I have a P4PE-X Motherboard, and i want to know if it can support a BFG 7300GT 512MB AGP video card DDR2?

The video card's video memory is 512mb DDR2 and the type for my RAM is DDR and I am wondering if that affects the compatibility for putting this video card in. My card right now is very crappy as it is a Matrox G450 with a memory size of 32mb with 360MHz Dual Head|||It should work. Your motherboard's memory is independent from your videocard. They aren't related in any way.

Is there a benefit to running two 512mb video cards as opposed to a single 1gb vdeo card?

Or is 1gb pretty much just 1gb?|||Yeah except you forgot the other video cards steam processors which makes a huge difference. The way I see it is that your thinking about it like RAM which one 1GB stick vs. 2x512MB sticks but you forgot a video card is a lot more than just memory.|||SLI capability?

are 2 video cards better than 1 !!?

i just bought a computer it has 1 installed already the ati radeon 3650 .w/512mb dedicated memory ,but in my old computer i also have a ati radeon hd 2400 pro w/ 256 memory would it make a difference?? if i had both in there together?|||Sure it will! You will end up with a ton of device conflicts and even if you do get it running, you can only run one card or the other and not both at the same time.....leave it alone|||depends which you like better and how much memory you will use in the future|||yup

What is the price of nvidia geforce 9600gs,9200gs,8900gs,8600gs.Al… cards are 512mb.?

video cards|||geeeeeeeeee dont u know how to

hint go to there web page and look and am not being rude -- just look it up |||hi dinza, i highly recommend that you upgrade your video card to Nvidia 8800 gtx it is a better for gamers but it is a high performance card that will give you the performance you want and need. another word for this card is you might recognize a display adapter. good luck hope i was helpful to you

Should I use the ATI Radeon HD 4870 512MB or the nVidia GeForce GTS 240 1024MB video card?

the 4870 is a better card, but as the GTS comes with a Gig of memory this makes a big difference even though the card itself is actually not as powerful|||HD 4870 is a faster graphics card.

To all who are advanced on video cards can you tell me this?

when it says 128 supporting 512mb if i get this card will i be able to run it as 512 mb with out using memory from my ram?

Most of the games out now use a TON of onboard graphics memory & Systems Memory such as FEAR.

So get a card with more onboard memory & higher bit transfer.

64 bit is nothing now for these games and they will have to have very poor graphics settings and resolutions to play at all with that processing speed.

My last card (ATi 9550) had 256mb memory & 128 bit memory and I was overclocking it (from 250/200 to 465/245) and it still had a hard time keeping up!!!

My new one cuts through them like butter at 1680x1050 resolution.|||The short answer is no.



Here's the long answer from AMD (who owns ATI, maker of the Radeon):



HyperMemory™ is ATI’s innovative technology that enables a reduction in the amount of on-board memory on a graphics card without compromising its overall performance.



Its advanced memory management technology makes more efficient use of all the available memory in computers with PCI Express® technology. Graphics applications can share system memory and use fast on-board memory for real-time processing between the graphics card and the computer’s memory. This ultimately increases the affordability of ATI’s Radeon™ graphics technology.|||Radeon X1550 is a poor card.

128MB on board memory; 512 MB when it shares (uses) 384 MB of your computers RAM.



Per the following page the X1550 is between the 1300Pro and 7300 GT in performance.

My best guess is it is scores about 17 FRAPS (frames per second) on the following chart.

http://www23.tomshardware.com/graphics_2…

===============================

My opinion for a new video card:

For playing the latest games a FRAPS (frames per second) of 50 or higher

For moderate games a FRAPS of 30 or more.

For no games a FRAPS of 18

8400gs low-profile 512mb PCI video card for a 220w PSU. Good for playing World of Warcraft?

I couldn't find anything better for a PCI slot and a 220w Power Supply.



Is this video card good for some not too demanding games like World of Warcraft, Counter-Strike and Elder Scrolls: Morrowind?



I've currently got a integrated Intel GMA950 which I'm very unproud of it's performance.



Any suggestions would be appreciated.



Thanks|||should be fine, i played morrowind perfectly on my old PC and i didn't even replace the graphics card ever. what i would do if i were you, is to download the World of warcraft trial, and however smoothly it runs in the trial, is how smoothly it will run in the actual game.|||yea thats the best you can do with a 220 watt PSU.
