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....

Sapphire Radeon HD 6770

For computer users and manufacturers of VGA cards, mainstream classes is one of the interesting class of VGA card. Why? For computer users, in this class they can get a powerful VGA card at an affordable price. As for the manufacturer, this is where one of the biggest contributors to their revenue. It is therefore not strange that the VGA card manufacturers put a lot of variants in the class mainstream.setelah was stopped at AMD HD 6850, some time ago AMD back on flooding the mainstream HD 6000 series VGA card with multiple types of variants and one of them is the series HD 6700. The first variant of which inhabit the AMD HD 6700 series is AMD's HD 6790 which was followed by the AMD HD 6770 and HD 6750 AMD. In this article the discussion will be more focused on technical 6770.Secara HD AMD, the AMD HD 6770 VGA card is not new because it uses the exact same hardware with AMD HD 5770. In stark contrast to AMD's HD 6790 which uses a derivative of AMD's hardware HD 6800 series. Differences AMD HD 6770 and HD 5770 lies only in name and some additional features such as the one on the other HD 6000 series. One interesting thing is the AMD HD 6770 is sold at the lowest price range of around U.S. $ 110. This price is approximately equal to the price of AMD's HD 5770 at this time and is a competitor NVIDIA GTX 550 Ti.Di this article we will discuss the AMD HD 6770 from Sapphire manufacturer. Products named Sapphire HD 6770 Vapor-X Overclocking (OC) Edition comes with a clock and non-reference HSF with an attractive sales package.

VGA ATI RADEON ATI Radeon 5870 ,5850, ATI Radeon 5770, 5750, ATI Radeon 5970 Review


AMD ATI in the last 3 months has released the newest line of VGA ATI Radeon 5xxx series. At the end of September for the first time ATI issued a series 5xxx range of ATI Radeon 5870 and 5850, ATI Radeon 5770 and 5750 on the release of the last mid-October 2009 and ATI Radeon 5970 mid-November or 1st of the month following the launch of the 5770 and 5750.Chip on the ATI Radeon 5xxx codenamed Cypress, is the development of the RV790 chip used by ATI's Radeon 4890. Many were developed in the cypress as the number of transistors, Stream processors, texture units and ROP all be 2-fold more than RV790 chips (Radeon 4890). And of course there are also new technologies applied to the Cypress chip (Radeon 5xxx) Eyefinity for example, less idle power compared to the previous ATI Radeon series, 40nm manufacturing process, and the first VGA chip that supports DirectX 11. Actually what the new technology of the latest video card from ATI is this?, Ane try to explain little yak. 1. Eyefinity If we have a 17 "monitor usually we will set your monitor resolution at 1024 x 768 or 1280x1024 and if you're lucky to have the monitor 24" wide you can set the monitor up to a maximum resolution of 2560 x 1600 if you set it on the desktop windows or setting of your games play. But just imagine if you can set your monitor resolution at 3600 x 1920 or even up to 7680 x 3200. Now you do not have to imagine it because you can do Eyefinity technology. 3 Monitor Resolution 3600 x 1920 Yup Eyefinity technology on the ATI Radeon 5xxx lets you combine 3 monitors or even 6 monitors at once so that it can play your favorite games at maximum resolution up to 7680 x 3200 only on a VGA card. But for now ATI Radeon 5xxx edition, one VGA card can only combine 3 monitors instead of 6 monitors unless you intend to buy a VGA card again for the Crossfire (dual graphics cards) or can also buy additional DisplayPort output DVI / HDMI with prices reaching 100 U.S. dollar and the possibility of DisplayPort is not yet available in Indonesia. 6 Monitor Resolution 7680 x 3200 But do not worry in the near future AMD ATI will release a special ATI Radeon 5xxx series that can incorporate six monitors at once just with a VGA card. 2. Evergreen VGA card requires greater electrical power when playing games but if you use the computer only for typing only electrical power used was smaller. Technology evergreen that is how the VGA card can reduce electric power consumption during idle VGA card (not used). Actually this is not a new technology because it has long been both a VGA card ATI or NVIDIA has implemented this technology, only the ATI Radeon series 5xxx efficiency of electric power consumption at idle even greater. For example comparison of VGA cards HD 4870 with 5870, to 4870 when the heavy work requiring a maximum of 160 watts at idle and down 60 Watt ATI Radeon 5870 while at work requires a maximum weight of 190 Watt and down to 27 Watts at idle, the decline in electric power drastic. 3. Directx 11 One new development from ATI Radeon 5xxx series is DirectX 11. As we already know DirectX is a driver or API (Application Programming Interfaces) that bridges between the windows and hardware, multimedia hardware such as joysticks, sound card, mouse, and of course the VGA card. Along with the development of the VGA card from year to year is also experiencing growth as DirectX DirectX 8, DirectX 9, DirectX 10, and last DirectX 11.The role of DirectX to the games is the picture quality game itself, the latest version of DirectX directx 11 would have the best image quality. Try clay ratio of DirectX 10 games with DirectX 11 on STALKER: Call of Pripyat To image a visible difference in DirectX 10 and DirectX 11 is on the lighting but not too different from the background in Figure 2 below. Each game will always differ on the quality of the image depends on how developers are optimizing directx 11 games. In my opinion the picture quality with directx 10 directx 11 does not change significantly. Games with a dazzling picture quality is not necessarily the absolute use of DirectX 11 as an example game Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, the picture quality is stunning even though this game only uses DirectX 9 and can be juxtaposed with the games already on directx directx 10 and even 11. And do not forget the games that already support directx 11 even though you have settingannya mentokin all the picture quality is not necessarily possible directx 11 directx 9 only the picture quality. This can happen due to software and hardware used, there are three factors that affect a game that runs on directx 11 mode, namely:

- Operating System: Must use Windows 7 or Windows Vista already installed DirectX 11 while
windows xp can not.
- VGA Card: At the time of writing this review only the ATI Radeon new 5xxx series supports directx 11, possibly in
the near future NVIDIA will release their latest VGA card supports DirectX 11
- Games itself: Because directx 11 is a new technology only a few games that support directx 11
eg DiRT 2 and STALKER: Call of Pripyat, but certainly within a few months later games
which already supports DirectX 11 berbanjiran.

All three factors must be qualified if one factor alone is not met then, of course, games do not run in directx 11 mode.

ATI Radeon HD 4670 Graphics Card Review

The graphics card market seems to be pretty full from top to bottom these days, but that doesn't keep the big players in the video card industry from bringing out newer models! Today, AMD is announcing the Radeon HD 4600 series, which will be made up of the ATI Radeon HD 4670 and ATI Radeon HD 4650 graphics cards. Both of these new cards feature AMD’s TeraScale graphics engine, with 320 stream processing cores, and are based on AMD’s second generation 55nm process. The best part of both of these two new cards is the fact that they can each be purchased for under $80, which is something the mainstream market will be happy about.

ATI Radeon HD 4670 and 4650 Features

The ATI Radeon HD 4670 that we will be taking a closer look at in this article is immediately available with a frame buffer of 512MB GDDR3 memory and an MSRP from USD $79. Later this month AMD will have an ATI Radeon HD 4670 available with 1GB of GDDR3, but they have not confirmed pricing on that version of the Radeon HD 4670. This card would logically cost more, but those wanting a little more memory should be willing to pay more in order to get it, so no big shocker here. The ATI Radeon HD 4650 features a frame buffer of 512MB GDDR2 memory and is coming out later in the month at an MSRP from USD $69. Both of these graphics cards are single slot solutions and require no additional power supply connectors, which make them an easy upgrade option for mainstream consumers.

ATI Radeon HD 4670 Graphics Card

With the Radeon HD 4670 sitting next to the GeForce 9500 GT it is clear that these two cards are now rivals as they look like cousins. Both cards are single slot solutions that have no need for extra power and are priced under $80. Let's take a closer look at what the Radeon HD 4670 has going on under the hood.

Tips on choosing the add-on VGA yg appropriate

The first factor to consider is the type who should be the same slots with the slots that are onmotherboard. There are two types of slots for VGA, AGP and PCI-Express (PCI-E). This type of AGP slot has very rare in the latest motherboards. This species is widely used by motherboard-me bit "old". Today, most motherboards use a slot PCI-E. Another factor is the characteristics or specifications of its VGA. 3 things which need to note of the VGA specification is memory capacity, memory type and width of the track communication (buswidth). For example there is a VGA with 256 MB DDR3 specification of 128 bits. 256 MB means the amount of VGA memory, this effect is more capable in the high resolution LCD supported by the VGA's. If you want to use a large size monitor (which of course the resolution is too high) then the capacity of its VGA memory must also be greater. DDR3 is who refers to the type of memory access speed. DDR3 certainly relatively faster access when compared to DDR2. 128 bits is the width of its tracks, the wide track, the mo also the data which can be passed in one time. Supposing the same gate toll road, the more many gates the more auto reply can be passed, the shorter the line, the more sooner arrived at his destination. Of course, should not be overlooked is its own type of GPU. Just like processors, GPU
also has a speed (core clock) that is measured in MHz. In fact, exactly like processors, even now there memilili GPUs more than 1 core. We will not discuss too technical about this GPU. Essentially newer generation GPU perfromanya also more who better than the old generation (origin memory comparable specifications). Other factors who also must be considered is the output port. Some are still D-Sub (reply port commonly used in CRT monitors), some DVI (usually untukuk several types of LCD monitors) and even some HDMI (High Definition LCD monitors). Often there is an S-Video port, which is shaped port for round connected with a TV set who functioned as a monitor. In some VGA type, or even the already supports more than one monitor.

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.

Type type of expansion slot VGA viewed

The types of various kinds is due to the VGA slot on the mainboard cpu to put this device is different and evolving with the development of technology vga.VGA (Video Graphics Array / Adapter) is a tool on a computer that is used to display pictures or graphics to the monitor, VGA is also the liaison between the processor and monitor.
Type - type of VGA
There are two types of VGA, namely:
1.AGP (Accelerated Graphics Port)
AGP motherboards designed for Pentium II and above.
AGP is able to make better frame rate and display more realistic 3D graphics.

2.PCI (Peripheral Component Interconnect)
Has a PCI interface for 64 bit and 32 bit path width mengimpelentasikan for data and address bus.
PCI supports auto-configuration mechanism in which each device there are a bunch of PCI configuration registers.

VGA developments have significantly from year to year in accordance with the present developments.
