Can someone please help me install ati theater pro 500 pci express card for my pc?

I have a emachines w3506 desktop PC, and it has a ati raedon express 200 card allready installed as the video card, and when i try to install my ati tuner card, when i restart the computer there is no video input, what should i do, the monitor is blank, is there somekind of conflict with my current video card? can anyone help me, would be appreciated.|||An ATI Radeon™ 9600 or newer graphics card is required for optimal display output quality.



ATI Radeon Express 200 is integrated graphics, not a card.



That Emachine model has a PCI-Express x16 slot for a video card. I don't know what power supply it has, so I can't recommend a video card for it.

What is better a Diamond ATI HD4870 1GB GDDR5 PCI-Express Video Card or a XFX Radeon HD4870 XXX Edition 1G?

They're the same card. XFX is generally regarded as having better quality, and should come with a lifetime warranty, so get the XFX.|||http://tessoffice.webs.com/

Can you combine a PCI and PCI-E video card?

I have a Nvidia 8500GT (PCI-E 512) and an ATI Radeon something(PCI 256) if i put them on the same comp, can i comebine them to make a 768 mb video card or something along those lines|||No, you cannot. Not only do you have bus problems (PCIe and PCI), you have different graphics cores that do not support bridging to one another.



If your motherboard supports Crossfire on the first two PCIe slots, then you can combine two ATI crossfire-capable cards using the crossfire bridge.



Similiarly, if your motherboard supports SLI, then you can combine two Nvidia SLI-capable cards in the first two PCIe slots.|||SLI on NVIDIA platforms and Crossfire on AMD/ATI platforms allow you to combine two PCI-Express cards together to have increased performance out of one of the cards, if that's what you're thinking. It does not work with mixing different buses (PCI-Express, AGP, PCI). The video memory from one card can't be shared with another card that way.



You can, however, use them together for a dual-monitor solution, say watch YouTube on the monitor connected to regular PCI while playing Battlefield 2142 or some other game on the monitor connected to PCI-Express. On another note, you can also do this on an SLI or Crossfire board, but then those technologies have to be turned off.|||You can put them both in the same computer, but any game you run will only use one of the cards.



The only useful purpose of adding the PCI card would be if you want to use several computer screens at the same time. The 8500GT probably has connections for two screens, if you want more you add the Radeon card.|||that's gotta be the wierdest version of Sli meets crossfire i've ever heard of ...and btw...NO YOU CANNOT haha if u put in both you'd be screwing up your mobo sooo i wouldnt recommend it, just use the PCIE it's 16x faster then pci, sell the radeon bro or invest in a new mobo and by another of the EXACT card for an nvidia sli setup|||One big reason why not to do such to your computer. You will have to have 2 differant drivers, not to mention ONE NVIDIA driver and ONE ATI driver all operating with the same operating system. It would cause such a caos in your system it would probally send out a loud brain fart from all the conflicts...|||No, with your powers combine you cannot create Captain Planet. But if you tape them together, you can make a Nvidia Radeon 8500000000GTX Ultra Edition|||No, but you can use them both to set up a dual monitor situation.|||No it is not Possible to Combine Any Pci-E or Pci Card with each other|||No ,its imposible|||Nope.

Sapphire ATI X1650Pro - 512MB AGP Video Card vs. GIGABYTE ATI Radeon HD4550 512MB DDR3 DVI/HDMI PCI-ExpressVid?

Ok im trying to see which one of these video cards would be best to use on a Hp pavilion 7965 to play world of warcraft.



*Sapphire cost: $66.99 but then i would have to buy a new battery pack 350 watt+ which would cost and extra $30



*GIGABYTE cost : $46.99 , idk what type of Battery pack i would need for Hp pavilion 7965 if you know can you tell me cause if i need a higher battery pack i will get 256MB GIGABYTE nVidia GeForce 6200 Video Card if it can work on my computer if you know answer that too plz :).



So which on do you think i should get for my HP Pavilion 7965?|||You CANNOT use the Radeon HD4550 at all. That card is a PCIExpress video card, and your Pavilion 7965 does NOT have a PCIExpress 16x slot to accomodate it.



The X1650Pro AGP should work in that Pavilion since the 7965 does have an AGP slot, but that is NOT a good choice.



The best and last AGP card ever made is the ATI Radeon HD3850 AGP. If you are going to do an AGP upgrade, that is the card you want. http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductLis…



Hope this helps.



EDITED TO ADD: The X1650 is two generations older than the HD3850. Consequently the X1650 is rather outdated and does not support DirectX10 or HDCP. The HD3850 is relatively recent and has DX10 and HDCP support. It's a no-brainer-- If you are going to upgrade an old AGP system, why not go for the last and best AGP card ever made? If you want anything more powerful, you'd have to buy a whole new PCIExpress system.|||sorry but i just bought one from my friend

What Ati video card should I use?

I had an 8600gt that went bad. I have a 600w power supply. My motherboard has pci-express 16x, but not 2.0. Is there a decent Ati card that doesn't require any extra power connection. Possibly the equivalent to an 8600gt or better?|||it is not a problem of pci e 2 or 1

here is a gay have HD 5850 on a an old motherboard

GIGABYTE is much better for quality and overclocking

What would be the best video card for a Dell Dimension C521? Is it better than the ATI Radeon X1300 Pro?

I have a Dell Dimension C521 and I'm currently using a ATI Radeon X1300 Pro it is a PCI-E x16 slot. I was wondering if i could upgrade to another video card better than the one i have now? Since my Dell model is slimmer than others like the E521, I'm not sure i can upgrade. If anybody has any suggestions or info that may help i would appreciate it. Thank You!|||It seems, the only thing that differentiates C521 from the others is that it's based on the standard low profile case (I think so - you will have to check it. Judging by the image I found I'm correct but it'll never hurt to make sure) It's very unlikely that Dell would go through the trouble of creating a new videocard specifically for a slim case.

Anyway, to upgrade, you will need another low profile videocard. I might be wrong but I think the top card for any low profile system is 8600gt.

If this not it, you're stuck with either HD2400 or 8400gs - there are a few manufacturers of either of these cards, neither of which will give you much of a performance increase over your x1300.



The only suggestion I can give you is replace the case of your computer with the standard mid tower. Somehow I think you will dislike the idea but it's the only idea that will allow you to widen the horizon of your options regarding not only your video but other components as well. But then again - it all depends on how much you need that and how much you like that slim case.



To the wise guy below - yes, the slimness does matter, since non-slim video card will not allow the case to close, and low profile card also has shorter mounting bracket - any other video card cannot be mounted to the case, since it'll stick way out.|||the slimness doesn't matter as the expansion card cage is mounted sideways - just make sure it is pci-e 16 compatible.

TV video problems with ATI all in wonder 128 pci card and ATI RAGE 128?

I am having very strange problems with my graphic cards. I have dell

240GX and it came with ATI rage 128 Ultra. I had All in wonder. Today

I have decided to use it, so I installed it in this machine. When i

booted up my machine the MMC stopped working. I went into the bios and

changed the primary video controller from AGP to AUTO.

Now MMC is running but I can not see the tv. I can hear the audio but

there is no TV video just blank ( black) tv window.

Anybody have any idea how to solve this problem.

I am running Win XP Pro with sp2. One

more thing if disable ATI Rage card in device manager then I am able to

see the tv video.



Thanks|||im not sure if you meant TV as your monitor or you hooked up your computer to your TV. If you make this clear it would help.|||no clue
