• Why upgrade my video card slow down my CPU performance?

  I have a HPE - 570T. Recently I have upgreaded video card a Radeon HD5450 for a GTX460 nVidia and also bought a 650 watt power supply. I did the benchmarks with the passmark software before and after. Why was my benchmark CPU 8100 before the upgrade and 7400 after the upgrade? Video card has been much faster from about 320 to 2300 for 3D applications well.

  Hi Spencer,.

  I didn't notice that a CPU issue when I installed my GTX 460 1 GB. I'm also using the Passmark Performance (64-bit) version 1019 software.  I have two marks with the same GTX 460 1 GB differnet. A reference point was about 7% more fast (Passmark rating) than the other criterion of reference.  I did RMA the first card to the manufacturer, which explains the two different references. 3D performance was the also the big change for me.  I have improved since the video drivers then perhaps it's time for an another landmark.

  You can send an email to the pass mark and ask what happened.

• Upgrade memory, video cards, flash drives? What is the best?

  I have a Toshiba Satellite L305 - S5957 bitb with Windows 7 32. I have a lot of downloaded games I play and my computer and he slowed down a lot. This is what seems to indicate that I can improve the performance by adjusting the Visual effects. A friend suggested to put all the games on a bunch of flash player adding another more Ram.Somebody suggested that I get a video card. How do I p [ay my games and still have enough memory to my computer run?] Here's what I spent my system for graphics.

  Hi Luggiana,

  your laptop is not a true "game system.

  (1) a graphics integrated solution as "Mobile Intel (r) 4 Series Express Chipset Family" is not sufficient for most 3D games. They can work but slowly and far from that possible framerates.

  (2) for most of the games, "available total graphics memory" is a phantom value. The only thing that matters is "dedicated graphics memory. In your case, which is 128 MB. Not bad for older games (2000-2006), but certainly too little for newer games (> 2006). Some games will not work with less than 256/512/1024 MB "dedicated RAM".

  (3) "computer memory" is a minor problem here. The 'shared RAM' will cut certainly some amount of your available RAM total but it won't help in problem gambling, and it is rare to play a game while performing other tasks consuming memory.

  (4) put the games to a flash (SSD) drive is also a strange idea. You will get more benefits if you put your operating system (Windows) on this subject. The operating system must respond to all the interventions of the user and program requests, here the speed is an issue. A game, on the other hand, follows its routines, it must store temporary data much, so relying on a certain minimum of RAM but things like quick / fast writes are not so important.

• Is it useful to transition from the Inspiron 531 to 530?

  I have an Inspiron 531 with an AMD Athlon 64 dual core 5600 + and I was thinking about upgrading to an Inspiron 530 with a Qual Core Q9300 CPU. If I do that, I'll install the Nvidia 8600GT and my Combo as well of the 531 player.

  Do you think that it would be useful? I love the 531, but I find it a little slow with Vista

  
  

• Need help on upgrading my video card

  I have an Inspiron 530 that I bought a little over a year and I would like to upgrade the video card so that it works better for some of the more recent games.

  Here are the specs:

  Processor, E6550 2.33, 4 MB Core Duo Kentsfield

  Hard disk, 500G, S2, 7.2 K, 16 M, unleaded, Seagate-GL

  Map, chart, 258 MRMGA 8600 + 3B

  3 GB RAM

  Vista 32

  So if I go to dell.com, sign in to my account and go to the updates section, I can see a load of video cards to buy. These cards will automatically work on my Dell? For example, I see the GeForce 9400 GT 1 GB DDR2 PCI-E 2.0 graphics listed, but this card will run on my system? Will I have enough power (I think I have 300 Watts, but am unsure of much else regarding my diet)? What is a good upgrade on my current card? What card graphics PCI-E GeForce 9500 GT DDR2 1024Mo?

  I really appreciate any help you can give me.

  Thank you!

  I can not quite on what you currently have the video card.  What is a 8600GT?  If so, the 9400GT would be a downgrade and the 9500GT would be better, but not by much.  All PCI Express X 16 video card is compatible with your system so much that this is not your diet too much stress.  Unless the price is right, you don't have to buy one from Dell.  I just compare prices all around and just do shopping for the best deal.  I have a 9600GT in my Inspiron 530, but I have the 350W power SUPPLY.  Usually, I suggest the ATI HD 4670 as video card, you can get that don't require any additional power connection's top performers and work with your power of 300W.  Do not consider the 9400GT if you want to play one of the games of today.   Here is a list of popular HD 4670 from Newegg and you can compare prices elsewhere including Dell.  Note that you do not have to get a 1 GB card unless you have a monitor high resolution, 1920 x 1080, because there is little difference in performance between the cards in 512 MB and 1 GB at this level.

• Question regarding upgrading my video card

  I have a PC HP Media Center m7674n that I bought in 2006. At the time, I upgraded the system to run with an HD ATI X 1950 Pro Video card (I think that a bigger power supply has been added).

  I still love the computer; However, I want to upgrade the video card of a new product from ATI.

  I love the new ATI, in particular ATI HD 5000 series but I'm not sure on how to proceed in accordance

  what might be the needs.

  Thank you.

  Unplug your computer and open it. Clean any dust using a can of compressed air.   Please keep in mind that your PC has good airflow through the air intake and exhaust.  Make sure that all fans of spin. You may run a heat problem.  Remember that you have the latest version of ATI video card driver.

  PC gaming is usually higher end models depending on how intense the game uses the material.  You have an older model of PC, so I have a new one for the game is not too far from the line.  If you go with a new PC then buy one with the largest video card, you can get.  Software game usually specifies the minimum requirements for the OK performance, assuming that no other software is loaded and executed (not the real world).

  A new video card and 2 GB of that memory can rise to $200 - $ 250.

  Hello

  If it is a laptop, you cannot change the video card. Only thing you can do is to
  of course, you have the most recent drivers. Laptops almost always have a built-in video device

  Check with the manufacturer of the laptop computer for updated video drivers.

  I hope this helps.

• Updated video card in 660 Inspiron does not?

  Okay, so I slapped him a new Gigabyte Radeon HD 6670 in my brand new inspiron 660... and nothing.  Windows 7 does not recognize it at all.

  So I say, bad card... send it back, get a new one, taken in the other, nothing.  Can't be two bad cards now I think.  Any ideas?  Help?

  Well, my computer is broken.  I installed an old video card and he would not recognize this card.  Then I said to myself, 'why not just try 6670 in the other new Dell you buy?'  So I did.  He immediately recognized the card and worked exactly as it is supposed to.  Canceled the order of power supply and call Dell to return the defective 660 for an Exchange with a working one.

• How to upgrade my video card driver?

  When you try to play solitaire, I tells me that I need to do now that I am on Windows 7.  The full message is:

  Material acceleratin is disabled or not supported by the video card driver.  Updated video card driver and turn on hardware accelerator

  Try to go to the site where your PC / netbook is supported.

  (especially the homepage to your brand. HP, dell, Asus,...)

  Maybe they have a driver for your video card support site.

  or you can try the Device Manager.

  Run "Devmgmt.msc".

  then search for your device. Try to upgrade to internet.

• Upgrade problems video card Alienware X 51

  I tried to upgrade my oem GTX 745 to a ti Evga 750.

  I uninstalled the driver 745 and I replaced the card. When the computer starts, I see the Alienware logo and it goes to a black screen.

  I have the version of the bios A10 and it starts normally with the 745.

  Also, I'm not able to access using Windows 10 F8 safe mode.

  All solutions?

  F8 does not work with Win 10. There are other ways to boot Win 10 in Safe Mode...

  You will probably get a better answer to your question from the video card if you re - post it in the forum of the Club of Alienware .

• Performance video card in Dell inspiron 3521 (i5 1.7 ghz, radeon hd 7650 m 1 GB, 6 GB ram, win 7)

  Hello guys. The configuration of my laptop is (1.7 ghz, radeon hd 7650 m i5 / intel graphics hd, 6 GB ram, win 7)

  My previous laptop was a Dell Inspiron 1520 with processor T7500 (gz 2 or 2.2, not sure, Nvidia GeForce 8800 m (256 MB) video card and 4 GB of ram, win xp)

  IM game called World of warcraft on my new laptop but I have question about FPS (framerate).

  Maximum FPS I can get is about 80, but is not stable, I mean FPS jump from 30 to 80 on low graphics. I rememmber, when I played Wow on my laptop previous, I had stable FPS of 60-80. Why? Radeon hd 7650 is more than 2 times better videocard for 8800 m from Nvidia.

  I try to use gamebooster (program to increase the performance of the game), but nothing helped. NVIDIA had beautiful Control Panel, where I can change all the settings to increase video card performance, but what a radeon? I installed the video card of the site drivers of official Dell but there like 4 options.

  Can someone explain to me. I sold my previous laptop, something that I'm going to get more powerful laptop, but now I feel like a fool.

  Hi Minioriginal,

  Please provide us with this information. All graphics applications of broad must be configured on high performance so that they use the video card ATI and Intel not one.

  Please select high performance and then launch the game and let us know the results of the same.

• Upgrading my video card

  Good then I want to update my video card in my current one... don't know exactly how I would have this approach. I don't want to just go and ask retailers initially that they could sell me something that is overpriced and not that great. Don't know what type of video card I want, but I will provide a few details end my computer and we can go from there.
  I have an AMD athlon II 2 250 processor processor - 2 X ~ 3.0 GHz
  Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit)
  NVIDIA GeForce 6150SE nForce 430
  Integrated RAMDAC
  Memory total approx. - 1912 GB
  Realtek HD audio
  Here is my card to my motherboard/Bios card:
  -CHIPSET AMD 1200 rev 0
  Card mother name: HP-Pavilion
  Motherboard model: AY014AA-ABL a4310f
  BIOS size: 1048576
  Name: Hewlett-Packard
  RAM - 4, 00 GB
  power supply 250W
  
  Don't know what else I would need to provide before I can even go ahead and think about buying a video card. Oh, I'm willing to spend more than $ 150 too if I need too. 200 would be to much but if I mean play Crysis (which is an old game now lol) and the only way I can is with a $ 200 card so that I don't really have a choice, I guess. I was trying to play the Chronicles of riddick and I saw my system not handling not really the game that well and it's an old game now that made me think I would def need a new video card.

  If you're a gamer?  Crysis is a cpu eater. However, a better video would be really useful, but to support a better video card will require a replacement of power supply.  Max 600 watts should be plenty.

  Review the specifications of performance ATI and NVIDIA . Look at the specifications of strip memory bandwidth and level of DirectX support.

  How to replace a video card.

  www.Newegg.com has a lot of power and video card blocks.  Choose a modular power supply with a performance rating of 80 + or higher. Try to find one that has the same physical dimensions as your current diet. Then do a measure to the inside of your PC around 16 x PCI-E slotso that you know what size card have to be considered.
