I don't play games too often. But I do watch videos & movies & sometimes work on photoshop or GIMP. So will 512MB graphic card make a huge difference compared to 256MB graphic card in my case?
View 10 RepliesI'm planning on purchasing a Dell Studio 15 and I want it to play games like Grand Theft Auto 4 smoothly.
Now my question is, I have $1120 to spend, and can either afford to upgrade the video card to 512mb, OR keep it at 256mb and upgrade my HD to 500gb from 250gb. So will my fps and quality increases be significant enough to justify upgrading the video card to 512mb or would the 256mb suffice.
current build specs:
Intel Core 2 Duo T6500 2.1ghz
vista home premium x64
4gb ram
5400rpm HD
I been watching Crysis gameplay footage on Youtube and have noticed some pop up on the lower spec MBP.
Would foliage appearing as if by magic be a result of having less memory in the GPU? or would it be down to system memory, the CPU or another factor I'm unaware of?
I have hp dv7-1110eg
I have this card in my laptop .... Mobility Radeon HD 3450 ... my system recognizes it as 512 of video ...
But the internet does not find a Mobility Radeon HD 3450 - 512mb... is normal?
That is giving me problems with video, black screens constantly...
It also takes video 1024gb ... so I have 1700gb of video ...
How can I change these values?
I can make it 512? not to touch the RAM
Dell Studio 1555 (P7350 with ATI 512MB Graphic card) is not able to boot.
1. RAMs seems good. (2 beeps when removed, and no beep after installation)
2. Display seems OK (8 beeps when disconnected, and no beep when connected)
3. HDD is good. (Tested with other laptop)
After pressing the power button (can see the power light ON), no display, no beep, & fan doesn't start.Â
Is it a motherboard FAILURE? What do I need to do ?
I can diassemble and reassemble it ????

if my video card is capable of supporting dual monitors. I was hoping to avoid buying a converter because money is tight but I dual monitors is a necessity for my situation now. I have an inspiron 1720 by the way if that matters.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm looking at the Vaio FW with the 512mb card, 2.53ghz processor, 4gb of RAM, and the 1900x1200 screen.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI've decided to try and play some games on it, only to find out I have some serious problems with it..
I've tried two different games, and the result is the same in both - the computer will hang about 1 minute after launching the game and only hard shutdown is possible (holding the power button)..
After doing a little analysis of the memory dump, I found out the graphics driver is the one to blame.................................
is the ATI graphic card in the new xps m1640 better than the 8800m gtx card in the m1730?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI saw in some threats that said you can get Geforce 9800 into XPS 1730.
But when I got to Dell website, I couldn't see where Geforce 9800 was, but 8700. It is said that "The Dell MediaDirect feature is not compatible with the NVIDIA® SLI™ Dual GeForce® 9800M series video solutions .....
Is there any another graphic card which will fit and will work with e1505 laptop?
I know about Ati X1300 and X1400 and I thinking about change to X1400 but maybe there is another, better card.
Does anyone heard a noice coming from the "circuit board" of graphic card when you are running a game or during the gpu test in 3dmark? The sound like "si si si si" is quite annoying.
I confirmed is not the problem of the fan of gpu and guess the noice is from the circuit board of gpu..
I'm getting a weird white vertical line , about 2 inches thick, all over my display, it doesn't matter if I'm browsing software, or just at boot screen, the line is there.
Weird thing is, it seems to randomly dissappear sometimes, but appears again when trying to shut down the lappy, is the first time this thing happen to my display and I shuted down my lappy, hoping its propably a heat problem.
Here's a pic:

I hope that it doesn't be any gfx card problem...
I have a chance at a good deal on an XPS M1530. It has the 256MB NVIDIA GeForce 8600 GT card, but it also has only the 1440 x 900 display. My question:
Can I use this XPS with my HP 22" w2207 display at its 1680 x 1050 resolution
just now i was benchmarking my 4570 with some software... then in the GPUZ the gpu temperature was showing from 65.C to 100.C within a few minutes... freaked out.. ii just closed the software..
and am worried if this was normal and what would be the safe operating temperature of a graphic card for notebook... and my fans are rolling at full speeds @100.C...
i was jus gamming for an hour until i closed and then opend the hardware monitor to see that the ati radeon graphic card temperature was about 81`C so i am really worried if this could damage the machin
View 6 Replies View RelatedWell after just less then a year of service my M1330 was hit by the nvidia failure. With 17 days to ago on the warranty I guess this is the best time for it to happen if its going to.
A quick call to the XPS service line has a new motherboard on the way to be installed.
This is the point were it gets interesting, I asked about the warranty enhancement from the dell blogs here
and was told that policy states because I am having a replacement in warranty I do not qualify for any warranty extension. I questioned the tech rep on were this policy was coming from, but she didn't really have a good explanation of the policy .....
I have a m1330 laptop with a 8400gs graphic card. I want to know if the card can share the memory, because I have 3 gb of ram.
If it can, I can use games that minimum requirements are 256 mb and take the other 128mb from the ram. If it can, will be best to later upgrade to 4 gb of ram?
I was playing CoH, the game froze in the middle of a game. Tried to Ctrl Esc to get to windows, only part of the windows task bar showed up. It just stucked there for 2 minutes, and blue screen cam e up with error msg about nv4_disp.dll. So I was forced to shut down and waited 10 seconds to turn on again.
After turned on, I see some dotted lines all over the screen (even in bios), not so much that i can't see the bios, but it's definitely not usable. It tried to load into windows (with the dotted lines the whole time). The screen went blank after the waiting bar of winxp is finished. Nothing happens, so i am forced to shut down and turn back on again.
This time, i went into the diagnose before the windows load, and found the error 5300:0119 in the video memory. Called dell xps canada, I was told it's memory burne and it's out of warrantee , and it would cost me $650 to get 7900 gtx shipped to me to replace it myself.
This has been discussed in a few threads but I cannot find anything on dell website.
I tried the chat and the rep I talked to played dumb with me, saying he never heard of any problem with the graphic cards.
Could you guys tell me how I can figure out if the graphic card does have an extended warranty? Will I get any documentation mentioning it
