Help shop for a graphics card for me!

Hello

I just got a good deal on a new HM 2713 Ultrasharp while also recently getting a Ultrasharp 2412. 2 soft monitors, but my XPS 7100 (1055 t, 460 Watt power) has to a Radeon 5450 graphics card. Dell just sent me another DVI - D cable, because one wouldn't connect to DVI-connector (is it broken? I don't know-single link DVI fits, Dual Link DVI is loose and does not connect.) Nevertheless, the 5450 isn't compatible Eyefinity, a real disappointment when I bought 3 years ago. I think I need a new GPU to have all 3 monitors (my 3rd monitor a Viewsonic old, pre - HD LCD). About me:

-Not a gamer. Just need each monitor to run at native resolution (2560 x 1440 at the HM 2713) and play HD movies decently, or just for "hundreds" of websites, I have open at any given time.

-J' love peace, that's why I love passively cooled cards. I'm limited by power 460w anyway, so why not have a low-power consumer card that will support Eyefinity? (What I was hoping with the 5450).

The only one I see that seems to meet these requirements is the Sapphire Radeon HD 6450 Flex 1 GB. Seems to be a map similar to the 5450, although many more power draw max 212w (5450's energy consumption is 17w Max is that correct?), but still within its requirements for a 400w power threshold.

Is this who is right for me? Is there a better option?

Thank you.

The 2 GB model is the model 1 GB DDR5, DDR3 and so faster.

Congratulations on the new video card - let us know how it works.

    Hello

    Awesome!

    I love your photos of the installation.  They add knowledge to the community.

  • Could you help choose me a graphics card and RAM update for my 2010 computer (capable CS6)?

    I have an old computer for 2 years since November 2010.   I bought it as a performance of office but not like a video editing machine (I entered the DSLR videography in summer 11').

    Here are my current features:


    Windows 7 64 bit

    C: drive (7200 RPM) for the OS/programs and export/output destination. PP & AE CS5.5

    D: Media Player Source images 1.5 TB Caviar Black @7200 RPM 6.0 GB/s

    12 GB of Ram

    CPU i7-2600 to 3.4 GHz

    ATI Radeon HD 5570 Graphics Card.

    I'm saving for CS6 production premium so I would like to update some of the components of my machine to cope with confidence.

    I would go for 24 GB of Ram... it's enough for me right? 32 is necessary for me?   BTW, I am only editing DSLR video files. No files of camera as RED etc.

    Secondly, I need a solid videocard PP/AE (CUDA) GPU acceleration to edit videos with the applied effects, in a buttered smooth playback that bogged my material.

    I don't know where to start with graphics cards, I know not much about them, or what to look for when buying a solid graphics/video card? The Nvidia GTX 660ti is good for me in this circumstance?

    Summary:

    RAM?

    Card video graphics... suggestions?

    All for CS6 PP/AE

    1. the i7-2600 is a locked CPU, which means that overclocking can only be done by modifying the BCLK parameter, which is not easy. The i7 - 2600K is an unlocked CPU, so overclocking is a simple matter of changing the multiplier in BIOS.

    2. the Ti 660 is currently the best map REGION (bang-for-the-buck) IMO. It is a great card in combination with the i7-2600, but of course may be extended to a new system without problem when the time comes.

    3. I would only watch 1 TB disks, since they have the best ratio of $/GB without costing an arm and leaving most unused space. 2 or 3 disks to have even better $/GB ratio, but it is questionable to know if you would need so much space.

    To save money on my own version, I resorted to the drives of 1 TB only, although I thought initially to 2 TB drives, but finally I opted for drives of 1 TB enterprise. See planning and construction of a new NLE system.

  • Need help with the new graphics card

    So my trusty GTX 555 is finally dying after 4 years and 10 000 + hours so I looked in an upgrade and heard the GTX 960 would be a good upgrade for an Alienware x 51 R1. So I got a PNY GeForce GTX 960 Amazon and installed but when I turn on my system it passes to the BIOS screen and is there for about a minute and a half and it beeps every 30 seconds after the screen came. After the minute and a half or two then goes to a black screen and says the brand and model of graphics card in the upper left corner for about 5 seconds, then he sits on a black screen. I did something wrong?

    If necessary system specs:
    330W POWER SUPPLY
    Intel Core i7 2600
    8 GB RAM
    Windows 7

    Have you updated the BIOS?

  • Help choose a new graphics card

    I have a HP Pavilion Elite d5100t, which came with a Geforce 9800 GT 1 GB graphic card and 450 W Power Supply, purchased 2 years ago. It has come to my attention lately that my video card for some reason any is dying slowly, causing my computer to freeze every day.

    I looked on new egg and see that an another Geforce 9800 same caliber is very reasonably priced, around $100, but I was wondering if my system has room for improvement.

    Y at - it all the other cards that are an improvement on the 9800 GT, that would be a simple Exchange, without needing a different PSU? I'm not sure how to determine needs in power, but from what I hear that HP puts power supplies in computers that just barely meet the power requirements of this particular system configuration.

    Any Suggestions?

    Very well. Delta is a reliable manufacturer, this power supply can certainly provide its rated power output. With 385W, you could go up to a Radeon 5850 and anything less powerful than (5750 and 5770). You can also get one of the new GeForce GTS 450. Just to be safe, I would avoid the GTX 460. Even if your power supply must be able to handle it, he can put in as a constraint of high load, and so it is not dangerous for the components, it's run more hot and more noisy.

  • Help with the new graphics card on old pc

    I have a dell dimension 3000 'ya I know sad' I would like to add a graphics card and a new soft power since the wife won't let me buy a new PC GRRRR

    I have a GeForce 6200 PCI 256 MB dcr2 it will work in this pc

    I also bought a power electric double w 480 SATAs is large enough to run the new card and the pc?

    Thank you

    You can add the 6200 PCI if you wish.  It does not require an upgrade of the power supply however.  It will work fine on your PSU 250 watts.  I have the 6200 circulating in a Dell with a 250W unit just to get the higher resolutions than the integrated graphic card has been able to provide in support of a monitor.

  • Newbie need help with the old graphics card Dell Dimension 2400

    Hi all

    Happy to discover this community and I hope I can get some answers here. Is there ANY video there card that would allow me to see the images that was shot in 1080 p on my old Dell Dimension 2400? Your help is very much appreciated here.

    Thank you.

    Nicolas

    Hi NICOLAS,.

    Motherboard Dell Dimension 2400 does not come with AGP slot or slot PCIex16. You will have to look out for PCI video cards, but most of the cards are low profile cards. You won't get a FHD 1080 p resolution.

  • Recommendation for the graphics card?

    Can anyone help with what the graphics card, I need for smooth playback MP4?

    I begin barely using files of my new Sony NEX-5 mp4 and edit in PE and find that my computer will not play them without jerking (this is not really a problem of items that I have the same problem in Quicktime and other media players). Playing .avi files is fine. Can anyone recommend what graphics card I could buy to get a smooth playback? (I have the latest version of the driver for my old card and it is now classified as a legacy).

    Details:
    Windows XP Pro SP3
    Two Intel 3.2 GHz processors
    3.00 GB RAM
    ATI Radeon 9600 graphics card

    New card must be compatible with my Matrox RT. X 100 video card.

    Thank you very much

    MP4, as AVCHD files are highly compressed and take a LOT of power to play smoothly, because the CPU has to decompress the video images during playback of calculation

    That decompression is not made by the graphics card... your machine likely never has simply not enough power to play smooth... especially as is the case with all stakeholders

    Also, what is the configuration of your hard drive?

    My 3 hard disks are configured as... (WD = Western Digital)
    1-320G WD Win7 Pro 64 bit and all program installs
    2 - 320G WD Win7 file and video project files
    3 - 1 t WD all video files... read and write files
    .
    Try to use only a hard for video editing
    .
    You are a conductor with a stick that you use to point to different parts of the Orchestra... it is like Windows pointing to different parts of the hard disk to clean Windows or load segments of emissions for various functions
    .
    Now, at the same time and with the same hand... while using the wand to direct the Orchestra... to take a bow and play a violin... it would do something with your video file at the same time as all other work
    .
    You as a person cannot do both at the same time with the same hand
    .
    A computer is a LITTLE better, because it allows to switch from one type of task to another very quickly, but not quickly enough for easy video editing
    .
    A hard drive is not as good as two which is not as good as three

  • External graphics cards

    Hello.

    I was wondering if someone could help me with external graphics cards. I don't know anything about them. I have an Ideapad Y650. Any help is appreciated.

    Sorry I do not well understand what you mean by.

    I did a test on can you run for Starcraft 2 beta.

    The most cost-effective way to upgrade is actually to get the vidock DIY and an ATI 5770. But the drawback here is that the game should be run by an external monitor.

  • DirectX and graphics card is not compatible?

    my graphics card ATI mobility radeon 5470 card works very well with directx 11 and all of a sudden it no longer works. I can't use screen saver or play games more. When I try to set up a screen saver, it says something like: "the screen saver can't run because it requires a more recent or direct3d-compatible video card.

    How is it not compatible when it worked fine back then? I checked my directx diagnostic tool and the direct3d is enabled. I checked the Device Manager, the video card is enabled and seems to be recognized by my laptop. I also tried to update the driver, and he said that it is already the latest version, so there is no more updated.

    my laptop is the windows operating system 7 and I really need to solve this problem very soon without having to cost a lot. HELP PLEASEEE

    When you "tried to update the driver" - you do it through Windows itself?  If so, like many others here will tell you, Microsoft was not making your video card - their support for her is superficial at best.  Go to the manufacturer.

    For example...

    You can try:

    Where you can check the driver appropriate for your operating system is installed.  Can - as strange as it may seem - it must remove device from the device completely (uninstall it, delete the driver) Manager so that you can - before restarting, and to what will be a difficult to use the resolution, very probably - run the above, get the driver generic for your chipset and install it.

    The other option is to go to your OEM - supplier of origin - which essentially is the brand name of your laptop.  Their web page - usually the support and downloads - section will be the last driver that they support.

    The thing about Windows 7 integrated driver update - my recommendation is to ignore it.

  • 4-1100se graphics card ENVY

    I got this laptop, really happy with it except - there graphics intel 4000. I'm a noob when it comes to hardware, but is it possible to update the graphics on this machine, or 'Add' another graphics card? If Yes, then what graphics card it will support?

    Thank you!

    Hello

    Unfortunately no way you can Add a video card on your machine or close to 100% of the laptops. Buy a new machine, if you want a better graphics card. With the help of USB external graphics card can be another option.

    Kind regards.

  • Help on graphics card memory and upgrade for iMac

    Hello!

    I need advice on a good new graphics card for iMac 27 inch end 2012. My work is mainly in animation, Visual effects and game development soon, so I need an additional card to increase my speed.

    Currently, I have a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680MX 2048 MB card. Do you think I should stick to a similar card? Is there something new that will offer me better performance at an affordable cost?

    I don't have much money to spend, but I can certainly use additional graphics now.

    I have also 2 remaining memory locations that accepts DDR3 1600 MHz memory module, but it seems that this module is no longer available. If I had to choose between a graphics card and RAM, which should I go with?

    Finally, can I install these myself? I don't have any Apple Store around me and I do not trust the computer guys in my area.

    First of all, the iMacs are notoriously difficult to make something with except add RAM. Here is a good site where you can get some info on the dismantling, etc.:

    https://www.iFixit.com/

    Usually, graphics cards should be replaced with the same model/type of work (if any) - see above site for this kind of info. I'm quite sure that you cannot add just one - iMac is not designed for it.

    Regarding the RAM, just check out OWC for necessary RAM:

    https://eShop.MacSales.com/shop/memory/iMac/2012_27/DDR3L

    Check that your model is listed. I don't know where you would have been told that the RAM is no longer available (FWIW, Apple does not sell RAM and uses of third party RAM in the new Macs).

    I'd go with the RAM - how many do you have now? Adding RAM is easy.
