can I update my laptop graphics card

Hi I was just wondering if it is possible for me to update my laptop computer graphics card, like the one I have is an integrated intel hd and it's simply not enough good for games, I want to play

The laptop I have is hp Pavilion g6 and the model number is LS294EA #ABU with an i3m70 core of intel clocked at 2.4 GHz because I don't want to buy a completely new laptop, but if it comes to that I might have to

Hello

Basically, you can, with a cost, and I think that this cost can be more expensive than buying a new computer because you have to take into account:

  • New price of the card, and WHERE you can buy it because the laptop cards are not the same office maps. You can't buy any normal store,
  • Need new card system (can be),
  • Need new system of cooling because in general more powerful card pumps out more heat (you want more powerful card don't you?).
  • May need new power supply because your current diet is not suitbale for the card. (I ordered a machine with the Nvidia card and I need to order a 90W charger at the same time, not the normal charger 65W. They rejected just my order.)
  • Cost of the work.
  • Packages a lot, a lot of aspirin.

I hope this helps.

  • HP 15-n225TU: I can update my laptop graphics card?

    2: the game experience will improve if I upgrade the RAM?

    Thank you

    Not a lot of good news.

    1 n ° there is no 'card '. The video is a chip that is soldered to the motherboard. There is no physical means to remove it and put something in there. Theoretically there are mothers who would suit your laptop with slightly better graphics, but generally of such a motherboard swap is prohibitively expensive and it is not good value for money. The graphics are still not really good, just a little better.

    2. in function. If the system is muted memory then Yes, adding more memory will help games and everything. 8 GB is the sweet spot these days, and you have 4. Adding a second 4 GB module would allow the memory dual channel which is maybe 10-15% faster in memory operations.  But do not expect any major improvement. This will be a very subtle improvement in how the game is loading, but the pace of game will not really change.

  • A50-109: can I change my laptop graphics card?

    Hello
    Can I change my graphic card(A50-109) of the laptop?

    Please help me

    Hello

    I don't think that it is possible to change the graphics card in your laptop because it is specifically designed for your model rather than a generic type that is used in a desktop PC.

    However, it should be possible to change the assignment of the RAM up to a maximum of 64 Mb. check in the view "Advanced" available from the control panel settings, or you can also check in your BIOS to a UMA value (16 MB, 32 MB and 64 MB should be supported).

  • Pavilion g6 2230tx: can I update my driver graphic card and RAM

    I had HP g6 2230tx with dedicated 4 GB of ram and raedon graphics card... I want to know if I can update my graphics card with nvidia cards... And if yes what cards are compatible with my camera... And if I can improve my 8 GB RAM...
    I aould want also know is what are the raedon cards and nvidia would be compatible with 8 GB RAM or RAM have nothing to do with the graphics please help...

    Upgrading the video card is a non-starter. The video chip is soldered to the motherboard and not something that can be removed and replaced.

    Here is the Service Manual:

    Manual

    See p. 47

    For 8 GB, the max you need 2 of them:

    4 GB (PC3 12800, 1600 MHz) 641369-001

    http://www.Amazon.com/HP-641369-001-1600Mhz-PC3-12800-memory/DP/B008L325TW/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&QID=1461333553&SR=8-2&keywords=641369-001

    More memory will help the video a bit. Not a lot. You say you have 4 gigs which is not bad, so an upgrade to 8 will do any type of work only a little better and video games a little bit better. Don't expect significant increase in the frequency of images of the games, for example.

  • can I update my lapyop graphics card?

    My laptop can't run most of the high-end even games at medium settings so I was wondering if I could solve this problem by opting for a better graphics card.

    Hello:

    Notebooks have the video solution that is soldered to the motherboard. It is not a card as you can install it in an office.

    You are in the upper part of the mark for your laptop model. I don't see even a motherboard with better graphics than what you already have.

    Needless to say, it would cost hundreds of dollars for a new motherboard (if it with better graphics), thus making it economically unwise to upgrade from a point of view cost vs. benefits.

    Better to sell or Exchange your and get one with the video solution you're looking for.

  • update errors, nvidia graphics card.

    Hello, I have a problem that I can not update my nvidia graphics card, I saw a post here and tried to re install but it says "graphics card cannot find compatible graphics hardware" and if I try to open the nvidia Control Panel it says "a NVIDIA graphics card has not detected in your system". In Device Manager it shows GT 630 M and 650 M, tried to download two nvidia drivers, but still get this error message.

    PS my cell phone is samsung NP550P5C-A02UK and I tried to download the drivers from the Samsung support for my laptop Web site still nothing.

    Hello

    Thanks for the reply and sorry for the inconvenience caused.

    After looking at the error code, we can get to two conclusions:

    • Graphics card problem.
    • The problem with the graphics drivers.

    I suggest to uninstall the current drivers from Device Manager first, learn more about how to remove devices from Device Manager please visit the link below:

    Once the device is uninstalled, restart the computer.

    Windows will load the base drivers and check if it helps.

  • Can I get a better graphics card for my laptop?

    Hi, my name is Mitchell and everything a few years ago, I had a laptop computer Hp Pavilion G6.  I use my laptop computer mainly for homework, but now ive started playing games on it and ive noticed that I can play games because the graphics card is not the best.  Instead of making a new pc game, I wanted to just update the graphics card on this subject?  I'm able to buy a graphics card for this and it installed?

    Hello

    What is your G6? G6 is a series of many portable models and normally we cannot upgrade the video card on 99.5% of them. Not only G6, other series laptops from HP and other vendors as well. We can only upgrade video card on some REAL games and machines of class work station.

  • Satellite C660 - update Intel HD graphics card problem

    Hello

    Sorry for my level of English, I'm French

    I have a problem without a solution with my Satellite C660 (for the moment, I hope!) I downloaded the software google sketchup 8, dedicated to the development of architecture, but it does not work, I still got a bug message advising that it is necessary to update the graphics card drivers (according to google support it seems that OPENGL functions must be implemented in the drivers of my laptop)

    So I downloaded the latest drivers available for the configuration I have (Intel HD graphics for pentium, 64-bit windows 7).

    the link (french site, that Intel is not currently available, it is a document of .exe)

    http://www.Touslesdrivers.com/php/Constructeurs/TELECHARGEMENT.php?v_code=37057&v_langue=FR

    I tried to update manually driver graphics card with Device Manager menu (graphics card > update drivers button > file.exe manual selection), but in the end, there is no update, I did that a very small message advising that windows has determined that the pilots are already updated.

    In fact there is no change on the drivers (always the same date of the 2010-07-28 drivers in the properties of the graphics card) and sketchup is still unemployed

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks in advance

    Hello

    What C660-xxx you have exactly?

    If you have an Intel graphics card, you must download the driver directly on the Intel site.
    There you should find the last version of driver

  • [p7-1240] How can I find out what graphics cards will work with my motherboard?

    I recently went through the nightmare of trying to install a Gigabyte GTX 650 in my PC. After a few days of struggle and scouring the internet for answers, I discovered that it is not compatible with the BIOS on my motherboard, and HP does not update the BIOS. I returned the card and is now seeking a new, but I'm not sure what card works now, since my computer meet the requirements of system for the graphics card and it stil ldid does not work. Because the GPU manufacturers do not list the specifications of the BIOS under system requirements, how can I know if a graphics card will work with my system?

    My computer is a p7-1240 with a 520W PSU upgrade and approximeately 11 "of space to install the card.

    Thexn, welcome to the forum.

    The problem is a lot of video cards latest require the computer to have a complete UEFI BIOS.  HP began using one in mid-October 2012.  Before that date, the BIOS is the legacy.  This is why the video card does not work with your computer.

    I don't know what you would spend on a card, but MSI is a GTX 750ti which is a VBIOS hybrid.  It has a switch to change to inheritance or UEFI.  Is there a video link directly below the image of a card.  Paul of Newegg gives a complete description of the map.

    I like the best EVGA cards.  Their Support gave me a lot of information on their cards.  However, you will need to return to a GT 640 map to find one of their cards that does not require the UEFI BIOS.  They have a few updates for their BIOS' are which solves the problem, but we must call them for accurate maps.

  • Satellite Pro L10: where can I get a better graphics card

    Hey

    I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro L10 and I was wondering if and where can I get a better graphics card for it?

    Thank you very much

    Sorry Michael, but it has nothing to do because the graphics card can not be upgraded. Unfortunately the L10's small budget machine, and because of this, there is no better card inside.

    Good bye
