Can I damage my graphics card by connecting my laptop to my tv via hdmi.

Hi, I was shopping at Best Buy and I heard someone saying that I could damage my graphics card by connecting my pc to my TV via HDMI. This is a not seem OK for me but thought I would check doube. I have a dv6-3225dx Pavilion Entertainment PC. I have windows 7 64 bit. Thank you very much

Hello:

I've never heard of such a claim.

People connect external monitors and TV on their laptops all the time, that's why they are equipped with video/HDMI ports.

Probably, there is a higher risk of damage/overheating to the graphics card for games graphics intensive video then they streaming video to an external monitor/TV.

I would not be concerned.

    Hello:

    There is no graphics "card" in your notebook that can be removed and replaced, as they can in many Office PC.

    The graphics card in your laptop is part of the motherboard, and to improve the graphics, the entire motherboard must be replaced by another which is listed in the service manual for your laptop that can have better graphics.

    So I have a HP Compaq 8200 Elite Small Form Factor and I was wondering if you can add a dedicated graphics card. If so, what are compatible?

The only thing that was really bugging me bad, it's that "can upgrade you the graphics card in this machine? Since I am on the Hardcore Gaming and school.

    He may have a problem, as indicated in the specifications is has the Intel UMA video that would be the worst choice of graphics of today, you can get to the game.

    When you use a laptop for games, you always want to get a discrete graphics solution that uses its own memory first before using system memory.

    You just have to try and see what happens.
