The right video card for me?
I have a budget about $50, and is there a video card for gamers, that is around $50, a video card that can handle like Half-Life 2 or source games, and other games related to using the source engine.|||$50 isnt enough for a graphics card to play those games.|||Nvidia GeForce XFX 8600 GT.
Its really cheap but exteremly good
I run all the source games fine on it just make sure you have a good processor because most Source games are processor dependant and you dont want your PC bottlenecking because of a bad processor.
Also if you are looking for an ATI GFX card then the ATI Radeon HD 4850 is the way to go. Its a little steep with your budget but VERY cheap for being one of the best cards out there right now.
Hope I helped best of luckl!|||Good choice going for the Source Engine Games... They are some of the best games, and one of the fastest running engines.
Would suggest buying the Orange box, and Left-4Dead
For your video card. $50 is a little low,
but try to get something at least in the nvidia 8000 or newer range and and you'll be more than fine with all the current source games.
btw I have 7950 GX2 Nvidia, and can run all of the source games at high frame rates, with settings high and fairly high resolution.
If you are having trouble finding any at the right price range, try ebay. But if you can't find one for the price, then don't cheap out.. wait a little longer and save up for a better card. In the long run, you'll appreciate it.

I use a PCI winnov card on my PC, witch makes sharing video better than USB. Are there any for laptops?
I just want to know how hard it is to intagrate a pci video card into my laptop. (such as winnov) There is software out there that allows USB camera's to share the Video streams with different applications, but it's not always compatible with some sites. However the Winnov i have on my desktop has no problem sharing, plus i like to use my camcorder when doing my live video streams.. Any idea on this or any problems that might be encountered.?

Best video card for my motherboard and cpu setup?
ASUS M4A89GTD PRO AM3 AMD 890GX SATA 6Gb/s HDMI ATX AMD Motherboard
AMD Phenom 2 965 black edition quad core processor
8GB corsair ddr3 ram
I do some gaming but not much. I want a card for around 75 bucks or less, nothing crazy.|||Used is you best bet for that cash.|||I would definitely suggest that you spend less money on that lot, even if you aren't playing many games. Get a Phenom II X4 955, saves a bit of money and it's still a black edition and so on, just has a very slightly lower clock speed (can fix this with some tiny overclocking). I would consider the Asus M4A88T-M/USB3 motherboard, still features USB3 and SATA 6GB/s but is cheaper and so on.
Hardly anyone needs 8GB of RAM at the moment, for most 4GB is fine. For running games, virtual machines, Photoshop, video editing, etc. 4GB is still enough. Just get a 2x2GB kit now and then grab another later if you need more RAM.
Anyway, once you've made savings on those things you should be able to easily fit in an HD 5770 1GB, possibly a GTX 460 1GB. Those would be my recommendations. $75 isn't a lot for a graphics card.|||Since you've bought such a system it'd be a shame to put a cheap $75 graphics card in it. If it was mine I wouldn't consider buying anything less than an NVidia GTX460 or a Radeon HD6850 for it.|||u might be able to find a bare minimun for waht u need for that price but i recomend getting a nvidia video card

What do I use to reattach a glued heatsink to a video card?
I had a heat sink fall off of a video card because of defective glue. What can I use to reattach it that will not melt and provide the cooling that I need..:)|||I assume you're talking about a heatsink with no clip-on. That would require something like this:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as…|||find new heatsink glue and re-glue it|||it's not glued it's heatsink conductive paste like your main chip use a TINY amount only and clip it back|||That glue was probably thermal paste. Provided this heatsink is a small one, a dab of this paste and a firm but not hard push and a few hours to settle will secure the heatsink to the chip. If it has mounting holes for a normal HSF and mounting, you may want to use that for it's better cooling ability.

Can a DDR2 CPU use a DDR3 video card?
I have an older computer (a Core 2 Duo E6300 to be exact) and I'm thinking of getting one of the new Geforce 9800 video cards but it says that it uses DDR3 SDRAM. I don't really know what that means, but I know that my computer uses DDR2 ram. Are they compatible?|||The memory on the video card is separate from rest of the system, so whatever type it is will not be an issue.
The card's internal workings do not affect the rest of the computer since it's wholly contained within the architecture of the card. The interface is what makes it compatible, even if the internals of the card are vastly different from the motherboard. You could have a GPU using quantum computing, and as long as the interface was PCI-e and the card works with an API like DirectX or OpenGL/CL, it will work.
It's like getting electricity from a socket...doesn't matter if the electricity was produced via gas burning or coal burning or solar energy, the result is still the same. It's a standard plug (PCI-e being the plug) and it will draw electricity no matter how it was made.|||It will work.
The DDR type in the graphic cards and the DDR type in the motherboards work completely separatly from each other, and therefor doesn't matter what DDR type that each other has.

What does a video card do?
What does a video card do? Like what is the difference between a geforce 7300 and a 7950gx2? Why is a $500 card better than a $50 card|||although it isnt, i like to think of a video card as being like a bi-lingual translator. the better translator u have, the better you'll be able to understand the person on the other side.
a 7950gx2 is a really fast graphics card and in performance it'll look something like this:
7950gx2: 150 fps (frames per second, the higher the #, the smoother the actions on the screen)
7300: 15 fps....
anything below 29.9fps is "not very smooth" to the human eye. also it is not the amount of onboard memory that matters, but the processor that they use on the board. a 512 mb cheap card will get killed by a 256 mb expensive card.
for the 2 cards...there aren't any extra features. they are both gaming cards and are used for that purpose|||A video card provides output to your monitor from whatever applications are being run on the PC. All video cards provide enough basic processing power to display the output from standard windows programs, but vary in their ability to process large amounts of video data, such as performing video or picture editing, or gaming.

Can a DDR2 CPU use a DDR3 video card?
I have an older computer (a Core 2 Duo E6300 to be exact) and I'm thinking of getting one of the new Geforce 9800 video cards but it says that it uses DDR3 SDRAM. I don't really know what that means, but I know that my computer uses DDR2 ram. Are they compatible?|||The memory on the video card is separate from rest of the system, so whatever type it is will not be an issue.
The card's internal workings do not affect the rest of the computer since it's wholly contained within the architecture of the card. The interface is what makes it compatible, even if the internals of the card are vastly different from the motherboard. You could have a GPU using quantum computing, and as long as the interface was PCI-e and the card works with an API like DirectX or OpenGL/CL, it will work.
It's like getting electricity from a socket...doesn't matter if the electricity was produced via gas burning or coal burning or solar energy, the result is still the same. It's a standard plug (PCI-e being the plug) and it will draw electricity no matter how it was made.|||It will work.
The DDR type in the graphic cards and the DDR type in the motherboards work completely separatly from each other, and therefor doesn't matter what DDR type that each other has.

Is there any way to upgrade my integrated video card?
i have an older Compaq and it has a integrated intel 810 graphics with uma driver. is there any way of upgrading to a better graphics card .. preferably with 3d capabilities.|||You should be able to buy a new graphics card and install that. Most newer computers will automatically turn off the onboard video when you install the new card, but sometimes you have to go into the bios and turn it off.
Make sure you buy the right card for the right kind of slot you have in your pc.|||buy a new video card to install. ATI and Nivida is the best.|||No. The only way to upgrade an integrated card is with drivers only, if available. What you will need to do is buy a new video card (PCI or AGP) and disable the intergrated card. This is the only way to get new capablities that the older card does not have.|||Sorry, you can't upgrade an onboard video card. The only thing you can do with it is keep its driver files up to date.
If you want better graphics, you'll have to go out and buy a plug in card for your machine.
