Ok, I think my pc is fast enough to handle a video upgrade. Here are the spec P4 3.0ghz HT
Motherboard: ASUS P4SD-LA with Intel 848P chipset 1.5 gig of ram 160gig harddrive radeon 9200 My
computer is like 2 years old My main concern is if my computer has enough power to supply video
cards such as the nivida 6800 or the radeon x800. I believe my computer has like 200 watts
powersupply. So is it possible for me to upgrade my graphic card? What do i need to look into in
order for my newly about to be bought video card to work? Upgrade my powersupply (and how?) or get a
n...

the new video cards are crazy, they work like a charm if you don't mind paying more for them
than the rest of your setup. these new cards have more power than some of the pc we used a few back
and it is all in a much smaller space. It is really cool the speed at which technology is moving at
the moment the only thing is don't try and keep up there is just no way !! But those new
video cards are just awesome !...

I have a Viewsonic E70f Monitor and the "Brightness" level box keeps popping up. I can hit the menu
button and it goes off, or if we're not at the computer, it goes off itself. Any idea what's
going on?...

I want to setup multiple monitors but the one external video card I found doesn't work. How can
I do this without putting a video card in my computer? The only external video card I can find is
the one that didn't work from "IOGear" If anyone can find something please tell me....

Monitors remain the most neglected device when it comes to buy or upgrading. Most people only look
for fastest processor, harddisk space and Ram. However, one important aspect of pc performance often
gets completely overlooked, and that is the display. This should ideally be one of the more
important things for any computer user to consider. First, because the display, which depends both
on the monitor and graphics card, is one of the more expensive component that you buy- it makes up
about a quarter of the cost of your entire system. The monitor is a long term investme...

Alright, I got 2 monitors currently and I found that my brother left his old graphics card at my
house. I was wondering if I would be able to run dual monitors with this. I don't know like
anything about running dual monitors. Do you just need 2 monitors and 2 graphic cards? If thats
the case, my current graphics card is a 32mb geforce2. My brothers old one I believe is some 16mb
card. Will these work? or will their be conflicts because I believe they are different brands and
also have different mb capacity? Also, I'm running windows 2000 pro. Will my os...

i got a new computer recently and everything was fine , until one day suddenly while listiening to
songs my monitor got switched off and again wen i powered off the computer and when i turned it on
the monitor was ok , but again after some time the monitor got switched off and this problem is
continuing for a longtime till now , i contacted my dealer. The dealer said to change the CMOS
battery , i did and still the problem exists and again i contacted him and he said to reinstall the
video card , i did again the problem came , and he asked to remove all the magnetic dev...

Just out of curiosity I want to here your opinion, if you were making a computer and there was a
choice of a 8800GTX and a 8800Ultra which one would you take. The logical answer would be the
8800ULTRA since it has higher clock speeds, better looking etc but I've heard some people say
that the 8800Ultra overheats your computer, too big, and uses too much power. Others say that the
8800GTS is much more worth the money, what do you prefer?...

I've got everything ready to build my new computer, except the video card, and mobo. I was
looking at going dual video card, and I was wondering what you guys thing is better: Dual ATI 2900XT
512mb with Crossfire, or Dual Nvidia 8800GTX in SLI? I'm mostly going to be playing source
engine games. The rest of the comp specs are: QUOTE Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 2.4 Vista Home

Last Sunday we had a power surge due to a lightning that hit our house. Luckily everything is
physically intact. The problem is that some of our technological equipments have been fried. Two of
our TV's broke and my new tower that I built myself is not working anymore. To make long story
short, When I turn on my computer, the monitor is not showing any picture. I tried another monitor
and it says there is no signal. I opened up my tower to see what was happening under the hood... and
what I observed was that the LED light on the motherboard is still lighting up. Whe...

Here's the url to the video card I currently have installed on my computer:
http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/Se...&CatId=1560 This PCI Express card has ports for 1-VGA
and 1-DVI monitor. The card states that it features Dual-monitors so what I'm wondering is that
if I connect 1 VGA monitor simultaenously with a DIV monitor on ONE video card, would I be able to
use both? Thus, giving me dual-monitors?...

Hey guys, Have you heard yet of the super graphic card that is being constructed atm? It's
total force exceeds the current GeForce 8800GTX in every possible aspect. Check the power usages of
both cards: - amdti fx 12000 uses 75watts of total power - geforce 8800gtx uses 150watts of total
power This is surely a good point in keeping the gpu's cooler and running them more
efficiently. The size of the core is also very small compared with the 8800gtx: - amdti fx 12000
uses 25nm core - 8800gtx uses 90nm core This beast of a card will use the brand new AGP 2 Exp...

Alright, I'll stay by telling you what Graphics Card I have, so there's not confusing. I
have a RECENTELY purchased 258mb GeForce 5500 graphic card. I installed it on my computer, a long
with the drivers.. What I didn't do!; Stupidly enough, I never plugged my monitor into the
graphics card, ha. So for about 2 months I thought I was running a GeForce, when I was actually
running an Intel Extreme Graphics card, ya, don't ask me how I didn't notice. I figured
that out today when I tryed to play fable, and it yelled at me for not having a good en...

I'm hoping that one of you guys came accross this one time and figured out how to fix it... So
I decided to play Lineage 2 one day. But when I ranned it it gave me an error saying that I must
have a video card installed in order for it to work and then the program crash right after I hit the
OK button. I checked out my video card settings then this comes out: "The currently selected
graphics display driver can not be used. It was written for a previous version of windows, and is no
longer compatible with this version of windows. The system has been started usin...

Id like to buy a double screen capable video board, so that I can have two independent monitors in
the same computer at the same time. Ive been searching a little bit, but whether on the net or in
local stores it seems I just cant find one... does any one know something about this? I would really
apreciate light on this matter......

I was wondering if someone might know what my problem might be. I have an LCD Monitor and I had it
for about 3 years. I'm having some weird problem with it. Whenever the monitor was off and I
turn it on with the power button, the green light on the power button starts blinking on and off for
5-10 minutes and then finally the monitor turns on. I have been having this problem for a while and
I tried disconnecting the plugs and connecting them back, but the same thing happens. Whenever the
monitor is off, and then when I turn it on, all that happens is the power bu...

My card is beat. I have a Geforce 4 MX Intergrated. Its time for an upgrade. Games have not been
working for my any more. Anarchy Online is SLOW (Framerate wise.), Entropia does not run, Linage II
does not run, Guild Wars does not run, its not fun. Now, I have 40 dollars in my pocket right now.
A pay check comes on Saturday, but I'm more intrested in just saving up. (Camera, or gutiar...)
I don't want to blow 200 bucks on a video card thatwill beomce out dated soon. I want something
that will play HL2, Guildwars, Linege II, etc. I want to have 32MB or more on b...

i bought a Samsung Syncmaster 17" LCD monitor a few days ago its awesome and feels much bigger than
my old 15" CRT and looks a lot cooler. Now i can afford to put large resolutions. And the colours
and brightness is crystal clear. Which monitor do you have, reply. edit:: for those who have big
monitors 17" and above, you need high resolution wallpapers, i found one such site

I recently got an ATI TvWonder internal video capture card for my ps2 speed runs. Now, it's a
great card, and does pretty high quality recording, there's about a 1-2 second lag between
pressing a button on the ps2 controller and it actually happening on screen. I currently run my
s-video to the cap card box and the rca video to my TV, but that means I have to carry my tv into
the living room every time I want to record. My main question is, does anyone know any tweaks to
speed up the display of the streaming video? I'm running a p4 1.8ghz processor with 750mb...

Hi I currently have a view sonic 17 inch that ive had for about the last three years.... Well Lately
ive been wanting to get a new nice flat panel LCD. I also mainly play the RTS game starcraft but
would like to play perhaps newer games like Halflife 2. Any way i was telling my freind about this
and he said unless i got a very highend Flat pannel LCD (400+ dollars) I would have bad what he
called Ghosting effects while playing new fps's? what is this ? is it true and how much would it
happpen?...

I'm looking at building a new computer, and I have everything picked out, except for the MOBO,
and video card. I'm hung up on wether or not to go with 2 ATI X850's running crossfire, or
to get a X1800xt when it comes out. The computer will be a gaming, video and audio editing computer.
Any suggestions?...

I am looking for a new Video Card and was wondering what the prices range from. In my current one I
am getting video, but the quality is not too good. I played that new game Rome and the game works,
but when they get to the parts where the animated characters talk it starts lagging, and same with
age of empires III. I just want a video card that can play all the games properly and above the
minimum requirements. Anyone got any ideas on what kind I should get?...

What do you think is the best video card. If other please reply. I have a NVIDIA card and I think
NVIDIA is the best. Don't be afraid to vote. I only know NVIDIA and ATI video cards,
that's why there isn't much choices ...

My freind and i were talking the other day (we both know very little about computers, but im trying
to learn /blink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='blink.gif' /> ) and he was
saying that he thought u could put two video cards on one pc. He also stated that you could sorta
mix and match i told him he really had no clue what he was talking about and there was no way you
could ever put a radeion with a nividia even if you could put two cards on one comp. was he right?
it dosnt really make sense to me. I thought you could just have one /unsure.gif...

Hi everyone. Since most of you are good at computers I though I could use some help for my seminar
anyway being a part of this community I though let's make use of the knowlege and idea's of
