VIDEO CARD PROBLEM??????????????????????!…

i think i have a problem with my video card. when i play games in my computer(specially PC games and Warcraft), there are some brief pauses that i encounter. but i am wondering because my pc has good specs. i have asked this question in Y!Ans before and this one is his answer:





"It's not a problem with your video card so much as an underpowered video card. That is, it's not operating incorrectly; it's just not up to the task of playing video games. You could consider upgrading to a new graphics card except that according to http://h10010.www1.hp.com/wwpc/ph/en/ho/… , you have a "slimline" model. That refers to the narrower than normal case. It's also called "low profile." Most high-end graphics cards require a full-sized case in order to accommodate their size (especially their coolers). Here's a list of low-profile cards (or low-profile ready) cards from Newegg: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductLis… Among those, there are a couple ATI HD 4650 models, some ATI 4350 models, an Nvidia GT 240 and an Nvidia 9800GT models. I wouldn't go lower than that."



pls explain everything to me that i need to know because i think my video card is really the problem here. does it also mean that even if i have a good video card, it can't still do at its full potential since most high-end graphics cards require a full-sized case in order to accommodate their size?



btw, this is the specs of my video card and system:

don't worry! im giving 10 points if u can really help me!|||You need a video card that has a specific size. The case you have limits you to these type of 'Low Profile' cards. You also have a very small power supply that limits you even further. You would need to buy a bigger case for a larger or full sized card. You would also need to buy a bigger Power Supply as these full sized cards would not run properly on the small one you currently have.



As this is what I believe you have:

you may well need to get a newer machine in order to play the games you want. This machine seems to me to be aimed at the casual user and not a gamer because it uses an integrated video chip with a relatively low end CPU (flame retardant sprayed now). As before the only way to get better video in this box as is, is to buy a 'Low Profile' video card. In order to get one of low enough power requirements to work properly in your box, it would be of low capabilities but better than what you already use. I wouldn't expect it to be that great in terms of performance.



I hope this helps.



Good luck.|||Your video card isn't receiving enough electricity from your power supply to run efficiently and correctly. In addition, it is not correctly cooled and is overheating.|||it may not just be your video card. it could be that your processor has been used for a while so it is a little slower. mine has been doing that lately too. the only thing you have to do is update your drivers and try to stop all the processes that don't really need to be running.
