Know the difference VGA on the PC

VGA or diagram map is equipment in a computer, which a very important presence in acceleration monitor, in 2 kinds, i.e. tidy onboard VGA or are we familiarly with " Internal" and " externen" or is specially subdivided. The difference is naturally both is obviously very differently, for onboard the VGA, usually only one chip, that it automatically on the Motherboard installed and already is on a package in the Motherboard. There for the external VGA to recognize, is rectangular the form is usually very easy and has an exhaust. Hardware, which one usually by computer users, who are constantly implemented with itself data processing within the range of the Multimedia necessarily like the video players, drawing (CAD, Corel, Photoshop etc.),

VGA External


VGA Onboard (Internal)

or in playing. Now a quantity has software, only runs only with a pre-defined standard VGA. If we create under the VGA standard that they set, then also we will not feel in the situation, mreka a great software, although we surely not in the current maximally. In order to recognize that you can see you to VGA over the computer, if you use Windows XP in particular through: With the right mouse button on properties; SELECT DEVICE manager On the right column you select the equipment manager display adapter. It will usually look mark and type you VGA. If you want to know, which kind of VGA, which you use whether on board or externally only also, how you is to be dismantled your computer and it sees it the following picture, around it apart: That is the difference between the Onboard VGA and the outside physical, external VGA has two kinds, i.e.: AGP and PCI express, for Method distinction between VGA AGP and PCI express

Nvidia GeForce GTX 460 Review

GeForce GTX 480 series graphics cards are the fastest. However, behind the performance is super fast, GeForce GTX 480 is also a variant that has the most expensive prices and the most wasteful power consumption. Similarly, a direct derivative, the GTX 470. Have lower performance, power consumption remains high and the price is quite expensive. After launching the third series, Nvidia launched its next products. Still using the base Fermi chips, Nvidia decided to launch a new chip for its new chip variants GF104. GF104 chip will be used on a range of Nvidia graphics card market for the middle class. The first variant GF104 chip-based graphics cards launched by Nvidia is GeForce GTX 460. This variant has a similar architecture with other Fermi series graphics card, but with a more friendly specifications. In addition, the price offered is far more affordable. GeForce GTX 460 is the fourth variant, which was launched for the line Nvidia graphics cards based on the Fermi after the GTX 480, GTX 470 and GTX 465. However, although both use the Fermi base, it turns out the GeForce GTX 460 does not come from the same chip from the third series of its predecessor. Coincided with the launch of the GeForce GTX 460 is, as well as Nvidia also introduced a new graphics chip called the GF104. GF104 is still a descendant of GF100 graphics chip that has been used previously. Then, what is the difference between the chip GF100 and GF104? In general, GF100 has basic specs are superior to GF104. Just look at the specifications which are owned by the GeForce GTX 480, which has a pipeline of 480 pieces with a memory interface that is very roomy, 384-bit. While on the GF104, which has a maximum memory interface 256-bit with the number of pipelines as much as 336 pieces. Specification that is used by the GeForce GTX 460. For more details specs, Nvidia GeForce GTX 460 has a top speed of 675 MHz accelerator, the speed of 1350 MHz shader, and memory speed of 3600 MHz GDDR5-based. With specs like that, GeForce GTX 460 is included in the ranks of mainstream-class graphics card. In addition, the GeForce GTX 460 has two versions. Both versions of GeForce GTX 460 has the same specs, good speed accelerator, shader, and memory. Similarly, the number of shaders it. The difference is the amount of memory it has, and it has a memory interface. If the above we have already mentioned the GeForce GTX 460 has 256-bit memory interface, such variants have a capacity of 1 GB of local memory. Another variant uses a smaller memory interface, which is 192-bit local memory with a capacity of 768 MB. So, can already imagine the difference in the performance he had. In the discussion this time, we use a variant of the GeForce GTX 460 with a capacity of 768 MB.
Turning to design, reference designs Nvidia GeForce GTX 460 has an appearance that is more compact than its predecessor the third series. GeForce GTX 460 has a look similar to other Nvidia graphics cards that had slid earlier as the GTS 250. Physical size is not too large, quite normal for mainstream classes. In fact, in our opinion, the size of the GeForce GTX 460 is even shorter when compared to other mainstream graphics cards like the Radeon HD5770. Standard cooler which is owned by the GeForce GTX 460 is quite large in size in length as the graphics card. Its size is quite thick so if you want to use it, you have to give up two slots in the back of your casing. All three graphics cards Fermi who first appeared to have a relatively high power consumption, even very high. How did this with the GeForce GTX 460? When viewed from the specifications, the GeForce GTX 460 has a lower speed. Because of this, this graphics card requires less power when compared to other Fermi third graphics card. On paper, the GeForce GTX 460 graphics card will consume around 150-160 Watts of power supplied through the two ports PCI-Express 6-pin is placed at the end. How is the performance of this graphics card? And how well the position of this graphics card when compared to competitors, who are both in mainstream classes? We had the opportunity to test the graphics card and compare it with other Fermi series and competitors alike are in mainstream classes. Judging from their performance, Nvidia GeForce GTX 460 graphics card is the latest to be reckoned with. Kinerjanya is not the fastest, but to play heavy games at high resolution, it seems the graphics card is capable enough to run it. To remind, we conduct this test using a GeForce GTX 460 768 MB version with a width of 192-bit data path. For version 1 GB 256-bit will certainly result in higher performance again....

ATI vs NVidia Who is the best

When the processor market is dominated by two giant that is Intel & AMD, then the VGA market is also dominated by two major players, ATI & NVidia. Incidentally ATI some time ago has been acquired by AMD. In general, the performance of artificial VGA ATI and NVidia fairly balanced in the same class. The price was relatively comparable. EACH Each has advantages and disadvantages.
As of today, ATI is still superior in the aspects of Image Quality (IQ or picture quality) is superior in performance NVidia 3D frame rates (frames per second speed of appearance).
Again, please caution interpreting this statement. Not that ATI's 3D performance was bad or vice versa NVidia bad IQ. to play 3D games, the ATI can be used well, too.
Similarly NVidia still looks fit enough to watch DVD High Definition.Dan from time to time, each manufacturer will attempt to overcome the shortcomings so that someday soon, we could see both balanced within all aspects. Until that happens, it's good if the computer is widely used to design graphics or watch a movie, a VGA card ATI is a better choice, but if the computer is widely used for playing 3D games, let alone the latest output, VGA NVidia who could be more fitting choice.

Points between the Onboard VGA and VGA Add-on

Here are a few points advantage over VGA Onboard VGA add-on:
* Onboard VGA is integrated with the motherboard so it certainly will not happen problem of incompatibility between the motherboard and VGA. Although this discrepancy cases very rare, but sometimes also occur in several types and brands of motherboards with VGA particular type and brand.

* Prices motherboard with VGA OB almost the same, or to some type / brand, even cheaper than a motherboard with VGA. So we got a VGA virtually "free." This who could become economical solution for limited budget.

But that does not mean VGA OB does not have a deficiency when compared with the add-on VGA.

Here are a few:
* VGA OB does not have its own memory (but now several manufacturers of motherboards have some add their own memory or special memory for VGA sideport OB). He must share (share) with memory (RAM) installed on the motherboard. As a result the capacity of RAM will be reduced. On systems with limited RAM, this is not it affect the performance of computer as a whole.

* Onboard VGA performance is relatively low compared lbh add-on VGA. Please caution interpreting this statement. Onboard VGA performance was not bad, but the ability of course somewhat limited, particularly for applications requiring reply ² VGA performance on high, for example, play the game 3D's latest. But compared with add-on VGA lower class, so to speak VGA OB today is still able to keep even suppras.

* Motherboard with VGA OB more usually small in size compared to a few centimeters motherboard with VGA. Yg lbh small size is usually called microATX (mATX). This intended to cut the cost of manufacture (since the motherboard with VGA OB intended for low-budget class). Consequently, the number of expansion slots (slots for component ² such additional internal modem, internal TV tuner, etc.) are also less than the motherboard lbh without the VGA. But there are also some brand motherboard with VGA OB who has the size of "normal" (ATX), although very rare.
