Graphics upgrade questions

Hello

I have a pc Hp series p6787c, with Windows 7 64 bit. I am working with two monitors 23 inch LED.  I wanted to update my graphics card in the standard HD 6450to something more advanced.

I did some research and I like the graphics card XFX Radeon HD 6850. I realize that I need to improve my diet as well since my PSU stock is only 250 w.

I was wondering what power supply would be ideal for this card? It requires approximately 550 watts for the card itself.  Also the card Radeon held in my lap? The Chipset my Mobo is 785g which I believe is delivered with CrossFire-X which is something I need to consider? Any help would be great, I've never installed a graphics card on a PC.

Thank you

Mmonitto, welcome to the forum.

Here is a card that should work in the computer.  It is 8,66 "in length.  Other cards are 9.25 "length.  They are perhaps a bit too long.

I like Corsair and OCZ power supply units (PSU).  Manufacturers that make good, reasonable price, the products are.  I suggest to measure the PSU existing and comparing measures to whichever you choose.

The motherboard is not compatible Crossfire-X according to the specifications of the motherboard.  Crossfire requires two PCI Express x 16 slots.  It allows the use of two graphics cards simultaneously.  You can refer to the diagram of the motherboard to see that it has only one PCI Express x 16 slot.

  • 7387A 11... Graphics upgrade?

    I'm new to this forum and here on behalf of my sister-in-law. After having spotted the different themes of the forum and paid in various manuals, I thought I would try this approach. I found Lenovo guides to be too generic. Our quest is to upgrade the graphics on its system, because children have some problems trying to play various games. If I missed the final I apologize in advance.

    Its model number (as she gave it to me) is A 7387, 11. If I understand the Lenovo Web site it's a 3000 J115. Operating system is Vista. The obvious question is: graphics are upgradable on this system? The manual seems to suggest the presence of a PCIe x 16 location. (I have currently no direct access to the machine to confirm this.) A further review of the manual really does not reveal much information about the various parameters of the bios on turn off on-board graphics. In fact, I can locate no direct mention of a graphic upgrade procedure, which should really be front-and-Center. So, until I get my hands on this and so I have no surprises when I, can someone enlighten me on these 2 specific points? I will also be getting the memory but not much of a cause for concern.

    Thank you.

    Well, I'll answer myself. Problem has been resolved.

    The map that I chose to install required a 300W PS, installed 380W. As Lenovo has been totally absent in the BIOS information I've fumbled through it. Put the video to PEG (PCI EXPRESS GRAPHICS... and no explanation in one of the documents from Lenovo). Also from memory and installed 2 GB. Fact.

  • Pavilion t441.uk, graphic upgrade

    Is it possible to update the graphics on the t441.uk.  You want to play FM 2011 and it is so slow. I've already updated the Ram. But I don't understand how the graphics upgrade works.

    My norton 360 says my computer is the RADEON 9200 128 MB video card, it says I have a secondary school the same as well.

    Hello Rascal, apparently, your system may be a little old to run any recent video games.

    Here a link to the plug on the motherboard, and it shows the system comes with 512 MB of system memory and a maximum of 1 GB of system memory.

    It also has a video feature embedded VIA with 64 MB of video card memory. It has a slot machine video AGP.

    Carpet is it possible to upgrade the video card AGP, but I doubt you'd see much improved performance.

    Just some thoughts.

  • I have an upgrade question. I received a notification when I connected my computer to the internet that Lightroom 5.7.1 was available

    I have an upgrade question. I received a notification when I connected my computer to the internet that Lightroom 5.7.1 was available had merge to HDR & Panoramic photos. I can't find these. Where can I find them.

    It is unfortunate that Adobe has chosen to use the "update" in the notice inside LR 5. It is not an "update". It is an 'upgrade '. Thus, you pay if you want. Also as usual, Adobe directs clients to the CC solution and makes it hard to find perpetual license option.

  • Satellite A300: upgrading the graphics card question

    HI :)

    I am a new user of portable computers...
    Like nvidia geforce graphics cards can be installed in my Sat A300? extent to which max mem I can install?

    No, the graphics card can not be upgraded.
    In most cases (with the exception of the MXM module) the GPU is soldered on the motherboard and I don t think you could remove it.
    But even if you were able to remove the chip, you won't find any GPU that would be compatible with laptops card mother and BIOS.

    So in my opinion don't forget this upgrade

  • Upgrade graphics card question

    Hello

    A question concerning an update of video card I have try. My system is a p7-1205 Pavilion, and I'm as Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit. I'll upgrade my video editing software for Sony Vegas Pro 11, and I need to install a new video card to make it work. On a budget, will bare bones meet the requirements of Vegas and will receive this card; HP NVIDIA Quadro 600 WS093AT. Went not 3D, so I should be ok.

    However, on the page requirements, he said I should be Windows 7 Pro 64 bit. Think you I'm having trouble getting it running on my OS or do I have to upgrade it as well?

    Hello

    Review the information on thislink.  Are taken in charge of 32-bit and 64-bit drivers.

    Look at this graph Quadro.  You could probably go upwards to the Quadro 2000 without upgrading of food according to your budget.  Sony Vegas Pro 11 data sheet indicates a Quadro 600 or higher.

  • Y410p Graphics Card upgrade Question

    Last December, I bought a y410p and I am extremely satisfied with it, but I would like to ask in an another GT 755 m graphics card into the ultrabay slot, but I've been able to find a removable graphics for the y510p card. I was wondering if anyone knows if and when the y410p version will be released, or if there is no alternative. As if put the graphics y510p card in my y410p made / work or any other alternative. Thank you in advance.

    Y410p is not made to accommodate a second card of GT755M.

    Although there was some mods which people have implemented to adapt to a card in the Ultrabay slot. The mod includes changing the case of card GT755M to insert into the slot.

  • H8 - 1012c: h8 - 1012c Graphics Card upgrade Question

    I recently bought an EVGA 750 TI and discovered that HP brings more updates BIOS who makes it impossible for the operation of a multitude of cards.

    I was going through the forums and saw that the MSI GTX 750 TI has a VBIOS compatibility mode that could work with the old BIOS on the old cards.

    My question is, this card will be compatible with my system, or BIOS is just too old for the 700 series?

    Hello

    Look at the names of the models as there are has variations that appear to be identical.  Cards that I've referenced have 'TF' in the model name.  Follow the links to NewEgg.

    Hello

    To be honest, you are very limited if it comes to upgrade the hardware of s for laptop.
    You have already upgraded the RAM. That s OK.

    You could also switch from the HDD to the SSD. This performance of the laptop from the read and write process would be much faster. Also the laptop would be faster start and would go a lot smoother.

    But to be honest, for purposes of such game pass isn't very useful.

    To get better game performance, you need a better graphics card, but the fact is that the GPU upgrade isn't possible.

  • Graphics upgrade of Office CQ5624P and power supply

    My PC is... Compaq PC desktop Presario CQ5624P w / graphics using nVidia GeForce 6150SE integrated & Internal 250W (100V-240V) total power: 250 w, power supply: •100-127V/8 has •200-240 v/4.

    PROBLEM: I would like to upgrade my graphics
    (but... * embedded video is not available if a graphics card is installed.) Also one but... NOTE: * built into the graphics card or the card PCI Express x 16 slot are usable at once; they are not usable at the same time.)

    Question: I will lose all functions of e/s (VGA, USB ports, ethernet port, input audio & outputs) on the graphics card integrated if I update to an EVGA GT619?

    Regarding the power supply: what are the specifications for a better diet which is virtually "plug-and - go" compatible with the Office of CQ5624P? " (between 400W to 500W).

    I'm not a great player, I'm looking for a way to use a 50 "flat screen and my pc monitor at base of household use, movies and low end games... Help appreciated... Thank you.

    Hello again FLknights,

    I can't make a recommendation, but I can give you some information. First of all, the graphics card you are looking at is a PCI Express 2.0 x 16, and who can worry because you do not have a PCI Express 2.0 x 16 slot on your Board. If you are concerned don't be there is no difference that he connects on your Board, so it should work fine.

    Looking at the two UCP will work and both leave you with room for growth if you decide to go this route. You certainly need to change the power supply though as the 250 watt installed is not sufficient for the needs of new cards 300watts.

    In addition, the graphics card supports the operating system of Windows XP to Windows 8. For me, it would mean that you should also make sure that when you go to turn off the chart embedded in the BIOS you also enable Legacy Support or material according to what you see.

    I hope this helps. Thanks again for your post on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

  • Processor upgrade questions

    Hi all.

    (For a year or two), I have the HP Pavilion p7-1235 with is provided with processor A8-5500 and 7560 integrated graphics. I intend to add a discrete GPU to 7750 and a 500 Watt power supply. I use this desktop computer for everyday tasks, surf the web, etc. But I also play casual games on Steam. I also have the Sims 3 (base game) is installed.  The last time I played this game, fifiteen minutes at the level of the fan (I guess CPU) kicking on.  It also happened when I tried Roller Coaster Tycoon 3.

    Now I don't know if it of because the cpu is dusty or cannot handle these 2 games. According to the technical specifications of HP, I know I can upgrade the processor to an A10-5700 or A10 - 5800 k? It would give me better performance game-wise? Or just do the upgrade to graphical power and power would be sufficient? Also, when a processor upgrade, would I have to mess with the BIOS?

    http://h20565.www2.HP.com/portal/site/hpsc/template.page/public/KB/docDisplay/?sp4ts.Oid=5187022&SPF...

    Set to upgrade to an A10-5700 will provide that almost no improvement in the CPU of the tasks not related. Upgrading an A10 - 5800K provide a 5% improvement in CPU related tasks. Your best bet is too make sure all dirt and dust is collected inside the case, fans and heat sinks. Then install the GPU and PSU upgrades and monitor your computer for the fan kicks at the top. With the GPU load moved to the discreet graphics card, the APU (UC) should be less stressed.

  • HP Envy Phoenix h9-1355: map graphic upgrade in HP Envy Phoenix h9-1355 [7770 Radeon Radeon R9 series)

    Hello!

    I have a HP Envy Phoenix h9-1355 with graphics of AMD Radeon HD 7770.

    I want to upgrade my graphics card a Radeon HD 7770 to a series of Radeon R9 390 - preference. I want to do this especially because I want to connect multiple computers on struggling Display Port (DP) and my current Radeon HD 7770 card has only one exit of DP.

    I have a few questions:

    1 can I switch to the R9 series and he'll be back in this Office Tower?

    2. is it easy or difficult to unattach the old card and set a new? Requires an expert and if someone competent enough can handle this task?

    Thank you!!

    P.S. is there something else that should I worry about (e.g. from unexpected side effects) to make this update?

    Hello

    I'm confused about your statement to "'connect multiple computers ' to display ports."  Did you mean to say you want to connect several monitors via the ports of the display on your computer?  I think that's what you hear.

    The ASUS TURBO GXE 960 is a nice graphics card. I like the provisioning of multiple DP.  The ASUS card should work in your PC.   If you plan to run a large number of monitors high resolution then you should consider a graphics card that has a larger memory.  The tests that I reviewed during the execution of the 4K displays with modern games isn't all that favorable with mid-range graphics cards.

  • Veriton M6620G Quadro graphics upgrade

    Hi all

    I have 6 Veriton M6620G i7 machines in my office serving CAD workstations, currently using the integrated graphics card H4000.

    I bought cards Nvidia QUADRO K600 to improve performance in 3D but I can't machines accept cards of the modeling.

    After editing the K600 and turning the power on, the machine returns 5 rapid beeps then 1 beep a tone more high, synonymous with the tone of MESSAGE standard. About 20-30 seconds later, another MESSAGE beep occurs however nothing happens.

    On the screen, it displays the option to access BIOS however, there is no response after selecting the DELETE key (or another key). Have tried different configs in BIOS, TPM, off etc. Nothing has changed. The mother Board has 2 slots and the result is the same for both.

    I read a post in this group about the re-activation of the integrated graphic card where a K400 had been installed at the factory and responses indicated the BIOS being locked (to be built), so the graphiocs aboard would be left disabled.

    My question is... Is this likely to my desktop as well? As in, due to the K600 is not part of the original construction, the option for any upgrade has been deleted?

    I welcome your experienced comments.

    Kind regards

    Damien.

    Problem solved. Need a BIOS update.
