I have a Gecube R9550U-C3H. When I read in the magazines or computer tabloids, the core and memory clock of the Radeon 9550 was 400. But my 9550 core clocked at 419MHz and the memory clock is just 196MHz. Is something wrong at my VGA? Please explain. Answer: Your core (400 Mhz) is generally the standard clock from ATI. VGA manufacturers sometimes deliberately raise or lower clock with performance and stability reasons. And it seems the clock is still OK. Moreover, its core clock is above standard, right? For the memory clock, the VGA could also be on display as the original clock, not DDR. So 196MHz x 2 = 392 MHz. Dont misunderstand. This is still normal. Then why is 196MHz not 200MHz? In the end it depends on the quality of the memory chip on your VGA card. If the one you got is at 196MHz, others can get a 203MHz, 210MHz or alias the memory clock is at 420MHz DDR. If you want to return to a safe position, use programs like ATITool or ATITrayTool. Download them at www.guru3d.c

Does AGP video card with DDR2 or DDR3 can be used by a computer with main memory is still using regular DDR type? What is the difference between DDR video card with DDR2 and DDR3? Answer: As long as the available VGA slot on the motherboard is AGP, not a problem. VGA memory with RAM on the motherboard are not directly related to each other and do not affect performance. Similarly, each with speed. Unconnected. It could be memory DDR2 or DDR3 VGA work on the clock 1000MHz, although the main memory on the motherboard only the DDR ordinary working on 400MHz clock. Differences between DDR memory VGA with DDR2 and DDR3 is the technology. DDR2 and DDR3 is better, the new technology. Advantage is its ability to work at a faster frequency, but also and more efficient in power consumption. Also the heat generated also lower compared with DDR memory, especially when working in the same frequency. Well, the performance of video memory is better this could certainly affect the overall perfo

I want to buy a VGA, and my choice fell to the VGA which already supports DirectX 10. The problem is, my budget is limited. Is there is any DirectX 10 based VGA which is very affordable? Answer: Yes, but certainly not from the mainstream classes let alone the high end. Options that can be purchased is a VGA using ATI Radeon 2400Pro, 2400XT or 2600Pro. If you happened to find, there are several brands based VGA Radeon 2600XT that cost low enough. For the Nvidia GeForce series, the options available are based VGA GeForce 8400GS or 8500GT. VGA GeForce 8600GT is quite cheap, but still pretty high than the previous two.
