Is this video card a PCI-Express Inno3D GT 430 2GB SDDR3 DVI VGA HDMI Out PCI-E Graphics Card?

I want to buy this video card but i am not sure wether it is for a PCI-E slot or PCI-E 2.0 slot please help|||sorry but Ray is wrong, there are currently two versions of PCiE, 1.0 and 2.0. The slots are backward compatible but the cards are not, meaning that you can put a PCiE 1.0 card into a PCiE 2.0 slot and it will work, but putting a PCiE 2.0 card in a 1.0 slot is not guaranteed to work as you found out previously. The PCiE 2.0 cards have an different instruction set to run at the faster protocol speeds and although some cards will work in a version 1.0 slot not all are capable of doing so.

Of the various sites I checked that actually stated what PCiE version the card was, all said it was PCiE 2.0 (the inno3D website does not actually specify!)

You do of course realise that although it may have 2Gb of memory that this is the much slower DDR and the not the much better GDDR, if you can find a card with GDDR 4 or 5 as this is up to 10 times faster than standard DDR on your graphics cards, GDDR5 is twice as fast as GDDR3.|||well pcie-2.0 and pcie is the same thing , you can buy this without any fear . you will be able to use this card if your motherboard has pcie slot ,

It says 3PCI slots so does that mean i can use a PCI video card? Thanks||| Yes.Your computer can with the graphic with video in can.But they run in different prices.|||pci is slow...but yeah you can put up to 3 on there....go with the AGP connector for a video card.|||Yes, if you want PCI video card, not PCI-Express.

your computer cannot support PCI-Express, it uses AGP 8x graphic card.|||You could use the PCI video card if you wish. An AGP video card I believe would do better job if your into gaming. AGP(Accelerated Graphics Port) is primarily for video graphics with the PCI being a general purpose slot which can be used with a variety of cards(Example: video, sound, network etc..).|||Yes, the ATI 3850 AGP is the fastest video card solution for your computer. You don't have PCI-ExpressX16 only PCI which isn't the same. AGP is faster than PCI. Just make sure you have a power supply with 400watts and at least 30amps on its +12V rail because that is what a systen running that video card needs. Should show you what your PSU has on the sticker on the PSU. If you don't have a big enough power supply then go with one of these. :

If you buy an ATI 3850 make sure you get the AGP card and not the PCI-ExpressX16 card. It comes in both versions and you don't have a PCI-ExpressX16 slot.

Funny thing cuz I build and sell computers and I gave my daughter and her new husband a fresh built computer I was gonna sell when they moved back here 4 years ago. Has an ATI 9800Pro that was fine 4 years ago. I'm getting so sick of hearing my son-in-law whining about lagging in the new games that I'm giving them that same exact 3850 video card for Xmas along with a Corsair PSU.

Is the PNY GeForce 9500 GT 1024MB PCI-Express 2.0 VGA + DVI Graphics Card a good pc video gaming card?

can it play company of heroes with all the settings on super or the highest it can go?|||off the top of my head i would say yes!



it does depend on what your motherboard is, your RAM, and proccessor cuz just a graphics card wont make games play amazing, i take it though if u have asked this questoin u know that tho lol



hope this helped ☺|||Yes, that is if the rest of your computer specs are also decent enough.

Is this PCI->VGA card 98 compatible?

I'm working on someone's computer and it is absolutely ancient...the onboard VGA port just quit on it and it is running windows 98 and he isn't willing to upgrade to a real OS :P. I am going to get an PCI VGA card (PCI not PCI-E because they are cheaper and it is for a fishfinder etc). Is this card compatible with 98? Hardware compatibility isn't my thing.

Thanks,



-Simba|||The OS has little to do with it. If the PCI slot will accept the card it will work. Make sure you switch the bios to pci from vga if so equipped.

If i add this PCI video card can i?

if i add another PCI Geforce mx 4000 to my pc could i use 3 displays running VGA? this is what i have 1 on board Intel i810 and one PCi Geforce mx 4000. i am now running 1 17in Compaq 7600 on the Geforce mx 4000 and 1 17in KDS xtreme Flat on the on board Intel i810.i have another 17in display.so if i add another PCI video card can i use ALL 3 of them at one time and use the S-video for my TV?|||You should be able to use the two PCI cards together for sure. I'm not sure about the integrated graphics, though. I believe the i810 graphics use an internal AGP bus, so you should be ok. Also, a word of warning - many programs (Cyberlink PowerDVD, for example) have trouble handling setups that include more then two video adapters. Just a heads up on that.|||Yes, as long as the cards are the same model number, in your case MX4000's, it will work just fine. Well, as long as you just throw the CD that comes with the new card away, or at least never put it into your CD-ROM drive, then it will.

Is a MSI N9800GT-MD1G NVIDIA 1GB PCI Express Video Card VGA good for gaming?

It's ok, but it's a bit outdated now. You'd be better off with something like an NVidia Geforce GTX260 or an ATI Radeon HD4870, HD5770 or HD5850. It all depends on how much you want to spend.|||It will play pretty much everything, but at lower frame rates on graphic intensive games and on low - medium settings.

It is the low end of gaming video cards right now.

If it's a good deal for you, you could buy it and use it for the mean time until you could save up and purchase a much better one, but if you love gaming with good quality and want a decent frame rate, wait abit longer and just purchase a card like suggested above.

The ATI Radeon HD 4890 is also a good card with a benchmark score of almost 3 times the 9800 and comparable to the Nvidia 285.

No video output vga pci slot?

i have a dell that used to have a dvi slot for its output video. i no longer have that card i happen to have a vga card that goes into the pci slot. i pulled in the vga and i get no video output. is this possible to fix?|||try the vga card on another PC; A friends maybe. If it works, Check the connection or the your PCI slot. if not then its simply dead.
