• Video driver update for NVidia GeForce GTX 660 M on Alienware M17x R4

  I am owner of Alienware M17x R4 with GeForce 660 M graphics. The latest drivers for my system currently 307.17 on the Support of Dell Web site version. Recently I met some graphical problems during the game and the people from the Steam forums advised me to update my video drivers.

  So the question is: can I use the video drivers supplied by NVidia on their Web site? Are there disadvantages using these?

  Thank you!

  Hello!

  We recommend that you use the drivers from the Dell Support Web site, but if you want to upgrade to the latest NVIDIA driver I suggest you only do a fresh install of the driver as explained here.

  If you continue to experience problems during the game, try the troubleshooting steps in this article.

• Can I install a Nvidia GeForce GTX 660 in my HP laptop?

  Hi I was wondering if I could install a new graphics card in my HP laptop? My laptop is a HP 15-d051sa 15.6 "so you can search to the top on Google.

  My specs:

  RAM: 8 GB

  HARD DRIVE: 1 TB

  Processor: Intel (r) Pentium (r) CPU N3510 2 GHz (cache 2 MB)

  Graphics card: Intel HD Graphics

  I think they have all the features that I need to talk to you guys to help me.

  -Zack thanks.

  No, it can't be done. The video system is part of the motherboard and cannot be changed. Even if you have to change for the best HP 15 motherboard it has much less powerful than the 660 GTX graphics and motherboard Exchange would cost as much as the laptop did initially.

  I have the X 51 - R1, with processor i3-3220 @3. 30 GHz processor.  I'm interested in upgrading my video card and was looking for recommendations, at the price of decently.

  Thanks for your time.

  You have the R1. The R2 does not comes with the i3-3220. You may not use any video card that uses more on our 330w power 150w. The video card must not be greater than 9.5 "x 4.3". I can't recommend the Dell OEM = video cards

• Alienware 17 (the one that costs $2048) comes with an Amd Radeon, but is it possible that I can get a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 880 M graphics with 8 GB total GDDR5 on this subject?

  Alienware 17 (the one that costs $2048) comes with an Amd Radeon, but is it possible that I can get a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 880 M graphics with 8 GB total GDDR5 on this topic on the official site? Or automatically made it that the $ 3198 costs one?

  As the video card is not configurable, you need top line model for the nVidia card.

  Even if you do not find the card separately, it is pretty close to the best that you can get these days - and portable at the tip cards can easily cost $ 1 000-1 500 just by themselves, so you would not probably save at the same time.

  I went to very difficult to leave my boyfriend to buy this pc.  First of all, that we now live in different countries.  I live in the United States and he lives in England.  We met on a PS3 game online called DUST 514 and played a lot of pc games together as well.  It is difficult to have to steal it back, but we're getting married soon and I'll come to England.  He needs a new PC for years and was jealous of my Alienware Aurora R4. So I decided to buy one that is still better than mine since it's even greater player I am . This will also allow us to play more games together .

  Then I he wired the money and thought that everything would be ok, but you wouldn't believe the amount of screw - rises, that Dell threw on him!  They had even cancel a bunch of commands of the peoples, b/c, trying to control his spec-ed on Alienware has revealed a major screw-up affecting many clients... (Sorry, it made me delete/modify-this until his order passes through.  Dell representatives were concerned about what happened past.  I don't know if they told people that they had to cancel the real reason why orders and the possible impact on customers with currently Alienware Aurora...  I'll tell you what they have done after that his order is finally through.  Just a hint... inside your Alienware Aurora, check if you own to make sure that everything you ordered is actually there...)  He tried to do this for a week now...  I thought Dell was a little better than that... I knew they had bad grades, but really?...  In any case, it is a complete system stressed mess of it all back and on phone calls and e-mails with different people of Dell.  So I thought that, if it still manages to get the Alienware, maybe I can do even better!

  He really should have an SSD, so I'll get a. He was talking and drool on the maps of Titan, so I'll give him two EVGA NVIDIA GeForce GTX TITAN Superclocked 6 GB GDDR5 2DVI/HDMI/DisplayPort PCI - Express cards in SLI config! : http://pcpartpicker.com/part/evga-video-card-06gp42791kr

  I've never built a pc or tinkered with all hardware.  I want to make this even more impressive pc by adding an SSD.  I think I can install an SSD without any problem (I want the Samsung 849 EVO Mz-7TE1T0BW 2.5 "1 TB SSD)... Oops... I just thought of something... 4 TB SATA is actually 4 2 TB SATAs, put in place with 2 as the mirror...  I think that there are only 4 connectors for extension for SSD/HDD... Is this correct?  I have to replace one of the SATAs 2 TB with the 1 TB SSD?  What configuration I would define then the three SATAs 2 TB?  Would it be to say that he would have only 1 TB SATA? Could I set up so that it has SATA 1.5 TB (with SATAs split with half active and part of the half of the mirror for a RAID configuration)?  Furthermore, I have really no idea what RAID is or fact, just that you only half of total storage really active and the second half is as a backup in case of failure of a disk or something to avoid any data loss total... It is also the thing that I'm confused about that I don't know if it is also possible to install two graphics cards of Titan in SLI configuration on the micro ATX motherboard, I guess its Alienware Aurora will be, and still less 1 Titan.  Yes I know it is exaggeration lol, but the game is very important for us, especially since this is how we met.

  Sorry for the long post... Finally, the MAIN POINT & QUESTION:

  I have to install a different motherboard like the Asus Rampage Black Edition IV: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/asus-motherboard-rampageivblackedition in order to install two Titan GPU in SLI configuration?  If so, how this O_o...?  Also, I heard that there is a 'girl' Council that controls the Alien FX LED lighting and ventilation Active... How to connect to the new motherboard (if I need to get a new one)?  Also if I get the other motherboard (if this motherboard work with everything) this motherboard would have space for 4 x 2 TB RAID 1 + 0 and the 1 TB SSD SATAs?

  Please answer.  Thanks, ~ value

  to install two Titan GPU in SLI configuration?

  Don't know why you config-ed with two years 780 in SLI if you want two Titan-SLI but this guy did:

  http://en.community.Dell.com/Owners-Club/Alienware/f/3746/p/19512935/20402844.aspx#20402844

  Personally, I'd keep just 780 - SLI, since the two configs end up being very similar to the performance. Either they're going run hot (in the game of max.).

• Photoshop CS6 does not recognize my NVIDIA GeForce GTX 675 M GPU?

  I just bought a brand new Alienware M17x R4 with Windows 8 Pro x 64 and Photoshop CS6 does not recognize my NVIDIA GeForce GTX 675 M GPU?

  I've already updated Windows 8, Photoshop and graphics drivers from Nvidia.

  Any ideas?  I spent so much on a nice graphics card, but now it seems that PS CS6 cannot even use.  It uses rather the HD4000 Intel:

  

  I also tried this: http://forums.Adobe.com/message/4545768#4545768

  And remove the settings, but that didn't help.

  According to this, my graphics card should work, it's an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 675 M, which is a 600 GPU series: http://helpx.Adobe.com/Photoshop/KB/Photoshop-CS6-GPU-FAQ.html#tested_cards

  Tested for Photoshop CS6 video cards

  Adobe has tested the following video cards before the release of Photoshop CS6. This paper presents the video card in the series. The minimum amount of RAM supported on video for Photoshop CS6 cards is 256 MB. 13.1 Photoshop cannot display features 3D if you have less than 512 MB of VRAM on your video card.

  Important: This document is updated as newly released cards have been tested. However, Adobe cannot test the cards timely. If a video card is not listed here, but was released after may 2012, you can assume that the card will work with Photoshop CS6.

  Adobe tested laptops and desktops of the following cards versions. Don't forget to download the latest driver for your specific model. (Laptop and desktop versions have slightly different names).

  nVidia GeForce 8000, 9000, 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600 series

  I'm out of ideas.  Any suggestions?

  So, I thought about it... duh.

  

  My bad... or rather, Nvidia is bad!

  In their app Profiler, they set Photoshop to use the settings "by default", which defaults to the built-in graphics card.  By changing the profile so that it uses the discrete graphics, it worked!

  It also fixed my issue of the flashing background / flicker.

  I know it's a bug known with Windows 8 + AMD (http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/image-background-transparent-or-flickers.html)

  However, Adobe should look at this same bug occurring with the HD4000 Intel Integrated GPU, because this happened with my laptop.

  Maybe this bug does not occur on systems that don't have a GPU integrated, but on systems with Optimus, that's certainly a reproducible issue.

  When I go to integrated, the question pops up again.

  It's nice that Nvidia offers an option for us to use the graphics integrated or discrete, however, Adobe must proceed and make sure that Photoshop doesn't wig when we use the Integrated GPU.  Sometimes, your customers need to do work on the energy of the built-in battery, so the flicker /flashing / transparent background bug should definitely be fixed.

  Personally, I can get 6 hours out of this laptop that runs the built-in GPU, but when I use the discreet, he cut down to only 2 hours.

• HP Pavilion p6-2102ed: MSI GeForce GTX 660 on my HP Pavilion p6-2102ed work?

  Hi all

  I have a HP Pavilion p6-2102ed with H-CUPERTINO2-H61-uA TX motherboard (Cupertino2).
  I would like to enhance it with a MSI GeForce GTX 660.
  Is the big question now: they both will work together?

  I already read something on the power supply. The video card requires a six-pin plug connected to a power supply, which is not the p6-2102ed.
  1: how to solve this? Do I have to buy an external power supply? If so, of what powersupply do you recommend? Or can I buy a cable (with six pins) and connect it to the power supply built in the p6-2102ed?

  2: I read the MSI GeForce GTX 660 measure 260 mm long. According to me, it will fit in the case. So it will not be the problem I think.

  3: the Bios will accept the new video card? Or what I need to adjust some settings in the Bios?

  Here are all the questions that I can think of right now.
  Please correct me if I wrote something wrong, and if you know the most important information, please tell me!

  Thank you for helping me.

  Hello

  The NVIDIA GTX 660 should work in your PC if it has not been flashed with a UEFI BIOS update. You will need to check with MSI on this situation.  I have an EVGA GTX 660 and I did the flash of UEFI to my graphics card.  Find out what the return policy is before you buy.

  The CX600 Corsair or CS650m would be an excellent choice for a diet.

  -------------------------------------

  BTW - The NVIDIA GTX 660 is a map of excellent graphics for HP PC that do not run a 8 BIOS version.

• Intermittent outages Desktop HP Pavilion p6510f - 25 Antec 430 WATT power & NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX 650

  After installing a video card and a new PSU (Antec 25 430 WATT power & NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX 650), my system has become unstable.  It worked fine for the first 3-4 hours, then had a BSOD (blue screen of death) with kernel_data_inpage_error 0000007 a and later a 000000F4 of critical failure of the process.  I did all the tests mentioned on this page but also removed and replaced the cmos battery:

  * 1137.html http://www.faultwire.com/solutions-fatal_error/kernel-Data-InPage-Error-0x0000007A-

  All the tests passed and no problems have been found, and yet the system still does not work after 3-4 hours of use.

  So, I removed from my system and restored to its original settings.  He seems to be back to normal now (but we'll see how long).

  This experience has demoralized me.  This is because I heard other people having difficulties trying to upgrade their systems.  Looks like he has about a 50% success rate, unless you know what works from past experiences.  I think that the only way to get a system that now has good graphics is a well tested game box (PS3, XBOX or Wii).  Are there any recommended or possibly well tested configurations for this type of system that could give me the quality of a GEFORCE GTX 650 without result in a blue screen or instability for my computer?

  Because this computer comes with ATI and AMD parts, I guess that maybe to get an ATI or AMD graphics card would work?  Whatever the graphics card, the 250W power that comes with this system would probably need to be replaced.  Are there any power supplys that recommend or possibly tested?

  I realize there are a few questions in this post, but I have a more.  Is there any motherboard of analytical tools to enusre that nothing went wrong with the motherboard?  When the blue screens are produced that it seemed to make strange noises from the drive as he stole it and after the reboot it would sometimes fail to recognize the existence of the hard drive as well.  Given that all the hard drive passed (I also ran SeaTools), which leads me to believe that power is great, but I fear now that if I upgrade the power it will only cause more problems.

  A paying, customer

  Zintage

  The machine was only 2 years old.  It of a shame that it worked so well for so long and then brought by a poor diet.  It is a 750 GB Seagate Barracuda hard drive.

  I went back to the power supply and the video card, cut my losses and buy a 1 TB drive.  I cloned the old disk (on fortunately he was still working) and left on for more than 24 hours.  The system is now on his feet and works as it should.  Who will be last and only attempt to upgrade.

• EVGA GeForce GTX 660 Ti

  I have a HP e9180t desktop computer and I'm looking to upgrade to an EVGA GeForce GTX 660 Ti. This video card is compatible with my desktop computer?

  Thank you

  Hello:

  Unless someone actually installed one in this model, it is difficult to say with certainty at 100%.

  However, based on the specifications of the PC should be, because the specifications state that the PC has a P/S 460W.

  Just check to make sure that food has two connectors 6-pin PCI Express (PCIe), because it is a requirement for the card.

  Nice day

  Looking to upgrade my Pavillion H8-1221 son with a better graphics card, currently it is running an EVGA geforce GTX 660 and we are looking for upgrade to GTX 980 it.  I was wondering if this will require an upgrade mobo as well or is the OEM card sufficient to manage this card.

  Thanks much for any help.

  SonicRising, welcome to the forum.

  I don't think that the video card will work on his computer.  980ti GTX requires UEFI in the motherboard instead of a standard BIOS.  The only BIOS update that is available is to win 8.  You will need to update in 8 Win.

  Regarding the upgrade of the motherboard, HP has their motherboards manufactured to their specifications.  Therefore, you must buy a Board that has holes that will correspond to the accessory in the case.  In addition, connectors can be owners, and may not correspond to those of the species.
