I have a:
Intel D945GCR motherboard
Intel Core 2 Duo processor (2.20Ghz)
2GB Ram
nvdia Geforce 8600GT
Is the EVGA nVidia geforce gt440 1GB the best card for my system and what is the difference if its EVGA or ZOTAC or whatever?|||yes it a good card but not the best save a little more and then go for zotac or evga gts 450 it even overtakes hd 5770 in most of the test and games :D

1GB GeForce GT240 or GT440?
which one would be better for gaming (gta iv) on my computer at the moment?
Computer specs:
Intel Core 2 Quad @2.50 GHz
4GB RAM
x64
the graphics card in it at the moment is a nVidia Ge Force 7100/ n Force 630i :)
Just wondering which one would be better to replace with :)
thanks in advance :)|||hi callum
go with the GT440 .... as mentioned both of these are not designed for gaming however even entry level cards have got enough power these days to cope with most games at reduced detail
however with the retail price of the GT440 at around £65 you would be better off with the "XFX ATI Radeon HD 5770 1024MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card"( http://www.aria.co.uk/Products/Component… )
in terms of performance the HD5770 wipes the floor with both the gt240 and gt440... and its equivelent in performance to the GTX260....
however the HD5770 requires a 450w or better power supply (with 26A or more on the +12v rails ) .... so make sure your power supply is up to scratch...but if you do need to buy a more powerful psu then i recommend the "500W Coolermaster Elite Power ATX2.3 Power Supply "( http://www.aria.co.uk/Products/Component… ) .... this has more than enough power to run the HD5770 and has the 6pin pci-express connectors required by the card
i know this isnt the card you wanted... however i dont like to see people short changed when buying a new graphics card... i mean why buy the inferior gt440 when you can buy a card twice as powerful for the same price
infact for around £80 you can buy the "MSI GTS 450 1GB 1024MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card"( http://www.aria.co.uk/Products/Component… ) ... this is much better than the gt440 and will run the latest games with ease...... and all these cards will work well with your intel quad core cpu and 4gb of ram.....
finally if the two cards i recommended are over your budget then i would recomemend the "Sapphire ATI Radeon HD 5670 512MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card"( http://www.aria.co.uk/Products/Component… ) ... for just £55 this is a suprisingly fast card... with a 775mhz core clock and 512mb of gddr5 memory running at 4000mhz ddr effective this will run the latest games at medium detail without any problems.. and the arctic cooling gpu cooler keeps your gpu tempertures nice and cool,even when gaming
i hope this has helped callum.... any questions let me know
good luck mate !|||If you only want to play older games like GTA IV, then go for the GT440. But if you think you'll want to play newer titles don't waste your money on either, it'll be £65 down the drain. Save up some more cash and buy something in the £150 region.
GTA IV has some fairly low recommended requirements, but anything reasonably modern will refuse to run well, or even at all on that video card.
As for brianthesnail123's comment that these cards will run most games at reduced detail, 2 things:
1. Who wants to do that? You don't buy an upgrade to play things badly.
2. No they won't. An nvidia GTS450 won't run COD4 at minimum settings, so what chance do these cards have on anything much newer than GTA IV (2008). Nil is the answer.|||Gt 440 mucho gracias.

They both suck for gaming|||Any would be better then what you have now. I would go with the 440.

Guys kindly tell me which is better and why .(evga gt440 1gb).or (inno 3d gt440 2gb)?
Are you going to be using 3D? probably not considering it's a 440. Are you going to be running multiple monitors in high resolutions and will need more memory? Again, probably not because it's a 440.
Get the 1GB version if it's significantly cheaper. If they're pretty much the same price you might aswell get the 2gb 3d one even though you'll never need the extra 1gb or 3d.
Edit: They are pretty much the same card but one is for high resolution multiple 3d monitor displays.|||well ok! I've changed ma mind. i will buy either gtx 560(1 gb) or hd 6950.so plz tell me which should i buy???
|||You need to provide a bit more detail. Chances are the EVGA card is better.
This is because:
1) EVGA is a higher-quality brand, the best manufacturer of Nvidia cards followed by MSI and XFX. Inno3D is middle-of the road, solid but not considered a "best" brand.
2) The amount of onboard RAM (1gb vs 2gb) has no direct impact upon gaming performance. Having a 2gb card helps if you're running at extremely high resolutions like 2560x1600 or running multiple monitors- it helps keep your frame rates from dropping. But 2gb of video RAM does NOT make a card faster. Besides, the GT 440 isn't powerful enough to game at such high resolutions!
For gaming at full HD resolution (1920x1080) you need at least a Radeon HD 5770 or GeForce GTX 550 Ti. So putting 2gb of RAM on any card models below those is just a marketing gimmick. It simply gives the card makers an excuse to raise the price.
Check the detailed specs of both cards, in particular the core & clock speed ratings. If one of them is clocked faster (for example 830Mhz instead of 810Mhz) then it will perform slightly better. But the extra onboard RAM by itself has no impact, except under conditions the GT440 isn't fast enough to handle anyway.

Which use less power gt440 or hd 5670?
I have 250w psu
plz help|||they both consume almost same amount of power and neither are going to run on that 250 watts of power supply.the best card you can install with that power supply is HD 5570 for Rs.3500 or HD 6570 for Rs.3900.if you can find HD 6570 then it will be better choice.if you want to run HD 5670 then you need a power supply upgrade.
here is power consumption chart.note that GT 240 is same as GT 440.
http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/AMD/H…|||The maximum Graphics card power for the gt440 is 56watts
and the maximum board power for the hd 5670 is 64 Watts|||Well 5670 is faster then GT 440 by 2x.
I would say a GTX 460 if you want a nvidia card..
GT 440 uses very less power than HD 5670.
and Atleast upgrade to 450 W|||your psu is not at all enough, first upgrade it to 450w psu to be on safer side
gt440 uses less power but 5670 is the better card than gt440 in terms of performance|||Power usage stated is probably correct, but neither one of those card will run properly with just a 250W power supply, it will not have enough current on the +12V bus in all probability....

Is Asus HD 5450 1gb ddr3 grafic card better than Asus nvidia gt440 1gb ddr5?
Plz don't suggest other cards. explain both for gaming purpose.thanx|||gt 440 is way faster, 5450 is a horrible pos, most intergrated graphics will beat it
No output signal coming from the hdmi of inno3d GT440 1gb?
my english is bad sorry. let me discuss my question
i bought inno3d gt440 1gb DDR5 graphic cards. I used my 40" samsung LCD tv for my desktop so i use the HDMI of the graphic card. before i istalled the driver of the graphic card. its working properly. but after i installed it. my lcd tv says "mode not supported". i already try to reinstall the driver over and over again.. but same result... i also reinstalled my os (win7) still after i installed the driver of the graphic card... theres no more output signal coming from the hdmi.... if i use the VGA of the graphic cards.. it works properly...
can someone help me with these.... thanks in advance!|||Ok whats the maximum resolution of your 40 samsung lcd tv. if that lcd tv is not design for full HD then it will not work on a HDMI since HDMI outputs higher than your standard vga. Let say your lcd tv is not full HD then even though that your tv has HDMI still your it will not work since HDMI on a video card outputs higher than a standard appliance.

Can i install windows 7 ultimate on this old hard disk?
Seagate st32122a . My 500gb hard disc war slowing down so i have it for replacement. Pc specs:- i3-530 processor,dh55tc chipset,3gb ddr3 ram, gt440 gpu.|||You can.... but you also need a spiffy graphics card and enough memory to hold the OS and apps. 3 gigs of memory should be enough to hold 7. You can also install it on the back up as well.|||Yes you can|||yes u can, dont worry! go for it.|||NO. It takes 16 GB of space for w-7 32bit and 20 GB for 64 bit. The st32122a has 2.11 GB of space.|||No you can't. You can install Windows 7 on an old IDE drive but not one like this that only has a capacity of 2.1GB. This drive is only just big enough for Windows 95 or 98, even XP wouldn't fit on it.
