Will a ddr2 card work with ddr3 ram

 

[SlackerITGuy]

Will a GDDR2 video card work with DDR3 RAM? Is that it?

Of course.

One has nothing to do with the other.

Now, the real question is... Why would you like a card with just GDDR2 having an i5 750.

The only relative new cards I can think of with GDDR2 RAM are the Radeon HD 4300 series / 4600 series. I'm sure there are others.

Assuming seeing that this is in the graphics card forum I would assume you are referring to the memory on the video card. If so then it makes no difference what is on a video card in relation to what is used by the motherboard, as the two have nothing to do with each other.

Ok then it has to be the driver I used a video card I had it has gdrr2 on it but when I install the drivers it slows the pc down so bad that it frezzes up

i see you have an EVGA 6200 is that an agp x4 card ? if so that will slow you down ,did you try loading the drivers in compat mode?

 

[a911master]

EVGA 6200 PCI.
How do i load the drivers in compat mode

 

[a911master]

Sparkle GeForce GT 220 Video Card - 1024MB DDR3, PCI-Express 2.0, DVI, HDMI, VGA at TigerDirect.com would this be a nice card to use

 

[SlackerITGuy]

Purpose?

Gaming?, every day tasks?, etc.

 

[a911master]

everyday task and 3d modeling and rendering

 

[SlackerITGuy]

I would go for an Radeon HD 4670

XFX Radeon HD 4670 Video Card - 1GB GDDR2, PCI Express 2.0, CrossFireX Ready, Dual DVI, HDTV, HDMI Support at TigerDirect.com

Outperforms the GT 220 at roughly the same price.

 

[a911master]

If change the refresh rate will it speed up the time it takes pages to load

 

[a911master]

is it possible that the ram and processor are giving the data to the video card faster then it can take it

 

[Frostmourne]

Did you put that card in? It doesn't see right that a Core i5 would have a 6200 for company.

 

[a911master]

it was the card i used from my old setup

 

[Frostmourne]

Replace it with a 5850 for DirectX 11 or a 4890 if you don't want to spend too much. Did your motherboard even have an AGP slot?

 

[a911master]

no this is a pci card

 

[Frostmourne]

no this is a pci card

Either way, replace it, its obsolete.

THanks will this card improve my wei EVGA GeForce GTX 275 Video Card - 1792MB, PCI Express 2.0 x16, SLI Ready, (dual link) Dual DVI, HDTV, HDMI (w/ Adapter) at TigerDirect.com

 

[SlackerITGuy]

Like you wouldn't believe.

Although, for that price, you could do much better.

Like a Radeon HD 5850.

It's a bit unusual to see a PCI card in a Core I5 system, even though it works.

The GTX275 is a good card. I think I'd go for the standard model (896MB of VRAM) rather than the double RAM one (1792MB), unless you have a 30" monitor (2560X1600 pixels). At www.newegg.com, a standard GTX275 can be had for about $240. I suppose that TigerDirect may be about the same.

Alternately, you could consider an ATI Radeon 4870 ($175), 4890 ($200), or 5850 ($300). The 5850 is ATI's newest technology. It'll outperform the GTX275 (and the GTX285, nVidia's best single GPU card), and it also supports DX11. (That may be relevant later; there aren't many DX11 games at the moment.) The 5870 is ATI's highest-end single GPU card, but it's more expensive ($400).

Any of them will improve your WEI, if that's important to you.
