• Want to 700-074 video card recommendation

  I start to play a MMO and he says my driver is low level. She still plays. There is no newer driver on the HP website and I can't load new driver Intel that HP has installed a driver(for stability) custom

  A more recent MMO starts in April with graphics much higher. I was told that the video card which is on board the system will probably confine myself to the middle level graphics on this game. So I am looking to update my video card. I understand there are limits on what can be installed due to having only a 460W PSU.

  Can anyone recommend a new video card?

  My limit is $300

  Thank you

  Hello

  This Sapphire 6850 2 GB so you can find again it might be useful to review.

  When you want to use 3 monitors then one of the monitors must be native display port or you will need a AMD validated active display port dongle with AMD Eyefinity.

• video card (recommended 300 watts) with the power supply only of 280 watts max.

  What are the risks of having a video card which recommends 300 watts connected to a computer that has only 280 watts? The only risk I know is maybe crashing, freezing and restarting the computer. It will damage also any hardware in the computer?

  Yes, you may damage other components as well as the video card. It is quite inexpensive and easy enough to replace a power supply with a new supporting material you want to run. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

• 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.

• (Redirected) Alienware Area 51 R2 - video card is dead - can I get a replacement?

  Hello

  Curious to know if I use here. Last weekend I woke to my PC beep to a black screen. 6 beeps in a row over the post, then nothing. Beep codes indicate a video failure. I remove the Nvidia GTX980 card and replaced by another, I had. PC boots fine and video work. I try reinstalling the Nvidia card in different locations, check the cables and the alignment, still 6 beeps and no video.

  I bought the system in March 2015 and the warranty expired month last on 4/1. Of course :(

  Am I out of luck? It is an expensive problem to have happen after only 1 year.

  As you have no warranty, then you are "out of luck" greetings to Dell providing a free replacement graphics card.

  How can I disable integrated/onboard graphics on my hp 3500 pro using windows 7.  my system does not show a boot option disable security

  Most HP desktop PC BIOS turn off the graphics card integrated automatically when a video card is installed.

  UEFI PCs are a very different breed. Upgrade one video solution to others which specifies the option HP is quite difficult because of the strict limitations that the BIOS placed on upgrades.

  Yours is a work PC and not a class of consumer product.

  The NVIDIA GeForce GT635 2 GB and AMD Radeon HD8570 are only two video cards eventually sold with the PC model you own. Low profile cards models are likely to be the best way to go.

• For Optiplexes SFF video cards

  Howdy,

  I have a couple of slightly older Optiplexes (740, 755) and several cards from Dell which came with these machines, but they are not much faster than the embedded video and I wish I had a somewhat newer video, something like a HD6450 or something similar.

  Are there new video cards working in these machines?

  TIA

• Need help updating video card!

  Hello

  I bought a HP last year: AMD Athon 64 Quad Core

  8 GB Ram

  ATI Radeon 4200 graphics card

  POWER 250W

  However, the video card works well with some of the new software that we have recently added this season holiday, I'm looking to upgrade the machine. After researching on the forums, it seems that the HD6870 is a solid upgrade at a reasonable price, but PS the250W is a matter of concern.

  My questions are:

  (1) can I buy any power supply (looking Coolmaster 460W PSU)

  (2) with the new power supply, is that all I need to upgrade the video card and

  (3) I just want to confirm that the HD6870 is a compatible video card that will work with my machine and the new PSU

  Thanks in advance.

  Most of the HD 6870 cards I Iooked at having these requirements;

  ■PCI Express® based PC is required with a X 16 channel available on the motherboard graphics slot.
  ■2X75 Watt 6 pin PCI Express power connector is required.
  ■Certified-power supplies are recommended. Please refer to: http://support.amd.com/us/certified/power-supplies/Pages/listing.aspx
  ■500 Watt Power Supply is necessary.

  (1) Yes, you can buy any power supply, but he needs 500 watts or more, and fit into the case without blocking the other components. A few favorites forum are Corsair CX500, or CX600.

  (2) who should be all you need.

  (3) the HD 6870 should work on your system with a new 500 watts or PSU. However, if you provide the model number or product number, we could check the specifications of your computer to better confirm that this is the case.

  Area 51 X 58 replacing the video card

  First time poster here. Forgive me for asking if it's already done, but I have a desktop, Alienware Area-51 X 58 and had some problems graphics is where the computer does not start without a BSOD. I put a temporary card and it starts fine. I know that I need to replace my card, but I don't know what is compatible for my old system. Any recommendations?

• What are my options to upgrade the video card?

  I have a HP OMNI 200-5380qd ALL-IN-ONE

  I5 760 2.80 GHz (quad) CPU

  6 GB OF RAM

  ATI Radeon HD 5570 1 GB

  Windows 7 64 bit

  Essentially, I play Starcraft 2.  For multiplayer I'm late from time to time, and it boots me out.  I thought that my system was adequate and it was a problem with the internet connection.  So I upgraded my modem and service to 50 Mbps and a new modem Arris TG 852.  Well, it seems to do the trick for a day or two without lag.  But his back.

  I have updated all drivers, cleaned up all the disks, defraged possible, I'm not under the substantive programmes, and other than to have a regular shift with this game, my computer works very well.

  My only guess, is that my video card is the issue.  So if anyone has any other suggestions or has one advises on what the video card, I can switch to it would be much appreciated

  Here are the specifications of your HP Omni 200-5380qd desktop and its Quanta ZN2 (Matadi) motherboard. This computer is a laptop more than desktop in the design, therefore the standard of the shelf graphics cards will not work. It requires a Mobile PCI Express Module (MXM 3.0) graphics card... you will need a new HP card source to ensure the best chance a compatibility. Maps in the specifications are optional;

  GeForce G210 (512 MB) / manufacturer 594505-001 HP

  GeForce GT 230 (1 GB) / manufacturer 608545-001 HP

  GeForce GT 425M (1 GB)

  GeForce GT 425M (2 GB)<--->

  MXM 3.0 ATI (1 GB)<--->

  ATI MXM 3.0 (2 GB) / manufacturer 630586-001 HP

  This will be a costly and difficult to achieve upgrade and can not solve your problem. Most of the other posts on this subject, do not recommend.

• Update video card: 630i Desktop - need advice

  I have a Dell XPS 630i Desktop 5 1/2 year, which usually is going very well, with enough power for most of the cases.  Recently implemented a 125 GB SSD as drive operating system.

  Anyway, in these last days, we got some random video artifacts appears sporadically on one or two of my two monitors Viewsonic (DVI for both of the Nvidia 9800GT 512 MB video card).  A small section of the screen will have the weird characters, sometimes a bunch of screen Flash, etc.  And a few times that there was a BSOD crash, with the video driver (nvlddmkm.sys) be responsible.

  I tell myself that there must be a bad video card or driver.  I have updated to the pilot the most recent on the Dell site (R213185, 181.30, Vista 64, A04) and well.  But I have this vague feeling that it is a hardware problem.  If it was a driver problem, why now after all these years, he suddenly would be problems, no recent changes to the system, etc..

  I used the tools of diagnosis from Dell, which has tested the performance of the video card, memory, etc, and no errors were detected, which is encouraging.

  I post here, to seek advice, in which case the video card end up being the problem and need to be replaced.

  1. If I decide to replace it, what are some good recommendations for a new map of video for this system (Core 2 Quad Q6600 2.40 GHz, 6 GB of RAM).  I don't want exaggerated and pay for potential performance of video card I would not be obtained with the old motherboard, CPU, RAM, etc.

  2. the current system is sufficient for most cases, with the main shortcoming being the slow performance when you are working on my of Canon DSLR Raw files in Adobe Camera Raw and Photoshop, watch a HD video from camcorders or other sources, etc.  In this regard, replace the video card would provide a substantial improvement in this type of performance?

  3. I'd rather than replace the entire office by something more recent?

  All thought, popular point of view.

  Don

  Video card drivers can become corrupt and simply uninstall them and their update with a new driver may solve the problem.  It is more likely a hardware problem, a driver problem, even if the 9800 GT is an old map.  If he wasn't pushed hard with the game over the years, then it can last a long time. XPS 630i is a good system and with the Q6600 it is still worthy and can perform very well.  If you were to replace the video card, I'd just get something simple like the GTX 650 HERE, which would exceed the performance of the 9800 GT and not market much.

• Would like a recommendation on a video card and Psu - Hp Pavilion a6827c

  I'm willing to spend about $ 150-200 on a video card and power supply (if I need it). I could get a few recommendations.  Would appreciate any advice!

  RJ, here is a link to the pages "Product card" for your computer:

  http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/documentSubCategory?tmp_rule=16113&tmp_task=prodinfoCategory&LC=en&DLC=en&cc=us&lang=en&product=3942022

  Your power supply unit (PSU) is 300W.  A 400W 600W PSU in would you buy a much better card.

  Here are two links to the PSU that I recommend:

  http://www.Newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=N82E16817139008

  http://www.Newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=N82E16817341001

  I actually had the GXS OCZ 600W.  The Corsair is also highly recommended in the forum.

  Now for a video card.  The location on your motherboard is PCIEX16.  You can use PCIEX6 2.0 as well.  It is backward compatible.  However, you will pay a little more and will not actually benefit from improvements.

  The brands I recommend are XFX, BFG, EVGA, Sapphire, PNY and Diamond, in that order.  I actually have two XFX cards; GeForce 7900GTX 512 MB (do not use) and ATI 4870 XXX 1 GB.

  Here is a link to the Web of Newegg site:

  http://www.Newegg.com/store/subcategory.aspx?subcategory=48&name=desktop-graphics-video-cards

  To the left of the page, there is a list of manufacturers.  By clicking on "More" will extend from the list.  See the section 'Customer reviews' and 'Technical data' to find one that meets your needs.  Then, post the link to the card/s that you like and we'll help you choose a.  It is the best way to learn what you need to know.  Much better that we choose one for you and post the link.

• Desktop HP Pavilion p620y needs of 2560 x 1600 PCIe 2.0 x 16 DisplayPort video card

  Hi all

  I bought a HP Pavilion p6210y PC November 1, 2009;  and also, just bought a new monitor 30 inches of HP ZR30w which displays 2560 x 1600 (4 megapixels). To use it, I have to buy a new video card in 2560 x 1600 PCIe 2.0 x 16 DisplayPort. No problem, there are many like that high-end gaming cards. However, I am not a "Gamer" and do not need the performance beyond its high-end business use, a few Blue-ray movies and occasional sports coverage. This need corresponds to the remaining available power of 300 watts of p6210y power supply.

  I have set up a 'power budget' for the new disks and memory that I bought, which gives me a power rating of base to work since I sail PCIe 2.0 x 16 DisplayPort video cards. However, I was not able to locate an estimate of drain of power for the "configuration of the showroom" Pavilion p6210y PC base that I bought in 2009. Can someone help me find this number, or show me how to estimate it? I need just an approximate number to work with.

  I do not have the number of the power you want, but we have here on the forum use the power required by the manufacturer.  Here is a video card that should work on your computer:

  http://www.Newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=N82E16814130795 & cm_re=evga_gt640-_-14-130-795-_-Product

  However, it requires a power supply (PSU) with 350W.  You can find this information in the specifications tab.

  Many newer cards need UEFI instead of a standard BIOS.  These cards will not work in your computer.  HP didn't start using UEFI until mid-October 2012.
