  If it is a laptop, you cannot change the video card. Only thing you can do is to
  of course, you have the most recent drivers. Laptops almost always have a built-in video device
  that is wired in and cannot be deleted.

• 23 envy d027c All In One with the card mother Lavaca3-SB IPISB - NK. How to upgrade the video card?

  I have a HP Envy 23 d027c All In One with the card mother Lavaca3-SB (pegatron) IPISB-NK.  It has a PCI slot available for upgrade of the video.  I want to do this.  I intend to use the pc for video processing and maybe a few games.

  How to pass the video?

  What cards are best for this system?

  What has changed in the BIOS or other settings I should do?  How can I get them?

  Thank you

  The PCIe MXM slot is for HP install graphics cards in some models CTO (configure-to-order). Without the card installed when you purchased the computer, there the fan and radiator bad sets. You will need to buy a graphics card and the heatsink / fan of HP to try to upgrade the GPU in your computer. There is an extensive disassembly involved in this procedure. All-in-One computers have much more in common with laptops than they do with traditional desktop computers.

  Honestly, if you want to do video processing and games... you should get a traditional desktop with enough CPU and GPU for these activities.

• Question regarding upgrading my video card

  I have a PC HP Media Center m7674n that I bought in 2006. At the time, I upgraded the system to run with an HD ATI X 1950 Pro Video card (I think that a bigger power supply has been added).

  I still love the computer; However, I want to upgrade the video card of a new product from ATI.

  I love the new ATI, in particular ATI HD 5000 series but I'm not sure on how to proceed in accordance

  what might be the needs.

  Thank you.

  Unplug your computer and open it. Clean any dust using a can of compressed air.   Please keep in mind that your PC has good airflow through the air intake and exhaust.  Make sure that all fans of spin. You may run a heat problem.  Remember that you have the latest version of ATI video card driver.

  PC gaming is usually higher end models depending on how intense the game uses the material.  You have an older model of PC, so I have a new one for the game is not too far from the line.  If you go with a new PC then buy one with the largest video card, you can get.  Software game usually specifies the minimum requirements for the OK performance, assuming that no other software is loaded and executed (not the real world).

  A new video card and 2 GB of that memory can rise to $200 - $ 250.

• Upgrade the video card in Pavilion HPE 380t

  Hello

  I want to upgrade the video card in my HPE 380 t, currently it has geforce gtx 260, I want to install a geforce gtx 560 ti or 570.

  I have 2 problems with the viability of this. 1. space. and 2. Food. Has anyone successfully completed a similar upgrade on this system?

  Plug current sys is the following.

  • Intel Core i7 - 930 quad-core [2.8 GHz, 1 MB L2 + 8 MB of cache N3 shared]
  • 12GB DDR3 - 1066 MHz SDRAM [6 DIMMS]
  • 1 TB hard drive 7200 RPM SATA 3 Gb/s of 750Go
  • 1.8 GB NVIDIA Geforce GTX 260 [2 DVI, HDMI and VGA adapters]
  • LightScribe 16 X MAX drive DVD +/-R/RW SuperMulti

  power of 460 wt

  About the food, the psu calculator gives me the following recommendations

  I need my current configuration 529W!

  with a gtx 560 ti , I need 513

  with a gtx 570, I need 577W

  This raises a few questions:

  1. How can my system running on a 460wt power if the power supply calculator recommends 529w (nvidia reccomends a PSU 500w for the gtx 260 which is installed on my machine?)

  2. how the song gtx 560 ti could possibly require less energy than my current gtx 260?

  3. could I move to one of these cards without replacing the power supply? (I'd be willing to lose the dvd/rw drive, this falls 30w)

  4. what someone has updated the PSU in a HPE 380 t? Looks like there is a little extra space, but not much?

  About the video card itself, I am concerned about the space, I looked inside of the case, there is a decent amount of clearance around the gtx 260, but I'd love to hear from someone who has tried to replace this card.

  Specifications for standard cards are:

  gtx 260 courses:

  height: 4,376 inches, length: 10.5 inches, width: double slot

  recommended psu 500w

  GTX 560 ti

  height: 4,376 inches, length: 9 inches, width: double slot

  recommended psu 500w

  GTX 560 ti super clocked

  height: 9.4 inches, length: 11.8 inches, width: double slot

  GTX 570

  height: 4,376 inches, length: 10.5 inches, width: double slot

  recommended psu 550w

  bang for buck the 560 ti superclocked is the best deal, unfortunately they are also the most cumbersome...

  All advice appreciated!

  Hello

  The difference will be the distance between the power supply and the optical bays can be annoying.  Open your PC and do some measure and see if a thumb causes less issues.  Don't forget the extra cable lengths.

  Tip: When you install the new power supply, remove the front cover, lock the optical drive and slide if forward to facilitate the installation of the power supply. Do the PSU upgrade before you get your PC stable before installing new video card.

  These "how-to" HP articles should be useful.

  The OCZ has a bus verses double 12 volts the Corsair with a rail.  There is always a debate about who is best. Both have advantages and disadvantages.  I prefer implementing the only bus.  The really big PSUS, all seem to have several buses. The material of the size of the bus which had to bear the whole of the amperage on a bus would be rather substantial with very large power supplies and there are other reasons.

• Hardware acceleration is not enabled on my video card driver when playing Freecell

  Original title: "Hardware Acceleration"

  Ladies and gentlemen,

  I just clean installed Win 7 to replace Vista on my laptop Dell Inspiron 1720 (bought in 2008), and it went smoothly.

  However, when I tried the game "Freecell", I got the message that hardware acceleration is not enabled on my video card driver.

  How to achieve this please?

  (Device Manager displays the graphics card to be a standard VGA graphics card and the driver is supposed to be later)

  With thanks a lot

  Singletsigma

  Hello

  As the indicated error hardware acceleration must be supported by the video card
  and the drivers used. Check with Dell for the updated drivers, as well as the manufacturer of the device for
  the video device for the even more recent drivers. Do not assume because the Device Manager displays the
  present drivers as later that they are really - see how to upgrade the drivers below.

  ========================

  IF your graphics (video device) and driver both allow hardware acceleration.

  1. choose Start > Control Panel.
  2. double-click on customization, and then select display settings.
  3. click on advanced settings.
  4. click on change settings on the Troubleshooting tab.
  5. move the cursor to Enable hardware acceleration
  6. click on apply and then click OK to accept the new setting and close the dialog box.
  7. click OK to close the display properties dialog box.
  8 restart Windows.

  References to Vista also apply to Windows 7.
  
  It's my generic how updates of appropriate driver: (updated video driver manually.)

  This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

  -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system.
  For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver,
  Description, version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
  http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

  For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
  Control Panel - device - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
  your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on update
  Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right-click.
  Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.

  Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party
  with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

  Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
  Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
  BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

  Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
  each installation.

  Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
  presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
  in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
  necessary.

  Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check
  manually by model.

  Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

  It is preferable to ensure that the latest drivers from the manufacturer of system and device manufacturers are located)
  http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/43216-installing-updating-drivers-7-a.html

  If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable the facilities of driver under Windows
  Updates, that leaves about Windows updates but it will not install the drivers that will be generally
  older and cause problems. If updates offers a new driver and then HIDE it (right click on it), then
  get new manually if you wish.

• Upgrade the video card on Satellite X 200-20 g

  Hello everyone

  I'll find a way to have my 8700M GT updated on my X 200 laptop.
  I paid for it more than 2000 and I paid for 2 years warranty.
  A few months later, I discovered that some of the new Toshiba are equipped with 9700 m GTS!

  I know that the X 200-20 G is having a mxm graphics card which is removable to be upgraded (not being is not part of the motherboard).

  I couldn't find anywhere in the Toshiba site, where I can ask to buy a new graphics card, or if I can send my laptop and ask for an upgrade price.
  I suppose someone who has paid a sum of money for Toshiba can be listened to, or get a special offer to swap its model to the newest one after even not a year of use.

  I really want to upgrade the video card, and I don't really know where to find advice or information about it, other than on the side of Toshiba.

  Thanks to everyone or admin, to let me know how I should do, or process.

  Kind regards
  Chris

• Video card driver and "hardware acceleration".

  My monitor is constantly go dark and return a little later; image on and off, on and off the power and in and left and so on and so forth. Quite annoying because I can barely use my PC. It's like working with a strobe light!

  Yesterday I received the message informing me that "hardware acceleration is disabled or not supported by the video driver...; to ensure that [I] have the driver of the last installed graphics card and that hardware acceleration is turned on."  Accordingly, I downloaded and installed the latest update from my PC video card driver.  But I don't know, could not find an explanation of what the "hardware acceleration" is; and I have not the slightest idea of what, precisely, do I "Enable hardware acceleration" option or whatever this thing can be.

  Everyone out there can translate this message in clear and simple English and explain in simple terms how can I comply with these instructions?

  Any suggestions, comments, advice, instructions, tips, advise or advice, you can provide to help me my ignorance on the matter, will certainly be very popular.

  Thank you

  ALV

  If your monitor goes and out looks like it might be broken or maybe a bad connection.

  If the problem just started to happen yesterday, what happened with the system yesterday?  Do you have a few Windows updates that may have included an update of the video driver - never a good thing for the driver updated from Microsoft.

  Some graphics card have / have a kind of hardware acceleration settings and others do not.

  You can check in an average point round by right click on your desktop, customize, change the display settings, display, advanced settings, on the advanced settings screen click on troubleshooting.

  Of the Panel, the path would be:

  Control Panel-> display-> Change-> avancΘs-> troubleshooting display settings

  If the change settings button is dimmed, you cannot set the acceleration:

  

  The change settings button could also be grayed out if you have the wrong driver installed.

  If you pouvez change the settings of the screen will look like this:

  

  If the cursor is completely to the left (none) hardware acceleration is possible, but disabled/turned off so you can make an adjustment here (you may need to experiment with settings).

  If you are unable to understand, you need to tell us what you have.

  Follow these steps so that we can see what you have:

  Click on the button/ORB start in the lower left corner of your screen. Or, press the button of your keyboard Windows logo.

  In the type box:

  Msinfo32

  Select / click msinfo32.exe and the system information dialog box opens.

  Click System summary, click on edit, select all (Ctrl-A), copy (Ctrl-C) and then paste (Ctrl-V) the information back here in your next reply.

  For information about video drivers, expand components, click view, click on edit, select all (Ctrl-A), copy (Ctrl-C) and paste (Ctrl-V) feedback here.

  There will be some personal information (such as the user name and the name of the system), and anything that turns information private for you, simply delete the pasted information.
