DirectX 12 compatibility with current graphics cards

DirectX 12 will be fully backward compatible with DirectX 11. I don't want to upgrade to Windows 10 if there is a problem running (such as The Witcher 3), games that use DirectX 11. In addition, my main video card is a GTX 970 SSC, which says it's compatible with DirectX 12 and a secondary GTX 660 SC for PhysX. Don't want to have to get new equipment for this upgrade.

Compatible, Yes! Your 970 will work fine. All the benefits of DX 12 "features"? Not so much.

A DX12 graphics card will be able to treat some DX12 effects for better quality than DX11 cards,

but it will take time for the games to catch up as well.

It's always a guess (and a bit subjective) how real 'must have' eye-candy DX12 is really

going to produce. Probably nothing much before the time to upgrade the 970 in any case.

-660 would also fundamentally DX12-compatible, but a 660 running PhysX should be no problem without worrying, because it is only made of physics calculations.

  • My photoshop is flashing, there are problems of compatibility with the graphics card. Help?

    My photoshop is flashing, there are problems of compatibility with the graphics card. I tried to turn off the graphics card option in photoshop, uninstalled and installed several times, but still. Please, what should I do?

  • HP PAVILION SLIMLINE S3370.UK: update ATI 2400HD to one with HDMI graphics card

    Looking for some advice - I have this HP PAVILLION S3370 with this 2400HD ATI graphics card machine

    The reason why I'm looking to upgrade the card is simply for HDMI support. I have bought converters and VGA splitters but had problems with resolutions where I'd get a display on a screen and a message put on the other, so I thought that I should just upgrade the card to one that has two vga and a HDMI output in this way I can project to the second screen and with a card with the sopport software update I should be able to adapt to the screen with scaling options - as I can on my other machine - and yet always use the computer screen when I want to sit at my desk.

    The problem I have is the technical terms of the cards. I uderstand that due to having a HP Slimline I need a low profile & PCI Express x 16 card but newer cards make no mention of DDR2 SDRAM - and instead, I know GDDR3 - I'm asuming it is just the memory of the card use - type, but that would be coimpatable with the installation of my machine?

    For example this map would be a suitable replacement? EVGA NVIDIA GT 610 Graphics Card - 1 GB If Yes can you contact why. If this is not suitable could make you alternative suggestions - thank you.

    I apologize for the niavity of this issue - but it's been years since I have been embarrassed to have to upgrade graphics cards and I forgot the more I find myself with. I am based in the United Kingdom and the machine itself is running Windows 10 - the current graphics card manages the Sturmovik game Sim plane no problem and while I want to really just support HDMI for streaming movies I don't want to lose my support in game.

    Thanks for reading and checking links - we appreciate it.

    Hello:

    I think you should be able to squeak by with this card and derisory of your PC power supply 160W.

    The AMD Radeon attracts a maximum of about 20 Watts and the GT610 around 29 Watts.  IMO, 9 Watts is not that big of a difference to blow your PC power.

    I see that it comes with low profile brackets, so there is no problem with this arrangement, etc.

    You're right about the memory.  That concern me too much back in the day, that the memory graphics specification did not spec PC's memory.  Graphics memory is independent of the PC's memory, and there is no conflict.

    The only thing I don't know... but easy enough to fix.

    The PC being produced in 2007 may have a BIOS that does not include how video cards with HDMI ports work regarding audio.

    On these old PC several times when you install a video card with HDMI output, the PC think that not only you have installed a video card, but that you have also installed a sound card (because of the HD audio chip on the video card).

    Thus, the BIOS only disables the video edge, it also disables the audio system too.

    So, after installing the video card and drivers, if your integrated sound card is missing, restart the PC, go into the BIOS, look for the audio setting on Board (it cannot exist without first adding the video card, so there may be no use in looking for it now).  You can watch now of course, but do not be alarmed if it does not exist.

    Audio setting will be set to auto or off.

    Change the active setting. Save the setting here where you made the change, and again when you exit the BIOS.

    After reboot and return to Windows, integrated audio system needs to be restored and the HDMI audio works if HDMI cable connection is detected.

    Another reminder... before install you your new video card, make sure that you uninstall the current drivers.

    To do this, go to Device Manager, click to expand the category of device display cards, do a right-click on the map of chart amd radeon HD 2400 that there are listed, select uninstall, select uninstall driver.

    Do not restart the PC you are prompted.

    Go to the menu programs in the Control Panel, then uninstall all current AMD Catalyst software.

    Once this is done, stop, disconnect the PC and remove and replace the video card in your PC.

  • Satellite A300-1EG - dead with the graphic card pixel problems

    Hello

    Not after two months of use of a brand new Toshiba A300, I had a dead pixel.
    Its only I guess, but what intrigues me is that it could be somehow merged with disorders, that I got with my graphics card.
    I had trobule with S-video use, there was a bad image, without collors.
    Is there a chance that I can have my screen replaced?

    Im still under warranty.

    Thank you

    Hello

    Regarding the dead pixel:
    > Is there a chance that I can have my screen replaced?
    I doubt that the screen would be replaced only due to a dead pixel.

    Please check out this article from Toshiba. I found it in the page of knowledge base of Toshiba.

  • Need drivers for APU A8-3800 AMD CPU with Radeon graphics card

    HP Pavilion p7 - 1126 s

    64-bit edition Windows 7 Home premium

    processor APU A8-3800 with Radeon graphics card

    Got another driver, I need to use the system recovery.

    Have the former driver of the year 2006 by microsoft, need of the driver for the AMD processor by AMD. Looked around, but couldn't find and forget to go to the Device Manager to update the processor it says its uptodate lol that's also not true.

    To the best of my knowledge AMD does not provide a driver of processor for consumers. AMD provides the driver to Microsoft for use in the Windows operating system. The only driver AMD lists for your APU (CPU/GPU) is the graphic driver. If you have not successfully updated for SP1 Win7 yet, I suggest you do before installing other software/drivers.

    Go to Device Manager > processors > (double-click on a processor) > driver > Driver Details [this is XP, should be the same or close for Win7]. Under Details of the file driver as a driver "C:\windows\system32\drivers\intelppm.sys" file (it is an Intel CPU) should be listed. Below that should be a version of the file as ' 5.1.2600.2180 {xpsp_sp2_rtm.040803 - 2158} "(it is a XP SP2 install). If these items on your computer appears "amdppm.sys" (or something similar) for the driver and something like "6.1.7600.16385 {xxxxxxx}" for file version, your system is up-to-date. If you see something like "6.1.7601.xxxxx {xxxxxxx} for the version of the file, you are running Win7 SP1."

  • HP PROBOOK 450 GB: Can I update my motherboard with a graphics card

    Hello

    I have a hp probook 450 GB (i3, 8 GB ram, 1 TB), and I wonder if I cand update my motherboard with a graphics card. Is this possible? My motherboard is 1949 Hewlett - Packard (U3E1).

    Thank you!

    The 450 G0 has either Intel HD 4000 or it can have switchable discrete Radeon 8750 M, but if you have the old, you will need to replace the whole motherboard to get one with Radeon graphics cards. Which may be prohibitive, but is theoretically possible. Can you replace your self? Parts will run a few hundred to a few hundred working (in dollars). You need the motherboard and a new radiator/cooling fan. Processor, wireless card memory could be reversed. Also your windows must be reactivated and eventually you will have to buy a new Windows license (which does not 100% the case) but Microsoft generally believes that it is a different computer if you swap out the motherboard.

    If still interested we can guide you through the details.

  • Problems with the graphics card

    Hey, so I spent recently to my laptop HP Pavilion of 15-n298sa of a windows 06:52 and she since has earned me an endless stream of problems, especially with my graphics card. As I am on break from uni I re-uploaded all my games on my computer and found that none of them bar those made before the middle of the 2000s, play for me and for all name them my graphics as being the problem - like solitaire spider fact etc. All have previously been playable, about a month ago, so I know that it shouldn't be a problem. I tried several times to install the graphics drivers (one-I can't remember their names - AMD would apparently install and that NVIDIA could not). When looking at the Info for the graphic drivers installed, "Standard VGA Graphics Adapter" that it's 2006 so I guess that AMD, it has not actually installed / was done wrongly. I was wondering if someone could help me?

    BTW, I'm a complete technophobe and total so if you have an idea of what to do, I would appreciate it if you could put it in other words, because I am a plonker when it comes of this.

    Hello:

    See if this graphics driver works.  Your computer laptop is only the graphics card Intel HD 4400 so don't expect too much of it.

  • Power supply with updated graphics card update

    I am considering buying the HPE-150 t with an improved graphics card standard:

    1 GB ATI Radeon HD 5770 [2 DVI, HDMI, DP, VGA adapter]

    I went on http://support.asus.com/PowerSupplyCalculator/PSCalculator.aspx?SLanguage=en-us to the appropriate power needed for this gauge system, and it recommends a minimum 450 Watt power supply.

    If I ended up buying the HPE-150 t with updated graphics card, I get a power supply improved to compensate for the increase of energy consumption?


    Here are the specs of your motherboard.  It indicates a 350 Watt PSU.  However, if you scroll down to hardware options, you will see a 460 watt power supply associated with the 5770 video card.

  • problems with the graphics card after installing windows 7, code 43

    I installed windows 7 & my ATI-RADEON XPRESS 200 SERIES is stopped by windows 43.It code stipulates that drivers are ok... but it is not recognized... I also downloaded a few 3d Screensavers & they worked very well now, it is not able to open the screensaver because of the video card or to be compatible with Direct 3D... This question has not pop up until after you have installed windows 7, I have checked & found a lot of problems with windows 7 & ATI-RADEON XPRESS 200 SERIES drivers or recognition. Tried to update the driver but the States, it is far, but windows 7 is having a problem with drivers... Y at - it a fix for this, looks like it should be a matter of windows & microsoft should have action corrected problem because windows is caused this problem... Have installed all windows updates & all up to date... Can someone try to give me a solution to fix this problem? Not sure if they have an upgrade or accelerator program 3d graphics that may have to be installed... & again thanks if anyone can help... Have a great day...

    ATI-RADEON XPRESS 200 SERIES is an accelerator of limited DirectX 9 graphics (integrated graphics), which was

    published in ' 07 and apparently is not compatible with Win7.

    Old hardware with a Windows version compatibility isn't something that never gets fixed by SM.

    It is the mfg of the material to support the product through a driver updated, and trend of integrated graphic card

    not be supported as long as a dedicated graphics card.

    In this case support drivers apparently stopped with Vista.

    If you try to get drivers via Device Manager or Windows Update they can provide incorrect information

    What about drivers who are up to date.

    These two methods are a little known does not install the proper drivers for the graphics.

    I read that some people have had luck on Win7 with the Vista drivers for various materials. Doesn't hurt to try.

    You can download the drivers for XPRESS 200 SERIES from the AMD website below-

  • Desktop HP Pavilion 500-342nem: can I upgrade my desktop computer hp pavilion 500 with the graphics card AMD RX 480 replacing edge R7

    I plan to upgrade my hp pavilion 500-342nem, who was already A7 graphical 240 with the new 480 RX.

    Is it possible to upgrade both the power supply and graphics card?

    There will be no problem of compatibility (PSU Corsair CX 500 questioned?.)

    I heard a lot of chatter on hp restricting the upgrade of their pc.

    The new card will work?

    Any help will be apppreciated.

    @Jeffrin98, welcome to the forum.

    I cannot find the specs of the product to the computer.  So, here's what you need to do.  Press Start + R from the view of the office.  This will open a run dialog box.  In the box labeled type msinfo32 opened.  In the page that opens, check the option titled Mode BIOS.  If he says UEFI motherboard is supported by the video card.  If this isn't the case, you will not be able to move forward.

    The next step is to measure the space where the card will be installed to ensure that it fits.  Measure from the back i/o port to the front of the case.  This will allow you to see if other ingredients will limit the installation.

    The CX500 Corsair power supply (PSU) should work.  However, check how much power requires the video card.  It may be better to buy a PSU with 600W.  High power will be used during peak power needs.  In addition, the card may require additional power connectors.  Also, I recommend a modular power supply.  It allows you to use only the cables that are absolutely necessary, create better air circulation.  It is very important with more powerful graphics cards.  The heat can be much larger.

  • Photoshop error with nVidia graphics card driver.

    Hello

    Assuming that your system meets, or in the case of your vid card, exceeds the minimum requirements of the CS5 system, I would be leaning on Nvidia for a solution to the question of pilot - is applied a fix to an existing driver or to help you identify an older driver version that is compatible with the configuration that you have running.  You do not provide a lot of information here, the model # and/or specifications of the HP system your quadro card works in 32 or 64 bit OS, using cs5 32 or 64-bit, or exactly which version of the driver is running your graphics card.  NVIDIA, or anyone trying to help you with this question, going to need this information.

    A quick google search brings up some success showing the problems of this nature.  Just one example, the Adobe forums, a year ago: http://forums.adobe.com/message/3142008.

    The question in this post was not marked as "resolved", but it illustrates there may be several different issues leading to your error message.  I would recommend looking in the Adobe forums, you can find a solution?  Or, at the very least, you will be able to exclude some things for when you report the problem to Nvidia.

    During this time, obviously: did you always have this problem?  If this is not the case, have you tried rolling back to use a driver Nvidia oldest, known for work with your version of cs5?

    You mentioned that you updated the driver less than two months ago.  It seems that the latest driver available from Nvidia is dated August 12, 2011.  What is the date of the driver you are currently using?

    Good luck.

  • I need help with possible graphics card on my HP Pavilion Media Center TV PC m1800n failure

    I'm not computer savvy, but I think I can be faced with a problem of graphics card.  My HP Pavilion # is GC673AA-ABA m8100n and the graphics card on my computer model is NVIDIA GeFOrce 6150SE.  These days through a PC game, the screen becomes blurry and has funky lines.  I also had an accident where the screen turned blue and I had to stop holding the power button until it is turned off.   Have not fallen since then, I am now having the screen blurred when the game sat for awhile.      If I had to replace the graphics card should I just put in the same one that has the computer?  I'm afraid that if I try to upgrade to a graphics card plus other things have to be upgraded as well to make it work properly!       I also wonder if it could be the monitor, but the weird screen happens only while playing the PC game.   Thank you for your patience with my questions.  Sandy

    Hello

    The title says m1800n but I'm sure that your m8100n meant.

    The NVIDIA GeForce 6150SE is a video processor integrated on the motherboard and cannot be replaced.

    Try your monitor and cable on another PC to separate the cable and the monitor questions.

    A discrete videocard like the NVIDIA GT 520orGT 440can be installed in your PC.
