JAD is jetAudio. It's now been renamed as Cowon Audio Center. I used it a long time back, during my Windows XP days.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

^^ your system is too old so I would suggest investing in a new rig - if you still want to keep that rig then try looking for gfx cards based on either HD3450 or HD 4350 - they should be around 2-3k - best of luck in finding them :p
Hi Topgear..i think the above answer is for me. could please little elaborate it. because i know almost nothing abt graphics card. is it problem to find out these kind of graphic card on the market(kolkata). or if i found it or installe it on my computer then system will run smoothly..
actually i dont want to invest much on this system.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

you guys are talking about the gf 104 a.k.a gtx 460 right?

yup. GTX460. and after going though Fudzilla i was just stunned. eahc manufacturer launched at least 2-3 cards based on same die. EVGA went all guns & released 6 :shock: GTX460. so let the fight begin :twisted:

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

Hi guys can u please help me. My system is little bit old. right now i m working on Win & Operating system. what i found that i could not play even a little hi resolution video. I have 1 gb ram but no dedicated graphic memory. as i alreadt dated earlier that my Motherboard is old one so it have 3 PCI slot (Ultra DMA 66/100/133 master mode PCI EIDE controller) and 1 AGP port( AGP v3.0 compliant with 8x transfer mode ). can u please suggest what graphic card can i use in my system to play HD movie.

Hi Topgear..i think the above answer is for me. could please little elaborate it. because i know almost nothing abt graphics card. is it problem to find out these kind of graphic card on the market(kolkata). or if i found it or installe it on my computer then system will run smoothly..

The latest generation gfx cards and mobos broadly available in the market uses PCI-E x16 interface and it's quite easy to find them and there prices are also cheaper.

OLD generation gfx cards cards and mobos uses AGP interface ( 4x and 8x ) which is obsolete now - so manufacturers are not interested too much in making them - that's why there prices are high.

HD movies can be best viewd when decoded by the modern gen gfx cards - their chipset has dedicated functionality to decode HD movies.

If you want to view HD movies with a gfx card or mobo which gfx chipset don't has HD decoding capabilities then your CPU will decode those HD movies but for that you will need a very powerful and pricey cpu but it's not very practical as even a low priced gpu like 8400GS around 1.6k is better in handling Hd movies than a powerful cpu.

Sure you could still find some old cheap agp cards based on nvidia 5xxx, 6xxx, 7xxx series in here but as per your requirement they are not suitable as those chipset don't has dedicated HD decoding capabilities - so they will offload that task to cpu and as your's is a very weak one it will be not able to decode those high resolution HD movies properly - that's why they will be very slow or even unplayable.

So to view HD movies properly you will need a gfx card which chipset has dedicated HD decoding feature like ATI HD3450 or HD4350 based on AGP interface - this cards will not overload your cpu while watching HD movies - so every HD movies will be playable in your old rig.

one caution before buying : though any AGP card should work fine make sure to check your mobo manufacturers website for any kind of compatibility issue. you have not written in your post which mobo and cpu you have.

But the only catch is their availability - it's very hard to find AGP cards based on HD 4350 or HD 3450 in the local market - so best in luck in finding them ( let me know if you find them in the local market ).

BTW, if you can then order from on-line shops :p

So,is there any chance of price drops for video cards in next one or two months ???

I'm also waiting for a price cut though on both ATI HD 5xxx series and nvidia 2xx series :p

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

Does it boot normally using the IGP..?

yes using the internal graphics...it boots normally..

It does not matter what revision the PCIx16 socket is and the driver version, cause the VGA accelerator drivers only kick - in once Windows OS has loaded. Seems weird that the boot time is so long. And you are saying, that for the POST screen to appear it takes 30-40 seconds..? Is the IGP disabled..?

Ya...even thats what i m thinking...that i need to disable onboard graphics option but i m not able to find that setting in the BIOS...

No buddy you're wrong. The gtx 460 is beating the 5770 in all the apps and by a big margin and is even beating the 5830. The best thing is its even running cooler than the 5770. Way to go gf 104.

i was talking about performance per watt... see it again
i know its a lil bit cooler than 5770 but i'm talkin about watt usage
