Will this graphic card fit on my motherboard?

Will I need a new Powersupply my current is 400W

My current Video card is single slot, the new one is dual slot but my Aver Media TV tuner slot is right underneath current video card.|||http://common.ziffdavisinternet.com/util…



The HD 5770 has a large cooler. It will get obstructed by the TV Tuner card. It is only possible to mount the HD 5770 if you are willing to give up/remove the tuner card.



HD5770 consumes up to ~108 watts. If your power supply has strong +12V rails (25 Amps or more) it can power the HD 5770,

Here are some actual total system power consumption;

Why is this video card so cheap?

I was looking on http://www.compusa.com for video cards and I'm seeing this one is 191 US(220 CAD) including shipping and I'm wondering why is this so cheap compared to other places. Is there something wrong with this particular card like stuff not included or installed?

http://www.thetechlounge.com/article/562…|||Did you ask whether this is brand new, or secondhand? Some devices are raped over 9000, and this might have a hand on the low price of the gizmo. Another thing is that it might have some problems with its structure, or it offers a totally different product from what is specified.

What does "overclocked" mean when talking about video cards?

I have been shopping for a video card for my Dell 531s slim Desktop so I can run dual monitors. I am not a gamer. I keep seeing the term "overclocked"...what does this mean? In layman's terms please.

Also, if you know, what video card would you recommend for me to buy so I can run dual monitors just for general web browsing? My motherboard only has one monitor output so I need one more which I suppose means I need to buy a video card. thanks|||You know how processor speeds are measured in Ghz? That's the "clock speed" of the processor.



Like right now, my computer is running on a 3 Ghz processor.



Basically, overclocking is making the something run at a higher "clock speed" than it's supposed to. I could set my computer to run at 3.15 Ghz if I wanted to and see some slight performance increase.



A video card is the same thing, it's also a processor. Overclocking it is basically making it run at a faster speed than it was originally designed for, so that it gets better performance.



That's all there it to it really.



Perhaps another thing I should mention. The only drawback to doing this is that it produces more heat. But an overclocked video card will usually come equipped with a bigger fan to compensate for it.|||Overlocking means running a graphics card, processor or RAM at higher frequency than intended. This almost always void warrantry's and for large overclocks you need a special cooler to stop it from overheating (its dangerous if you do not know what you are doing).



For example if I have a core i7 920 processor, which runs at 2.66GHz normally, and I overclock it to 2.8 GHz, i did an overclock of 140 MHz. The processor will now run faster so calculate data faster, but also produce more heat.



The same can be done with graphics cards but these are more risky (coolers are usually very bad). You can overclock the Memory speed (sort of RAM for the video card), the core speed (like the processor in the video card) and the shader speed.



Hope i helped!|||In layman's terms overclocking means increasing the speed of the device. When you see overclocked graphics cards for sale, that just means the manufacturer decided to do that. So your warranty will not be void because of this.



Usually graphics cards with dual output will allow you to use multiple monitors.

How do I foce my computer to keep dual-monitor output ON at all times?

I have a (very new and shiny) PC with a very (also new and shiny) high-end

video card (nVidia, dual DVI-out). I have one plug going to a 43'' plasma TV

that is basically a digital billboard in a hallway for an organization.



The other DVI-out on the video card was plugged into a really crappy 13''

monitor (set as the primary display).



When we were done getting it all set, I stuck the computer under a desk and

decided I could just use VNC or something if I needed to interact with it's

desktop.



But when I unplug the 13'' POS monitor, after the next reboot it is disabled

as a monitor, it's re-adjusted the TV as the primary and only monitor, and my

taskbar/desktop/etc are showing around the digital signage that I want it to

show.



I can adjust the resolution to make it look just fine in single monitor

mode, but then everyone looking at the sign sees my desktop as I'm making

changes to it or controlling it via VNC remote desktop link. And that's no

bueno.|||You will have to keep a monitor plugged into the computer. There is no way that I am aware of to force the computer to keep dual monitor output on at all times.

Can I connect one CRT monitor, one LCD monitor, and one LCD TV to one video card?

I have a fairly old Dell 15" and a new Samsung 19" currently connected to my computer. They both work fine together, as my Nvidia 6600 GT has dual output. Now, I want to add my 40" Haier TV (which has a VGA port) as a third screen.



Normally, I wouldn't think this possible with one video card, but I have a splitter that converts my DVI port on my PC into a DVI and VGA port. With 2 VGA ports and one DVI port (this is after using the splitter, of course) is it possible to connect three monitors to one video card?



I've already tried simply plugging in and restarting the computer, but that doesn't seem to work. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!|||It *seems* as if it should work. Both screens hooked up to the splitter should (will) show the same thing, of course.



The problem may be that most monitors today are plug-and-play. *That* means that your video board can detect what type of monitor is plugged into it. With two monitors plugged into one video socket, Windows probably gets pretty confused.



Another possibility is that you cannot connect a DVI *and* vga to the same video card connector at the same time. I know DVI analog is *compatible* with DB-15, but maybe DVI-analog uses lines in the graphics card that DB-15 does not and your graphics card is getting confused.



Perhaps you can force the issue by removing device drivers for those two "united" monitors and installing the "default monitor" driver instead. You should be able to get standard resolutions and maybe keep the OS from trying to find out what type of monitor is connected. This should solve the Plug-n-Play problem, but not the 2nd problem (if it is one).



Of course, you can always get another nVidia board - now you can support 4 monitors with 2 boards, and 7300LEs are *cheap*. :) Then you can get a different view on every screen instead of just two.



I hope this helps.

Sometimes no video card output, strage problem! Help needed!?

Hi guys,



I have a strange problem (I have actually registered hete to post it): My NVidia 250 GTS is sometimes not recognised by my computer.

I've tried:

- Cleaning, replugging cables, checking everything...

- checking my screen + cable. Nothing wrong.

- videocard in another computer, 3 day boot sequence and benchmarks, all green light.

- another PSU, not the problem.

- updating BIOS, not the problem.

- reinstalling + updating drivers.



Right now I'm on my onboard graphics card, which always works when my videocard doesnt. Once in a while, my videocard gives output, and I haven't been able to spot any pattern when it's doing so...



My rig:

Intel Quad core Q6600, 4 GB RAM

NVidia GeForce 250 GTS, 256 MB

650 GB HDD, Windows 7 32bit + Ubuntu 10.10 dual-boot



Please respond, I'm out of options...



Thanks in advance,

Hidde|||Can you please ask the question in Ubuntu Forum?

http://ubuntuforums.org/

It is much more easier to answer questions there than in yahoo answers. Ubuntu forum is the proper place for asking any kind of question (dumb or smart) related to ubuntu. Thousands of users are there, so you'll get your answer quickly and correctly.

Pc to tv can I use seperate vga output from graphics card?

My pc has a GeForce 6200le it appears to have a s-video output, but my pc also has another vga separate to the Geforce card, can I use the other vga to connect to vga on tv for dual monitor?|||According to the specs your card has VGA SVIDEO and DVI output.

So it depends on the inputs on your tv as to which one is best to use

Which ever one you use you will have to separately cater for the sound|||you should be able to. Connect it to the TV then go to video properties to define what desktop you want on the second monitor
