Description:

Enjoy powerful graphics performance, improved stability, and an immersive HD gaming experience for Windows Vista. ATI Catalyst software is designed for quick setup of graphics, video, and multiple displays, and automatically configures optimal system settings for lifelike DirectX 10 gaming and the visually stunning Windows Aero user interface. By allowing the graphics processing unit (GPU) to share the capacity and bandwidth of dedicated video memory and dynamically available system memory, TurboCache turbocharges performance and provides larger total graphics memory. Ensure top-notch compatibility and performance for all OpenGL 2.1 application. World's first DirectX 10 GPU with full Shader Model 4.0 support delivers unparalleled levels of graphics realism and film-quality effects. Shader Model 4.0 adds support for indexed temporaries which can be quite useful for certain tasks.Regular direct temporary access is preferable is most cases. One reason is that indexed temporaries are hard to optimize. The shader optimizer may not be able to identify optimizations across indexed accesses that could otherwise have been detected. Furthermore, indexed temporaries tend to increase register pressure a lot. An ordinary shader that contains for instance a few dozen variables will seldom consume a few dozen temporaries in the end but is likely to be optimized down to a handful depending on what the shader does. This is because the shader optimizer can easily track all variables and reuse registers. This is typically not possible for indexed temporaries, thus the register pressure of the shader may increase dramatically. This could be detrimental to performance as it reduces the hardware’s ability to hide latencies.

Question  Laptops by Billy

does this graphics card work with this laptop http://www.pcworld.co.uk/gbuk/compaq-cq62-221sa-06474375-pdt.html

Answer by richardd on Thursday, September 2, 2010
Hi Billy, unfortunately you wouldnt be able to upgrade the graphics in that laptop with any standard VGA card. Generally laptop graphics card built in and you are unable to change them

Question  Question by Matthew

Would this graphincs card be adequate for watching videos on youtube and gaming? and would it work on windows 7?

Answer by gavin on Wednesday, September 1, 2010
Yes it would be adequate for those purposes.It also works on windows 7

Question  Dual Monitors by Altrozero

Looks like this graphics card has a VGA and DVI? Will I be able to plug a monitor in to each and use it for splitting my desktop rather than just sharing?

Answer by stevenl on Thursday, June 10, 2010
Yes you could.

Question  Question by mike

will that fit in emachines e3038?

Answer by stevenl on Wednesday, June 2, 2010
Assuming your Emachines e3038 had a PCI-Express port, then while I cannot guarantee compatibility, this card should be fine.

Question  PCI-E by Robinz

Hi, my pc only has PCI ports, are there any adapters you can buy ect so i can use this graphics card which needs a PCI express port.

Thanks for your help

Answer by stevenl on Monday, May 3, 2010
Unfortunately, that wouldn't be possible.
