MATX EVGA Mobo, will it run a Radeon video card?

It supports "nvidia sli" but it doesnt support crossfire. I'm not worried about using two radeon cards, I just want to use ONE with this motherboard, can I? The model is http://www.evga.com/products/moreInfo.asp?pn=121-BL-E756-TR&family=Motherboard%20Family



EVGA Micro ATX SLI X58|||Yes it will do fine... On x58 motherboards crossfire is understood on any board with more than one PCIEx16 slot. Only boards without the nvidia chip embedded onto the motherboard cannot SLI. All x58 boards crossfire that accept 2 or more cards, even though the specs do not declare it...

Is the 4350 RADEON video card good?

I play starcraft 2 and i was wondering if the 4350 RADEON video card was a good card to play Starcraft 2, at least medium settings?|||HD 4350 is just a budget card. It is pretty weak for Starcraft 2 and many other games. SC2 might only play at low settings and low resolution. You need at least the HD 5570 for smooth play at medium settings.

http://www.techspot.com/review/305-starc…|||if you are only going to play starcraft then yes, but that is outdated and was never really considered a gaming card|||maybe medium settings as long as its a smaller map

Is an ATI HD5450 Radeon video card a good one for gaming?

arron is right, the 5450 would be a waste of time. i'm looking to upgrade as well. i've done my home work adn the benchs for that card are not good. it might get you by with the lowest of the settings (if even that good). it amused me to see amd talking it up like they did on their site. inrceases gaming experience... my foot (choice words best not mentioned) when looking for a good card for gaming, they say 5770 is the best cheapy out there of the 5xxx atis (for the money) i'm thinking it's more like a 5670 personally. even then it won't be a beast. it is comparable to the 4830 though, with more bells and wistles. i'm not here to talk of intended plans though. there are a few thing to look at though, the memory bandwith is crucial and it's limited to ddr2/ddr3 memory. ddr5 would be ideal for gaming. not to mention the gpu is watered down, less of everything in general. i wouldn't waste my money. to sum it up, look for dd5, (i would look for 1 gig of memory personally) and atleast a 5670. you might get by with the 5450 but you you will sacrofice perforamce to spare your wallet. i've learned the hard way it's not a good idea and cheaper to buy a more expensive card 1 time than a cheapy and the good card.



below are some links that might help you decide

here's the card i'm thinking would be a good investment. hope that helps.

http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/…|||It depends on the type of gaming you'll be doing. HD5450 will suffice for several types of games, but thats just it. It will only suffice. If you want to play games the way they're meant to be played, meaning high resolutions and maxxed out settings, you will definitely need something stronger. If the HD5450 is the only thing really in your budget, then so be it. You will just have to lower the graphics settings in the games to where they will allow the computer to still have decent performance.|||No, it's a low-end budget card intended as a basic upgrade off mobo graphics. It is not meant for gaming, especially with such weak specs. It would run games like utter crap, period. Good for videos, but NOT video games. If you'll be doing ANY gaming, then at least consider an HD 5770, or better. http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductLis…

What is the cheapest Radeon video card i can get to play cs at 100 fps?

please? any1!|||if you wouldnt demand so much ithink youd get a quicker answer

but...



idk

8600gt?

probably and why doesn it need to be radeon ?

ati xraden1300

atihd 3450

im not sure on the prices but there not top of the range and are at the bottom of the range for the newer games like cod4 crysis (ohno)

look around them and base your card on those results and male chanes if need

but idk maybe a 8 500gt can run it

Should I pay $100 to upgrade to an amd radeon video card?

In the customization menu of the dell inspiron 14r you can upgrade from an Intel HD Graphics/HD Graphics 3000 with up to 1.6GB Dynamic Video Memory to an AMD Radeon™ HD 6470M (64-bit) 1GB Graphic. (yeah, i just copied and pasted, I have no idea what these things mean.) is it worth the $100 to buy the upgrade?|||If you plan on playing games, then definitely. Intel 3000 is NOT a gaming card.|||Are you going to be gaming??? Are you going to be using Google Earth or AutoCAD Programs? If Yes, then Yes.



It really depends, but if you plan or doing anything that is "Graphically Intensive", then the AMD Radeon will be very fast. The Intel Integrated Graphics is cheap, it usually comes with Netbooks. Dedicated means the Computer places all the "Graphics" part of the program in 1 place, so it makes it easier to access, rather than sharing it with the RAM where all your other programs are placed for quick access. It is just like have a Library, but instead of having 1 room for both studying and playing, you would have 1 room. Then your Computer will have a harder time to find out which is which.



But if you only use it for Home-Work, light gaming, and Web-Surfing or VERY LIGHT games like Chess, get a bigger Hard-Drive (7200 RPM, makes your computer load programs faster and boot-up faster), or a faster processor.



Hope this helps :)|||I would. the intel is crappy for drawing a decent frame rate in gaming. overall the AMD is a better performer

Xt1900xtx radeon video card doesnt fit any computers!?

I am so upset,, i bought the xt1900xtx radeon video card because i want to play games on my computer (Oblivion). Well my computer is too old, so i just bought a new Dell computer. Well,, the video card is too big and doesnt fit, so i sent back the dell computer and they dont have any that supposedly would fit. Then i built a computer because my friend said he knows how to build them and i thought he could. well,, the card fit but the computer was a mess, so i decided to send that back.

My question:

How do i know which computers will fit this video card!!?? I want to buy a computer but which one will work with video cards!!!?? Please please help!!|||its obviously a large card... so its going to require a large case... thats the price you pay for the high-end... if you found one that fit... and somehow believe they would make a video card that "doesn't fit any computer"... then you've obviously contradicted yourself... do your research... get a tape measure and have fun!!!|||You ned a maxi size case. If you think that card is big, wait till you see the nvidia ones. It's not just the case, you need a 500-600 watt power supply too

Can't figure out how to update drivers for motherboard to install a new AGP video card, please help?

I'm trying to install a Radeon video card to update from my ancient Nvidia one, and the first step is to update the AGP drivers for the motherboard. It said to go to control panel, system, device manager, and system devices. And here I'm supposed to find the chipset manufacturer's name so I can update the drivers? All I see that seems appropriate is "Intel 8w443BX Pentium II processor to AGP controller." Then it says to double click on the name and go to the Driver tab and then go to the Driver Details button. But the button is fogged out, it's lighter, you know, like when they make it so you can't click on it. So I don't know how I'm supposed to update the drivers... The video card I'm using currently is an AGP one, so do I really need to update anything? It says "Not only do you need display drivers for an AGP graphics card, you also need drivers for your motherboard, which enable AGP functionality for the motherboard chipset." And that makes me think it's fine how it is.|||Thank you for providing some really important information to help everyone give you the correct answer...



You are trying to go into the CONTROL PANEL etc to update a driver,

howerver, you must realize that if you get in to the correct section,

it will automatically ask you WHERE IS THE NEW DRIVER, expecting a CD, a floppy, a web address, etc. and you have indicated that you don't have these...



(DELL usually has a hidden partition on the harddrive, with all the

files needed to get your computer going, and all the "old" drivers..

Sometimes it is deliberately hidden from windows, so you can't immediately see it. These "original" drivers are likely out of date, by the time you purchased the unit! There "may" be the manual and other technical information in files, hidden as well. Check you

settings to see under folder options is there are HIDDEN READ ONLY and SYSTEM file checkmarks to hide the files...)



Your Chipset, as you have indicated, is from the INTEL chipsets,

and you can get an all-in-one chipset driver from the INTEL

website that finds the correct chips and upgrades them.



DELL, at thier website may have newer updates by putting in

your model number.



You might get the name of the "actual" motherboard manufacturer if you can navigate into the BIOS and remove the

" DELL" welcome screen at startup, to see the actual BIOS start screen. "DELL" usually uses some brand name manufacturer

to make the motherboards, and information "may" be available on

the original website, for that, or some very similar board.

( ex. Dell uses a real "INTEL" motherboard, origianally a P7AM-QV, and has intel modify it specifically for DELL, labelling it

the P7AM-Q33 , but they are essentially almost identical, so the

manual on the INTEL website will give you a great deal of info.)

Dell " may" have the manuals, the drivers, the updates, the BIOS

updates, and links to the INTEL chipset, all there for you... ( hopefully )



If this is not an INTEL motherboard, and just "uses" INTEL chips,

then you may find the motherboard by opening the case and shining a light on the white print to see if it has a model number and reveision number.



You can also use software to go in and read the BIOS and chips to see if this will give better information...



TRY the Dell First.

Then try the sofware ( listed in a similar answer below )

Then try looking at the motherboard...

Try the INTEL chipset update.



You will probably be ok, since DELL is a big corporation, and you should find all the info you need on the web...



Once you have updated the motherboard, then you install the video card. Then, you go to the Video card WEBSITE and update

the just- installed driver, sice they update VERY frequently !



Save all the updates to everything an a CD so that you do not have to find everything again !



HERE IS A SIMILAR QUESTION with some information that

might help.....

How exacly can i tell what company manufactured my motherboard?



I recently added a new hard drive (as a slave drive) for extra memory. but the video files i have on the new hard drive skip and is kinda choppy the first time you play the video. i was told to try to update the driver for my motherboard but i dont know who manufactured it.





This is a common problem...



(( ladyfirst, in her answer below gives a link to a 4 meg download,

free, that I tried, and like hundreds of similar applications,

may interrogate your BIOS, and analyze your system, and

may give you details simply by running the program... I would

suggest trying her method. I ran it on my computer, and it was

VERY good at comming up with " MOST" data, although, digging

up the specific REVISION NUMBER of the BIOS may be out,

still, you might be given the actual www.address of the manufacturer to search for more info....



Try these links with the software, and see if they all agree, :

(( there are dozens of these types of programs, and you can

use yahoo search or dogpile.com search to find a great many more... _)



Iff this fails, then you

can just open the case and, if lucky, can read the manufacturer's

name and model number somewhere on the board using a

bright light. You may even find the REVISION number. Sometimes the information is obscured by the AGP card or

a PCI card, but these are not difficult to momentarily remove....

otherwise, follow BELOW : ))



[[ Another tip.... if you are "UPDATING" your motherboard with

a BIOS FLASH, proceed very carefully. Make certain your floppy

is 100% CLEAN ( use a floppy cleaner disk with white fiber disk,

and alcohol bottle in the kit... sometimes available at the dollar store, but well worth it... test a few read/ writes, and a scandisk

on a newly written floppy ).

SAVE the old BIOS , even though you don't have to. AND, if

ANYTHING GOES WRONG DO NOT SHUT OFF THE POWER...!

If there is a disk read / write error, get another disk, on another

computer, and use the other disk ( which the computer would not know was a new one, and continue... ) You can even, CAREFULLY exchange the floppy macnine itself.... ANYTHING, but remove the

POWER... ! ! ! Read the instructions carefully, and print them out. And, again, it is vitally important to know the correct revision number, and make certain that it is valid for the BIOS revision

you are using to update....

It is also a good idea to have a battery backup UPS running

during the BIOS FLASH, so that a tiny power glitch would not

destroy your BIOS, --- if anything went wrong, your entire motherboard would be useless...



After upgrading the BIOS, then you can use the CHIPSET upgrade software that will update things, typically like AGP to

PCI bus drivers, PCI drivers, clock timing upgrades, and sound,

lan, modem, etc. drivers if any are onboard. ]]



IFF these methods fail, then:



1/ Rip apart your entire computer and read BOTH sides of the

motherboard and all the sticky labels, particularly on the

first side of the last card slot, and write down all the numbers and

names, and hope that there is something in ENGLISH, that

looks like a model name, and a revision number.

If you are lucky, the NAME is in bold white screen print on the

top, and the REVISION number is printed in a corner somewhere

or on a sticky label on or near the BIOS, with something like

rev. 1.02b

If you are experienced you can sometimes tell who probably made the board by the colours, the way the traces are made,

the configuration, the chips used etc, and some of the codes

written on the sticky labels...



Sometimes the label and model numbers are on the BACK,

which is a real pain, since you "HAVE " to remove the board

itself...



2/ you can try to stop the BIOS BOOT sequence at the start of

the BOOT procedure and read the information on the screen.

Sometimes it will STATE IN ENGLISH the model and make

and revision number as part of the BIOS routine,,,,, JOY

Sometimes it will just give you a long BIOS REVISION

code

like Ac00287-BC8djJ-0030300228-12kidj or something, and

you have to go to the BIOS manufacturers website and

look up the code on a list.... ( AMIBIOS, etc. )

I put your question on my watch list.

The answer to hit the PAUSE / BREAK is 'sort of "

correct, once the first page is finished and the POST

starts, pause will usually work, but the VERY first

screen, with the BIOS revision number usually

blinks so fast that it is impossible to stop on

many computers. This BIOS revision number is

often a key to determining what revision, what

manufacturer, and what company the computer

is .... I have hundreds of computers, and there is

no "rule " to get the screen to stop.... Sometimes,

pause may work... but usually on 286's or 386's,

-- the new computers are too fast to control...



(( Since I have ... HUNDREDS .... of computers,

most come with no manual, and HUNDREDS of these

motherboards have NO MARKINGS whatsoever that

cross reference to any known motherboard by any known

manufacturer. In fact, countless mothrboards are

illegal clones, first commissioned by a large, known

corporation, and then "cloned" cheaply at the factory,

deliberately hidding all identifying markings. The only way

to track down what the board was originally, is to get the

printed BIOS version on the first screen, and go to

the BIOS manufacturer's website, and cross reference

the BIOS # with known listings. In many cases, the

sequence, even then, will list A046B1A-004124 as " other",

or, the cloning assembly line has put in a BIOS revision

number that is not listed at all... Since many of the hundreds

of motherbaords I bump into, are strange, and from around the

world, there are many instances where the Manufacturer,

the Board Name and the Revision number white printed

clearly on the board, mean nothing, with no web search, and

no technical website postings finding anything or anyone who has

heard of the company or the board... There is an exception to

every rule { all motherboards are clearly identified in white

printing }, and I get a great many of the unidentifiable boards,

simply BECAUSE, no one else knows what to do with them !

see my website, kidbots.com ))



I hope someone comes up with something I have never

seen before.... good luck.

Asker's Rating:

Most informative answer.



______________________________________…



As you can see, finding a manufacturer is not a guaranteed process... the odds are, though, that you will find the information

easily - strange boards are getting rare...



FINALLY...



If updating the BIOS, the DRIVERS, and the software viewer

and CODECS does not work, then you have an issue, not with

the software, but with the hardware - is the harddrive a fast one

with large cache? is the cabelling the best configuration?, do you have an ATA drive needing an 80 wire cable, and have only installed a 40 wire? Is there another mechanical and BIOS

location that allows the hardddrive to function faster? Are there

settings in your Operating System that allocate more RAM to the

software viewer, so that it runs faster? Is there another Viewer program that is more efficiently coded that will speed up the

transfere reate, so that the videos run smoothly? etc. etc....



There may be other issues here that are not immediately apparent. On the new drive, go to the manufacturers website and

see how much cache ram is on the Drive board, and what

the RPM ( Pevolutions per minute ) speed is. 7,200 is normal

today, and higher end drives are 10,000 RPM. 5,000 is middle of

the road, and 3,000's are slow, etc. You can compare the same

read times and latency and RPM for the new drive and your old

one to see if there is a major performance drop.

I would also search around for better designed viewer software.

There are any out there, and you might be surprised with much

better performance.

robin|||try the microsoft update site; there check the 'custom" update box... this will then scan your system and if there is something for your particular card, it will show up, download and install as per usual.|||You should have the drivers disk that came with your computer or motherboard. Make sure all the drivers are installed from that. You should have a disk that came with your video card that has the drivers on it also. Install those.



Are you sure that the video card you bought is securely installed?

Is it compatible with your Operating System?

Is it 4X or 8X. There is a difference. Is it backwards compatible?



You can also check the Computer Manufacturer's, motherboard, and video card manufacturers' websites for compatibility and drivers which should be better than the ones that came with your OS or computer.



Another thing you can do if you have drivers is to go to your Device Manager and uninstall your Display adapter. Then either hit Action and Scan for Hardware Changes, or shut down and reboot your computer.



Windows will find any new Plug and Play devices for you.



FYI: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=Int…



Good luck.|||OK..you have a dell computer and you need to update the motherboard APG controller. This is part of the Intel NorthBridge Chipset of your motherboard, the 440BX chipset to be exact. Since you did not mention your Dell model of computer, I can't give you the specific Dell webpage. This is an old computer, but I did find the drivers for the chipset on the Intel website. Since you did not mention your OS, I put the top level link for your chipset here. Download the Chipset ID software first and run that to be sure you are getting the correct drivers. If this is the correct chipset then the last time the driver was updated was 5/6/2002.

Thanks - Colin|||The video card can only support 2 monitors. There isn't a way to fix this.

Can you use use a Radeon Video card on a X58 motherboard?

Gigabyte Radeon HD4870 X2 is much cheaper then the gtx 205 by couple of hundreds of dollars.



i'm planning to have a i7 core cpu and x58 motherboards (most likely asus rampage extreme ii), can i install a radeon video card?|||sure you can
