Absolutely the best possible upgrade for a Dell Dimension C521 graphics card?

I've been upgraded to a Dell Dimension C521, that I use as a general computer and play games.

I know that he will never play in recent games, although with the x 1300 pro that was in it when I got it I have successfully played 2 games or 3 years and more. Runs of Prince of Persia: the forgotten sands, Batman: Arkham Asylum and Darksiders without any problem (all parameters lowish and resolution 800 x 600).

Since I got it I upgraded the CPU to an AMD Athlon 64 x 2 5600 + (Windsor) and the RAM from 2 GB to 4 GB, which has cost me about £25.

I really want to update the graphics card to something better than the Radeon x 1300 Pro that I have atm. I am aware that the PSU is only 280W and I need a map of low profile for this machine, although I read Dell generally insufficiently misses their PSUS in any case. All the posts I can find here and elsewhere online seem to be old enough and I wanted to make sure that I had discovered so far had not become outdated.

So far, I found that the recommended card is the Radeon HD 6570.

Can anyone suggest something better? If not, can anyone suggest what specific version of the 6570 to get (Sapphire, Asus etc.) and the amount of memory to get with it?

Thanks in advance.

Can anyone suggest something better?

XFX R7 240 Low Profile Ready

30 watts TDP, against 54 watts TDP for the 6570. Faster, too.

A version of the R7 240 GDDR5 will be even faster, but more money, as well.

    As a general rule, her upgrade CPU what whether it is compatible with the motherboard will NOT give you a lot of performance. The GT 620 is a low range GPU and there are a lot more mature. Check the video card review sites for options. You will also receive additional RAM if it is not already overexploited, usually more than a costly upgrade of CPU.

    I bought a new laptop which has Windows 8. I heard that Windows 8 is new, it only is not automatically provided some 'things' - forgive me for my lack of knowledge in technology. I intend to play games on my new laptop, but according to my knowledge, Windows 8 does not support things like Visual C++ and Directx 9. I am very uncertain about this subject, however. If anyone understands this as am I mean, can you please correct and/or explain more on this topic?

    We were all new at one point, so don't worry what you know.  Win 8 is compatible with all previous OS.  It supports C++, and depends on your video card supports DIrectX 9, 10 and 11.

    The only thing that doesn't come with win 8 (and since you bought it, it may already be installed) is windows media player.

  • HP Pavilion p7-1254: upgrade to the best possible processor for my motherboard

    Hello, I so had a question about upgrading my processor. I looked at the HP site on my motherboard and I saw all the processors possible it could support. However, I just had a question for whether or not he could support this specific CPU, even if it is NOT on the list:

    AMD A8 - 3870K APU with AMD Radeon 6550 HD Graphics unlocked 3.0GHz Socket FM1 100W processor Quad-Core - retail - AD3870WNGXBOX

    At the moment my processor is: AMD A6 - 3620 APU with graphics Radeon (TM) HD (4 CPUs), ~2.2GHz

    If the motherboard can support a 8 A 3850 APU, I think that the A-8 3870 K wouldn't be too far, but still, I'm not sure that's why I'm here. If there are better options than the image AMD Llano A8-3850, please share with me and let me know!

    Thank you very much for your answers!

    You must take the manual at face value. Other processors not listed may work, but it is at your own risk. I would setup just high processor you are sure will work. The A8-3850 will be a vast improvement on the A6. The A8 - 3870K would be faster,.1 right ghz... 2.9 vs 3.0 ghz?

    This is normal and there is no way to reassign the processor to process as much results as the graphics card.

  • The Dell Dimension 9200 graphics card upgrade

    I am looking to update my graphics card on a Dell Dimension 9200 and I was wondering if the Nvidia GeForce GT 430 would work with the pc, I have a Nvidia 7900 gt. I am open to both recommendations.

    My current pc features, Windows 8 version Preview (upgrade to windows 8 Pro in a few days), 4 GB of ram, intel dual core 2.13 ghz.

    Hi gaz492,

    The graphics card you have mentioned should work on the Dimension 9200.

    Food that has been delivered with the computer is 375W which is more than the bloc power to the graphics card. Details of the graphics card: http://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-gt-430/specifications

    In addition, providing the link for the specifications of the computer:

    NOTE from the ADMIN: Broken link has been removed from this post by Dell >

    Add the link to the manual for Dimension 9200, which is also known as the XPS 410:

    There are a lot of compatible adapters to the computer: here is a list of the latest graphics cards that run on the desktop computer:

    1. nVidia GeForce GT 440.
    2. ATI Radeon HD 6570.
    3. ATI Radeon HD 6670 (requires minimum 400W).
    4. ATI Radeon HD 7750 (requires minimum 400W).

    Usually if the video card is updated on the computer, you must upgrade the power too as the power supply on this computer is 375W.

    Answer please if you have any other questions.

    Best regards, John

    With an older system like the 3000, you will only be able to use the old PCI interface for a video card.  These cards are more expensive and there is no reason to spend too much on an upgrade when dealing with older systems like that. Popular cards have been the 6200 Nvidia 8400 GS or the best 9400 GT.  Do not forget only the PCI interface.  No AGP or PCI Express.

    I'm not sure what your goal is the upgrade, but don't expect too much.  I know that people have upgraded to these cards to play games like the Sims.  Your system is just old with old parties slow and he can't move much faster with a video card.  You have 3 PCI slots on the motherboard.  Put the card into the top slot of most and move all other cards down lower if installed.  You should probably disable your chart integrated through your device manager before installing a video card for it to work and make sure that the first video is correct in the bios.

  • How to the best Setup project for export to many formats

    I'm about to start editing a wedding video but just realized I intend for the video to be viewed on many different media and display types. I wonder what the best way is to configure my project to be able to export all the different formats and to get the best possible quality for each of the formats? The video source is AVCHD 1080i (1920 x 1080 60 frames per second interlaced) I wish that my final project in all of the following formats (all 16:9):

    Blu - ray 1080i60

    Blu - ray 720 p 60

    1080 p 30 (for playback on projector connected to the computer)

    DVD NTSC (I think to 480 p or should I use 480i?)

    DVD PAL (576i or 576 p?)

    Should what format I configure my project? How then would export to other formats? How to deal with interlaced to progressive conversion? Thanks for any help you can offer.

    Use the format that fits your video... so the formats of all your AVCHD export full which is 1920 x 1080, are the same resolution or less... they can be exported from your project. You can deal with the export formats progressive in deinterlacing the video on the timeline and using the Progressive 'None,' option accessed from the advanced options in the export field window.

    I need the video/display drivers for my Dell Inspiron 6000 with Windows 8.  Laptop is the Intel Pentium M processor 2.00 GHz RAM, operating system, 32-bit on x 86.  My resolution is not at the right level and videos have hard play.

    Reconstructions of Dell should be loaded in a particular order until the drivers are installed, that is to say the controllers then the drivers for the chipset and resolution etc. They are specific to this.
    then;

So went into a ghost of Dell image when the resolution was good on Win7, recovered files in windows/System32, which has old drivers. Does the update in graphic cards [Device Manager] driver and manually looked through above the files recovered from previous instal win7 and YES they charge this time.
    Oh what a relief to have a higher resolution. Experience had taught me how snappy Win8 is, I picked up a shortened bunch of ways to circumvent the operating system, and it is growing on me. WIN8 Pro works best on this old machine than its original Home XP and Win7.

    Thanks for the reply to my comments to complete Responses to your subject.

    Factors in your planning...

    First elements 13/13.1 does not support Windows XP, Windows Vista or Mac OS 10.7.

    First items 10, 11 or 12/12.1 on a Windows computer is 64-bit application when it is run on Windows 7, 8 or 8.1 64-bit computer. Otherwise, it's a 32-bit application. This has implications on important it resources, particularly for your biggest projects in Premiere Elements.

    Video mobile phone registered with a variable rate is a consideration for any version of Premiere Elements. If your cell phone video shows with audio out of sync and you use the hand brake to correct this condition, you should get good quality of the handbrake H.264.mp4 (just make sure that the export rate is comparable to that of the original in addition to changing the frequency of images to a number (use same as source) and selecting constant for this frame rate).

    If any clarification on the above, do not hesitate to ask.

    Thank you.

  • How to set up the hearing to get the best possible recording.

    Hello.  I'm a complete noob to your help and understanding are greatly appreciated.

    I use Windows 7, Samson co1u mic and audition cs6.

    I would like to know how to set the hearing to get the best possible recording.  I'm only audio recording for a podcast.

    I record in a 12 x 15 typical room in my home office.

    Thank you.

    He is not hearing, you must set up - simply recording what send you it, and it does not change in the slightest. What you need to do, is get the vocal microphone so that it picks up your voice in the best conditions it can - and it will be a combination of the microphone technique and possibly some changes of scenery if the room is particularly reverberant or echo-y.

    The microphone must be ideally on a support, and you need about 8-9 "of her, but ideally not directly talk to him. In other words, he won't be directly in front of your mouth; If you put it there, you stand a much better chance of picking up the sibilence and plosives ("ssss" sounds and pop). So just below or just above level of the mouth, and very slightly to one side usually works quite well. Made a windshield. I dream of recording direct speech like that without the help of a.

    You can set it up like that at first and see what it sounds like. If you get a lot of 'place' sound in it, you may need to put curtains of some sort behind you (the sensitive direction of mic's is this way, of course), which will reduce noise reflected from the walls. Being farthest from the walls is generally a good thing - more near the center of most of the sounds of spaces better because of this. If there are windows with curtains or drapes, then close them - large glass surfaces can make its rooms even worse. If you are going to do a lot of this, and have trouble with the room, then one good patch is one of the laboratories reflection filters themselves. Initially, I was rather dubious on one of them would work well, but after trying, I am convinced - it's a great way to keep a lot of room on the microphone.

  • Parameters to ingest at the best possible quality?

    If I copy AVCHD video from a map on my Mac and interfere in CS6 using the parameters of the sequence and rendered high quality, will I get the best possible quality? Are there other settings that I should look in better quality?
