  Your friend won't. 2.1 is not compatible with certain versions but 3.0 is fully backward compatible. It should work correctly.

• New graphics card.

  I want to buy a new graphics card. But I don't know if my motherboard or power supply could support. If someone could tell me if my computer can support?

  My computer is HP Pavilion a6098d.

  Thank you very much.

  HNH, here is a link to the "Product information" pages for your computer:

  The specs do not show the power of your diet, but from what I have seen that it is very probably 300W.  HP is not known for confusing their computers.  You can upgrade the video card, but it will be necessary to upgrade the PSU, probably also.

  While you're there, if you haven't done so already, upgrade to at least 2 GB of memory would help allocate.

• I think that I need a new graphics card for my Satellite M70 343

  Hello

  I had problems with my laptop. After a start-up time specifications and give a problem with the IALMRNT5 pilot report. The laptop also gives some display problems, after a certain time, then another graphic resolution is displayed.

  I have restored the software but is not a solution and also I downloaded the drivers from the Toshiba Support Site!
  I think the graphics card to give problems.
  Where can I buy the new graphics card?
  Installed: Intel 915GM/GMS, 910MS Express smart card.

  Hello

  It s not possible to exchange the VGA card in your system, since the VGA is soldered on the motherboard (the most important thing of your laptop on which all components are on) and if you have a problem with your graphics card then you should contact a local service partner authorized, due to a hardwarecheckup or a repair of your device.

  To find the closest just check the following link:

• HP a6000 and new graphics card

  Hello

  I have HP computer with nvidia 9500gs graphics card a6542.cs. I want to buy a new graphics card. But I also need a new source (at least 550w). So I want to ask which source of size (mm) what am I looking for? I think of the 550 and many nvidia graphics card more. Could you give me some advice on the graphics card?

  Lubos of Slovaki

  Replacement POWER supply is a must if you want to GF550 or higher. Go at least 500W and make sure it has 6 pins VGA extra power connector. About the VGA card I'd rather go to GF460, which is older and can be less expensive and beats GF550

  NVidia reference card should fit into your chassis, but the size may vary according to the manufacturer.

• $1200 to spend on a new graphics card to change music 4 K videos in first Pro CC2015

  Hi guys,.

  I want to buy a new graphics card for my video clip editing in Adobe first Pro CC 2015 and I was wondering what was the best option with a budget of $ 1200. I was watching the new Quadro M4000. What would you recommend?

  PS. : I have a processor Intel Quad-core i7 (3.4 ghz) PC with 16 GB of Ram and running Windows 7 64 bit.

  Thank you!

  I suggest the GTX 970 for less than $300. Use your savings to double your memory up to 32 GB and for a couple of SSDS. These last two investments will have far more impact on performance than buying a video card more expensive which is exaggerated absolute on your machine.

• Choppy playback, need a new graphics card?

  Hi all

  I am currently using Premiere Pro CS4.

  With my GT8800 Alpha Dog 512 mb graphics card, is it sufficient for video editing?

  When I play the video on the first, it seems very lag and of course, it is not smooth at all.

  I imported the 1920 by 1080 HD format, which is filmed with Canon 5 d.

  I am looking at nvidia GFX480/470 or quadro series. But I don't want that there was capacity for a game too.

  Please advise me.

  Please advise me.

  Using any version of first before CS5, the video card will make little or no difference in the editing experience.  The biggest performance factors will firstly be the CPU and second memory.  Look for before buying a new graphics card.

  Having said that, CS5 is designed with pictures DSLR in mind, wasn't CS4.  Your best bet would be to upgrade first before buying new hardware.

• Pavilion HPE - 533 sc: installed new graphics card. Hard drive stops

  In order to improve my graphics performance for games that I invested in this graphics card:

  NVIDIA gtx 950, links shows the map and specifications:

  I can also clearly see that disk hard fails or starts the Windows 7 Edition operating system home premium.

  I am running Nvidia GT 630, and back on this card machines works well again.

  It just loks like the new graphics card prevents the hard drive to run.

  All attached cables (power cable 6 pin) and locked firmly into the PCI slot.

  Is it possible that the new card draws so much power that it prevents the hard drive of the race?

  When you press ESC, it seems that the hard drive is registered in the Bios.

  This nvidia gtx 950 is better? It seems to be more the size of the one I have - nvidia GT 630. Link shows specifications.

  I'm not familiar with current PC for sale, regarding upgrades.  Since is considered a new HP, try looking at the list of options on the HP website.  Most higher end PC have the options that you choose before buy you, to customize the generation.  Choose a model with options that match your criteria now and notice the upgrade options - write down them - to avoid confusion later.  OR go with a customized version, but this could mean significant spending.  It is the hand off the coast between prebuilts and personalized.

• My new graphics card

  Hello, I recently bought a new graphics card (EVGA GTX 660 SC 2 GB), it was my first time that I ever changed a computer and I had no idea how much research and time that you had to put in to see if your computer is compatible with the graphics card, you buy, then when he arrived I sent it to a store to get mounted and the man who was normal he said that power is not enough to manage the graphics card, so he tried with better food and still there is no possitive results so I was wondering if you could check my pc and see if a 660 GTX would be compatible with my PC Thank YOU! :

  Hmm. Looks like I won't get that. It's just another card that I purchase and its more expensive than the 960 gtx that I just bought.

  Thanks for the help.

  Don't, don't. It will be brick. They are also 2 completely different mobos. One choice is to buy a new motherboard or a new pc.

• Computer does not start after installing a new graphics card

  I am owner of a HP Pavilion H8-1020 with a processor intel i7 - 2600 s Windows 7 and am trying to upgrade my Radeon hd 6570 to a Gigabyte AMD Radeon R9 280 OC. I improved my diet for a Corsair CX750 to meet the requirements of power and installed with number. After the installation of the new card, which as far as I can tell is well seated in the pci slot and correctly connected to the PSU, my computer does not start.

  System powers on, all fans of begin to run including the fans on the new graphics card, but it does not begin the boot process, no entry is received at my monitors, no light on the keyboard, my OS starts loading, I can turn off the system without the delay that will flow normally. Then I reinstalled my old graphics card and the computer started as usual.

  Now, assuming that the card is not DOA, which unfourtunatly I have no way to verify, and I'd like to see if it could be another problem before going through the process of restitution. I did some reading on the internet, which helped, but did not help for a technological neophyte like me.  Now, I know a few things that could cause this problem but lack the necessary skills to determine what question is making me. What I've read, these could be possible questions:

  1: my new graphics card is not compatible with my motherboard. It's something I know now that I should have checked before buying and something I should theoretically be able to do it now, but I am at a loss on how to do it. My card is compatible with my motherboard?

  2 could be a BIOS problem. I updated my bios driver with the version provided by the HP site. I am running FRIEND 7.16 05/10/2011.  And from what I've read it might have something to do with my bios to UEFI mode and I would need to go to a legacy mode so he can recognize a new device, is it true? I am extremely wary of messing with my BIOS settings for fear of bricking my system. How can I check my current BIOS settings are and what I should change and how would approach I change them? Will one of these changes affect my system if they are not what is not causing the problem?

  In addition to these issues, anyone know any other matter which may be the cause of the problem that I should look for? Thanks for any help.

  Hello @Eric_Z,

  I can see why you are having problems with your new graphics card, and to get to the fast response that your motherboard is not compatible with the new graphics card that you have purchased. And here's why.

  Your motherboard according to the page HP Pavilion HPE h8-1020 Desktop PC product specifications is the Carmel motherboard, which has the following expansion slots:

  • A PCI Express x 16
  • Three PCI Express x 1 connectors
  • A PCI Express Mini Card x 1

  As there is no version indicated for your PCI Express x 16 it slot means that it is version 1.

  Now, your previous graphics card was a PCI Express 2.1 x 16, which means that it was version 2 and compatible with your PCI Express x 16 slot on your motherboard. However, the new card is PCI Express 3.0 and will not work in your motherboard due to a compatibility break. While the technology is supposed to be compatible there are many cases where it is not, and I'm afraid that you meet one of these cases.

  I am offering an overclock.net article entitled: the final answer to the controversial compatibility of PCIe x 16 version. where your situation has been tested and examined.

  I hope this helps. Have a great day and thank you for display on the HP Forums!

• HP Pavilion HPE h8-1205eo: should I buy a new wlan card?

  I think that my Hp Pavilion HPE h8 - 1205eo:s wireless network card is broken. I can connect cable trought and everything, but he can't find any network without cable. I think I need a new card. I have a question before I go to things, might like wireless usb adapter work? Or do I have to buy a new card wlan? It would cost a lot less here where I live if I could buy a usb adapter... Thanks in advance.

  Good then the problem was with my wireless card, or should I say it was my fault. When I put on my new graphics card I accidentally pulled out the antennawire of my wireless network card. And now I feel very stupid but yes problem solved and all is good and working.

• How to install the new graphics card due to the absence of HDMI Port

  I have an old laptop, and I want to connect it to my HD TV. Problem with that is that I don't have an HDMI Port. I noticed on a similar question that you responded that it might be useful to consider the insertion of a new graphics card. As I have never opened a laptop before, I was wondering if it is fairly simple to do this, (as anyone who could do it) or if I'd rather pay someone to do it?

  You can use something like this:

  http://Aluratek.com/USB-to-HDMI-1080p-adapter-with-audio

  or Google "USB to HDMI" of many other and different price ranges. Don't forget to look at the comments of consumers before buying something like this. They all promise of greatness, but I'm sure few deliver.

• New graphics card, the warranty?

  Hello

  I think to install a new graphics card on my G5350UK Office,

  I want to buy this one

  http://www.Amazon.co.UK/VTX3D-Radeon-graphics-profile-bracket/DP/B0042UK9Q4/ref=sr_1_3?s=computers&i...

  But I don't know if it my warranty will be cancelled.

  Any help would be greatly aprecciated

  Thank you

  It is still under warranty, I got it earlier this year.

  Upgrades the easy PSU?

  And upgrading the PSU does affect my warranty?

  Thanks for your response

  As long as the new parts cause damage to all HP stock products, should not void the warranty. You can get a definitive answer on that of HP.

  The upgrade of the PSU is pretty simple. On most of the better manufacturers Web sites and on YouTube there are videos that will show how it's done. All that is necessary in terms of tools is a #2 screwdriver. I really can't say if it will be easy for you to do or not.  I was dismantling and reassembling of various things for very long.

• New graphics card for Alienware X 51

  I want to buy my son a new graphics card for its Alienware X 51, purchased in 2013. The vehicle currently has a Nvidia GT 640, which apparently is not fast enough for new games there.

  After reading this topic I think of two cards, I found on Amazon UK:

  PNY Nvidia GeForce GTX Graphics Card 960 1127 MHz 2 GB PCI Express

  EVGA 2 GB Nvidia GeForce GTX Superclocked GDDR5 graphics card 960.

  This is the right type of card? And who would be best?

  Power is currently an adapter 240W. Is it necessary to buy a one 330W and must be of (very expensive) Dell, or could I get away with some of the cheapest on Amazon?

  Would appreciate some advice please - I can't be wrong!

  9 ½ "card reference only.

  Best price card / Best: PNY GeForce GTX 960 4 GB VCGGTX9604XPB

  Yes, the Amazon 330 watts power for sale here is the same as my X 51 Psalm 330w
