Non intel based graphics cards??
« on: June 10, 2011, 03:04:58 AM »
I am not  a pc expert. Is there graphics cards that aren't intel base? I have a gforce 9800 gt 512 pci.  I play aces high and it works fine.


But its for another game. My other game will not install because it does not support an intel Card. Any recommendations for a non intel card that can handle aces high and my other game.

I could not get a direct reply from that website so I came here. Sorry for the dumb question.

Intel GPU's are integrated to the motherboard. Basically if you have a read graphics card in the computer it can't be an intel. AMD/ATI and NVIDIA are the two companies that make real cards (they make integrated chipsets too). The current NVIDIA card are the 5XX series, the AMD are 5XXX series. They are very competitive to each other, so at a given price point you will have a card from each manufacturer that will be equivalent. Personally I prefer AMD cards.

geforce is made by nvidia, not intel...sounds like you may have an intel graphics chipset on the mobo and the other game is somehow finding that as the primary graphics card...(doesn't make sense but that's what it sounds like)

what game are you trying to run?

can you post what brand, model and specs your computer is? the information should be on a tag or badge somewhere...the owner's manual or order receipt should have the info.

if all else fails, post the top 3 sections of a dxdiag here... start - run - dxdiag - <ok> - <save all information> to the desktop - open the text file - copy/paste the system information - display devices - sound devices sections.

Sounds like you need to disable your onboard video IF you have another video card that you have dropped into the system.
