This is what I am contemplating purchasing for my T3256. I know very little about video cards. I will not be doing any gaming, but am thinking about doing some video work - converting VHS and camcorder tape to DVD. Will this give me any improvement over the onboard graphics? Thanks! Any help is appreciated. |

I guess that would be pertinent information, wouldn't it?

The video card will help with games, but it won't help with converting VHS or camcorder tapes to DVD. |

Well, most add-on video cards helps only with displaying images for applications (like games) that need better and faster graphics than the on-board video. Maybe azpicturethis is thinking about a video card with a TV tuner or video inputs built-in? The on-board video is fine for seeing what you get when converting of analogue video to digital files. I don't think the add-on card has any effect on the software used to convert analogue video to digital files. I used to use a TV tuner card to convert video to digital files and did not see any difference when using the on-board video as compared to a video card I added later. As for converting video, I'm now using a mini DV camcorder with analogue-to-digital passthrough, which gives me very good results. |
