ATI Radeon X1300 Video Card Makes My Computer Noisy!!!?
Hello, I have this ATI Radeon X1300 Video Card, I like it a lot, even though it sometimes flickers the screen when I switch between resolutions, The only problem with this card is that, ITS NOISY!!! The fan is the one which is making the most noise out of this card. I removed the plug for the fan and it seems to improve the noise, but I am just scared that it will burn out my card. Is there a fan for the ATI Radeon Video Card which is EXTRA QUIET, like my Processor Fan, Case Fans, etc. ? Sorry for sounding like a pussy here lol.|||1. Yes, you will BURN UP your GPU (graphics processing unit) having the only fan that is cooling it unplugged!!!! That's crazy!!!
2. If you want a quieter fan, then you need more case fans to exhaust the heat its making out of the computer case! This will lower the air temps inside the case and the fan won't need to go to 100% to cool it down. (this is what I did)
3. You can get third party coolers that are much quieter than the stock cooling solution, but at a price...Check out Newegg.com
4. Plug the graphics card's fan back in or you will burn it up for sure!!!|||The fans on those cards were terrible.....Here is a good replacement if you want to do it yourself.
good luck....make sure you get a nice seat with the new heatsinks....|||you can always replace the fan if it isn't really soldered directly to your vga card. if it's just screwed over, you can use replacement fans or heatsinks for no noise at all. however, heatsinks aren't as good in dissipating heat. you can also try buying a separate vga card cooler. browse this site for some pics:
http://www.jetart.com|||Unplugging that little noisy fan will probably kill your video card prematurely as it will overheat.
I have one X1300 installed on my computer (512GDDR2 one), and it's not that noisy. I guess it does get a little noisier when playing games but nothing annoying really.
I guess you could try to find a fan from an old video card and try it out.
Good luck

On dell support i found that i am able to buy video cards in the 4000 series with pci?
i have some ati radeon video cards that say HD4650, and 4350 which are in the 4000 series. can i buy any ati radeon video card that has (pci) or do i stick within the 4000 series.|||be advised though , if you are going to get a higher end video card that you might need to replace the power supply also. high end vid cards use quite a bit more power and some have extra power connections which your power supply might not have|||no, you can buy any PCI-E 16x graphics card.
You can put any of the current graphics cards from ATI and Nvidia in your pc. Of course, your power supply does limit what can be run.
Don't buy from Dell though. If you are thinking of buying another graphics card, then buy one from an actual computer store or website. The reason for this is that Dell normally cost alot more.|||If they said pci then you can buy any pci card either geforce or ati/amd. pci express video cards are not compatible with pci slots so do not buy one if you do not have a pci express slot.

turn off pc, remove side cover. insert video card into either the pci slot or agp slot depending on which format your card is.
attach it to your case.turn your pc on and run software.|||The ATI Radeon X1300 runs on PCI or PCI Express. The PCI slot has a hook on the side (going towards the motherboard) of the slot. Once hooked and connected with power cables and such, just turn on your computer and install the driver provided in a CD.|||here's your manual:

You have to make sure what type of video card you have AGP or PCI Express and make sure you have a free AGP or PCI Express slot on your motherboard. If you do then do the following.
Shut Down the pc
Unplug your power cord
Open the side of your computer's case
Unscrew your monitor from the back of the video card
Unscrew and remove old video card
Insert new video card(if it's the same type) in the slot

What is the best ATI Radeon video card?
I have a X1950 card and was wondering if the higher number of the video card is better. Like is the X1950 video card better than the X1900 card?|||take it you are asking two questions in one, sort of;
the top ATI card currently is the X2-900XTX, which implements the full M$-visto support including DirectX10; the X1 serie (e.g. X1-9x0) do *NOT* support DirectX10.
does it matter? not really, right now, unless an avid gamer running Visto Ultimate (and having a game which actually uses DX-10)
the ATI card numbering has gotten a little heavy, since ATI didn't want (initially) to use five digits to number its cards. thus the use of a X (e.g. X-800, X-700 aso.) instead of the 10.
how does the same card (thus a 800) compare across different generations? based on ownership of cards from all three generations from 9 to X1, this is how it looks:
X-800XT P.E. (performance relative to 9-800XT: about 2)
9-800XT (1)
X1-600 Pro (about 0.9)
nota bene, the X1-600 is somewhat slower then the 9-800XT in absolute graphic performance but displays the Visto Aero features more smoothly (it supports Pixel Shader 3)
bottom line:
the X1-950 is still a VERY good card.
sure, if you want to play DX10 games (can actually download a hacked DX10 that installs on XP, thus don't even need Visto for that) you are out.
otherwise? just enjoy even the latest (DX9) games at highest resolutions, on XP or visto.|||no not really. the best ati card is the radeon HD 2900.

Maybe it would be, as you say, May. 2012. But here's the deal. Do you want to wait??
7-series must be a very big step for AMD to take. So the performance might went up a lot, but so is the price. Are you willing to wait and spend the money for something that might just be a rumor?

ATI radeon video card for guild wars?
i am looking for a dedsktop that is capaple of playing the game guild wars and ive found a dell that has an ATI radeon HD 4350 512 MB, but when i look at the recommended system requirements for the game it says that i need a ATI radeon 9600 is the one that this computer comes with better than that, i was wondering because it has HD before the 4350|||The ATI Radeon 9600 is an incredibly outdated card compared to the HD 4350. The 9xxx series dates back to around 2003 while the HD 4350 is only just 2008. The HD 4350 will be more than enough for Guild Wars but is still recommended if you want to play most of today's latest games with decent settings.|||The HD 4 Series is currently the highest spec'd, I think the highest now is the HD 4890.

Why do I have to disable one monitor to use s-video out on my ATI Radeon video card?
I have an ATI Radeon 2400 card, and I have dual monitors setup, but in order to use the s-video out on the card, I have to sacrifice one of my monitors and let the s-video take its place. Is there any way to change this? Not a huge deal, but it would be nice not to have to disable my second monitor.
Thanks - Colin|||The video card can only support 2 monitors. There isn't a way to fix this.

Would a hd3650 ATI Radeon video card work with call of duty 4?
Would a hd3650 ATI Radeon video card work with call of duty 4 on a desktop? What else do I need?|||Probably! Sounds like a nice card! You may need video drivers. You can get them from the manufacturers web sight. If not you can check the game developers web site. Games Domain has game patches as well. It might be good to get a patch if it exists even if if does not have anything to do with video. Game patches fix bugs in the game and upgrade it too. They could prevent a crash!|||3650 would work, dont expect insane FPS.... you might be able to run low settings and it be playable... but honestly the 3650 is just a horrible gaming card... so is the 3850... assuming you're looking at 3650's which run around 50-60 dollar mark, look at the 'XFX 8800GS XXX' on newegg.com for 84.99... if you have a PCI-E slot its the best for the money, but then there are PSU requirements as well, minimum 400 watts with 22 amps on the 12 volt rail.... if you cant afford to upgrade your power supply... the best you're gonna do is an 8600GT... which will run call of duty 4 just fine... at moderate settings|||it might

ATI Radeon video cards?
Ati radeon rage 6 and a ATI RadeonR600 are this the same card or totally different?|||As far as I can find there is no difference.|||No different, ATI renamed RAGE 128 Pro (rage 6) to radeon R100|||R600 is ATI's chip series used in there HD2000 and 3000 series cards. I think the lastest R700 used in there HD4000 series cards. Rage 6 (R100) is a much slower and older technology.

I have a eMachine T3120 I was hoping to install a low/medium level video card wanted to know any useful info.?
I know from experience my old HP would not accept an ATI Radeon video card, was just curious if eMachines had anything like that. I know my computer has a few open PCI slots, I also plan to upgrade the RAM but already have the info on that. Any information would be greatly appreciated and help my low budget gaming experience ;d|||Hi John,
Any video card you install needs to match the onboard chipset. So, if the motherboard video chipset is Nvideo, you'll want to purchase a video card with Nvideo chipset. Same goes for ATI.
I just did a google search using 'T3120, video card' as the search criteria. Alot was returned that may be useful to you. Here's the search:

Can i use an radeon video card on a computer with nvidia built in?
Not sure if i asked that right.
Basically, Im buying a partially-assembled computer that has nvidia Gforce integrated video already built in.
Instead of hunting around for a good video card, Would it be possible to use my ATI radeon video card??
Also, I have seen some video cards use DDR2 ram, My new computer will be using DDR3, Will DDR2 video cards still run properly..
Thank you..|||Yes this will work perfectly fine. The reason that this will work is because when you plug in your monitor as long as its plugged into the graphics card and not the motherboard, it will the card for display. You will need to install the appropriate drivers though once you get the card hooked up. The type of memory that a video card uses is GDDR memory. This does not have an effect on the memory you put into your motherboard.
Hope that helps,

Do I need to uninstall CCC before upgrading my ATI Radeon video card?
Both cards are relatively new, both PCI express. If I uninstall CCC, can I just re-run the CCC I downloaded a month ago to detect this new card?
I'd just like to power down and swap cards, but is that adviseable? Would CCC detect the new card automatically?|||You can power down and swap. Windows will detect the new card but might not be able to install. Once you run the ATi install, it will update Catalyst Control Center, install the drivers needed by windows, and prompt for a restart. Restart it again, you are done and fresh with ATi video power;)
***
Power down, swap cards, fire up, install the CCC for newer card, it will install drivers and ask to restart. After that, it'll pop up again and you'll be good to go. CCC installer will update the current CCC to the new one.
This is the case because updates work the same way. You have download a full CCC and install, restart when prompted, and then you'll be running the new CCC.|||Reliability and dependability.. ATi and AMD for the win;) You are welcome and thanks for the vote;)

512mb ATI Radeon Video Card for HP Laptop (dv7z series)?
A question about a video card ablity for a laptop.
When I was building a laptop I was interested in buying, I was interested in the video card. Using the model of a HP Pavilion Entertainment dv7z custom notbook, I wanted to put a 512mb ATI Radeon 3450 video card in it. However I was wondering if it could support dual monitors with the laptop being the primary one and another be the external. After doing some research I could not find a answer. My final question is can that video card support dual monitors?|||As a general rule laptops support a second monitor, as they are used for presentation software in a portable format, but only in clone mode. If you are trying to figure out if you can stretch your desktop you will have to connect and look at the video driver to see if it supports that function. A standard install of XP on an older laptop shows that you should be able to stretch across the two monitors.

ATI Video Card Question.?
Whats the difference between for example, an ATI Radeon SAPPHIRE video card ( regurdless of the model number ) and an ATI Radeon video card? whats the Sapphire part? I know a local shop that only sells Sapphire type cards, and a shop near by sells the same looking card same model same graphics and everything but without the word "Sapphire"... Any takers?|||Sapphire is just the manufacturer. ATI is the company that makes the chipset, Radeon is the model category. Just like you'll see BFG, EVGA, etc. for the NVidia chipsets (and GeForce is their most popular model at the moment).|||These days there are Sapphire, HIS, XFX, and many other aftermarket companies.
Meaning that in addition to ATI making their own graphics chip and graphics board to put the chip on, ATI also sends them the graphics chip and these aftermarket companies make their own graphics card with that chip with their own factory settings such as core clock speed, memory clock speed, and implement their own cooling design with their own aftermarket fan.
Usually, these aftermarket companies cost more than buying straight from ATI (ie. buying a card based on ATI's factory's specs) because they do some minor overclocking to the chip. So if you look carefully, these aftermarket cards will have a higher core and memory clock speed than the standard ATI reference card. Also, I'm sure if you look closely at the core and memory speeds of these aftermarket cards by Amaze, HIS, and Sapphire, you'll see that they're different. This is because different aftermarket companies customize them to different extents.
My advice is if you're going to overclock it, buy the card with the best cooling design. Else, just buy the card with the highest core and memory speed.

I would appreciate if you could help me with this issue.|||That is an integrated video, not a card, so it depends on what slots (PCI, AGP, PCI x1, PCI x16 etc) are available on your mobo as to what kind of video card you can install.
PCI x16 is preferred; PCI x1 next; then AGP, last PCI
After finding what slots you have so shopping for a card that fits your wallet (I use newegg.com)
THEN make sure your power supply can handle it ... nothing worse that installing a new video card and have your computer not work because of a weak-a$$ power supply.|||You first need to find out if you have an available PCI-Express slot. If you do, then pick up one of these http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductLis…

Having problems with ATI Radeon drivers?
I have a laptop with an ATI Radeon video card in it. I believe that it is a 7500. In order to restore my computer I had to clear my hard drive and now I do not have the drivers for my video card which makes surfing the web and having the page refresh when I am just trying to scroll anoying. I went to ATI's site and downloaded everything I could but nothing seems to work. Thanks|||not knowing what version of windows (?) you are using and the brand / model of your computer makes it impossible to answer your question (properly).

If i have a intel 82945g express chipset family video card, can i replace it with a ati radeon video card?
if you have a portable computer, you have to stick with the Video chip set which comes with your portable.
if you have a desktop computer with a VGA (or PCI-Express) port available, yes, buying an ATI Radeon card is a good idea;
first unistall the current driver:
right click on My Computer,
click Properties,
click on Hardware and click on the Device Manager button. click on the [+] next to Display adapter;
right click on the line that appears underneath Display adapter and
click on Properties
click on Driver and click on the Uninstall button and click Yes or OK as needed.
when the PC is restarting you have to go into the BIOS of your computer (watch the bottom of the screen when it first displays something and look for an instruction like «hit XXX to access your BIOS»
XXX can be DEL or F2 or something like this.
once in the BIOS, you need to go to advanced features and look for something like Default VGA; choice will be Internal or External (2nd might be VGA port).
choose the 2nd one (External / VGA port aso.)
save the change (and restart your PC) by pressing the F10 key;
when the PC is displaying the 1st screen again hit the key to access the BIOS, again. once the BIOS screen is displayed, power off the PC (hold the power button for 4 seconds).
install the video card in the computer
Windows will now detect your (new) ATI card and offer to install a driver for it; if you don't plan to play games or do advanced graphics, you can let Windows install its own driver.
if you need 3D / OpenGL support, go to http://ati.amd.com/support/driver.html (ATI's driver download page) to get the latest driver; i would advice to download ONLY the Driver (*NOT* the Catalyst suite, it will only bug down your PC). once it is downloaded, start the installation program and follow its instructions.|||If it's an on-board video chip, then you can't replace it. But you can put in a radeon graphics card, and use that instead. There's nothing wrong with having two video cards in a computer. Most computers can handle it without any problem.

Which ATI radeon video driver to download?
Hi,
I have a Dell laptop with Windows Xp and want to download an ATI Radeon video card driver because I'd like to update from the older version that was on my computer (before I uninstalled it).
However, ATI's website has several varieties of this driver, with different letters & numbers (eg. HD3870, X1600, 7200, etc.) and I noticed there is a Mobility Radeon variety as well.
So my question is which video driver do I install? Can I download any driver, or will only one type work on my laptop?
I don't know what the product number was of the video driver that I had removed either.
Thankyou,|||whts ur dell laptop model no ???? go to dell site n search for display driver for ur laptop model no
like "display driver dell inspirion ####"|||try the mobility on atis website or go to dells website and download it

Ati radeon video card?
i need an ati radeon 4870HD, is it the best product for computer playing? can you help me for choose the best video card? i think ati radeon 4870hd 512mb is the best video card over 200 euros or 199$, is it real or a nvidia video card is better?|||Well Ati vs Nvidia, it's like a religious war, a choice, a preference. Personally, I've had bad experiences with ATi, however amazing ones with Nvidia. Currently I own the EVGA Geforce GTX260 Superclocked+ Edition, its got 896 mb ram GDDR3, 448bit interface, runs crysis on maximum no aa 1680*1050 resolution, around 30 to 35 fps, sometimes a little lower. (also using 4 gb 800 mhz ram Crucial, and the Intel quad core Q6600 2.4 OC to 3.2)
However, I've been told the new GTX295 from Nvidia is apparently quite the success, wouldn't mind owning one myself. My friend recently bought a newer ATi, in fact i think it was the 4850 im not too good with ATi anymore, but nonetheless, it was a recent card, and it kept crashing on him.. ATi refused to acknowledge the issue was their Video Card Bios, and once my friend found a 3rd party bios so to speak, he installed into the card, and bam, no more crashes, runs better than before. That being said, I would still prefer Nvidia. but again, personal choices. I've been running the GTX260 for approx 3 months, and haven't had any issues with it. I would highly recommend the new nvidia GTX200 series Cores as a choice for your computer. also, i might add the GTX295, is a dual core card. A lot of people I talked to thought it was the better version of the GTX280, but, infact im certain its just 2 GTX260's slapped together, its got 448 bit interface, meanwhile the gtx280 has 512. Anywho, hope i was of help in choosing a good card, I know from experience it can be quite the task to choose an appropriate card for one's system. With so many options like ram, GPU speed, effective mhz, etc... how can one choose a card in plain sight right? Good Luck in your Search.|||For the price your looking at it is a great card. It competes with the GTX 260, 216 cores which is 30 bucks more. I preffer NVIDA, but that card is a great one!!!

New ATI Radeon video card not working with Dell Optiplex GX270?
I recently bought a PCI video card (ATI RADEON 128mb) so that I can use 2 monitors with my Dell Optiplex GX270. The problem is I get no video. Black screen only. I have tried disabling the on board video, changing the settings in bios. Nothing works. Tried Dell's support site, but nothing works. Anyone with a similar problem have any ideas? Thanks.|||Go to ATI's website and download the drivers for the video card
graphics cards are not meant to be plug and play devices|||Go to Dell and find a BIOS update. I had a similar problem with a Gateway Essential 433 no AGP slot wanted to play some games. I bought a Geforce 4 MX420 PCI card it would not work, updated the BIOS to latest version it worked.
You will have to download the bios update on a floppy or a USB Memory stick.

Is a ATI Radeon video card compadible with dell a pc?
is a ATI Radeon video card compadible with dell a pc|||Sure. I don't see why it wouldn't be. An AGP is an AGP. A PCI express is a PCI express. Those are standards that are independent of computer manufacturer.
However, your computer will usually only support one or the other, so you need to make sure which type(AGP or PCIE) your otherboard takes, and buy the card accordingly.|||There is not enought information given here to give you a proper answer. We need to know what kind of dell pc your are talking about. You have not given enough specifics here. Sorry|||It is not the brand but the the speed and connectivity of the card.PCI AGP 4x 8x?Time to look up you motherboard.

Why ati radeon video cards doesn't have a Shader ?
and tell me it is ASUS ATI Radeon HD 4670 1GB GDDR3 better than NVIDIA GeForce 9600GT 512MB GDDR3 ?|||Yes ATI cards don't have a shader clock, But this doesn't make nvidia cards better, ATI Manages shaders in a different way. The two cards you have are around the same performance, However the ATI card is slightly better as it has increased memory (1GB) You wont really notice the difference though, unless your running a program that uses a lot of video memory.|||ATI cards don't have a shader clock because they have Stream Processors while Nvidia cards don't. It makes it so that it's a little bit harder to compare them but I believe that the ATI card is better, but if you want to game they both won't be able to do much, but if you just want to browse either will work fine!

Can I replace my current video card (ATI Radeon) with a (PCI GeForce 6200)?
I would like to play MineCraft on my computer, but I have an ATI Radeon video card...
I'm going to buy a new one but I want to know if this new video card will work with my old computer.
(I'm buying it through kijiji.ca)
The new video card is a PCI GeForce 6200.
My current video card is: ATI Radeon X300SE 256M HYPER MEMORY PCI-E TVO/DVI
My CPU (If it matters): Intel 1GB NH8280
Motherboard (If it matters): Desktop board D945GTP D945PLM Canada ICES-003 Class-B
All of this information on video card/CPU/Motherboard are based off of what I read and what looked important when I opened my computer.
PLEASE NOTE: I am new in building computers, and extracting information from them so if you don't understand or I left information out, I know, trust me I know, please DON'T Tell me!
Question summed up: Can I replace my current video card (ATI Radeon X300SE 256M HYPER MEMORY PCI-E TVO/DVI) with the one I am going to buy (PCI GeForce 6200)?
Thanks alot, Erwin.|||Hi Zen!
Yes you can but the New Graphic Card! Hooray!
Your computer can Support it.
Thanks and Take care!|||No PCI and PCIe are different.
Your system is weak as hell and if I were you, I'd get rid of it cause that **** is ancient.
The cards you chose are dinosaur **** and your entire system is beyond caveman ****.
But I'd suggest building a real Pc and get rid of that ancient pos. :)|||if your current gpu is Pci-e then you are going to be downgrading to pci if your new card is pci-e like your old one then yes you can use it i dont know it may not work but if you have pci slot in your mobo then it will|||Whoa, several things here.
First off, PCI and PCIe are NOT the same thing. NEVER use a PCI video card if it can be helped. PCI is old, hideously slow, and worthless for any remotely high-bandwidth hardware, which means video cards.
Second, you're replacing one turd with another. The 6200 is a horridly old, slow, and outdated piece of crap. It's borderline worthless. You have a PCIe slot and thus have your pick of a multitude of modern cards. Don't settle for ancient garbage.
Third, you haven't specified a budget. Give us the money you're willing to spend and we can provide suggestions. You should also pop the side off of your computer and take a look at the power supply. Tell us the total wattage it can pump, because that's going to directly tie in to which video cards you can use without replacing the power supply as well.
For $40, the best you'll do is a Radeon 5450. It's better than what you have, but still pretty crappy. At least try to squeeze that up to $50 for a Radeon 6450. And yes, a new one will work. Why wouldn't it? It's all PCIe.
Shop on Newegg.com. If you were going to spend $40 on a PCI 6200 then you were getting ripped off. Newegg is an excellent site with great prices.|||I'm not going to look up the specs but there are a couple of things to consider...
1) Is the slot compatible with your new card.?
2) Is your power supply sufficient to power the new card?
Your old card is a PCI Express card. PCI-E slots are not backwards compatible with PCI. However, I am betting that your motherboard may have a spare PCI slot. You should be able to confirm if you have a spare slot.
Higher end graphics cards require higher wattage power supplies. Make sure that your old power supply is up to the task. Look up the specs on the new card and compare it with the wattage of your old power supply.
My advice? Make sure you can return your card just in case.

Help me understand the ATI RADEON video cards please.?
i have an ATI RADEON XPRESS 1150 GRAPHICS, and i just bought the pc game HITMAN BLOOD MONEY it works but when i play it, it is slow, it almost freezes and it only works when I am looking down, because when I look up the game freezes...
the recommended system to play HITMAN is ATI RADEON X800 or higer what should i do?|||the X1150 is not 350 above the X800
the X1150 is about 600 underneath.
the reason being that the X in X-800 and the X1 in X1-150 are referring to the generation of the card; the rest of the number of the card is the actual "performance indicator" for the card.
obviously, 800 is above 150.
thus, alas, your X1-150 is far from good enough, to play whatever game; a X1-800 or X1-850 is more like it;
you may also try to get a 2nd hand X-800; still an outstanding card which will allow you to play any game today on XP.
if you want to be able to play games under Vista in a year or two, you should get yourself a X2-900, because only the X2 serie from ATI is fully Vista compliant.
good luck!|||The graphics card is probably the most important part in gaming.I am almost sure that the game runs slow because of your graphic card.I suggest to upgrade to a radeon x1650pro or x1950pro.Also you ram is very important for gaming.1 gb is ok to run normal games but i recommend 2gb for better performance.Good Luck.|||Other than the video card, how well does your system meet the minimum requirements. For example, how much RAM do you have? What is the speed of your processor? Are you having problems with other applications?

Would having an ATI radeon video card effect my PC or do anything if I have a built in Nvida chipset?
Alright so right now I have an Nvidia build in video card in my motherboard ,and I am running an ATI radeon card, I'm going to upgrade thursday. Would it be better to get a Nvidia card , or would it make no difference at all?|||It won't make a difference|||Nope you are good to go. You may have to change the video source in the bios but that's about it.
