• Dell inspiron 3521 (i5), how to configure Radeon video card laptop use as main graphics card?

  Hello guys.

  IM using Dell inspiron 3521 (version i5 to 1.7 ghz, Radeon HD 7670 M / Intel HD Graphics 4000, 6 GB of ram)

  I don't want to use the Intel HD video card at all, because the quality of the texture is so low. I would like to know, how to set up the main video card?

  Its possible?

  Thank you

  The 'main' video chip is the Intel one - it's the only one who has a connection to your display board.  The AMD GPU is a co-processor - it can be used (chosen from the AMD Catalyst Control Panel) for the applications you want to use it.

  It CAN be made the default GPU - GPU from Intel's wired for this role.  By design, all of the video data through the Intel GPU (which is part of the central unit of system processing).

• Help to choose a video card.

  I have a Compaq Presario SR5605F Desktop PC, Windows Vista 32-bit and 3 GB.

  I'm trying to find out what kind of video card, I can use. I'll probably have a

  EVGA GeForce 8400 GS 1 GB DDR3 PCI Express 2.0-DVI/HDMI/VGA graphics card, 01 G-P3-1302-LR from amazon for video games work better.

  IMO, I don't think.

  The maximum of the power of the GPU call is 71 watts.

  I used it in the PC with 250W P/S without any problem.

  But do not play video games on my PC, other than the simple games that come with Windows

  I guess it depends on the intensity of the PC games have you intend to play and duration.

  This isn't really a game card, but it will run circles around your O/B video.

  If you look at the links I posted for the ASUS one, there is no minimum recommended P/S card.

  I think that once I fell a spec on the ASUS card when he recommends a minimum of a 300W P/S.

  Google Nvidia 8400GS absorbed power.

  And here's one where a guy says you can run it on a 220W P/S.

  http://UK.answers.Yahoo.com/question/index?QID=20090318054621AAKoi5W

  and another that says no problem...

  http://www.TomsHardware.com/Forum/254196-33-GeForce-8400-speed-power-consumption

  Use this handy tool to calculate the size of a P/S, you might need.

  As I said, I think you'll be fine as is.

• The Linux host, guest of WinXP, host has 2 network cards, how to choose which NETWORK adapter to use?

  I know it's something of an FAQ, but several hours spent on these forums and Google search gave me nothing of what works.

  All the solutions I've seen assume Windows as host and (something) as a guest.

  In my case, the host is Linux (CentOS 6.4) and invited is Windows XP.

  The host has two network cards, one on a 10.x.x.x network and the other on 192.168.x.x network.  In the guest virtual network adapter connects to the network 10.x.x.x.  I want it on 192.168.x.x network.

  I would be happy if I added another virtual network card and one of them connected to each network, but two of them connect to the 10.x.x.x network (with 10.x.x.x different IP numbers).

  The solutions I've seen indicate that under the Virtual Machine-> network adapter settings-> network connection, you click on the button "Configure the adapter" and load of come from there.  It would be great, but I have no button "Configure the adapter" or something like that.  I have a button "Advanced", but that just allows me traffic into and out of the butterfly and set a new MAC address, that's all.

  Because the host is Linux, I have also no equivalent to vmnetcfg.exe, at least none that I can find.

  So, where should I go from here?

  VMware Player is the version 6.0.0 (freshly upgraded 5.0.2 this afternoon).  I tried with version 5.0.2 and got the same thing.

  Thank you...

  You will need to use the virtual network Editor, although first you may need to create symbolic links.

  The first symbolic link already exist in a Terminal using the following command. Note: If connected a root the sudo command is not necessary when the.  Tip: Copy and paste the commands!

  ls-l/usr/lib/vmware/bin/vmware-netcfg

  If it exists, the output should be similar to the following.

  lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 29 Sep 08:17 / usr/lib/vmware/bin/vmware - netcfg->/usr/lib/vmware/bin/appLoader

  At this point, you can simply use the following command to bring the virtual network Editor.

  sudo/usr/lib/vmware/bin/vmware-netcfg

  However, if you want easier access creates a symbolic link in: / usr/bin

  sudo ln-s/usr/lib/vmware/bin/vmware-netcfg/usr/bin/vmware-netcfg

  If the symbolic link/usr/bin/vmware-netcfg does not exist, then use the following command.

  sudo ln-s/usr/lib/vmware/bin/appLoader/usr/lib/vmware/bin/vmware-netcfg

  Then, to facilitate access to create a symbolic link in: / usr/bin

  sudo ln-s/usr/lib/vmware/bin/vmware-netcfg/usr/bin/vmware-netcfg

  To bring up the virtual network in a Terminal editor use the following command.

  sudo vmware-netcfg

  In the virtual network editor disable automatic bypass on vmnet0 by selecting the network map target in the bridge to: list box.

• Aurora-R1, which video card to get?

  Hey, alien colleagues. I was recently saw a world of hurt with the HD5970 in my 4 year Aurora and was looking for some advice to upgrade.

  The two cards I've been watching are the R9 x 270 and the 760 GTX. When comparing the two cards that I noticed that the Nvidia card is cheaper and works better, which should make a mistake. I'm just curious to know if I am missing critical details or things I should consider.

  Also, I have problems if I go on my ATI to a Nvidia one card? What would be the best course of action to the steps? Thanks in advance to all.

  My GTX 770 works very well in my R1. BIOS A11. Hope that helps.

  I have a laptop of Acer Aspire 1640Z.  Discover the manual and there I find that there is a slot on the right side of the laptop for a "Type II PC card."

• Can you make a menu for the click Search right so that when I text matches and research, I can choose which search engine to use?

  If you text matches you can right click above to pull up a menu runs. One option is "x search engine search for"highlight text"" previously, the selected search engine would be any search engine was selected on bar search, Google or Amazon.com, etc.. Because you can't change this selection until you are looking for, the search engine has the default value. Was a gene before, but now, it's just an obstacle.

• A program to choose which audio device uses

  I saw the same question asked and asked and on many different forums with many different responses, most of which don't really know what was the real problem.
  
  Is there a way to get the Application use Audio Device 1 and get B asks to use Audio Device 2?

  Before people will tell me how to tell what Audio device to use Windows Media Player or VLC, I KNOW!  It does not help a bit.

  I want to be able to do if the two Application A AND B of the application don't have the ability to select which sound device they use.

  I am running Win 7 64 bit. I have a 5.1 speakers connected to my onboard sound and I have my TV connected to the HDMI connector on my graphics card.

  What I want to achieve is to have the sound of the game I play to get out of my speakers, and the sound for the film I'm streaming come on my TV.
   
  I have not yet found an option in IE, Firefox, every night (64 bit Firefox) or Chrome that allows me to use what audio device they use. Not one that would be important they use other applications like Flash Player or Silverlight to stream the video, or which have an option to choose which audio device they use, although oddly enough I found an option to select what mic was used on a single program...

  The programmers of these two Star Wars: The Old Republic and The Secret World, (the two games I play right now) have neglected to include the ability to choose which Audio device they use in the games options.

  I came across a post suggesting IndieVolume, I thought "Great, the answer to my prayers!", I downloaded the trial version to see if it would work. Installed, open it, looked at GUI, set up... Nothing has changed, did not work.

  There must be a way to do it built-in to Windows or that you would not get the option to select which audio device WMP can use.

  I would have liked to be able to do this easily in Windows 7, because after all was not Windows 7 supposed to be all about doing things you want to do with your PC, so much easier to do? I wish more programmers to understand that it is really necessary for the choice of the audio playback device in their games.

  Until these times there at - it anyone out there that can suggest a program or something that will help reach my goal? Or a way to do within Windows?

  IE and Silverlight are the two Microsoft but they don't give you the option.

  There must be programming in Windows to do can you supposed to have a reading of default communication as a standard device. Surely, that works on the same principle, with various programs that will be run, get recognized by windows as a program of communication and see their directed audio output in an appropriate manner.

  Is there a way to access which programs windows recognizes as a communications program and adding to the list manually?

  Force windows to think that request is a communication program and get the result of requests, the value 1 of Audio device which is defined as the "default communication device".

  Leave the Application B crossing 2 Audio device which is defined as the "Default Device".

• Pavilion NC768AA #ABA: HP Pavilion model. a6719f new video card with the new power supply?

  Hello!

  So, I won money to buy (hopefully) a new video card!

  However, I have a problem.

  I don't know which one to get!

  SO, someone please, please recommend a video card for intermediate level games.

  (My budget is less than $280)

  My PC has stock everything.

  Thus, it was purchased as it was when you would get everything first he.

  Yes, I need also a new power supply that is included with my budget.

  Thank you!

  Revionion, welcome to the forum.

  I'd be happy to help you in your choice.  The main problem is, recent video cards require UEFI in the motherboard instead of a standard BIOS to legacy.  HP didn't start using UEFI until mid-October 2012.  The latest maps not requiring UEFI were the series GTX 640.  However, MSI has made a card that has a VBIOS hybrid which can operate with a BIOS.  The best thing to do is to choose a video card you like and contact Technical Support from the manufacturer to ensure that it will work on your computer as it is almost 7 years old.  This will save you problems.  They are the experts on their cards.

  I like Corsair power supply units (PSU).  I suggest at least 500W.  This will give you plenty of power for any card that works in your computer.

  If you have any other questions, let me know.  I'll be happy to help you.

• NVIDIA Quadro 2000 vs 4000 or 5000: is the choice in the proportional to the motherboard video card?

  Perhaps the question should have been: will have all the features of the Quadro 4000, or the new Quadro 5000, facilitated by the system which I plan to build (see below)?

  The 570 both the 580 on the list supported and therefore do not require the 'hack '. In my case, using a GTX 480, I need to use the hack, because it is not supported.

  All the cards that you mention are good. Other good brands are Palit, Zotac, Asus, perspective, etc. The differences between these brands are very small. The choice of one over the other should be based on the price guarantee functions, where features usually boil down to the speed clock and the amount of memory.

  I suggest that take you a look at our last results page, because it allows you to sort on (almost) all fields of the database by clicking on a column header, so you can find the info you want faster. http://ppbm5.com/DB-PPBM5-2.php

  The new database contains all entries, since the new configuration cannot be transferred from data provided after January 29. All the news from before that time would require new presentations. Nevertheless, with about 340 entries is still an important source of information.

• Bad video card - last ditch effort

  Hello

  I'm 99% sure this is my video card that is causing this problem.

  Started a few days ago the screen filled with red pixels randomly, it could get worse over the next few minutes, and then the computer was completely insensitive - had stopped the clock and the mouse does not work yet.  I was able to ssh from my laptop, but cannot open applications and reboot via ssh wouldn't work, had to hard - reboot.  After having let it sit for awhile, it seemed better, I was hoping it was a stroke of luck.  Just right tonight (a few days since the accident of 1), he began acting again... bad.  I tried to run the Apple Hardware Test, he could not even done that - she's blocked (at the forefront in the screenshot), the mouse still worked, but even after half an hour, neither the time nor progress bar update.

  I have a NVIDIA Quadro graphics card, I'm not sure that is because apparently they only give information on the card itself.  I know that it was very expensive.  Tomorrow I'll try cleaning all the contacts on the map and the location of the motherboard.  Beyond that, all I can think to do is to buy a new video card.  Is it possible to fix a video card, or is it simply not feasible?  I can also try to put it in another location, to see if that solves (which would indicate that the problem is on the motherboard, rather than the map, but I doubt that will solve it).

  I removed the video card all together, the system is not is more locked up (so far), I am able to use via my MacBook screen sharing, and everything seems good function... which pretty much confirms for me, it's the video card (or slot) that's the problem.

  Does anyone have suggestions until I leave shell $500 on a new video card?  This expenditure could not have come at a worse time...

  I don't think I need anything too serious for a video card, I use Final Cut Pro.  I installed also just Apple Motion (literally, one day before all this crap started to happen, it seems strange that it could be related, but the time is quite a coincidence), and I join with two dual-link DVI ports.  I'd be curious to know if anyone has recommendations what video card to buy.

  Thanks in advance for any advice or thoughts.

• Z640: Upgraded the video card to 1070 GTX. I have to upgrade power supply?

  My Z640 has a supply of poer 925w but the power plug 6 pins only I think remaining is not enough to feed my 1070 GTX video card in use heavt. It requires care supply 2 x 8 pins and adapter I installed is not always able to provide enough power. HP chat support wasn't any help. Do I need to install a new power supply that provides power sheets 8 pin pci-e?

  @MacTheSteve, welcome to the forum.

  This is Service and Maintenance Guide for the workstation.

  I contacted StarTech to see if they would have an adapter 'Y' which had two 8-pin power connectors.  However, those that they should be the following on your motherboard or the power supply:

  StarTech Brandon: basically, there are 4 SATA power or LP4 molex.

  I believe that your diet is enough power, but simply do not have the required connectors.  At least, I don't the seen on the diagram of the motherboard.  It seems that you need to upgrade the PSU.

• Upgrade to a video card double

  I bought a new computer and need to upgrade the video card to use in our Church.

  The new computer is a HP SLIM s5580t Intel (iona), has window Home Premium, Intel Core i5-650 (73 watts)

  6 GB PC3-10600 memory. Can someone suggest a compatible video card that I can use to connect to some projectors?

  Will need double connector VGA...

  Thank you!

  The card mother Iona comes with both VGA and DVI connectors, which allow the double output. For you, the main constraint is that DVI requires a DVI monitor.

  For a map, you need to map PCI-E x 16 probably of low power and a low profile. You might be limited with being only 220 watt PSU.

  A low cost LCD with DVI input may be a better solution, with the projector using VGA.

  See you soon,.
