computer info on desktop image
Justin
Hello, I have recently purchased a new video graphics card for my Gateway desktop, but unfortunately I am unable to use it because of my Multimedia controller. I know this because under my Device Manager it says it is not functioning (Multimedia Controller) and needs drivers. (see picture below). I had recently wiped my Harddrive and I never installed the drivers for that device alone. I have been searching for these drivers for about an hour. I have found the drivers page for my computer model, but not sure what to download from the list of drivers available (link below) and if it is even there. Help would really be appreciated, thanks.

I don't think it's you new Graphic Card because Graphic Card's are sometimes Plug and Play, after inserting it to the PCI Slot, Windows will detect it and install Generic Driver.
Mostly that Multimedia Controller is a Sound Device, because Graphic Cards usually are VGA with (!). But seeing that you don't have Display Adapters which your Graphic Card should be seen, it must be that you will be needing to download its driver on the manufacturer's site, either NVIDIA or ATI. Look for its Model Number and search on google.
But if you want easy access and latest drivers, I recommend you use Driver Finder, it will scan your PC's hardware devices, look for drivers compatible with it and ready for download.
Hope it helps you with your problem.

Im looking to start making youtube videos soon and was wondering if there was anything i can change about my computer (desktop) or upgrade something to make it have more fps in minecraft for example. Right now i can run minecraft with optifine and get about 40-90 fps, but as soon as i run fraps or bandicam it lowers the fps down to 10-20 fps which isnt going to cut it. My computer info is:
Operating System:Windows 7 Home Premium
Processor: AMD Anthlon (tm) 64 Dual Core Proccessor 4000+ 2.10 GHz
Ram: 2GB
Video Card: AMD Radeon HD 6450

Thanks for all the help u may give me. Also can u pls add meon skype just in case i need more info and u can help me my skype is thepunisher199
how do i know when all these things are outdated?
Answer
I would get 2x4gb sticks of ram and switch that out with your 2gb ram. That'll help minecraft a lot. A new graphics card will also help you with frames a lot. If you don't want to spend money, then Judy's make sure all the drivers are updated on your software/hardware.
Rams gonna be about $60-$80.
A good mid-upper mid graphics card will be about $200-250. I would definitely get a new card first, especially for recording. Your card right now is kinda outdated.
