Double the Dimension 8300 HDMI graphics card?

I entered a discussion yesterday with a Dell REP with the purchase of a double-HDMI graphics card for my Dimension 8300.

Is it true that only graphics cards that sell Dell will work in this model of computer?  They don't sell any double-HDMI are compatible with this computer.

Shouldn't be able to buy any material from off - the shelf and install it?  I thought that these problems of compatibility years ago has left us.

Although I prefer the HDMI interface, I have a dual-DVI Radeon I pulled a Dell desktop computer that I replaced.  A reason that does not work?

Is it true that only graphics cards that sell Dell will work in this model of computer?

No, but those that sell Dell have probably been tested to work with the system that they recommend you for.

If you're really talking about an old Dimension 8300 and not a new XPS 8300, you have an AGP video card slot, so it is quite difficult to find an AGP card with two HDMI ports.  You can look in the BIOS Setup to the primary video controller option to see what other options are supported.

But this system has only PCI slots (not the PCI - e newest) thus, even if you can set the primary video controller to PCI, your choices will be limited.

Why should you double HDMI? Each monitor does support to the DP, DVI or VGA? You have several choices of video PCI card if you go for one that has a HDMI and another port supporting at least one of the monitors. Both monitors do not have to be connected via the video port of the same type...

If you better save your money and go with a gtx. the gtx 950 would be about the same performance as this K4200, but much less expensive. a 970 gtx about 2 x more powerful, but still half the price.

    Do you mean you bought an EVGA 8300 GS on your own or being the 8300 GS installed by Dell?  The serial number will be on the retail box or on a sticker on the map.  You need to open your side panel and look on top of the card to get the serial number if necessary.  If installed by Dell, most likely you don't have any collateral at this stage on the 530.

  • New HP 2011 x 20 '' LED monitor for old Dell Dimension 2400. necessary graphics card?

    My in-laws have an old Dell Dimension 2400 and the monitor exploded. I bought a new HP 2011 x 20 '' LED monitor. My WIRE went to set up, and he tells her that a HMDI graphics card is required.

    This is a pretty old computer. I think he might have as... 512 MB of RAM. Is there an inexpensive graphics card that will meet their needs?

    And besides, when they buy the graphics card, are there all the cables that they must reach a new monitor to an old computer?

    Thank you very much!

    Nice description of Dell:
    Video connector to 15 holes :-)

    Seems to be a VGA connector.

    From the description of the monitor:
    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c02643130
    There is an also vga connector, so you will have no problem to connect the two.

    No additional card is necessary, no other cable - just use the old vga cable.

    Your only problem might be the resolution:
    resolution 1600 x 900 set at the factory for the monitor.

    I don't know if you can set the resolution to Dell, you should test.

    Otherwise a 4:3 normal/old monitor would be better than this 'big screen' new.

  • 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.

  • For Dimension 4600 AGP graphics card

    Hi all

    I recently acquired an old Dimension 4600. I'll use it on the side for general use for example browsing the internet, email, etc. Nothing heavy. Its current specifications are;

    Intel Pentium 4 Northwood 2.8GHz 512 Kb 533FSB

    4 GB RAM PC3200

    NVIDIA Geforce 5200 128 MB AGP

    Windows XP Professional 32-bit (can install Win 7)

    I would go on a little adventure upgrade that I find it rewarding and it gives me experience in hardware components.

    For now, I can't play videos from YouTube above 480 p as a bottleneck by the graphics card. I think I can get my hands on a Nvidia Geforce 7950GT 512 MB AGP for about £20. This is the fastest Nvidia card for the AGP slot.

    Is - this work on a 4600 and allow the best YouTube video playback? The P4 would then become the bottleneck? I think I will also replace the power supply. A model of 400w would suffice?

    In addition, an SSD on the old interface SATA 1.5 would be an improvement on the current IDE HDD? Of course, I won't sink money in old material but a SSD can be put in any latest system.

    Sorry for all the questions!

    Andrew

    Do not forget that at the end of the era of the AGP, ATI made the fastest AGP cards.  I have a Dimension 4550 discount.  I made a point to get the fastest AGP card ever made for her - an ATI Radeon HD 3850 512 MB AGP.  It is a huge map, IIRC and barely enter the 4550.  Unfortunately, I don't remember how various time graphics cards would process the video.  But the 3850 AGP was the best, there wasn't, at least for the games.  IIRC, same card ATI X 1950 Pro and X 1650 Pro were faster than the fastest Nvidia cards.  (I'm not a fan dedicated ATI or Nvidia - all my current cards are Nvidia, because right now they are the best).

    Hope this works, an SSD would you give an improvement in the overall responsiveness, due to its fast seek times, which is especially important for smaller files.  Not sure how much improvement, though.  Good point, it's that an SSD can be used in the most recent machines as well.

  • My Port HDMI graphics card does not!

    I have the alienware x 51 with

    15 - 3.00 ghz

    graphics card-geforce gtx 645

    8 GB RAM

    What happens is when I turned on the computer, the system starts, but there is no display.

    I changed the onboard HDMI port hdmi cable and screen then comes. In the BIOS settings, the main display is discreet. Can someone help me?

    Try to update the BIOS.

    So again, it does not solve the issue. I open the computer, remove the video card. Give him some dust removal and replace in.

    Then check in the BIOS if it always shows the main screen as discrete.

  • On the Satellite 5200 903 graphics card problem

    Deploy a 5200-903 Toshiba Satellite. A few days ago, I have a problem with the display. All scratches and other
    unknown elements on the screen. It's the graphics card (FX GO5600). Read about it in other forums.

    My Question: Is it an embedded chart? And what do you think, is it profitable to change the broken component?
    I mean if the graphic is on board, I have to change the motherboard together.

    Thank you very much for your answers!

    Hello

    It's look like that there is a problem with a graphics card. Can you check connection of the external monitor to the laptop?
    The graphics card is integrated into the motherboard, therefore, you need to replace the whole motherboard.

    It is quite expensive, and sometimes it is better to buy the new computer

  • H8 - 1000 in.: h8 - 1000 in the list of compatible graphics cards

    I would like to know/have a list of compatible graphics cards for H8 - 1000 in. currently, I have the GT 420 and I can't seem to find any compatible graphics card.i don't mind the upgrade of the power unit to adapt new graphics cards that require more power.

    The factory system specs are impressive except the graphic card that can't handle new games.

    Please advice. IM desperate for money on a new upgrade system and no waste.

    Hello

    HP OEM graphics cards are made by different manufacturers to HP specifications.

    If you want to try the new graphics cards and then contact the manufacturer and ask about compatibility with your specific motherboard and if the graphic card has a hybrid BIOS. (two issues)

    Not all models of the NVIDIA GTX 750 will take place in every PC.  The NVIDIA GTX 750 is a highly rated graphics card. Others come with a switch to toggle between UEFI and legacy mode and then some might claim to have a hybrid of video BIOS and some claim compatibility to PCI-E 1.1.

    The reality is that there is no guarantee that any particular graphics card will work in any particular PC, even if the graphics card works in other PC or even the same or similar model PCs. Know what the return policy is before you buy.

    A little-known secret MSI is that if the box is "stickers" with a logo of Windows 8 then the graphics card was supposedly a BIOS hybrid.

  • Satellite L350 - where to find the latest driver for graphics card?

    I have a Satellite L350.
    I installed a game (EVE online) and it works as it should; However when I use alt - tab, the game crashes.
    It is not supposed to do this, and on the other PC it does not crash.

    I contacted the technical support for the game itself, and after reading my dxdiag, they concluded that it was because my drivers are up to date.

    They said specifically the graphics and audio drivers are the cause of the problem.
    I have a Mobile Intel (r) 4 series express chipset family graphics card, and the driver is dated 06/12/2008.
    my sound card is realtek audio and is dated 11/02/2006.
    I tried to update the graphics card on the site of intel, but the program tells me the installation was not validated for this computer and I had to contact the manufacturer.

    Anyone know where to find the updates compatible with computers laptop toshiba?

    Yours sincerely,
    LTA

    Hello trouble

    Please remember you have laptop and not of office. What you have done is just and it will help with the office, but on laptops, the situation is very different.
    Graphics card is suitable for the use of the laptop by Toshiba and downloaded driver from the manufacturer of the graphics card can not be installed.

    As you know probably common problem with laptops is heat and temperature of the material must be controlled. Graphics card too high temperature can ends with overheating and book cut or damage the equipment. Toshiba laptop to protect material must ensure on the pilots and don t allow to run on the limit.

    I must also say that your laptop is not game machine.

  • Satellite M40x-189: on the HARD drive and graphics card update Question

    Hi people just a few quick questions.

    1. a second hard drive can I be mounted on the cell above?... it came with a 60 GB HARD drive
    graphics mobile geforce or ati 2. can / will be mounted instead of the integrated graphics card?

    the answers would be greatly appreciated.

    Hello

    It is not possible to upgrade or replace the graphics card. The graphics card is a small chip that attaches to the motherboard. It s not the same technology as on desktop computers.
    Upgrading the HARD drive is something different. It of possible to replace the HARD drive to another. But before you replace the HARD drive, you must check if the HARD disk is compatible and if the BIOS will recognize.
    Sometimes the BIOS cannot recognize the hardest.

    Good bye

  • The Qosmio X 500 graphics card problem?

    I have a Qosmio x 500 since end of December 2010, and sometimes it will suddenly stop responding, give a black screen, then come back. After that, I get an error message saying that the graphics card has had a problem, but has recovered.

    I am also getting a problem when I leave it running, close the lid and come back some time later - 1 or 2 hours - to find that it will not be "waken upward" when I open the cover and I have to unplug and remove the battery to kill power before I can then reboot? Pressing any button does nothing except to put the lights on the keyboard!

    My X 500 does look under warranty?

    Hello

    I think that the error message is created by the graphics driver.
    I had a similar problem in the past on my old laptop from another production.
    This laptop supports the Intel graphics chip and I could resolve this install another graphics card driver.

    I recommend you first the version of the BIOS installed on your 500 X.
    If the most recent BIOS is available, try to upgrade to the latest version.
    In many cases, the new BIOS might resolve a reactivation of the questions.

    Update the display driver could be interesting as well

    After that, you could check the functionality of the laptop if the questions would not solve, you could get in touch with a local technician to ASP and check the laptop under warranty conditions.

    Dude good luck
