I Boot up my computer, It turns on. Fans are running etc, however my monitor does not turn on and I hear a long beep, followed by two sort beeps, is this my video card?|||video card doesnt have anything with monitor beeps come from cpu they doesnt come from speakers
first u remove main wire between cpu and monitor and dont disconnect power supply of monitor if u now switch on power box[current] u will get a message on monitor then ur monitor
is all right.one time i got similar problem like this i replaced the bioscards and ram correctly it solved my problem|||if you have an AWARD bios, yes that code means video adapter failure|||IBM BIOS= Video adapter, or video memory failed.
Quadtel BIOS= Faulty video configuration (no or bad video card installed), or bad ROM on a peripheral controller card (address range C0000 through FFFF

What video card do recommend for a Compaq Presario Pentium 4 SR2170NX with Vista Home Basic?
I'm going to be upgrading my computer's memory from 1GB to 2GB next week and I would like to upgrade the video card as well.
The computer came with ATI RADEON XPRESS 1100 128 MB (integrated graphics). I'm looking to purchase it from newegg.com. I would like to play some games and improve video quality and playback.
(Thanks to all who answered my previous question regarding memory upgrades ;-) )|||Ati HD4830 512DDR4 ; I have seen them work and they are very smooth running like the older 7800GT nVidia (DX9).|||I found this site that had a bunch of info on video cards like side by side comparable stats and which ones were the best for the money and brand. I think itll help you out, just click on the third link down.

HOpe it helps :)

Will this video card work with this motherboard?
I heard someone say that it won't, but they were not 100% sure. Can someone please clarify?

http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/…
And here's an XFX 4650 that's faster and has twice the memory for the same price as the one you mentioned.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as…|||I didn't really like the RAM..configuration on the Mobo..
===
The Video card seems OK..good reviews...

I've never played a PC Video game..
but from reading the Reviews at New Egg..
that Video card and Mobo sound..average..
I mean not really High Powered...
===
New Egg was suggesting XP-Home Edition for its OS...
which is a good OS,,,I would then wonder about running XP-Professional..the board seems a 800-MHz RAM choice...
I think that's what I would figure into all the reviews.[end]|||Yes. It should run fine.|||Yes, it will work. If you plan on gaming, though, I'd suggest something a bit more powerful, like a 4830 or 4850.

I was thinking of getting a 4890 Radeon video card for my PC?
I have a 4850 in there now. My questions are;
1. Would I get much of a performance gain?
2. Is there anything different about the 4890 that might make it incompatible with my PC? Is the card much larger, or does it require a different connection than the 4850?|||The 4890s are a similar size to the 4850/4870, as more are produced then size range will grow as well (think silent coolers, CrossfireX configuration etc).
To be honest why would you want to upgrade now? 4890s have only been out a little while, give it a few more months for the price to drop a bit and some better variations to be made available to the general public.
The speed difference and performance improvement is around 15% over the 4850 but for the cost its not worth it yet.
the 48XX series of cards are rocking and AMD are rightfully proud of them, they are just a bit price heavy at the moment.
Remember getting a better graphics card is not always the answer especially if you have bottlenecks elsewhere in your system (such as RAM or processor).|||The question you should ask yourself before upgrading is: Is this necessary? Did you recently purchase a new game or a new monitor with a very high resolution and are you now noticing low framerates which adversely affect your ability to game?
If not, then stick with the 4850 until you do feel it's necessary to upgrade. This way you save money and end up with a better upgrade when the time comes.
If you do feel it's time to upgrade, then the 4890 could be a good choice. Although I feel the 4870 is a better value in terms of performance per dollar. Still, the 4870 may not be a big enough upgrade to warrant the cost over the 4850 you have currently. You may even want to go higher than the 4890, depending upon your budget.
Or just wait until prices come down or a new product is released - the HD5800s should be coming along later this year with support for DX11, and engineering samples of the 40nm process are already out. So there are some nice potential upgrades on the horizon.|||There will be a performance gain but probably not enough to warrant the cost of the new card. If you can you'd get a lot better performance doing a CrossFire setup with a second 4850. Otherwise just wait until the next generation of cards come out.|||They require the same connection which is a Pcie x16 slot. 1.0 or 2.0
If you have the 512mb 4850, then you will see a notable ability to run higher graphical settings.

Right Temps For My Video Card?
I am Currently gaming on a HIS HD 4670 1Gb Ice Q video card. when im playing black ops my video card usage goes up to about 93% and my temp stays at about 59 Degrees Celsius. is this an okay temp or should i get it fixed?|||Don't worry, that's a normal temperature.|||59 degrees is very low. Graphics cards can work very stable at temperatures exceeding 80 degrees.
Recently purchased a video card for an eMachines T2893 but do not have a port to place it in.?
I thought I had the right part to connect with, but apparently not. Can someone help me figure out where to go next. Video card is an ATI Radeon Pro 9600 for an AGP port.|||Take it back and find a video card that is pci compatiable|||Your only option for that machine is a PCI video card. The motherboard is an Intel D845VGSR with no AGP slots.
Should I get a new video card or just update my current video card?
I just bought The Sims 2 game and when I play it, it is extremely pixely, it runs slow, and just annoying! I have 640 of RAM and an 320 GB external hard drive on my computer so I know that is not the cause for the slowness, it must be the video card.
The current video card I have is the Intel (R) 82845G/GL/GE/PE/GV Graphics Controller. My computer is a bit old, like from 2002, is this video card still good or should I get a new one? Thanks!|||I would suggest getting a new one, because it is not that much more expensive than upgrading your old one.|||An easy solution to help decision making... reboot your computer then run this test on it. If you get a lot of red areas, you NEED a new machine.
In the black box, pick The Sims 2 - or the version in question
http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/ref…|||it's hard to say. you may need a video card, memory, or a processor.
but opt for memory and video card. but don't get the best video card because your processor could be a bottleneck.
btw....you didn't tell us what card you have. it's hard to know what card you need to upgrade from.
ok nvm what I said. I did some search and you can't update that card. haha you're best bet is to upgrade your whole system.
You could build a cheap system around 500 if you're demand is not high.
just check your local pc shops and see if they have used parts.
all you need is:
power supply 350-400 $40 (if your current power supply has enough power you may get by with it)
nvidia/ait video card $50-100
processor intel/amd $80-120
mainboard $60-100
memory $50-100
case $30-50
you already have hard drive
you have monitor
you have mouse
you have keyboard|||Couple things:
1. You cannot update your current video card. You can update your current video "driver" but you cannot update your video. Updating your video card would mean the same as pulling out your video card and getting a new one.
2. You have an "integrated" video card on your computer. This means that the video card is actually on a chip soldered on to the motherboard. You cannot pull the card out. What you can do is disable this card and get another card.
And your Intel Graphics Controller was not designed for gaming. You should upgrade your video card for sure but my advice would be to upgrade the entire machine while you're at it. If you bought the computer around 2002 than it would probably be around Pentium 4 2.0 Ghz range machine.
You can get a new computer for around $1,000 these days including a monitor. You can get a replacement video card for around $50 to $500.
For Sims 2 I'd recommend a video card around $100 to $150 range. Look for Radeon X1x00 or GeForce 7x00 series. And for your motherboard you need an AGP version and not the PCI eXpress version.|||I believe that you are using a integrated graphics card, and for playing games, integrated graphics cards are a big no-no. You probably need to buy a new video card and that would most likely solve your problem, also getting at least 1 GB of RAM is recommended for gamers. Just to clarify, updating your current video card means to get new drivers, and that probably won't solve your problem.|||ok heres the thing
this video controller u have in built in on the motherboard,yes INTEL suks
unlike ATI or NVIDIA u cant jsut remove the video card and get a new one...u might have to get a new motherboard
u might be able to disable ur graphics controller, and if u have PCi bus slot on ur machine ur in luck and go get a ATI controller with atleast 128mb of memory
juicing up ur RAM will not help coz these machines are designed to use only a part of ur physical memmory maybe upto 32mb and there is no way u can increase it ur self
hope this helps
