You purchase the latest "must have"

computer video game from the store.
The game has fantastic graphics but
it runs rather slow on your computer.
What must you do to increase the
performance of the game?

1. Install a GVA adapter that has
more ROM.

2. Install a video card that has
greater resolution.

3. Install a video card that has
a lot of VRAM.

4. Install a VGA card that has its
own CPU.

Is the correct answer number 2?

Please help

Thank you for your help, my question has been posted for a while.

Since you haven't received an answer, apparently no one with expertise in your area have seen your question. Although we have many experts who regularly answer questions, it's possible that Jiskha doesn't have a computer graphics expert.

If you haven't received an answer by tomorrow, please repost your question.

I can answer a lot of computer questions. But I am in a different country. When you first posted this, it was 2:15 AM here. I can check it at night (your morning...assuming you are in the United States)

But....

No. The greater resolution will do nothing for it. What you need is the ability to read and write more memory on to the card. The card game is slow because you simply cannot write enough memory for it quickly enough.

A video card with a lot of VRAM would generally be the best answer. Though there are a lot of other factors, that is the best option given.

To increase the performance of a computer video game with slow graphics, you should consider installing a video card with a lot of VRAM (Video Random Access Memory). VRAM is a high-speed form of memory specifically designed to store image and video data for graphics processing. By having more VRAM, your computer will have the capacity to handle and process the graphics of the game more efficiently.

Installing a video card with more resolution (answer number 2) may improve the visual quality of the game, but it does not directly affect the game's performance. The resolution refers to the number of pixels displayed on the screen, and while higher resolution can make the game look better, it may also put more strain on your computer's resources.

Answer number 1, installing a GVA (Graphics Video Accelerator) adapter with more ROM (Read-Only Memory), is not the best solution for improving game performance. ROM is mainly used to store firmware and instructions for the video card, but it does not directly impact graphics processing or game performance.

Answer number 4 suggests installing a VGA card that has its own CPU (Central Processing Unit). While this may help offload some processing tasks from your computer's main CPU, it is not directly related to improving graphics performance. Additionally, most modern video cards already have their own specialized graphics processing units (GPUs), so this option may not be applicable or necessary.

In summary, the best answer to improve the performance of a computer video game with slow graphics is to install a video card with a lot of VRAM. This will increase the memory capacity available for handling and processing graphical data, leading to smoother and more efficient gameplay.
