i gettin ~20 fps on dragon age 2 with my current config
is it ok or my cpu bottlenecking the gpu ?

CPU bottlenecking gpu by a long margin, get a new cpu, that 460 performing like 9800GTX in your setup.

first wait for the latest patches for this game/drivers for the gfx card
on the other hand u can OC ur proccy a bit to ward off this problem

@tathaga

OC your cpu. if fps increases, cpu is the bottleneck. if fps does not increase, OC your gpu.

Actually it isn't. It is a game problem which will be fixed.

vamsi has Q8200 + HD 4890 and he's getting completely fine performance in the game.

GTX 460 = HD 4890
Athlon II 635 = Q8200

Re: Graphics Cards related "general" queries here.

but my friend has 5770 and he doesnt even have the HIGH and VERY HIGH option in dx9
so is vamsi on VERY HIGH or HIGH matters

Re: Graphics Cards related "general" queries here.

I am trying to connect my laptop to my tv.

My laptop has the following graphic card - NVIDIA GeForce 9300M GS / Intel GMA 4500MHD and an HDMI as well as a VGA output.

My tv does not have an HDMI input so I tried to connect using a VGA to component (Red/Blue/Green, Y/Pb/Pr) cable but it didn't work.

I am wondering if I could use a VGA to s-video cable since my tv has s-video input. Or any other cable?

Thank you

Even I'd like to see the solution for this. Please pm me if you find the solution.

Re: Graphics Cards related "general" queries here.

Friends forgive me for posting the following queries here, i did not want to start a special thread.

How does one judge or come to a conclusion whether a particular Processor will be bottlenecked by a particular Graphics Card? Does one follow a "standard chart"?

I ask this naive query because i intend on purchasing a recently launched graphics card & my current processor (AMD Athlon II X2 240) is not suited for it.

Also, a friend intends on building a system for himself. He wants to get an AMD Athlon II X4 (model has not been decided) & a ATI Radeon HD 5770. Are the Athlon II X4s suited for gaming?

I apologise for perhaps posting queries that are irrelevant to this thread.

Its very Simple !

Will u compare LARGE DOSA with LARGE SIZE PIZZA , both are large but calories are higher in pizza !

Many games are CPU dependent games like CRYSIS etc.. which needs more juice from CPU to run the game & graphics to render from GPU ! so both are much important !

Re: Graphics Cards related "general" queries here.

Hey guys.. my first query over a Graphic Card.. and it goes something like this...

I need a very basic Graphic Card for the very basic purpose of watching 720p videos, and/or possibly 1080p. Not for gaming purpose, but I guess if it can play 720p then it will play most of the casual games too.

Oh, and here is my config...
Intel Pentium 4 processor, 2.4 GHz
RAM: 1 GB DDR1,
OS: Windows 7, 32-bit
Intel(R) 82845G/GL/GE/PE/GV Graphics Controller (copied from Device manager, thot might be useful)
Monitor: Dell 19" LCD (1909w)

I have tweaked many settings in Windows 7, so it runs smoothly. The only problem I face is the inability to play vids above 720p. It runs but video lags too much too handle.
I wanted to know from the experts here in TDF, about the most basic graphic card, compatible to my config, so that atleast HD vids play smoothly. Does the processor bottleneck would apply here?

I am planning to upgrade PC soon, but until then I want to keep even Pen 4 to acceptable levels. I hope you understand my sentiments

Re: Graphics Cards related "general" queries here.

^^ what's your mobos model No and manufacturer ?? does it has any AGP slot ??

Honestly there's no point in investing in the old rig as you are going to upgrade soon - save the money and buy better components later for the new pc - peace

Instead , why not get a Phenom ll x4 955 BE , which costs just around rs 6.5k and get a Geforce 550Ti ?

Not really will a CPU be bottle necked via a GPU. It is the other way round. The GPU gets bottle necked by the CPU. Once your cross 1080pi or greater most CPU bottle necks are minimal. AT II X4's are fine for gaming. They should pair decent with the HD5770.

Well, I may not upgrade. I kinda planning to buy a completely new rig. So I wanted to make my old one on par to fulfill at least the basic needs of today's.
My Mobo is, Mercury P1845Z. Below is the screenshot of what CPU-Z shows.
Also, I don't know, if I have AGP slot. Since I am totally n00b in h/w stuff. A pic of what AGP slot looks like, would be very useful.
