I have an old laptop and a new one. the new one passes on every detail on can you run it for l4d2, but not video card. my other laptop passes on video card but not most other things. Is there a way i can switch the video card from the old one to the new one?|||No, only high end and custom gaming laptops have replaceable/upgradeable video/graphics cards.
99% of laptops have a graphics/video chip set made as part of the mother board and are not upgradeable or replaceable.

How do i install a video card if the one i'm currently using is built in the motherboard?
do i have to uninstall the motherboard video card first? or can i put the video card already, then install while i am still using the motherboard video card? help!|||Since currently you are using the onboard graphic, so you cannot remove the graphic card. Otherwise your motherboard will be spoilt. There is only one chip inside motherboard for graphic processing. No need to remove any graphic driver.
Then just install the new additional graphic card. Make sure the graphic card socket is correct. AGP socket is for previous version and PCI-E for latest version. After you fixed in the graphic card, the graphic processing will be priority switch to the additional graphic card. So don't connect your monitor to the onboard VGA socket. Use the additional graphic card socket.
After fixed it, ON your PC then put in the graphic card driver CD. Then it should be no problem after this.|||It really depends. Some smart motherboards will automatically disable the onboard graphics when you install a new video card. Some wont do that, and youll have to disable the onboard graphics yourself, though that can differ between computers. If you have to disable them yourself, it can usually be done through BIOS.|||You don't switch it out its permanitly on the motherboard and you need to see if your motherboard supports PCI-E or PCI because some graphics card take different slots.

How can i enable a graphics card and onboad video at the same time?
the onboard video is an intel g33/g31 express family chipset and the graphics card is an asus eax300le. can both of these work at the same time to have 2 monitors?|||Umm... not that I know of... well, I think your graphics card needs to support duo monitor.. which my graphics card does not...
How do you find out how much memory your video card has?
I have tons of sims games, and I have uninstalled all then reinstalled them but 1. I just was wondering if I had enough memory in my video card for this game and a few other ones.|||i think your misunderstanding what video card memory is. Its not like a hard drive where it stores data for your games to access later.
Video card RAM stores and accesses data to what is being displayed on your screen at any given time.
if you have played the Sims games before and they ran fine on your computer uninstalling and reinstalling will not make any changes as far as how they perform. i hope this made a little sense.
if you are still intrested in how much ram your video card has you can install a free program that i like called GPU-Z
http://www.techpowerup.com/gpuz/
scroll to the bottom of the page and select download|||Click Start > Run
Now type "msinfo32" - open Components and click Display.
Alternatively you can type "dxdiag" and click the Display tab.
Cheers!|||Open the display properties found in control panel....now click on the settings tab..now click on advanced...and click on adapter to view ur video card information.....good luck|||One way is to peek into System Information console where you can check Adaptor RAM size.
1) Select Start > All Programs > Accessories > Systems Tools > System Information.
2) Then select Components>Display.
Cheers

What is the best video card for gaming?
I would like to know what is the best video card for gaming. I'm buying this as a gift and don't know much about it. My husband's video card is out dated and he can not play many of the games out there today. I would like him to be able to play today's top games at high settings.
|||Dual-GPU ATI Radeon HD 4870 X2 |||You should look at its ram and its megapixel. I recommend 516mb 3.0 megapixel, it can play the latest game. 256mb 2.0 megapixel is also good and cheaper but its slower and not compatible with the latest game, which use 3.0mp. Some 516mb video card need pc to change its power supply.|||evga gtx280 400$ after 40$ mail-in-rebate

Is there a difference between a video card and a graphics card for computers?
I have been asking many different people and keep getting different answers. Is there a difference between a graphics card and a video card for computers? Thanks to everyone in advance.|||No, they are one in the same. It's a matter of preference which to use, but they are synonymous.|||video card and graphics card for computers are only one.. there is not difference at all.
graphics card is known as video cards, or simple a GPU - graphics processing unit.|||Wise man say, one would call Tomato a tomato while one would tamato, Both are red and good to eat.|||nope, they're synonymous. now you have three people who say the same thing

How do I disable my onboard video card?
I want to use my new video card.What do I need to do?Step by step instructions would be great.I already have the card installed and downloaded the latest drivers but my game hasnt changed at all.Its like my computer isnt using the new video card and still running on my onboard card.|||Ok 2 cards in computer now what plug you put monitor cable into old or new? well, here step by step,
Switch computer off.
Put monitor cable in old on board grapix card port
when computer starts up hit delete or F2 what ever it asks you to press to get into the BIOS settings
once in BIOS look for the setting Grapix card onboard or PCI &AGP set it to either PCI if PCI express card or AGP if AGP card
save the settings but dont let the computer boot up into windows after mem count done switch computer off then swap minitor cable to new Grapix card port you just installed.
switch PC on again you should see the screen work else somming in BIOS not set right go back and fix BIOS settings else if screen shows up the grapix card is working and installed just needs driver now in windows and you set to go , hope this helps you|||Going to need a bit more info
Is this a home build or name brand?
What motherboard are you using if it is a home build?
What is the onboard graphics?
What graphics card are you using(new one)?
What OS?|||If you have the monitor plugged into the new card, then that is the new card it is using. Most computers are designed so that if they detect a new video card they automatically disable the onboard video. Normally you do not have to do it by hand.
Normally to disable the onboard card you have to go into the computers BIOS set up. That is done by pressing a key or key combination (F2 for Dell) at the first screen of the boot up. Normally the screen which tell you which key(s) to press.
As each computer system board's setup program is different, I can not tell you where in the set up you will find the option to disable the card. You will have to hunt.
You may want to check the setting for the new card to be sure that you have enabled memory sharing and/or have it set at the maximum amount, as the is usually the cause of a slow video card - not enough memory.|||You should only have to go to the device manager (right click my computer, click properties - go to the hardware tab and click the device manager button). Click the + on display adapters, then right click the one you're disabling and select disable. Is it possible you've got the monitor plugged into the wrong port? Since you've got two video cards, you may be plugged into the wrong one too.. Your adapter should have come with instructions on disabling the other adapter or making the one you've installed the default.|||Is your monitor plugged into your new video card yet?
