2N61-AX OEM motherboard made by ASUS and uses nVidia GeForce 6150 integrated graphics with the nForce 430i chipset, and has two PCI slots, one PCI-e X1 and one PCI-e X16 1.0a slot. Honestly I don't understand a word of this but I recently got a LCD HDTV and wanted to upgrade my PC to use HDMI so I decided to get a video card with a HDMI port however I know nothing about them whatsoever. I am looking for the best video card for me to get but I don't want to exceed $40, what would you suggest?
Thank you in advance for you're time/help.|||The best you'll do is a Radeon 6450. They can be found for about $40 on Newegg.|||What exactly are you using this video card for?
$40 will get you a terrible video card, if you want a halfway decent one I would recommend spending around the $100 mark. And how big is your monitor?
EDIT: I don't know why I got thumbed down, if you plan on playing any games, or your monitor's resolution is too high, a $40 video card is not nearly enough.
