GPU question

Hello!

I was snooping through my desktop specs and have discovered that I can use one chip integrated as my GPU and other. I'm not too familiar with PC hardware, but that's mostly why I'm here.

My PC: a4317c

A built-in chip: nVidia GeForce 6150SE

My question is, if I were to buy a 7870 PowerColor (http://www.powercolor.com/Global/products_features.asp?id=446), it would be compatible with my desktop computer?

That's all for now.

Thank you

Peter

Peter, welcome to the forum.

No, it will not work for two main reasons: 1) it is 9.5 "in length which may be too long to enter in the space provided (I recommend not more than 9".) and 2) requires a power supply (PSU) at least 500W of power.

The power supply of the computer is only 250W.  Therefore, an upgrade of the power supply would be necessary, too.  I love OCZ and Corsair PSU's.  They will provide clean and stable power to the computer.  You should buy one with at least 500W; 600W is better for future updates.

Here are the specifications of the card on Newegg.  I use Newegg because they have the best list of all their product specifications.

I would recommend XFX, EVGA, Sapphire and video PNY cards in that order.  I came to this conclusion, many hours on amateur / overclocking forums.  If you are looking for another video card that you like, let me know.  I'll give him once.

  • P100-115 linux / gpu question

    Yesterday, I installed suse 10.1 on my P100-115 (T2300, nvidia 7600). Installation went smothly and everything works. But after a while I noticed that the fan on the left side never turns (I guess that's for the graphics card). I thought this nvidia driver will help, so I installed. After that I installed the driver I could see the temperature of the GPU, and it was 85 C I tried a game and he climbed above 90 C. I started to go back to windows and the fan on the left began to blow immediately with a max speed, so I guess it was a little warm inside :). Now, I would like to know if anyone had similar problems on linux (I hope that someone else is using linux). And also I noticed that the rear fan starts running when the CPU temperature reached 65 C. Isn't this a bit high. Anyone know if it is possible to check the temperature of the GPU in windows. I tried a few programs, but they all only to see CPU temp (ACPI)

  • CPU/GPU question

    So I installed a new processor (Intel Core i7 - 4820 K CPU @ 3.70 GHz) and now my GPU (not GTX 780 Ti superclocked), heats up very quickly. All my drivers are up to date. Could this be a power supply problem? My PC is an Aurora R4 btw.

    Alienware-Naomi

    38 c is normal and does not indicate that there is a problem of overheating or power.

    You should also check the temperatures during stress (landmarks, demanding games or running applications) and monitor any kind of performance problems.

    The problem has been resolved. I didn't downgrade vanilla ti no 780. And now it works very well, regardless of the stress that I put on it. Thanks to everyone for their help!

    Hello

    I currently have my rMBP mid-2014 15 "for over 2 years and I start noticing screen artifacts arise.

    Any program iam at or it load is turned on. Every now and then a line/zone flashes black or scratched.

    What could this be? The laptop has never been dropped or anything?

  • Question of graphics 3D Satellite A300-23d

    I bought a Satellite A300-23d about 4 weeks ago. I use my laptop for graphics and the game. I used it with no problems at all during the first 2 weeks. But later, during the game Anno 1404 suddenly some scattered polygons and textures purpleish appeared. I thought it is the result of the game. But I started to see these artifacts in all games. Now, I can't yet play 3D games on my pc. After you start a game, I see a yellow-red-purple checkered kind on my screen and polygons get spiky.

    It looks like a hardware malfunction. Because I tried the update of drivers and hard drive recovery. It is getting worse day after day. Windows works perfectly fine (except that I got approximately 4 BSOD) but I can't play 3D games! What can I do? The only solution I think it gives for repair. I get the objects even when you play with powerplay (underclocked). It is not a heat problem. And if you ask, I'm not overclocking my laptop. With the help of stock parameters.

    Hello

    BSOD is a sign of hardware or software problem and eventually it s related to the GPU question
    If the new OS didn't install help, I'd recommend contacting the guys of ASP.

  • Satellite Pro A300 - blue snow on screen

    After about 20 months trouble free operation, my Satellite Pro A300 has developed an intermittent failure annoyingly screen appears where a scattering of blue pixels, most noticeably on a white background. Generally any form of action (including a proverbial "click") clears the screen until the next time it happens.

    Any idea what's going on? Any help appreciated.

    > Generally any form of action (including a proverbial "click") clears the screen until the next time it happens.
    Means that they are not dead pixels or something like that in this case, it could be a graphics related issue.
    Have you tested this external monitor? Pixels appear on the second screen?
    If so, then this might be a GPU question

    But you can also check if an update of the driver can be useful of course the old driver must be uninstalled and then the new driver update must be installed.

    However, it smells like a hardware problem, so I'm not sure if a driver update that would improve

  • Tecra S5 - problem with windows startup

    2 days ago I installed windows 7 on my laptop, my old windows vista with a clear system in shape and I installed the display drivers for windows 7 on the official website of toshiba.

    It worked fine for a day, and then suddenly I got a message saying that the graphics driver has stopped working and the computer crashed.

    After the restart during the windows loading screen shows only blue lines and nothing more happens, he starts not or anything like that. I tried to reinstall windows 7 and install the vista drivers this time, in the hope there is a problem with the drivers, but no luck, it crashed again as soon as I restarted if necessary after installing the drivers.

    Then, given that nothing worked, I used the product for windows XP Recovery disk provided with the laptop, but again after the first reboot, windows not loading not but this time it restarts itself automatically after a certain time.

    Anyone got any ideas what's happening?

    PS: Sorry for the big post, but I'm desperate, because I need my computer for work Monday

    Hello

    I'm afraid this could be a serious hardware problem m.
    To me, this looks like a GPU (graphics chip) problem.
    That would explain the lines on the screen and the problems with the installation of the system.

    It would be the worst case. Defective graphics chip cannot be replaced because it s soldered on the motherboard.

    Well, what to say, you could get in touch with a local technician to verify the parts but I think it is s GPU question

  • Every day bogged down: how to purge my Clipboard without closing illustrator?

    I really need Illustrator to be consistently fast throughout the day.  The program quickly GET bogged down in less than an hour and starts to slow down. I guess it's because my Clipboard. I produce about 15 to 20 projects a day and sometimes open several libraries with 5-10 work plans. My solution is to have a daily timer to remind me to close the program and restart every hour. I also only keep vector images in my library. No imagery. I do not allow pixelation effects to apply to one of my libraries as they slow things way down. I have at least 5-7 other tactics to keep illustrator functioning. Even if I only have a single file open at the time, the Clipboard gets full quickly. I also treat my Macbook Pro as a motor. I do not keep all the files on the computer and use the libraries of files based cloud and external hard drives for 100% of all my files. I have a high-end graphics card that allows me to have 10 programs open at the same time, if I need to.  I never do well.

    Illustrator is the only program that slows down after continuous use. This is my number one for my business program. I lose regularly one hour a day with my need to clear the Clipboard, close the program and restart the program several times a day.

    No alternative workaround you can think? I'm debating buying another computer and tie them together and I have two programs illustrator open. Really want to spend the extra money.

    do you need a little more RAM?

    I understand that its all good at the beginning of a session, but perhaps she is responsible in all the tools and functions, you must use, it gets to the point were in fact you don't have enough ram to run along?

    I thought cloud and libraries external is not helping, especially if you have the automatic backup / recovery tries to access the network files all the time.

    you might do better to keep the files you are workign on a local drive?

    I know laptop HARD drive are pretty slow (stock), except if you have PCIE or SSD equipped?

    If you HDD, I would spend a quid on a SSD outside of all other settings that make you the computer work for your situation, the only upgrade makes a huge difference for almost everything. you get up an even greater still from there hump to a PCIE drive.

    I currently have 2 copies of the Illustrator running at the same time, 19.1.0 and 19.2.1 just because they alternate between being totally useless and crashing waaaay too (GPU question google says), but it allows me to continue to work faster that one version bails out...

    you might find an alternative version that works better, as I found that 19.1.0 is much more stable and perhaps another version wont drain resources such as your current version?

    obviously be better for it to work, but maybe something to blunt pain, using an alternative version until you work out whats going on?

  • So, what is still all disk cache stuff?

    Can someone explain to me what exactly is the AE disk and cache when it is used?

    Why am I ask, so, my disk cache was full and I had to make, so I was uncertain if the cache clearing will shall return to go faster (more), or if leaving it will it go faster (more cache memory to use, actual calculation time), so exactly how and what option would be better? Clean or not clean before you return?

    Which is also in line behind media and database for this? This consistent cache can be on the same ssd as cache drive?

    And then, why multiprocessing takes twice as long on my CPU 4930 K? This feature is better suited to double-xeon systems? When one use it?

  • Question GPU on Qosmio G30

    I have a problem - it seems that the GPU is fried on my Qosmio G30.
    But the problem is that I bought my laptop in Russia and now I'm in the United States.

    So the question is - is it possible to repair my unit in the United States?

    Hello

    All Toshiba laptops are covered by a warranty one year international limited in the workshop.

    Since it is an international interest, the laptop could also be repaired in the United States.
    That s my personal opinion.

    But everything else should be clarified with the authorized service provider.

    So, my recommendation is. Contact the ASP United States and ask for later handling.

    Goodbye & good luck

  • E30 GPU Intel HD Graphics P3000 and GTX560Ti... Question?

    I managed successfully to adapt to an Asus GTX560Ti CUII 1 GB DDR5 card in the tiny bowels of my E30.

    I also upgraded to an ACE 'Black edition' 650BR 650w POWER supply unit. things work well for the moment in any case.

    I use the GPU GTX560Ti to an iRay CUDA renderer in 3DS Max 2013.

    Question...:

    Can I operate the monitor off the chip integrated Intel HD P3000, while having the GTX560Ti recognized by the E30 in the form of secondary card?

    I tried the BIOS setting for 'Video' of the 'AUTO' to "IGD" or what was the abbreviation for switching internal GUI. Then I plugged the via VGA in connector of the card mother VGA monitor to the rear. It starts up fine, but when I run 3DS Max 2013 he couldn't find the map GTX560Ti on the inside.

    I can run BIOS 'Video' as 'AUTO', and the GTX560 card works well as a main card. I want to just run as a secondary card, in order to free up memory cards to render iRay rather than be a Windows display adapter.

    Any help or ideas?

    Thank you

    Well with the IGP as primary; from the start the desktop both resident boot Asus graphic apps (SmartDoctor and GPUTweak) have both reported the lack of card. I went to start 3ds Max and entered in the dialog iRay, scrolled down and where the GPU was usually selectable was now empty. I assumed, and quite, not companies in the PC card.

    Anyway, I seem to have fixed "memory" problems to tweak some settings in Max;

    memory and performance parameters/bitmap /Render options/bitmap proxies on and systems / make with proxies.

    (This adjustment clips and reduction textures not visible within the limits of the object they are applied to so that it loads less bitmaps in memory cards)

    I also used a third party called PolygonCrusher application to reduce the number of polygons and so faces to load into memory too. That dropped the polygons around 50% without any significant artifacts.

    Everything works fine now, and on doubts, I also like boost GUI I get in applications to use as primary GTX560. Maybe when the budget of departments is reset next year I'll put in an order for a 2 GB card, but for now I think I've got it sorted at a performance level that is achievable.

    Thanks for your help, Erik

  • questions of XPS 8500 to run 2 gpu

    my system: XPS 8500 Intel i7 3770 processor, Intel chipset AMD 7850 GPU H77

    I looked and looked on the site of Dell and in my textbooks and I can't find what is my 8500 power supply?  It is 460 watts?  I hope not :)

    Is the motherboard AMD Crossfire capable?   Do you think that there is enough physical space to hold 2 7850 cards?

    Thanks for the help!

    Tina

    Hi Tina,

    The power supply comes with 8500 XPS is 460W.

    The motherboard is not able to AMD Crossfire. You will have to perhaps change the motherboard and the power supply for the Crossfire configuration work. You may also change the chassis the chassis 8500 XPS is not large enough to accommodate a motherboard capable of SLI or Crossfire configuration with two graphics cards.

    I hope this helps. Answer please if you have any questions.
