What is a good laptop with an integrated video card?
I need a laptop that has at least 512mb of video ram and is probably at a cheap price. or a laptop that is as good as a Gateway FX.I want to get an Alien ware but they are really ex[pensive...|||Get a custom built HP. www.hp.com Remember that there are online coupons that give a couple hundred dollars of sometimes. I have a dv6 and it has been running good.|||A good video card and RAM depends on your motherboard and sometimes (rarely) on your operating system.. Some good websites to look at for really cheap good quality stuff is for example Tigerdirect.com or newegg.com they offer many pc/laptop parts... I really recommend these websites from what it sounds like of your situation.|||The most inexpensive is the Compaq cq61z from HP site. I think you mean you want a dedicated video card to play games. Upgrade to dual core and video card to the one you want.
What video card would you recommend between Sapphire HD 2600 XT 512mb,8600 GT/GTS 512mb or x1950 pro/xt?
I cant decide which card to get. The specs are Intel Core 2 Duo @ 3 GHz,2GB Ram.What video card do you recommend for latest games like Crysis,Stalker clear sky etc.This is all the info i can give because i dont have the computer yet.Which of these 3 cards will offer better graphics and performance (frames per second).My bugdet is about 100-120$.Also if you know better cards that fit my wallet please let me know. Thanks

Buying Two ATI video cards?
Ok......so im building a new computer and im going to start off with 4gb of RAM and running two ati 4850's in crossfire. Sooo my question is, Do i get two 512mb 4850, or two 1gb 4850's.....i cannot find any benchmark tests comparing the two, and i really dont know if its worth paying $50 per card ($100 total) for having te 1gb cards.....and if i got the 1gb's then would that reduce the amount of ram not dedicated to the video cards?|||on single card tests there's very little benefit to the extra ram
i heard recently that in crossfire the memory on only one of the cards is actually used.
Sorry I can be of more help

How many colors does a 512mb video card have?
I just read that the human eye can see 10 million colors|||it most likely does at least 32 bit color = 16.7 million colors|||Depends on the video card.|||depends on the video card.. 512mb is just speed.. it tells nothing about what it can do|||LOL. What video card is it? Add details plz|||You can't be serious, right?|||1KByte = more than (just make it even) 1000Byte
1MB = 1000,000Byte
512MB = 512,000,000byte color.
1MB = 1000,000Byte
512MB = 512,000,000byte color.
Can somebody tell me which is the best among these two video cards?

1. Palit ATI Radeon HD4670 512MB GDDR3 128 bit
http://www.palit.biz/main/vgapro.php?id=975
2. Palit ATI Radeon HD4650 1024MB DDR2 128 bit
http://www.palit.biz/main/vgapro.php?id=976
and one more question...
can one of these two video cards run GTAIV with at least 30fps (medium graphic setting) if I have these specs:
Intel Core 2 Duo 2.33 Ghz
2GB RAM
and any of these two video cards
pls answer my question with respect..
thnx in advance.|||Get the 4670. Yeah, it could probably pull 30fps in GTA4 on those settings.
Shaddy - since the 4650 can't actually use 1gb of vram, the fact that it has 1gb means nothing.|||4670 is betta and yes it will run gtaiv at 30fps but considering the 4650 is 1gb i wood go wit dat unless u can get da 4670 1gb for cheap

Which of these video cards, if any, will run FSX best?
-EVGA O1G-P3-N945-LR GeForce 9400 GT 1GB DDR2 PCI-E 2.0
-EVGA GeForce 9400GT-1GB DDR2 PCI-E 2.0 Dual DVI, HDTV, S-video, VGA Support
-BFG-NVIDIA GeForce 8400 GS 512MB DDR2 PCI-E 1.0
-Sapphire HD 3650 512 MB DDR2 PCI-E 2.0
My computer has a 2.8Ghz Dual Core Pentium D Processor so it's plenty fast.
So which of these video cards do you think will run Microsoft Flight Simulator X the best? I know none of them will run it perfect but out of them which is the best?|||GeForce 9400 GT
-EVGA GeForce 9400GT-1GB DDR2 PCI-E 2.0 Dual DVI, HDTV, S-video, VGA Support

Dual video cards? or a single new card?
I currently have an EVGA 8800 GTS 512mb card
just to show what that is..
http://www.eworldsale.com/evga-512-p3-n8…
I have been looking at the Geforce GTX 200 series cards, and i've been thinking about the 275, but like all new cards, it would cost me a great deal more than an older video card. I believe newegg has the 275 for around $250+
on the other hand i could get another geforce 8800 gts 512 and sli it for about $170 max....
What are your suggestions?
I don't know how well sli really works, but if it does work i want it to be like running 2 cards at once not one card with the other one kind of helping... i hope that makes sense.
Because if thats the case maybe i should just get the 275 card.
Suggestions?|||The Geforce 275 gtx would be way better than putting another of your cards into SLI. SLI and crossfire don't double the performance of a single card, but do give it a significant boost. The workload is divided over the two cards, but combining into one output signal, dividing the workload etc would still have to be done by a single master card. The geforce 200 series also uses a completely different chip architecture and just work faster and better than geforce 8 series chips. Imho $170 to SLI that card just isnt worth it. Hell, you can get a single Radeon 4870 that will outperform that SLI for less.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying SLI isn't worth it.....it CAN be a cost effective way to boost existing hardware....but in this case it doesn't pay off.|||dual are way better. more vram.|||For the time being, and seeing as you will most likley need to upgrade your PSU to do either option you are going to choose, I'd choose a good 260GTX and get out cheaper than with the 275GTX. Besides if you SLI a 260GTX you will have more performance for the buck than with the 275GTX without doubling your 275GTX price. If you upgrade your PSU you need to go ahead and think about the SLI thing. For either the 260GTX or a 275GTX you are looking at needing 40amps on the +12Volt rail or rails. For SLI you need about 70-80amps with the GTX series. While paying for a PSU, might as well go the extra bit and buy the one that will work for any upgrades down the road... You will be paying double later...
Another reason it isn't such a good deal to go with another 8800 is that your card only has 512mb of vram. Just because you put another card with it, doesn't mean you will have 1gig, you will still only have 512mb... Crysis using all high settings uses about 932mb of vram during benchmark tool. Crysis is a dated game compared to the newer ones out now...
As far as the Passmark chart the other girl gave you a link to, I am skeptical of their comparison. For some odd reason they showed a 285GTX near the top of the list. No mention of being an SLI or not, but 1 285GTX insn't more powerful than a 295GTX, and the 285GTX wasn't mentioned anywhere else on the list. It also showed a 5770 being as powerful as a 295GTX, which they didn't say that was a multiple card set up either, but that card wasn't mentioned on the list anywhere else as well. There is no way a $159 card is going to outperform a 295GTX single handedly... Kinda got to be skeptical of some of these benchmarks anyways. If you want good benchmarks and scores, visit tomshardware.com and compare benches to the closest resolution your monitor can dish out, that will give you a better rule of thumb.
Not all resolutions treat graphics cards the same way. Many bench marks will prove a 4850 will outperform a 4870 in low resolution, needless to say a 4870 will unload a wad on a 4850 in higher resolutions... Same thing with Nvidia cards, some do better with lower resolutions than other.
just to show what that is..
