addition of graphics card?

so I bought a HP Pavilion 500-164 for Christmas, and I'll tell you, NOT what the man at best buy told me it was going to be. I came home, hung, then went straight to downloading games. Told me it would be battlefield 4 on medium graphics (which im happy) and he wouldn't even run DOTA 2 upstairs! I was wondering if there is a way to add a graphics card to the 500-164 Pavilion. any help is evaluated. Thank you

Yes, you can upgrade the power supply of the computer.  Here's a sample of what will work.  You must measure the existing PSU and compare the measurements to the one you choose.  This ensures that it will not go in the space provided.

  • Black screen after the addition of graphics card to H530

    I am installing an EVGA Geoforce GTX 560 Ti in a H530. I have updated to 600w POWER supply and tried to set the parameters of the BIOS to the appropriate values. The BIOS settings are: display = AUTO, Secure Boot = Disabled, CSM = on, the Boot Mode = Auto (also tried Legacy), Boot Priority = first Legacy, Video Display = Auto (also tried PEG). Whenever I install the card and start, the screen appears black. Once I remove the card, the display returns normally. On board graphics uses VGA, GTX uses DVI. Any ideas?

    OK, it's pretty embarrassing that I almost didn't write back. The monitor I was using has entered both VGA and DVI. Apparently, it is default to VGA and I found a source selector to choose digital & now everything is cool.
    Why I decided to write back, also the closure of this point, is to note that higher speed graphics cards can be supported by the H530. I installed an EVGA GTX560 Ti, which is not the fastest of the world map, but it looks like that he compared with the list of maps in the maintenance manual which IMO aren't enough of an improvement to bother with. Anyway, maybe the Bios settings, I've used will help someone else.

  • additional graphics card

    I have a HP Pavilion HPE series, the number of model h8 - 1380t.  The specifications are in the link below.  I have a PSU 460W.  I would like to replace my gt630 with a gtx770.  I know I have to upgrade my power supply.

    My question is the motherboard in this cabable of model of double implemented in SLI graphics cards?

    If so I would size the power supply for the SLI then instead of just the card solo, just in case I have add a second card in the future.  All recommendations regarding the additional cooling for a gtx 770 equipment would suspect that it is necessary or not?

    Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks in advance!

    http://h20565.www2.HP.com/portal/site/hpsc/template.page/public/KB/docDisplay/?sp4ts.Oid=5258496 & SPF...

    Typical GTX770 needs 230W. Allowing 300W for all essential items except the GTX is appropriate. Then add the GTX, and you get 530W. That's why HP recommends a 600W power supply in the config it is with the HD7950, which uses only 200W.  By projecting your scenerio, you'll need more 750W. A custom player would be a better choice, built for fan kits or water cooling.

    Is there another way to use a graphics card?

    Hello

    He already has a video chip (card). As mentioned above, no way you can add an external video card in your machine. In fact, there is a way that requires the following steps:

    buy a new motherboard that supports an external video card.

    (b) buy a new video card,

    (c) buy a new cooling system,

    (d) you may need new power supply (charger)

    And at the end of the day, your machine may NOT work as you dream and the total cost would be more than the price of a new, better computer.

    Hope this is what explains a bit more.

    Kind regards.

  • HP ENVY 700-311na: need additional graphics card?

    I would use 3 or 4 screens simultaneously running my PC with a different application.  That would be the ideal situation for my family tree project.  Is this possible?  Do I need another graphics card?  The graphics on the PC is an AMD Radeon R9 270, it already has 2 outputs and HDMI output but I struggle with this output, I can't use at the same time as the other 2 outputs.

    According to the specifications of this video card:

    • Support up to three displays simultaneously in the following configuration:
      • DP + two other ports

  • Addition of new graphics card

    Recently, I wana add new graphics from my computer. My PC is Presario CQ3160D. I discovered that my diet is just 180W, so then I can still add a graphics card? I buy ATI 5670.

    Hello RJHong,

    I took a quick glance to your pc and the ATI 5670 series tends to require a significant energy source (about 400 watts I think).  Here's a form on an ATI 5670 card example:

    http://www.Newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=N82E16814102902&cm_re=ATI_5670-_-14-102-902-_-product

    Any new video card you Pick-up with similar specs to the 5670 more than likely going to need a new power supply.  I recommend that take you measurements in your case for the power supply and your new video card.  I hope this helps.

    A last note, make sure that your PCI X 16 slot can support a PCI Express 2.0 card.

  • Help on graphics card memory and upgrade for iMac

    Hello!

    I need advice on a good new graphics card for iMac 27 inch end 2012. My work is mainly in animation, Visual effects and game development soon, so I need an additional card to increase my speed.

    Currently, I have a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680MX 2048 MB card. Do you think I should stick to a similar card? Is there something new that will offer me better performance at an affordable cost?

    I don't have much money to spend, but I can certainly use additional graphics now.

    I have also 2 remaining memory locations that accepts DDR3 1600 MHz memory module, but it seems that this module is no longer available. If I had to choose between a graphics card and RAM, which should I go with?

    Finally, can I install these myself? I don't have any Apple Store around me and I do not trust the computer guys in my area.

    First of all, the iMacs are notoriously difficult to make something with except add RAM. Here is a good site where you can get some info on the dismantling, etc.:

    https://www.iFixit.com/

    Usually, graphics cards should be replaced with the same model/type of work (if any) - see above site for this kind of info. I'm quite sure that you cannot add just one - iMac is not designed for it.

    Regarding the RAM, just check out OWC for necessary RAM:

    https://eShop.MacSales.com/shop/memory/iMac/2012_27/DDR3L

    Check that your model is listed. I don't know where you would have been told that the RAM is no longer available (FWIW, Apple does not sell RAM and uses of third party RAM in the new Macs).

    I'd go with the RAM - how many do you have now? Adding RAM is easy.

    Yes, it works with a motherboard that has UEFI.  However, HP has their motherboards made to their specifications and is not the same as the commercial versions.  It is difficult to find a motherboard that has holes to match the accessory in the case.  In addition, the connectors in the case aren't always the same thing as retail motheboards.

  • The Portege S100 graphics card problem?

    I have a Portege S100-S113TD, and I was watching a youtube fullscreen video, when the screen went suddenly full of horizontal lines and the laptop became unresponsive - I had to physically hold the power button for about 10 seconds turn off.

    Now it turns on but I only have a blank screen - it is the graphics card?

    If so, can anyone suggest where I can buy a replacement graphics card?

    The current one is a nVidia GeForce Go 6200TE 64M / 128 M 6600TE - I tried looking for one, but perhaps they are now obsolete.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hello

    > Now it turns on but I only have a blank screen - it is the graphics card?
    It seems that Yes

    But you are able to test the laptop with an additional external monitor?
    If possible, connect the external monitor and press Fn + F5 to check if something would be visible on 2nd screen.
    If photos on 2nd screen would be visible, then the GPU is OK and only your internal display is faulty.

  • Pavilion G6 1304SM: not updated for Win10, AMD graphics card causes serious productivity issues

    Hello.

    I bought my laptop around August 2012. A week ago I updated my computer laptop Windows 10 x 64 to Windows 7 x 64 operating system. Then I did a clean install of Windows.

    I got almost all the driver through Windows Update software. However, the driver for my graphics (Intel HD 3000 + AMD Radeon HD M 7450), I received is defective.

    In Device Manager, the AMD graphics card is referred to as "AMD Radeon HD 7000 series" instead of "AMD Radeon HD M 7450" (the way he recalled on Windows 7).

    On the site Web of the product on hp.com, where I used to see a large list of all downloadable drivers, specially designed for this computer, HP only pasted a label reading "Windows 10 drivers can be downloaded via Windows Update."

    Running in graphical mode fixed, AMD is shown with a yellow exclamation point in Device Manager (I tried to update, but it says I have the latest version). I can't disable the Intel card, otherwise I'm stuck with a resolution of 800 x 600.

    In dynamic mode (the one I'm used to working on), I used to set which application uses what GPU via the Catalyst Control Center. However, now when I do that, if an application is set to run under AMD GPU, it never starts. (It will allocate about 30 MB in RAM - visible via the Task Manager - but will not open the main window). If I change the GPU to Intel, the slopes of the app, but under limited return capabilities.

    I use extensively chart AMD. Not being is not able to use it causes problems of great productivity for me. Are there possible solutions for me, not to mention that roll back to Windows 7?

    Hello @tbc3434,

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!

    I read your post on the switchable graphics and wanted to help you!

    You can try to download graphics drivers for Windows 7/8.  If you're still having problems, then you can opt to go back to a previous generation option, in your system settings:

    HP Notebook PC - upgrade to Windows 10

    Once you return to your original operating system, check to see if you encounter the same problem. If this isn't the case, then you can consider holding off on upgrading Windows 10 until the drivers can be updated.

  • Qosmio X 70-B-10 t - failure of the graphics card

    Hello. I offen had failure that the graphics card driver hang up and recovered himself. But today, I got this failure to the course to watch live TV streams and it seemed to me that the laptop does not work correctly. I tried to restard and then I get this message: DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL (cmdhlp.sys). It must be the graphics card and I don't think it's a hd or RAM failure in this case.

    Any tips? Repair? New graphics card?

    Thank you!

    On this virtual path, it is not easy to say what can be the reason of this failure.
    Repair is always the last step. What you can do is to test the features using Notepad with "factory settings, without having to install additional software.

    What operating system do you use?
    Do you use the original display driver or some day?

    Hello @zkdls94,

    This one has a system recommended 300 w power.  You will not have to upgrade the power supply.  However, since it has the support of the bus PCI Express 3.0, you may still experience a lack of performance.  I can't recommend a diet.  If you choose to go with the first graphics card, you must upgrade the PSU to something that is at least 400 W.  I hope this helps.
