What is the real definition of masking relating with computer graphics?
Masking is covering up one part of an image. Either to protect the image during processing or to change it in creating a new composition. That's it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Masking_(in...
Do artifacts damage graphics cards?
increase clock speed = increased GPU speed = more heat generated = shorter life span of the card
If you have 2 graphics cards and 1 computer, how can you use them at the same time?
As long as you have two slots to take the cards, you can install two video cards. If you want to do SLI/Crossfire, then they’ll need to be a matching pair (at least the same model, not necessarily the same manufacturer) and have the connectors to do this. (Cheap cards don’t.)If you have two slots but cards that don’t do SLI/Crossfire, then you can still run both. They’ll just have to drive separate monitors, and the maximum framerate won’t increase. You’ll just be able to drive 3D graphics to both displays at once, which frankly is rarely necessary. This can be a good, cheap way to drive a Wall O’Displays as I do, though. I highly recommend that they be of similar generations to minimize driver issues, but it is possible to get two rather dissimilar cards to operate at the same time (I had a 9500GT and GT610 at the same time, but driver updates always broke things and I’d have to pull the 9500GT for the update and then put it back in).If you only have one PCIe x16 slot, but do have other slots, then the options become much more limited. There are PCI and PCIe x1 video cards, but they’re going to be quite poor by comparison due to the limited bandwidth between CPU and video card. Forget SLI/Crossfire.If you have no available slots at all, you’re stuck with USB dongles. Again, forget any sort of SLI or Crossfire, but you can still drive more monitors than your video card currently supports. However, it may well be better to replace your video card with one that handles more than two monitors simultaneously, and upgrade the speed at the same time, because these suck for 3D and in some cases even for video.
Questions related to Sound?
1- A woman standing 1km away from a storm hears a sound of thunder 3 seconds after she sees a flash of lighting. Calculate the speed of sound in air. 2-A student bangs two blocks of wood together when standing 125 m away from the wall within one second of banging the blocks together. When he bangs the blocks repeatedly at a certain regular rate, he no longer hears the echoes. The lowest rate of banging for which the echoes can't be heard is 81 per minute. Calculate a value for speed of sound. 3-A vibrating source is producing ultrasound at a frequency of 40kHz Calculate the wavelength of this ultrasound in water if speed of sound in water is 1500m/s 4-An echo sounder pulse is transmitted from ship towards the bed of the sea. If echo is received after 1 second, calculate depth of sea given that speed of sound in water is 1500m/s
Aside mining crypto, what else can we use high-end graphics cards for (gaming excluded)?
Graphic Cards are specialist at running tasks in parallel typically of the Math Variety “Floating Point Operations”.So as others pointed out Graphically relating stuff (3D rendering, Modeling)Scientific WorkBeing used for Deep LearningAnything using OpenCL, CUDA, Vulkan, DiretX, OpenGLIf you think of the CPU as a Genius Generalist and the GPU as a Genius Mathematician, this is a fairer comparison.
Graphics card temps always under load?
I doubt the graphics card is performing under load all the time...you need to get better airflow in your case, or turn up the fans on your graphics card. do you have a full tower case? can you add another fan in your case to improve airflow? I've never owned a sapphire hd 5670, but my guess is there is software that comes with it in which you can control the fans, otherwise there is a physical switch on the card itself, most likely on the fan
Power Supply upgrade question for ZT affinity 7613 Mi?
Photoshop has nothing to do with your Graphic card. Unless the Plug-in that you use supports CUDA, otherwise throw in Gigantic Graphic card is an equal waste of money. If you insist on trying, you are welcome to: GT520 : http://www.anandtech.com/show/4268/nvidi... This is a entry level of graphic with 48 Stream Processors rated at 29W TDP. For this card, your current 350W will be more than enough to handle it along with other hardwares. Gtx 550 ti : http://www.anandtech.com/show/4221/nvidi... This is actually a mid level Graphic card with 192 Stream Processors rated at 116W TDP. (Four times the processing power and Four times the power consumption). You will need to change the Power supply for this (coz the 116w will have to come out of the 12v Rail entirely). Now, I do not have any information relating to the current power supply's dimension, so I'll assume its a regular ATC Power Supply. But honestly, if you were going to make all these changes, you should build your own PC. As any alternation like adding graphic card or changing power supply will automatically voids the warranty. Furthermore, it could very well not fit into your existing computer case. (Don't ask me, coz I didn't built it) What I would suggest you do is, see the card that you are gonna get, look for the dimension. Then get a piece of card or maybe a sheet of A4 Paper, cut it to that size and see if go into your computer case. Height is not that important, coz it will only occupied 2 slots at most. It is the lenght that matters. Back to the power supply: If you were not thinking about overclocking: Corsair CX430 (capable to deliver 540w on test carried out by hardwareSecrets). Want something that's bigger and future proof CX500. Want to overclock your processor and make room for expansion, Corsair CX600 or the GS600.
Do I buy a graphic card or an external hard drive?
Not Enough Information.For example. "The graphic of my design product is not good". What does this mean, exactly? Does this mean that the graphics adapter that your laptop uses isn't very powerful? Does this mean that the graphics work you produce doesn't come out as good as you want it to be?Furthermore, you then talk about making storage space available by cleaning the contents of the drive that contains your operating system. You want to know if getting an external hard drive will make more space on your laptop, as your other drives are already filled.So... you have presented two distinct problems (at least). There is a quality issue relating to graphics, and there is a storage issue related to available drive space.Without the information about the make and model of your laptop (IE, missing information), we can't speak as to how to specifically address any graphic issues. We don't know if you have a laptop you can replace the video card in. Contrary to popular belief, there are a number of laptop manufacturers who have built laptops that use a removable video card form factor called MXM. MXM notebooks before 3.0 there's a list if you'd like to see. However no information you have provided actually speaks to graphic issues. I would gladly compare the system requirements of the software, but it hasn't been Unigraphics since 2007. Without a make and model of the laptop though, there is nothing to compare them to.As to making more space on your hard drive. Yes. Purchasing an external hard drive and moving much of the DATA that is on the full drive onto the empty one would free up space on the full one. DATA would include documents, pictures, movies, music, software installation packages (not installed software), disc images... things you would download. However, you could also purchase a larger internal hard drive for your laptop, reinstall your system (or clone it), and you'd have more drive space then.However, purchasing a new hard drive will not improve the quality of your CAD work. Also, getting a better graphics subsystem will not free up space on your hard drive.
