• Satellite L30 - question video card update

  Hey guys!

  I have a Toshiba Satellite L30-113 and I am very happy with the way it looks and works. I managed to update the 3 GB RAM, the processor is in a pretty good shape, although it is only 1.7 GHz.

  Now, my only problem is that the video card, the laptop is equipped with (ATI Radeon XPRESS 200 M) is quite low. You have an idea on which other (preferably better) video cards is compatible with the Satellite L30 - 113 default installation?

  Thank you!

  Speaking of GPU Generly cannot be upgraded on laptops. Due to the specific design and cooling with limited cooling performance, it cannot be done.

• Pavilion 9220y video card update

  Hello
  I was hoping that an expert can help me upgrade/configure a new video card for a desktop HP Pavilion Elite 9220y.

  I have done the research to shed light on the issue, but would REALLY appreciate some help!
  
  So just that the machine has now integrated ATI Radeon HD 4350 - that it comes with, who I am is of course very well for the casual user, but I want a massive update to play new games.  Unfortunately, I'm stuck with this computer, so I can't build a new machine custom, so I just want to update my video card today... the rest of the system works very well if.

  My questions are:

  • Can I upgrade the video card on this specific computer HP Pavillion 9220y?
  • I read that I can replace the card using the PCIex16 slot? but is this slot PCI-E 1.0 or 2.0?  I could not find in the sheets...
  • If so, what kind of cards are compatible with it and are good for games?
  • I buy a power supply additionanl to run the additional power demand?  If so, what is a good thing that will work for the 9220y? http://www.Newegg.com/store/subcategory.aspx?subcategory=58&name=power-supplies

  It's just a lot to wrap around my head and I want to make sure I go about it the right way, before you update or buy anything!
  Again, any help would be appreciated more

  Hi Steve,.

  1. Yes, you can install a video card in your PC.

  2. the discrete graphics card will move into the slot PCI-E x 16.  HP is not posting slot PCI-E card, but a video designed to the 2.0 PCI card will normally be backward compatible with the PCI 1.x ports.

  3 game cards have different levels of performance and your choice will depend on the game being used and set of parameters. Check out forum and the game manufacturer's web site and see what others are using.

  4. more decent video cards will require a bigger power supply.  The p9220y has only a 300 Watt power supply.

  Here are the specifications of the motherboardfor the p9220y. Since most of the better video cards are wider than normal single slot card, then adjacent locations on the PCI-E x 16 slot must be vacant.

  I make a few suggestions, but I'm really in the dark about your playing conditions.

  TheCorsair CX600should have enough power for most video cards.

  TheNVIDIA GTX 550 TIshould have enough power for most video games with the higher settings. Screen resolution is a factor of performance.

  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.

  www.Newegg.com has many choices of power supplies.  Corsair, OCZ, Rosewill, Thermaltake...

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

• T420s video card update

  Then I bought the 'Business' Machine Lenovo t420s, I was really surprised to discover that it came with video card accumulation, just the lowest system based Intel grpaphics. I am not able even browse some of my applications of rich companies multumedia. The video is still lagging.

  I called Lenovo and requested an upgrade, but the suport Tech, said that Lenovo provides all options 'upgrade' for its customers.

  Please advice, how can I add card Nvidea to my machine?

  Hello. So you cliam that there is not a difference between low-quality Intel HD without any memory and professional video with dedicated memory card?

  If so, why any friendly manufacturing (instead of Lenovo) instaled map video saperated in their machine?

  in May the Intel hD is able to suport any multimedia application. If you zoom in/zoom out PDF with multimedia, is the difference! Need more time to open and PPT file. The video fullscreen is still trolling too. Anyone sell you a car with bike wheeles, why of Lenovo?

• HP 625 video card update

  Hello

  I would like to know if I can update/change my video card on my HP 625 model

  Hello:

  N °

  The video chip is part of the motherboard and the entire motherboard must be replaced by another which has better graphics (if any).

  The attendant costs for doing such a thing would exceed the cost of buying a new laptop with the desired video solution.

• Aspire the XC-605 video card update

  Hi all

  I recently bought an Aspire XC-605 and I need help, so I hope you guys can help out me. It comes with an integrated only video card. I wanted to update the graphs so I bought a card Asus HD 6450 Silent PCIe. I installed the card and booted the computer and nothing appears on the screen any card (Asus or integrated) I plug the HDMI cable.

  Do not know how to proceed at this point. I went into the BIOS to see if I could disable the onboard graphics, but there is no other choice. I think that maybe it's a power issue? I don't know anything about power supplies, but certainly one that comes with the system is not standard size.

  Can someone point me in the right direction?

  Thanks for your help!

  Hi pchandra

  The video card you have is a low power card - it needs about 75 watts and draws its power from the PCIe slot, so your XC-605 feeding should be enough.

  There may be a problem with the graphics card. I suggest to try the card in another PC to rule out a problem with it. If it does not work in the second PC, the card will be replaced.

  If there is no setting in the BIOS, it adjusts automatically, usually the output, so if you insert a card, it will default to it. Similarly, if you delete it, it should default to the integrated graphics card.

  Try the card in another PC and let us know how you get on...

• Compaq presario cq5320f video card update

  Can someone tell me what are the choices that I have to update my video card on this machine without changing the power supply? Enter the game on PC more. Thank you!

  There is really no quality maps of game on the market for your computer's power supply. 250 watt power supply is too low for this kind of maps and will need to be replaced if you want use more add-in PCIe x 16 graphics cards.

• Need advice on the video card / power supply upgrade

  OK, first of all I am a novice to PC. But I have a HP pavilion a6600f. I wan to be able to play games like Battlefield BC2 but graphics integrated card wont cut it. I checked some info and found what motherboard I have. Its a FOXCONN Napa HP P/N. There is a link to the Board of Directors in case it might help you to answer my question. http://www.cnsunnyit.com/products/HP-motherboard-KJ383-69002_78.html

  This motherboard is a card like a GeForce 7800 GT or ATI X 1900? These cards are what is suggested as a Minimum for this game. Also maps would require me to get a 400W power supply. The power supply can be changed as well? All the answers you may have would be great. Also remember that I know very little in terms of pc in order to keep its simple for a simpleton like me. Thank you!

  Hi 223fmj,

• Need video card update

  How can I tell what type of video card is compatible with my laptop (HP Pavilion ze5700)? I have an ATI RS200M Radeon IGP 345 M and I know that I can't update. I decided not to get another laptop right now and I would like to upgrade this laptop as much as possible. If you need more information, please let me know. Thanking you in advance for your help and information.

  Unfortunately, not really. There are external video cards, but they cost about as much as a new laptop. Also they do not type game video most of the time; they are designed to add the ability to use a third-party monitor or a fourth. External solutions pretty powerful little require an expresscard slot, which you don't have.

  I would like to know if it is compatible and which parts of the computer I need to perform this task.

  Thanks for your help

  @MagicToast, welcome to the forum.

  I think that the card will be compatible with your motherboard.  It will be a tight fit, but if you do a few cables, it should be good.  However, you need to upgrade your power supply unit (PSU) at least 600 w.  The card requires at least 500W runs correctly.  I love Corsair products.  If you buy a modular PSU it will allow you to use only the cables that are absolutely necessary to allow better flow of air.  A more powerful card will create more heat.

• dc5800 video card update

  Hi, would like to know if the ATI Radeon 1 GB PCI-E DVI HDMI graphics card HD6450 will be able to run in a dc5800.

  Thank you

  Hello:

  Yes, this card will work fine.

  Make sure that you first uninstall the current graphics card in the Device Manager, shut down the PC and install the new video card.

  Because the new video card has an HDMI processor, it allows to disable the sound system and the integrated video.

  To activate the sound system after installing the graphics driver, restart the PC, go into BIOS > advanced > menu Options of the device and change the audio setting on "Enabled".

  Save the setting it by hitting the F10 key and again when you go out (save the settings and exit).

  After reboot, the integrated audio system will return.
