Thread: Recommend a Graphics Card


i run machine hardware wise should speed demon (ssd, 2.8ghz hexacore, 16gb ram) broadband should plenty fast (50-60mbs). 1 piece out of place video card -- 5 years old nvidia 8500 gt.

since don't play games in theory video card should plenty (encode video, photo editing, virtual machines, write software, serve media). in practice, gedit grays out on me! , card stutters on minimizing , maximizing apps.

want upgrade card, find video card world crazy compared 5 years ago! plain , simple can recommend video card $50-$100, passive cooling (or silent), runs unity3d well?

seems in range nvidia fermi , radeon 54xx chips between 0.5-3gb ram.

many threads fixing issues, appreciate recommendation!


hi:

depends on running , if need/want dedicated card can handle lot more demands in department of hd graphics.

nividia has designed g-force card well; of need or want. nividia's wesite:

have radeon/amd 3100 , works great. of course radeon has increased cards computer 3 years old.
website might make decision.

in of newer laptops there amd radeon hd 7550m dedicated 1gb , 2gb cards. these 2nd , 3rd generation developments there few options can expensive.

luck you; hope helped

hello! i'm trying setup software raid on server, fail @ first step: code: root@sandnabba:/root# mdadm -c /dev/md0 -c512 -l5 /dev/sdc1 /dev/sdd1 /dev/sde1 mdadm: no raid-devices specified. what doing wrong!? are sure -c equivalent --create? also, think need space after -c , -l options, value shouldn't command, or should have = between. @ man pages mdadm , double check spelling.
