Tips on choosing a good VGA card

VGA

• If you are using an LCD monitor or LED, you make sure that the VGA card that you buy can support resolutions that are owned by the monitor. This is so that the displayed images can be very realistic.

• You should make sure to what your computer uses. If its use more graphics, then it is worth choosing your VGA card has its own memory chips. This is because the programs related to the graphic can be processed by the VGA card, with no or only a few involve processors, so you can make your computer more convenient to use. The same goes for you which is the buff film editing or gaming, multimedia animations and maker of all things related to graphics. However, if you use your computer for more word processing applications such as Microsoft Word, VGA card which can only display the image on the monitor is sufficient.

• If you are specifying your needs turn out heavy graphics, that must be considered is the existence of the Graphic Processing Unit or GPU on the VGA card of your choice. This GPU in the form of a chip that has the function as the main processor on the motherboard. The existence of this GPU would reduce the main processor or CPU performance by accelerating the processing of graphic data in some of the pipeline. If the process is faster, then the display on the screen of the monitor would be perfect. The current VGA card have been many who have a dual GPU or even quad GPU to get an optimal graphical results.

• what you should notice is the GPU generates a result electricity flowing in the process data. You should pay attention to the existence of the heatsink and cooling fan. Select the best possible, most notably that have variable cooler, i.e. the rotation of the cooling fan can adjust to the temperature. I.e. when the temperature is high, the GPU fan to spin faster and so otherwise.

• Note the slot type of motherboard you have. Not all motherboards have the same slot for the VGA card. It may just be your motherboard with AGP slot type (Advanced Graphic Port) or your motherboard including new types with type slot PCIe (Peripheral Computer Interface. Each has its own speed and also a different form. So you can not mutually exchanged between them.

• and the most important thing you should consider is the capacity of the power supply you use on your computer. VGA card which requires high power high anyway. You should pay attention to how much power output at minimum power supply required by the VGA with attention to specifications or ask the seller. If your power supply can not suffice, then your computer will never be turned on.
