550-153w upgradeing graphics card

I bought a desktop hp 550-153w a few months ago and against hepatitis has noticed that this isn't some of the MMORPG of veneer was quickly I want (crashes/gel/gal). I want tograde my graphics card which is currently an Intel(r) hd 4400 to use a more powerful card that can handle the graphics in these games. the problem is that I have never upgraded a befor office and am unsure of what I need to map or if I have to put anything ells (CPu or cooling or such). im still not sure if the graphics card is integrated or dedicated.

Kody, welcome to the forum.

Here are the Specifications of the product for the computer.

There are two main things you need to know when buying a video card: 1) the power needed to run the card properly and 2) the length of the card.

The power supply unit (PSU) in the computer is an internal 180W.  It's not nearly enough power to run any of the newer cards.  Most of the newer cards requires a minimum of 400W.  This means that you will need to upgrade the PSU also.  I normally recommend at least 500W.  Corsair has done some very good products.  A modular power supply in a box size average, that's what I prefer.  It allows you to use only the cables that are absolutely necessary, allowing a better circulation of air inside the case.  This reduces the heat.

Now for the video card.  I love EVGA cards.  They make good products and have a very good team of Technical Support.  Here is a video card that would work well for the games you play.  You should read the reviews to see what users have to say about it.

    can I upgrade graphics card on pavilion dm 4?

    Laptops are unlike desktop computers.

    Desktop PC have an open architecture that make the relatively simple upgrade.

    PC laptop and portable access to the e/s available and put at level of the slots through the doors of the inspection and often almost total disassembly.

    Laptops are also limited by the BIOS and the physical attributes systemboard on the video modules and wireless can be used for upgrades.

    A BIOS of the laptop has a white list of the modules that are acceptable. If a module wireless or video is not on the whitelist, then it cannot be used. If a notebook THAT BIOS found during the POST (power on self test) as a module not on the white list has been installed it will warn you and it won't start the laptop computer in the operating system installed.

    If money is no object you can update the video through an exotic external graphics solution like Vidock Gfx.

    Hello

    The motherboard in your PC has a not very good history.

    Open your PC and do some measure to ensure that the GTX 550 will adjust.  This EVGA is a good model, but the ear there are other brands just as good.  The map is 8.25 "long.  The adjacent slot on the PCI-E x 16 slot must be vacant.

    You will need a bigger power supply.  A 500 Watt power supply should be sufficient for the GTX 550.

    Look at this Corsair CX500. It's good quality food.

    You need to open your PC and measure the physical dimensions of your diet.  Here is a list of the things to consider:

    1. Specifications
    2. Total power - important
    3. amperage 12 + v - important
    4. Modular - is not required, but I like the flexibility
    5. Warranty
    6. I7 and SLI ready
    7. Efficiency rating
    8. Cost
    9. The physical size - standard ATX PSU is 5.5 "by 5.9" by 3.4 "give or take a few tenths
    10. Only one + 12 volt rail is a better choice.

    Hi, I'm going to be upgrading from my power supply and graphics card for the p6-2442eahttp://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c03714374.

    I narrowed down it to 7790:https://www.aria.co.uk/Products/Components/Graphics+Cards/AMD+Radeon/Radeon+HD+7790/PowerColor+Radeo...

    7850:https://www.aria.co.uk/SuperSpecials/Other+products/XFX+Core+Edition+Radeon+HD+7850+2GB+GDDR5+Graphi...

    These cards are compatible with the current motherboard and system bios currently has?

    Also what would be a good power upgrade who would work with the computer, I was thinking of http://www.scan.co.uk/products/550w-psu-xfx-core-edition-p1-550s-xxb9-85-eff-80-plus-bronze-sli-cros... but do not know if it works or if there is a less expensive I could get.

    Or the other graphics card should work without problem. The HD 7850 should be faster in most of the benchmarks, while the HD 7790 has low energy consumption. XFX P1 - 550 s-XXB9 PRO550W food should be good, or you could consider the Corxair CX500, or CX600.

  • Upgrade graphics card for my Elite m9426f

    OK, so these are my computer specs: http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?objectID=c01570954&lang=en&cc=us&taskI...

    Yes, I'm aware that this is not the greatest, but until recently, I've not had many rightly complain about the performance of the graphics card, with which he came. Well, very recently, I got a little a reality check in this field, namely when I tried to run 'The Witcher 2' and * if this game didn't murder my card and take all his valuables.

    Because I know that the computer is pretty old, but I don't have enough money for a new computer, I thought I would upgrade my graphics card. The problem is this: I'm a complete newb to the material and I have no idea of what graphics card to get and what to do with it once I have. Anyone here have any useful suggestions?

    Once again, his mercy the newb and use simple terms, if you can. Thanks in advance

    Hello

    Go to the forum and the website of the manufacturer of games and get a proposal of recommended video card.  You may need to ask questions on the game settings and the impact on the performance of the video card.  From what I've observed for a recommendation of the video card, you need something of the order of the ATI 4850 to the NVIDIA GTX 260.  Two of these video cards require you upgrading of power supply in your PC.

    Review the specifications of performance ATI and NVIDIA . Look at the specifications of strip memory bandwidth and level of DirectX support.

    In general, I would recommend the NVIDIA GT 240 1 GB with DDR5 that your PC has only a 300 Watt power supply. The GT 240 1 GB becomes hard to find.  This card does not support DirectX 11, but then it is mainly to improve the fine details.

    My m9200t is basically identical to your PC and there is not a lot of room inside a video card shorter is better. Open your PC and make sure the adjacent location on the PCI-E x 16 slot (where your existing video card is vacant).

    The NVIDIA TI 550 and a 500 Watt power supply should do the work. The Corsair CX500 is good quality food.

    BTW, there's a patch out for The Witcher 2.

  • EliteBook 8760W: possibilities to upgrade graphics card

    I currently have 8 gig RAM and graphics AMD over-pants M5950. About to upgrade to 16 gig which is max for this (Intel Core i7-2630QM @ 2.00 GHz) processor.  "While I'm here why not upgrade the graphics card?" he asked. The notewbook is 4.5 years.  So, here's my question.  What might work for a new graphics card?  Thanks in advance.

    We usually say to people flat out "no upgrade is possible". In your case, not true. You already have a good map. However, the other candidate is the nVidia Quadro 5010 M which is a beast with 4 GB of memory video memory DDR5.

    http://www.notebookcheck.NET/NVIDIA-Quadro-5010M.47195.0.html

    Here is the Service Manual:

    If you switch to nVidia, you also get a different fan/radiator for the video card:

    Intended only for computers models NVIDIA graphics subsystems 652544-001

    Your video card can be bought on eBay for under $ 60, while the Quadro 5010 M costs more than $600 in order to see how much more desirable is the Quadro. You can also search other AMD/ATI cards that are not specified in the maintenance manual, but it's very hit or miss. On the some portable (removable) MXM cards with, they are not universally interchangeable. There are Web sites for only MXM card information and you can see one of them:

    the pci has a 1 PCI Express x 16 slot speed Gen 2 thus seeks a card that we can use with windows 10.  I don't know if I can use a pci card 2 x 16 most of the cards is.

    Thanks in advnace for the help

    Hello:

    Before investing money in a different video card, try to manually install the graphics driver for the GeForce 6700 W8.

    To install the driver manually, start by downloading this free utility for files.  The 2nd file is 64-bit.

    http://www.7-zip.org/

    Then download but do not run the graphic driver Nvidia W8 for the 6700 from the link below.

    http://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/82758/en-us

    After you install 7 - Zip and downloaded the graphics driver, right-click on the graphic driver file.

    Select 7 - zip from the list of options and extract 7 - Zip: and leave it to decompress the file in his driver's record.

    Once the driver file was extracted from his file, go to Device Manager and click to expand the category of device of graphics cards.

    Click on the map to display Microsoft base listed there.

    Click the driver tab.  Click on set to update driver.

    Select her browse my computer for driver software option and navigate to the driver 7-Zip created folder.

    Make sure that the include subfolders is selected and see if the pilot goes like this.

    Then restart the PC.

    If this does not work... your PC has only a supply of 250 W power specifications.

    An appropriate card that works with a this power supply would be the GeForce GT 610.

    He draws a max of 29 watts, and there are W10 drivers for it.

  • Pavilion p7-1414: upgrade graphics card

    http://h30434.www3.HP.com/T5/desktop-hardware-and-upgrade-questions/P7-1414-and-GTX-750-TI-SC-proble...

    As you can see in this thread, my computer will get full performance GTX 750ti due to my PCI ports.  So even if I upgrade my 500 Watt PSU, I always get a maximum return of 750 GTX ti. So in order to get maximum performance, what I have to get a new motherboard supporting the 750 GTX PCI slots ti?

    Greetings,

    Your PC meets the requirements of minimum 300 Watt power supply.

    Your PC has the UEFI BIOS necessary for the performance of the 750Ti. Your BIOS version 8.xx supports UEFI graphics cards.

    Your PC has a PCIe x 16 slot 2.0. The 750Ti will take place in a 2.0 slot, but at a slightly lower rate. It is not as slow as you think. A 3.0 card works fine in a 2.0 slot.

    The 750 will fit in your case, as evidenced by the physical installation of the card described in the link to the other thread user in your message.

    No PIN six additional or power connections 8 pins are required to run the 750Ti.

    I run a GTX 970 in a 2.0 slot and it works fine.

    You need to enter the BIOS (Setup) to disable secure boot and select start inherited before installing the 750 into the slot. You must also uninstall the current graphics drivers before installing the new graphics card. You need to return to the graphics drivers generic windows before installing the 750Ti GTX.

    See you soon!

  • Z1 HP - upgrade graphics card! Help, please!

    Hello world.

    First of all I would like to say my knowledge of graphics cards is very limited so if you would be kind enough to explain things to me step by step. Thank you

    So I bought a Z1 - model WM427EA #ABU - and have already updated the RAM, I want to update the graphics card because AFAIK that comes with my model is completely s * the graphics on borderlands (game) look terrible on my Z1 and shiny on my new classmates Vaio all-in-one. I played with the graphics settings in the game without success.

    I looked inside the Z1 and couldn't find something that looks like a graphics card. I looked at other models - one with the quadro 4000 - and they seem to have a black box, one on the left side while mine was just an empty space: s. According to most of the sites I have a card/controller "Intel HD Graphics 2000 Dynamic Video Memory Technology."

    It would be possible for me to say buy a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680 (http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/gpu.php?gpu=GeForce+GTX+680 & id = 41) and paste it into my machine? I noticed that there a housing as if she had to go in a tower. I should locate and remove the controller/original graphics card before I could install it?

    I really hope HP havnt done so its only compatible with some cards. Which would defeat the purpose of the machine being easily expandable...

    Any help appreciated, thanks a lot

    Chris

    PS you can get the specifications to

    http://www.equanet.co.UK/catalogue/item/it-equipment/computers/computer-workstations/HP-workstation-...

    Make sure it is the Xeon E3-1245v2 if you intend to do this (noting the "v2" at the end)

    It's a new architecture than the E3-1245 ("v1" If you want) and the v2 has a major upgrade to the graphics capabilities on the former model, will perform a little better for the CPU to destination as well tasks. It should work more fresh and quieter too, as an added bonus. It should not cost more than either a v1.

    You can buy units in a sales package retail or OEM (just naked CPU). You get a heat sink with the retail package, but you don't use it. There is not generally a big cost difference between the two, however, perhaps only a few £/ $ extra for the retail box. I tend to hesitate to ebay, unless I can't avoid it (as with the MXM cards). You have problems to find a 1245v2 to stock from several reputable providers and potentially get a better deal on ebay also.

    Replace the CPU isn't too difficult, but I recommend checking out a few guides before you try it yourself - I don't dive in details here on a generic CPU swap because there is nothing I can say that google or youtube will not tell you 10 times more.

    There is nothing particularly unique about the replacement of the CPU in the Z. The cooler is set by a few screws and simply lifts off once they are free (and the fans are disconnected from the motherboard).

    Once it is off, clean the bottom with something that won't leave a residue (e.g., not something as a solvent for nail polish with perfumes etc.. I use TIM Akasa cleaner and it works very well). Decliper and open setting around the CPU, pop in the new processor carefully, noting the location indicated by the arrow in the corner of the CPU lines until the arrow on the socket. Re-engage the strain relief and apply little thermal grease directly on the CPU (there are many on the market, I use Arctic Silver 5). Make sure not to apply too much grease, you're going to a very thin layer, better youtube it for technique.

    Then all that remains is to replace the cooler (making sure not to forget to plug back in), close the PC and fire.

    EDIT: One more thing-update your BIOS to the latest version before swap you the processors, it could not start with the E3-1245v2 with a BIOS earlier, which gives you a nice 'Uh Oh' moment, before realizing you have to UN-swap and then re - Exchange processors again.

Maybe you are looking for
