Basically if you have a board with IGP or multi GPU setup this trick can ban tried.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

hi fellas,
i got an intel motherboard, and im thinking of getting a gpu.
i had decided on nvidia's 9400gt, but as my chipset is ati, would that be a problem? i have a free pciex16 slot (that black one with a lever thingy)
details :

Northbridge ATI RS400/RC400/RC410 rev. 01
Southbridge ATI SB400 rev. 80
Mainboard Model D102GGC2
Display adapter 0
Name ATI RADEON XPRESS 200
Memory size 256 MB

note, im only doing this coz my mobo vid does not show red channels, so im just getting a cheap gpu to fix that. price : 2500, nehru place.
if anyone can get me a better deal, i have no problem, but do try to keep it below 3k.

thanks
edit:
will the onboard power be enough? do i need a psu power cable? i got a 400W smps, it came with the cabinet (iball, a sorta curvy design with a handle on the top, sory, forgot the name). i checked on some site, and it tells me i need a minimum 350W smps to run all my hardware(gpu included)
cpu : Intel(R) Pentium(R) D CPU 2.80GHz SmithField
1 tb seagate sata
1 lg optical drive
???

hey thanks for the reply guys, i just want a gpu to fix the display problem(no red channel)
in light of all this awesome info, i've decided to buy the HD 4650, or if i can get a good price, the 5550

^^ if no gaming than go ahead. but in case of gaming, its a very bad & poor choice. the PSU should be enough but as always, never trusted these local/Chinese cheap electronic items. when they go off, you never know.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

And there will be no problem to plug an nVidia card with ATI chipset based mobo. If you have a PCI Express X16 slot then uou can plug any PCI express Graphics card on it, irrespective the graphics card chip manufacturer or your motherboard chip manufacturer.
And 9400 GT is really a very poor choice as gaming card. Get at least a 9600 GT or Radeon HD 4670. Both are available within 4K.

The D102GGC2 has a PCI.Ex16 expansion slot so you can place a discrete GPU. If you get a GPU which just picks power via the dock then you should be fine with the PSU. If you get one which requires a separate cable connector for power, then you would need to replace the GPU.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

was browsing the asus website and found these 2 variants of amd 6850

EAH6850 DC/2DIS/1GD5 ASUSTeK Computer Inc.

EAH6850 DC/2DIS/1GD5/V2 ASUSTeK Computer Inc.

the only diff i could spot was the "50% off of TriDef® 3D Experience" on the V2
the specs are also the same

is there any substantial diff. between the two??

guys any headsup on this:sad:

Yo Gamerz..


I have one issue with my display. When i m playing mafia II or , dirt2 (in dx9) or F1 2010, ( all games at 1920*1080) i see some very light horizontal lines moving upwards from base of monitor . they are very light, and can be seen only upon proper observation( esp. in game menus , and in mafia II, when i am looking at walls ). I dont see these lines in all games, but only in the games which i mentioned above. Issue does not occour on normal desktop usage.
These lines do not occur in battlefield BC2 , SBK 09, or NFS undercover. Is there any problem with my grafix card? Btw, i use normal VGA cable and not DVI cable.
Any help would be appreciated .


cheers !!

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

thanks for the info guys, im gonna buy a hd 4650 or 5550 if i can stretch it.
i just want a gpu for correcting the red color in the display(the mobo wont show it, the monitor is ok, i checked with the laptop). i admit i was influenced by online ads in my choice.
but thanks to digit, i am making the right choice. :)

ps, if anyone can give me an idea of prices in nehru place, it'd be REALLY appreciated

Really hard to say with this is. Try another driver version. Your card seems fine.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

Aren't these the old ones?

ATIs are overpriced by 5k and GTX580 underpriced by 5k.

I don't believe in these prices. In international market HD6970 is 140$ less than GTX 580. So there is no way both cards will be equally priced in indian market

^^ But it is. That is how we are cursed. When the whole world get it for a decent price, it's at peak price here in India. WTF!!!!

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

If this is the case, then nvidia cards become highly recommended over the amd ones on top end segment.

Yes, the AMD Session was over by HD58XX series. They were priced reasonably (not enuff reasonable for mid-range market) and now, they started to act like a morons.

I bought HD4670 only because it falls under my budget, doesnt need external power and competes with 8800. Better deal, but the scenario changed now. NVIDIA's up in the race.
