Title: DXDIAG Report - how to decipher
Post by: TequilaChaser on August 05, 2009, 11:58:21 AM
OK PC Gurus, when someone post their DXDIAG report.....how do you determine if their videocard/display adapter is infact an "Onboard Integrated Video Card" or if it is an actual "Add On Individual Videocard Adapter"

in the below example of a DXDIAG report, is it the piece of information I have Underlined and put in Bold text? that is the deciding factor?

just trying to verify this information on the DXDIAG reports........... or if it is something else that tells you if your Video is Integrated or is a seperate Independent Added On video Card

Thanks in advance

Model numbers and/or the static RAM available is usually a good clue.

FX5200 is not an onboard video chip.  It is an add-in card.

thx Skuzzy.. I found what I was looking for

it is an FX5200 AGP video Card 128 meg video.......the motherboard had 64 meg onboard video memory/shared

embedded Real256E Graphic engine, 64M share memory and one AGP8X slot ( which onboard video is disabled )
