for example if i have a 256mb ddr3 pci-e nvidia 7600 gt and i had a power supply of 300 watts and the requirements said that it needed at least 400 watts of power would my video card perform slower? and if i got a more powerful power supply would i see a boost in performance?|||ur looking at it incorrectly .. having an inadequet power supply will cause unexplainable errors in ur system or can even damage components .. if u have a power supply that large enough then adding a bigger one will not help ur video .. however .. a good quality power supply will have more stable voltage and will make ur system more stable overall ..|||Yes. You probably will because your video card is probably getting really stressed out with that 300watt psu.
In fact, I highly suggest you buy a higher watt psu (power supply unit) so that your video card doesnt die on you.|||It is not going to work. if you have 300watt and need 400 you need 450 watt for all the other components to power.|||A better power supply and an extra fan or two in the case for better cooling will help you immensely.|||If you are running a power supply that is smaller than the one required for your video card your video card is probably running at less than 100% efficiency and you would take a performance hit. The rest of your system is also affected and it's not just your video card that is running sub-par. I suggest you put a bigger power supply in before you damage something. When you're playing an intense game and your machine starts to restart all by itself you will see why you should have put in the bigger PSU.|||well, with better power supply mean your pc performance will be better and more stable.|||Absolutely, I have a computer building guide in my forum that explains the importance of each component you select, and why.
http://www.hollandpcservice.com/forum/fo…|||technically it won't run slow. It will just make your system not to not be able to run stable. So if you use the 300W psu. Expect to have many crashes.|||It won't boost performance, but it will help it to run smoother by giving the video card the power it needs when it needs it.
Newer PC need at least 400w. Dual videocards (SLI) need at least 650w

Video card performance question?
i was told that the Sapphire Radeon HD 3870 would struggle with games where there is "intensive" 3D. i this accurate? cuz i was told that it was a good vid card. please help i just bought this card now im not sure if it was a good buy. Please HELPPPP! thanks|||when ppl talk about intensive 3D with a 3870, 4870 or any high end card, they usualy refer to Crysis. so its fine, all cards struggle with crysis, except of course GTX 295 XD XD
but the 3870 is a good card u should have no problems playing games|||why not simply try installing ur new vid card n trying it for urself with the games u have got !!!
makes sense huh ???
:)|||I would have to agree that they probably mean Crysis with the Intense 3D.
There are other factors to consider here.
How powerful is your Processor?
How Much RAM do you have installed on your Motherboard?
What game(s) will you be playing? (try to match the recommended system specs against yours)
At what resolution do you play your game(s) at?
Do you absolutely have to play the game(s) with all the settings turned to "Maximum"?
The only real way to find out is to install the card, Install the drivers and run a game and see how it plays.
Good luck.

Can software affect a video cards performance?
My video card died on me recently. It started happening when I updated DirectX and was playing Darksiders for PC. My computer was fine for over a week with the exception of system restore telling me to restore before I updated DirectX due to some sort of problem. After continuously retrying so that I may play my game, finally one day my computer froze and the system locked up whenever I tried to play any game or watch any video, the resolution was reset and there were artifacts everywhere. Was it just my card's time or did software somehow have something to do with it?|||If you are getting artifacts, then it is VERY unlikely that the software caused the issue.
You should try to reinstall your video card drivers just to be sure, but likely the card was on it's way out the door anyhow.|||It's possible the video card drivers had a bug that caused the artifacts and system lockup. If ever I suspect video card strangeness, I check for updated drivers first.
That said, video cards do get hot and that can kill them over time, especially as board-mounted fans die and heatsink paste dries out.

Video Card Performance Dropped?
Hey there. I have a nVidia GeForce 9600 1024mb Video card. I used to be able to play Crysis on High with about 60 FPS. I used to have 100+ COD4 With settings maxed out.
One day I logged onto COD4, and it was running verryy slow and saw 4 FPS.. I was very confused. After expiermenting, I saw a sudden decrease in video performance. I now get like 30/40 FPS in CS 1.6.
I've tried about everything I can think of to try and fix. New drivers, took out of computer and looked, nothing physically wrong, and can't figure it out!
Is there anything you can think of I can possibly do to try and fix it. Such as certain programs that cleans the GPU, or anything..

Low video card performance?
I've got a new Inspiron 1520 notebook with an NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT card. When I run the PCPitstop utility to check performance, I get a red flag telling me that video performance is unusually low at 38.78 MP/s which is only 24% of similar systems, it said similar systems typically have 156 MP/s rates. Any idea what is going on with my new system?|||Run dxdiag. Check driver details. If date is old, update your graphics driver.
Also try changing power scheme in power options to Desktop. Processor might be downclocking at current setting, thus slowing overall performance.

Is the Nvidia Geforce gtx 275 still a worthy video card performance wise if I can get it for $ 130.00 dollars?
Not really, you can get a GTX 460 1 GB for about $140-$150 these days and you'll have a faster card with DX 11 support. I wouldn't spend $130 on old tech.|||Yes, the highest recommend requirement I have ever seen on http://systemrequirementslab.com is a GTX 260, most games are still recommending a GeForce 8800|||yes! though you wont be able to play games in dx11, you will be able to max out almost anything.
Difference in Video Card performance to run Crysis game?
I have Core2duo 1.86ghz, 1gb DDR3ram, Palit video card 7100GS. At the moment my system is super slow running Crysis in medium res. It will only run the game decently in low res. I've read in many articles that changing video card to 8800GT 512ddr3 256bit will improve performance. Question 1 - So will it really improve the performance on my system to warrant an upgrade?
I saw in articles that I should buy EVGA brand unfortunately it's not available in our local shop. They only have - Inno3D, MSI and ECS all have 8800GT 512mb ddr3 256bit. Question 2 - Will buying any of these work? Which is best among the 3?
I'm hoping to be able to run the game ideally in high resolution or at least medium res.
Any inputs or suggestions welcome. Thanks.|||Your CPU is a little slow(a faster cpu can have a good impact in games) and you could do with another gigabyte of ram but they're current specs shouldn't cause too many problems in crysis, the majority of your performance issues are with the 7100gs.
The 7100gs would be the low end card of the geforce 7 series cards, it would have a much worse performance in games than the high end card of the geforce 6 series cards(eg 6800 ultra), so if you got a 8800 gt you would see an excellent performance increase.
An 8800gt 512mb ddr3 card isn't too expensive though depending on where/who you buy it from and given the performance boost you will gain, it is worth it. In Crysis, you'll see much better framerates at medium settings and you should even get playable framerates at high settings.(though its best to go for a custumized setting to balance it all out for your own performance, graphics and playability tastes.)
You want an EVGA branded card but your local doesn't have any so you should try to buy one online(its often cheaper than buying them from a shop) or if you cant, find an EVGA card online that you like and ask your local shop to get one in for you.
I hope this helps you out and best of luck to you.|||Yes, by god it will improve your performance. Looking at benchmarks recently done comparing your card to an 8800gt, you'll probably see close to 10 times the framerate you're seeing now. Pop another gig of ram in there (make sure you match the ram you have as far as ram speed goes) and you'll really start to see an increase. As far as brands of video cards go there IS a difference, just not a huge difference. The EVGA cards run at a core clock speed of 675mhz with a memory clock of 2000mhz. They, as far as I know, are the fastest you can get. Next in line would be the MSI card which runs at 660 and 1900mhz respectively. If you can't get the EVGA get the MSI. Get the ram too if possible. It should be well under $50, and if you don't pick up another gig of RAM you'll be bottlenecking your system and won't get the most out of your new video card. Hope this helps.|||They are all the same card, but sold by differant SUB retailers

Help for video card performance issue?
I have an ATI Radeon 9250 128mb PCI card. When I play fullscreen games, the video is PERFECT. When I try to view DVD's, video downloads or online video, and when I use Internet Explorer, every change in the image or video requires a 1/2 to 1 second refresh of the entire screen. I've messed around with the video card settings for resolution and refresh rate, but have not found a winning combo. Why would video/dvd and everything in Internet Explorer refresh so slow (video is unwatchable!), but full-screen games have such smooth graphics and motion? It seems the game would be more graphics intensive, but they work better... Is there a way I can fix this issue that anyone knows of? I can provide more information if you need.|||Hmmm... Good question.
Really all I can suggest is to make sure you have the updated video and chipset drivers for your computer.
Generally, when you have an issue in one area it translates into the other. Which this is not the case with your computer.
If this was simply an issue with the DVD's playing choppy I would suggest enabling DMA on the DVD drive, but that is not the only issue. So I have to assume it is driver related.
Try the new drivers, and if that doesn't help, come back.|||When watching video online, often time the bandwith to views the video causes it to distort.
It lots clearer if you were watching movie offline than online.
Another factor is the person who made the video whether he use a high quality codec program or similar.|||The refresh rate in Internet Explorer is limited by the network speed. Video downloading do take a long time as well. After the download the video file is in your computer and can run fast and refresh fast.
There is nothing wrong with your graphic card, I don't think you can do anything about it.
Cheers

Video card performance with 2 screens?

Is not having enough system RAM causing my poor video card performance?
I've noticed that running my computer display at 32-bit causes poor performance out of my video card when compared with 16-bit color. Does video card RAM or system RAM improve this? My video card is a Geforce 6200 AGP with 256 MB of onboard RAM.
Overall my system is a 2.4 GHz P4 with 512 MB PC 3200 system RAM.|||If you are running with screen resolution of 1024x768 and using 32 bits of resolution, each frame requires 25,165,824 bits of storage. Given 8 bits/byte, that allows about 80 frames to be buffered. That would seem to be enough video memory.
You say that your frame rate doubles when going from thirty two bit to sixteen bit quantization. Well, that's half the bits and a direct linear relationship between speed and number of bits! That tells me that the bottleneck is the processing speed of the Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) itself.
The Geforce 6200 AGP has a passively cooled GPU. From Overclocker Cafe, "Priced at $69, the Inno3D GeForce 6200A draws from two different audiences. One of cost effectiveness and one out of want to get their HTPCs to operate as silently as humanly possible. This is why we are able to recommend the GeForce 6200A to the AGP masses that constitute these two groups."
More system RAM certainly won't hurt and it is cheaper than a high end video card. But, I don't think it will do much to help your frame rate. To do that, I think you'll need a higher-end video card.|||Coming from a Gamers prespective the 6200 is a well, it's crap (other words are banned here). I consider the 6600GT a minimum.
|||Having more of both would help.|||You probably neen more RAM both on your video card as well as your computer.|||No.
there is no (RAM) reason why that card 256MB and your PC with 512MB should be affected at all when switching from 16 to 32-bit color.
what are you doing when it 'causes poor performance' ?
playing a game ?
update: ensure that the Primary adapter in your BIOS is the AGP slot, and that the apeture is whatever the MAX on your board is...upto 256MB that is. also insure that the PCI PALLET snoop is disabled, though it likely already is.
hope this helps.|||double your system RAM, 1024 will speed up your performance no end|||No, there shouldn't be any noticable difference. Having an incorrect driver for your video card, however, may cause this problem. Try installing the latest driver for your card from the manufacturer's website.|||For normal use you should not have a problem. You have more than enough system and video RAM. You may try removing the video driver and re-installing it.
On the other hand, in you are using it for video games, you may have to change the video card for one with much more onboard RAM.
You do have adequate system RAM.

Given 8 bits/byte, that allows about 80 frames to be buffered. That would seem to be enough video memory.
You say that your frame rate doubles when going from thirty two bit to sixteen bit quantization. Well, that's half the bits and a direct linear relationship between speed and number of bits! That tells me that the bottleneck is the processing speed of the Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) itself.
The Geforce 6200 AGP has a passively cooled GPU. From Overclocker Cafe, "Priced at $69, the Inno3D GeForce 6200A draws from two different audiences. One of cost effectiveness and one out of want to get their HTPCs to operate as silently as humanly possible. This is why we are able to recommend the GeForce 6200A to the AGP masses that constitute these two groups."
More system RAM certainly won't hurt and it is cheaper than a high end video card. But, I don't think it will do much to help your frame rate. To do that, I think you'll need a higher-end video card.|||Coming from a Gamers prespective the 6200 is a well, it's crap (other words are banned here). I consider the 6600GT a minimum.

|||Having more of both would help.|||You probably neen more RAM both on your video card as well as your computer.|||No.
there is no (RAM) reason why that card 256MB and your PC with 512MB should be affected at all when switching from 16 to 32-bit color.
what are you doing when it 'causes poor performance' ?
playing a game ?
update: ensure that the Primary adapter in your BIOS is the AGP slot, and that the apeture is whatever the MAX on your board is...upto 256MB that is. also insure that the PCI PALLET snoop is disabled, though it likely already is.
hope this helps.|||double your system RAM, 1024 will speed up your performance no end|||No, there shouldn't be any noticable difference. Having an incorrect driver for your video card, however, may cause this problem. Try installing the latest driver for your card from the manufacturer's website.|||For normal use you should not have a problem. You have more than enough system and video RAM. You may try removing the video driver and re-installing it.
On the other hand, in you are using it for video games, you may have to change the video card for one with much more onboard RAM.
You do have adequate system RAM.
How should I upgrade my video card performance?
Right now I have a gtx 260. Would it be better if I got another one of those and ran them in SLI or should I upgrade to a gtx 460? Which would increase performance more? Which would be quieter? Which would take less energy?|||Is is almost always better to just upgrade than to go with multiple video cards.|||I also have the gtx260, what i recommenden (and doing myself too) is too wait for when the graphics card reached the point that it cant handle the games anymore. Then buy a new graphics card. If you get the 460 gtx now, it maybe holds up for about 1-2 years, or what for the gtx 260 to expire in about 1 year and get a better card for the same price you have a gtx460 now for.
sorry for my bad english

How would Video Card Performance be affected if the computer only meets the minimum power requirements?
If I had a computer with a 350 Watts power supply, but i want to upgrade to a stronger video card, but most newer cards say 350 Watts minimum. What should i do?|||if it meets the minimum it will work the minimum is calculated with just a little room to spare|||Put in a bigger power supply...|||it is better to have more power and not need it than it is to need it and not have it. System stability will be degraded.
Get a bigger power supply.
Also, you need to check out your MOBO. many of the newer cards drag more power than the mainboard can stand, and main boards get blown out.

Video card performance?
I just upgraded from a nividia 7950 to an 8500 that is clocked faster has more ram yet my performance went down why?|||The Nvidia 7950 series cards are the high end of Directx9 supporting Nvidia cards. 8500 is the low end of Directx10 supporting cards. It is quite normal for 7950 to outperform a 8500 card (especially if it's a 7950 GX2 - dual GPU card)
You should buy a 8800 series card.|||The 7950 is a dual graphics card the 8500 is a single your going to see the drop in performance in fact it should be fairly drastic.|||I'm sorry but you didn't upgrade you just downgraded.
The reason for the perfomance drop is the difference in bus speed,memory bandwith and shaders.
If you wanted to upgrade you should have whent with at least an 8800GT.

Video card performance?
Looking to make a few upgrades on my HP m7790e Media Center PC. It currently has the integrated video card setup; GeForce 6150 LE . I don't do games, I just like high performance for TV, video(movies), HDTV, High resolution pictures, enhance Aero experience.
It has a PCI Express x16 slot. Will it run PCI Express x16 2.0?
Will I notice a performance increase going from GeForce 6150 LE to this:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as…|||A PCI Express x16 slot on your motherboard will not work with PCI Express 2.0 x16 cards to their fullest potential. They will work, but only as well as the PCI Express x16 slot will allow (which is still pretty darn good).
The BFG Tech video card will perform better than your current integrated graphics. Much better, actually. I'd go ahead and get it if you want better video performance.

Lucien Briscoe

Video Card Performance Problem?
Hello I just got a HD 5770 and its no running as smoothly as its so pose to be.
I have 3 GBs of ram a duel core 2.4 Ghz possessor so it could be that.
Games
Call of duty 4 is 1680x1050 all max 70 fps so that one is good
Team fortress 2 1280x800 all max 20-50 fps and thats odd
And finaly Starcraft 2 1080x800 all low 100fps then when there a lot going on 40 fps
So is this a problem i just updated the driver soo eny tips :/ thank you|||What CPU do you have? A Pentium D and a Core 2 Duo are worlds apart in performance.|||What is the motherboard model?
Does it have onboard video?
If so, you need to disable the onboard video and free up your ram in bios. Even if you have external video card, motherboard will try to use onboard ram as opposed to ram on video card to process, which can lead to lag issues.|||Sometimes it's just the because intel and ATI aren't 'perfect' for each other, if that's what you have.

Can my power supply support my video card?
I was curious, I have a Nvidia Geforce 6200 graphics card. I was looking into getting a new video card, that requires at least a 400 watt power supply. My current power supply is only 250 watts. I checked out my current video card's specs, and saw that it requires 300 watts. Will that decrease my video cards performance at all?|||I suggest getting a new power supply as high as 500 watts, not hard to install.|||Your computer likely won't run well at all. If you PSU doesn't have enough to power just 1 component then it's definitely not going to be able to power the rest of the computer at the same time.
How can a CPU affect my Video Card performance ?
I have an Intel 2 Quad Core q9300 ((6M Cache, 2.50 GHz, 1333 MHz FSB)
I'd like to update my video card to let's say Nvidia GTX 560 Ti.
Can my CPU slow down my graphics card performance if i wanna use it to its almost full power ?
(you may say that there is no game today that can use all the power of that video card , but there is actually a game called Mount&Blade Warband , where modding it requires almost all that power i think). Do i need to upgrade my CPU too ?
Thanks.|||I wouldn't upgrade my CPU, I would wait till the the price drops on them.
Sometimes its how the game interacts with the graphic card itself causing the problem.
I have the same CPU and a Nvidia GeoForce 9800 GT and it runs Games fairly well(Sorry I dont have the FPS on any games) and I play on my 42 inch LCD, TV.
Video card, Processor and RAM all affect your frame rate. Typically one (usually the video card) is the bottleneck that slows down your frame rate the most.
If it's just a FPS, it's mostly graphics card, since most of the environmental are handled by the video card (such as shading and mapping and the like).
But the CPU works different with different video cards
and if you upgrade, what are you going to upgrade to?
I you are going to make a big enough difference, you will have to by a new motherboard and get a i series Intel or AMD CPU, because the Quads are the highest to get on a 775 chip-set, if you get a bigger quad, there isn't going to be that much of a difference because they don't go up much higher.
also Video cards have Cores and processors of there own|||Your CPU will not bottleneck with that GPU so no worries :)
But, just to clarify, the CPU is all about loading things quicker. Each shape rendered by the graphics unit needs to be processed fast enough to be enjoyed by the gamer. So how it generally works is that the GPU will render all the environment (as someone mentioned), details, lighting occlusion and tessellated objects and PhysX (Nvidia). But, to be seeing all that smoothly, you need a CPU that can process all that fast enough.|||No you're fine, you don't really need more than a Quad Core for gaming. I had a Phenom II X3 720 Black Edition up until now with a 5770 and it gave me no problems. I upgraded to a 1090T, and that's because it was a gift for Christmas.
You can get a Sapphire Radeon HD 5870 off Newegg for $200, I suggest you go with the 5870.

Is there any software that will tweak/boost video card performance so games will not crash?
I keep crashing Halo 2 and it's because of the video card. Can't afford a new one right now and would love to be able to 'over-clock' or tweak to get better performance. Is there any freeware that will do this?|||If the card isn't currently overclocked and can't support the game, overclocking it will make your problem worse.
Can you be a bit more descript as to what's actually happening? "Crash" is very vague.

Does the motherboard affect the CPU speed and video card performance?
I am planning to build a computer and am wondering whether or not the motherboard has any affect on the CPU or video card, because I want to get a good motherboard that I wont replace. The reason for this is I need a computer but don't have the money to make one as good as I want so my plan is to maybe get a better CPU or video card or more RAM but I don't want to replace the motherboard. For my second Question I am going to include the list of parts that I want to use to build my computer, my question is, will Flight Simulator X run smoothly without glitches on almost full graphics. Processor: AMD Athlon X2 250 3GHz Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-MA78LM RAM: G.SKILL 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066 Video card: BIOSTAR VA5552NHG1 Radeon HD 5550 1GB 128-bit DDR2 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready Low Profile Ready Video Card Hard drive: Western Digital Caviar Black WD7501AALS 750GB, to find these products go to newegg.com and type in the description if you need more information, thanks.|||For what you have chosen, the CPU is usually what you build around, so here goes.
The Athlon II X2 250 is a good all round low end and cheap CPU. Excellent choice, BTW. The motherboard is an AM2+ which means it uses DDR2 RAM. This is a limiting factor that I would caution you about. I would recommend and AM3 board such as these:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductLis…
You will see that there is quite a variety of prices and capabilities. It all depends on how much you can spend. I would carefully look through these.
RAM prices are quite similar, with just a few $ between the two standards at the same capacities. Again the DDR3 is a bit more future proof. Here:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductLis…
Video is whatever you can afford. I like to go with mid range cards as they seem to offer the best balance between power consumption, performance and heat production. For this last reason I have stayed away from Nvidia cards since the 7000 series. Why choose that particular video card? For a bit more money you could get a 5570 which has better specs and uses only 3W more. For a 5670 you could get one for about $15 to $20 more and double the performance.
A hard drive is a hard drive. You aren't going SSD so the performance difference is quite negligible. A quick dig results in a $70 drive. A slightly deeper dig results in quite a few for $70. Here is one I have happily used for quite a while:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as…
A 1TB drive with a reasonable history of decent performance and a good RMA system. I speak here from much experience. You could also save few and get this:
Hitachi 500GB
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as…
Seagate 500GB
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as…
Western Digital 500GB
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as…
All three of these have free shipping as of this writing.
One thing you didn't list was a power supply. I would recommend you to get a 500W unit from a decent maker. You don't need much more than 350W for what has been discussed above but the extra is for future upgrades.
Good luck.|||it will of course but your current video card will probably not tax your motherboard much.in a bottlenecking sense.|||In a way. but it all depends on what kind of CPU and graphics card you have also|||A motherboard is acting like a bridge connecting every parts of your computer so that it can communicate with each other. When your CPU or Graphic Card or RAM want to send their data, they must use this bridge(motherboard). Each time those units want to send data, they must send using an electricity, when the electricity run on the motherboard it creates heat. So if the motherboard is not good enough it can withstand only small amount of heat, those units can send little data at a time, but if a good motherboard it can withstand much heat, the data can just come with no traffic jam.
So a good motherboard do effect the overall speed, but usually not much.
For your second question, it's enough for you to play Flight Simulator X, but if you are going to use this computer for a long time. I would recommend you to change you specs and make the RAM to be DDR3. The reason is because many big companies are pushing everyone to change to be DDR3 which make DDR3 price came down and DDR2 price gone up. And in a very near future DDR3 would be a new standard, your DDR2 RAM if it broken at that time it would be hard to replace or it might be very expensive.

If my computer Video Card performance is high and my processor performance is low will cause lag in game?
because i going to buy a new graphic card (Ge-Force 9800) but my computer is kinda old already about 2 year.
Processor/Ram: Pentium(R) D CPU 2.66GHz 2.67GHz, 1.43GB of Ram
my processor still good enough?|||your speed is plenty fast. if i read right it is a dual. most games recomend at most 2.6 that i have seen. but most are not even that high. the 9800 will probably be a 512 or a gig. so ram would be nice but not needed at this time. even if you run vista. most games only need 512 of ram to a gig. however most of that will be used by the built in ram for the video card anyways. it will help but not needed at this time. if you have the money then yes i would also add ram. again if you have a dual core or duo then you are perfect for now. single processor then the speed is starting to get a little slow for new games.
but if the speed is not fast enough then yes you could still lag even if you have a good graphics card. same with a bad or slow hard drive. my old laptop had a 5400 rpm hd and it would make games lag bad. when i put games on my external they ran perfect. but seems your computer is fast enough and again most games dont take more then 3 ghz single processor to run. and that is recommended. newer games are just now coming out. you can check with this too i will give a link. you pick the game you want to play and it will tell you if you meet the min or recommended. the only game i cant play is brother in arms according to it. however i play it just perfect. my cpu is 2.26 ghz duo. brother in arms needs 2.6 dual. however dual is not quite as good as duo and i think they messed up and put what they recommend. and not a min. also my computer has a overclock so i can run it at 2.5 when need to. other games like cod4 i think it says i can play min but not have recommended. cause it wont read when my computer is on overclock mode. for my computer it dont hurt it any to do cause it was meant for it. but other then that it kinda gives a basic idea anyways. so here is the site.
