Game freeze... I should update the video card?

Compaq Presario 061 Model - PP195AA - ABA SR1300NX Type of NA511 - X 86-based PC (Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition). Newer games with complex animations are gel to the top of my machine. I think I need to upgrade the video card. If that's true, this what should I update with and should I update anything else to ensure the uninterrupted right game?  Thank you for helping me.

DC, welcome to the forum.

The computer being 7 years old, I think not a video card would help.  The maximum amount of memory system that will support the motherboard is 1 GB.  It is not enough to run one of the newest games.  In addition, the processor is not capable of those running, either.  I suggest saving your money for a new computer.

  • Pavilion A6724C must update the video card, suggestions?

    My son wants to be able to play COD on my pc, but the video card from the factory is the way to slow. Can you suggest a replacement card which is decent for the games but not super expensive or require changes to the power supply?  Thanks for any help.

    Hello

    There is the version of 512 MB ddr5 on the link below.

    There may be differences between the marks.  The main factor that govern what will work in your PC's power supply 300W - you should know the minimum requirement of the power supply of the card that you intend to buy, as anything that requires more than 300W is unlikely to work properly, or not at all.

  • Update the video card in Battlefield 3 for XPS 410?

    Hey all,.

    I have a question about upgrading the video card in my XPS 410.  I am currently using a nVidia GeForce 9500 GT video card, which has served me well for purposes of casual games.  However, I like to play Battlefield 3, but according to the nVidia website, this video card does not meet the minimum specifications.  So there is another card that I could update?  I am seriously thinking to buy a new PC in the fall, so I don't want to spend too much money on a new map (especially considering that my PC is long in the tooth that is).  In my view, that the XPS 410 has a 375W PSU, which also complicates things.

    Any suggestions?  nVidia or Radeon is fine.

    Thank you!

    Scott

    You would be a mistake.  Many have used the HD 6770 their Dell 375 Watt power supplies.  The HD 6770 would be a card game much better on the HD especially for BF3 6670.   You will use probably not much more than a total of 250 watts for your system in the game and even less if not.   The recommended minimum of card is the 8800 GT and HD 6670 is probably just equal to it.  However, the HD 6770 exceeds it so I think you'll be much happier.  Here's one that I would consider.  He has a $20 rebate.

  • You will need to update the video card in my hp a1240n.

    We have an integrated video card, but I need graphis better to play better games. Can I install a geforce 8400 gs?

    Wisterial, welcome to the forum.

    Yes, you can upgrade to a PCI (NOT PCI Express 16 x or AGP) 8400 GS.  You have only three PCI slots.  Now for the things to consider.  You should check the power of the power supply unit (PSU).  You can do this by opening the case and by reading the label on.  The 8400 GS I found required a minimum of 300W.  If your PSU is equal or greater to 250W, this one would work.  Most of the manufacturers overstate the power necessary for the performance of their cards.

    There are many PCI cards available, but they are not very good for the games.  If you buy one, you should consider switching at least 2 GB of memory, too.  Crucial is a good place to buy it.

    Let us know if you need more help.

  • Updated the video card, lost my audio devices

    Hi, I'm running a Dell Precision T5400, and I upgraded my Nvidia GeForce GTX 380 for a Nvidia GeForce GTX 480 video card.  Now I have no sound.  The Audio Control Panel applet claims that I have no audio hardware.  In the Device Manager my sound, video and game controllers list the following:

    NVIDIA High Definition Audio (4 times)

    Audio codecs

    Legacy Audio drivers

    But nothing indicating a question or a problem, that it is as if the physical audio device simply disappeared.  Because the operating system does not even see anything to have a problem with, I don't know how to troubleshoot further.  I suspect that the Audio of HD, NVIDIA is because the system now expects 4.Supporting audio over HDMI?  Just a guess.  Anyone seen this before?

    Mason

    Change Audio settings embedded in the BIOS of 'auto' on 'on '.  By selecting "on", it provides the integrated audio system is to be recognized and used as primary.

  • Update the video card, for P6654Y

    Howdy;

    I have a P6654Y I think to upgrade the video on so I can play Diablo 3.  He plays now, but it is slow.  I am running Windows 7 Home Premium with Service Pack 1; 4 GB of RAM.

    I think to put in the nVidia GTX 560ti as well as a new power supply 600w, but am unsure of compatibility with the motherboard (RS880-Μatx N-Alvorix);  the current video (integrated ATI Radeon 4200) said it supports PCIe 16 x; the 560ti is PCIe 2.0 x 16... which is a problem?

    Will be the new card / PSU combo works?  I would also consider the 550ti, or even the upgrade on my other machine (Pentium 4 3.0 ghz) if the 6654 is too risky.

    Also, as far as the processor goes, minimum of Diablo 3 is an AMD Athlon 64 X 2 4400 +; I have AMD Athlon II x 4 630.  They are in the same stadium?

    Thank you!

    Excellent.  Thanks for the quick response!

  • Need to update the video driver card but see no updates available

    Recently, I downloaded minecraft. I played only once and I know that its law does not. I had to lower the acceleration so it will play. Someone told me "if I have to lower the acceleration so I have to update my video card." I tried to update, but when I try it says I have no update available. Also my current v-card is a intel gm965. Help, please.

    * original title - my computer cannot update video card but he can't play minecraft as it should. What should I do? *

    Hi Craig l. Williams,.

    Have you checked on the website of the manufacturer directly?  If you bought it separately from the video card you want to navigate to the Intel Web site.  If it is preinstalled on your system, you want to go to the Web site of the manufacturer of the system for the updated drivers.
