Ok im trying to see which one of these video cards would be best to use on a Hp pavilion 7965 to play world of warcraft.
*Sapphire cost: $66.99 but then i would have to buy a new battery pack 350 watt+ which would cost and extra $30
*GIGABYTE cost : $46.99 , idk what type of Battery pack i would need for Hp pavilion 7965 if you know can you tell me cause if i need a higher battery pack i will get 256MB GIGABYTE nVidia GeForce 6200 Video Card if it can work on my computer if you know answer that too plz :).
So which on do you think i should get for my HP Pavilion 7965?|||You CANNOT use the Radeon HD4550 at all. That card is a PCIExpress video card, and your Pavilion 7965 does NOT have a PCIExpress 16x slot to accomodate it.
The X1650Pro AGP should work in that Pavilion since the 7965 does have an AGP slot, but that is NOT a good choice.
The best and last AGP card ever made is the ATI Radeon HD3850 AGP. If you are going to do an AGP upgrade, that is the card you want. http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductLis…
Hope this helps.
EDITED TO ADD: The X1650 is two generations older than the HD3850. Consequently the X1650 is rather outdated and does not support DirectX10 or HDCP. The HD3850 is relatively recent and has DX10 and HDCP support. It's a no-brainer-- If you are going to upgrade an old AGP system, why not go for the last and best AGP card ever made? If you want anything more powerful, you'd have to buy a whole new PCIExpress system.|||sorry but i just bought one from my friend

Can i add hdmi pci card to my xp computer?
hi i have an older computer the processor is intel pentium d and have 2gb ram and 256mb video card right now I want to get an hdmi port on the computer so i was wondering if i buy a pci hdmi card will it work??????? my computer has all the slots including x16|||It won't be PCI, it will be PCI-E x16
HDMI ports are built-in to newer graphics cards. You would simply upgrade your old card to something that has one.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as…|||I don't see any reason why it wouldn't, it would work just as well though to buy an adapter for your existing video port, assuming it's DVI of course. if you only have a VGA port then you won't get the full HD quality.|||I think so but not sure dont take my word i might be wrong

Does getting a HDMI Video Graphics Card make the picture a lot better?
I just bought a LG 22' monitor. It has HD capabilities. I went to the store to be a dvi d cable but I did not see a change. Then my friend told me that buying a new video card like Radeon 512MB PCI Express HDMI Video Graphics Card will make a big difference and I will be able to see the picture clearer. Is this true?|||DVI-D and HDMI carry the exact same digital video signal, with enough bandwidth for 2560x1600 @ 60 Hz. It would make no difference. Either one would provide an improvement in sharpness over VGA when connected to a LCD monitor, though the improvement might not be detectable for lower-resolution LCDs.|||Yes, it works just like a TV with HD would.|||Not really. DVI will transfer the same as HDMI when it comes to computer graphics. Maybe later on down the road...
But compared to VGA.. HDMI and DVI will look tons better.|||No DVI is just as good as HDMI, the only difference is that HDMI carries audio as well as video.

I looking to update my computer video card?
I'm looking to update video card asap is GeForce GTX 550 Ti FPB 1024 MB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 2DVI/Mini-HDMI SLI Ready Graphics Card, 01G-P3-1556-K... Still good for WoW or is there something better for UNDER $150?... Games the computer plays A LOT WoW and some simulator's|||That graphics card is more than sufficient to run WOW. You could play newer generation games on medium to high setting with little or no problem. Make sure your computer is compatible with it first though. Check the pci express slot and recommended power supply for the card. I could do it for you if you were to give your computer power supply (or information to lead me there)|||The best card that you can get for your budget of $150 is this :
SAPPHIRE 100315L Radeon HD 6850 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card with Eyefinity - $140 at newegg
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as…
This card can let you play ALL games on high settings and some on max settings.
While the gtx 550ti can only let you play all games on mid-high settings.
Basically, the Radeon HD6850 is the best budget GPU today in the market =P
Power requirement - 500w or greater, thus a 600w +80 branded PSU is ideal.
To compare the two cards: Benchmark
GeForce GTX 550 Ti -Ranked #43
http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/gpu.ph…
Radeon HD 6850 - ranked #16
http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/gpu.ph…|||thats good noeugh to play WoW.

How can I switch video cards easily so i can use hdmi to tv?
My hdmi slot is on integrated card and I have pci video card being used so hdmi slot won't work. how can I switch easily between video cards so i can use hdmi to tv when I want to?|||both integrated and pci video cards should work together. sometimes whar people put in PIC cards they will disablt the integrated card in the BIOS so it ain't taking away from the system RAM.
Go in to the BIOS and enable the integrated card|||You better buy a new video card with S-Video Out ,and you can't switch between cards the only way to do that by removing the pci card manually from the computer.

Is My Pci E broken or is it my video card?
ok while putting in my video card i had to be a lil rough with it and i was worried because all the plugs i have DVI, VGA, HDMI will not work because my screen does not receive a connection from it for some reason. i suspect i might have done something to my pci e or my video card is broken my screen was fine because it was working before i put in the new graphics card my graphics card is a ATI Radeon 4770 Series Please and Thank You|||You should NOT force any card into any slot, they slide in with just a little wiggling. I install several dozen a day.
I agree with the other guy, the slots AND the cards are relatively robust and will handle a BIT of clumsiness.
It is simple to figure out. Try the card in another PCIe16 slot or if you only have one slot, try the card in another computer. OR try someone else's card in your slot. That will determine whether the issue is the card or the slot (motherboard).
Go into the bios and make sure that it is set to card as opposed to integrated. Make sure you follow directions for the install properly In some cases, you install the card first, then the drivers, in other cases you install the drivers first. (when all else fails, read directions). Go into device manager then display adapters and make sure you see your new card, not the old one.
I doubt the screen i s broken, but thank you for mentioning it. You should also try with another hdmi or dvi cable. MOST techs prefer dvi plus spidf on our desktop boxes because it is a better, more robust connection, but we usually use hdmi on our notebooks to cut down on clutter. Make sure you use ONE cable at a time, not multiples like on a TV.|||I've been a little rough with my cards when building computers and they worked fine. Most likely your video card is defective.

Question about getting a new pci video card?
i know pci videocards are obsolete nowadays but thats all my computer can use........i am trying to decide between 2 cards....my monitor supports both dvi and hdmi......the only card i can find with hdmi is a Diablotek AP4350 512MD2-H VTX Radeon HD 4350 Video Card - 512MB DDR2, PCI, DVI, VGA, HDMI......i cant find any reviews on it and was wondering if it was a good one? the other card supports dvi and iassume it is a good one
EVGA 01G-P1-N948-LR GeForce 9400 GT Video Card - 1GB DDR2, PCI (Dual Link) Dual DVI, HDTV, VGA, Low Profile.......i play games like everquest WoW and microsoft flight simulator and a want one that will run these game alright and i also wanna run windows 7 aero.......any ideas?|||Honestly it's gonna be worth popping the extra money for a new motherboard and getting yourself into the PCI Express x16 standard. You'll get a hell of alot more bang for your buck that way.
