| 591002 | 2007-09-14 01:34:00 | Should integrated card display blurry images when playing videos if compare it with a computer that has a graphics card on its own? | Ninjabear (2948) | ||
| 591003 | 2007-09-14 01:51:00 | Sure will if the graphics in the video are to powerful for the Intergrated chip. A graphic card will always display better images (usually) it also depends on what type of grapics you are trying to run. |

| 591005 | 2007-09-14 02:03:00 | Not usually. Because of the really small amount of space you have to work with, it is a lot harder upgrading your graphics card. If you want to, let us know what your laptop is, and can have a search around to see if/what the options are. |

| 591006 | 2007-09-14 02:16:00 | The Video player can also have an effect on the output, what are you using to play videos ? Either >VLC Player (www.videolan.org) or Viplay Direct download link (www.urusoft.net) or Screenshots (www.softpedia.com) Both play just about any format and are FREE! |

The video card only has to interpret the video signals from the CPU and output them to the screen, even the cheapest video solution wouldn't have problems outputting the video. Seeing as the CPU handles the decoding of the video the processing power of the video card would have zero affect of the quality of image. The only time a video card may come into affect is when applying filters or upscaling the video, both of which could be done on the CPU in a worst case scenario. If the video card is crappy then everything will look crappy, not just videos. Its more likely to be a dodgey cable, or incorrect software settings. |

| 591008 | 2007-09-14 04:04:00 | unless it's an extremely ancient lappy then it'd be a P*ss poor onboard video system that couldn't play a video ........whats the system specs and how much ram is assigned to the vid ?.....and have you tried the latest codecs ? | drcspy (146) | ||
| 591009 | 2007-09-14 04:33:00 | Care to explain how integrated video would affect the viewing of videos? The video card only has to interpret the video signals f. Maybe I should have put like depends on the type of video or device. A laptop was never mentioned in the original question. Several DVD's I played on a lappy - all the screen was unwatchable. I do know what you are saying regarding the output from the CPU /RAM etc. Also different Players play better or worse. EG: Nero Showtime was rubbish, yet VLC played a lot better. Maybe I worded that slightly wrong - but I have a laptop here that if I play DVD's from it, some of them are rubbish in the output, I changed the drive - no difference, yet the same DVD plays fine on my PC's or DVD player on the TV. If its a mpeg or avi file they play OK. The DVD's that appear to be mostly affected are the duel layer DVD's. Older DVD's play perfectly (not that I really watch DVD's on A lappy):yuck: And yes it is an older laptop, with a smaller CPU, its been taken right up in spec's as far as it will go. |
