Can I upgrade the graphics of my HP Pavilion dv4-2045dx?

Operating system: Windows 7 32 bit

The product name and number of HP Pavilion dv2-2045dx

First of all, a note on my computer: I recentley reformatted it.

My problem:

My laptop Pavilion dv4 2045dx cannot play Diablo 3. I've waited nine years for this game to come out. Buying a new computer to play D3 is not economically feasible.

So my question is, should I upgrade graphics card in my computer? If so, can I buy the graphics card and pay a professional to install it? I never tried to upgrade a laptop before.

Here are some notes more:

DIABLO 3 MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS

NVIDIA® GeForce® 7800 GT or ATI Radeon™ X 1950 Pro or better

Intel® Pentium D 2.8 GHz or AMD Athlon™ 64 X 2 4400 +

SPECIFICATIONS OF MY LAPTOP

ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4200 Series

AMD Turion II dual-core Mobile M500 2.2 GHz


All the advice, guys? I would gladly get a high-end Radeon card if recommend you any to me or something.

You are the very welcome.

Sorry I couldn't bring you good news.

    Hello

    Here are the specs of your machine:

    http://bizsupport1.Austin.HP.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/document.jsp?objectID=c02033074 & lang = to & CC = US & TaskID = 101 & prodSeriesId = 4074269 & prodTypeId = 321957

    He uses: Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 4500 M, which is soldred to the motherboard so practically you can not change because you have to change the motherboard, to buy the new video card, to change the cooling system... all adding up will cost more than a new machine.

    Hello:

    Graphics cards cannot be updated simply.

    You will need to replace the motherboard with another which would have better graphics (if available for your model).

    This would cost as much buying a new laptop, so it is probably not a good idea to undertake such a venture.

  • Upgrading the graphics card on my pavilion

    want to upgrade the graphics card to my PC in order to improve the gaming experience to this topic, the absence of a powerful video card is the only thing preventing my games works fine, so I was thinking about upgrading to a 2 GB card, but I don't know if my PC would actually support it or if I could install it at all. Could someone here tell me if I could install this material? Thank you

    Graphics card: here

    Hello

    The NVIDIAGTX 650or the NVIDIA GTX 660would be a good choice.  I'd go with the GTX 660 if you want to run at resolutions higher than with the ultra game settings.    The Corsair CX 500 or CX600 would be good choice for a replacement power supply.

    The 6 GB of memory in your PC is a little low by RUST, but I would give it a go with the updates above before increasing the memory of your system.

    Hello

    Unfortunately, NO, since the graphics chip is welded (wired) on the motherboard. To play games, you can buy another machine with a better graphics card (Geforce 8700 M GT is very good).

    Sorry mate, but theres no chance of getting the best performance from your machine about games.

  • Can I upgrade the graphics card on the HP Pavilion 1b50us g6?

    If it is possible to update the graphics card, which would be recommended to upgrade, I spend most of my time on this laptop computer game and it is a bit slow, I already updated the RAM 8 GB. If it is not possible to update the graphics card, which computer would be recommended for games?

    Hello:

    I don't know much about laptops of games. I just use to read email and surf the web.

    Yours came with a dedicated video card so it was the best you could do at the time.

    You'll definitely want to buy another laptop with separate video and system not shared video memory (UMA).

    I think that there is a way to transfer your own settings from one PC to another, but I've never done that before, so unfortunately, I can't help you there either.

  • Can I upgrade the graphics card on a HP G72-b66us laptop?

    I need to know whether or not the graphics card on which above mentioned laptop can be improved.  I need more graphics power!

    Hello

    It is not really possible to update the graphics card that the component is actually welded to the motherboard.  Even if you could find someone with the necessary skills to be able to do so, the bios has a "whitelist" of allowed devices and almost certainly would refuse to start on the detection of a device not rated.

  • How can I upgrade the graphics on a firebird 802?

    HP Firebird Voodoo DNA 802 product # GM339AAR #ABA S.N. {removed privacy}

    Graphics card: Nvidia NForce 760I SLI. Drivers latest have been installed

    I'd like to update the graphics but don't know how. NoPCI slots.

    Shortly after the release of the Version of the driver GeForce 266.58 WHQL GPU Nvidia GeForce 9800 S removed from the NVDISP. File INF Display Information included with the newer driver installation programs. It is possible to change the NVDISP. INF file to include the GeForce 9800 S GPU and install the latest drivers but the Nvidia Control Panel is missing a few pages. I hope Nvidia will fix this later.

    I used the following three files from the site Web NVIDIA under Windows 7 64-bit and Vista 64-bit. From my experience, they are more good, more complete and up-to-date files that install properly on my two Firebirds.

  • Can I upgrade the graphics card on my ENVY 15 t-j100 Quad Edition

    It was made with the core i7 and HD graphics card processor intel 4600 treated 12 GB of ram? Listed HP that it may have been created with the NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 740 M with 2048 MB of video memory dedicated. I love him but he received as a gift and need better graphics capabilities for editing movies. I'd get this installed if I could.

    You should probably pay more to improve the graphics as it would be to buy a new laptop with the graphics of 740M as the only way to replace the motherboard to update the video together.

  • can I upgrade the graphics card on a hp pavilion g7-1261nr?

    Is it possible to update the graphics card on my laptop HP Pavilion G7-1261nr to something more appropriate for the game? I would like to be able to play games such as Diablo III, etc., and my graphics card seems to be the only thing holding me such games running.

    Hello

    Probably we will not be able to update of video cards up to 99% of laptops. There are a few things that make this work very hard or unprofitable:

    Need new motherboard, new cooling system and a few other things. Short answer: sell your current computer and buy a new game machine.

    Kind regards.

  • Can I upgrade the graphics card on a Macbook Pro in 2011 to be able to use Adobe Creative cloud?

    I'm not a designer. I just want to use Indesign and photoshop for basic provisions / the strange brochure.

    I got an error message when I download Photoshop yesterday after that I subscribed to the cloud app all. Saying «PHOTOSHOP has IDENTIFIED a PROBLEM WITH THE DISPLAY DRIVER...» AND PROPOSES IMPROVEMENTS TEMPORARILY DISABLED USING THE GRAPHIC MATERIAL.

    I looked online and called the line of Adobe tips - United Kingdom: 0207 365 0735. A woman in Photoshop tech told me to uncheck 'Use the graphics processor' in preferences / performance saying I wouldn't have access to 3D in photoshop (not a problem).

    Drinking, that she didn't know if it would affect indesign or one of the other applications too? She also advised me to update my graphics card. But when I told him I didn't know if I COULD on an OLD Macbook Pro 2011 that she was unable to answer. Similarly when I contacted the chat for cancellations the woman there are no. ADVICE to OFFER. She did however try and sell me an extra free month IF I Cancel. Not very smart if it does not WORK

    God, I despair of the customer service.

    I have OSX 10.9.8, 4 MB of memory, graphics AMD Radeon HD 6750 M 1024 MB so this helps.

    Thanks in advance, Kay
