How to upgrade my video card?

My kids want to play minecraft on my laptop but I get this error msg

Bad video card drivers!
-----------------------

Minecraft could not start because it did not find an accelerated OpenGL mode.
Generally, this can be corrected by updating the video card drivers.

How to upgrade the video card?
Please help =)

Thank you

Hello

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.

Check with the manufacturer of the laptop computer for updated video drivers.

I hope this helps.

    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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • Upgrading my video card

    Good then I want to update my video card in my current one... don't know exactly how I would have this approach. I don't want to just go and ask retailers initially that they could sell me something that is overpriced and not that great. Don't know what type of video card I want, but I will provide a few details end my computer and we can go from there.
    I have an AMD athlon II 2 250 processor processor - 2 X ~ 3.0 GHz
    Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit)
    NVIDIA GeForce 6150SE nForce 430
    Integrated RAMDAC
    Memory total approx. - 1912 GB
    Realtek HD audio
    Here is my card to my motherboard/Bios card:
    -CHIPSET AMD 1200 rev 0
    Card mother name: HP-Pavilion
    Motherboard model: AY014AA-ABL a4310f
    BIOS size: 1048576
    Name: Hewlett-Packard
    RAM - 4, 00 GB
    power supply 250W

    Don't know what else I would need to provide before I can even go ahead and think about buying a video card. Oh, I'm willing to spend more than $ 150 too if I need too. 200 would be to much but if I mean play Crysis (which is an old game now lol) and the only way I can is with a $ 200 card so that I don't really have a choice, I guess. I was trying to play the Chronicles of riddick and I saw my system not handling not really the game that well and it's an old game now that made me think I would def need a new video card.

    If you want more plug on my office heres the link

    If you're a gamer?  Crysis is a cpu eater. However, a better video would be really useful, but to support a better video card will require a replacement of power supply.  Max 600 watts should be plenty.

    Review the specifications of performance ATI and NVIDIA . Look at the specifications of strip memory bandwidth and level of DirectX support.

    How to replace a power supply.

    How to replace a video card.

    www.Newegg.com has a lot of power and video card blocks.  Choose a modular power supply with a performance rating of 80 + or higher. Try to find one that has the same physical dimensions as your current diet. Then do a measure to the inside of your PC around 16 x PCI-E slotso that you know what size card have to be considered.

  • Upgrade the video card

    I have a HP Pavilion h9-1187 windows 64 - bit pc with nvidia GeForce GT 530 by default.  I need to upgrade the video card, but this motherboard has only one of pci express 16 3.0 slot.  Almost all decent video cards require two slots.  I guess that most cards except those in the crossfire, two cards together configuration, must the two slots.  Most of the time, I guess the seller asking two slots due to the space.  Remove the CAP from my pc and possibly void the warranty, can someone tell me what video card width this pc may take.   I have the motherboard COMPANY PEGATRON, the default value.  If you care to recommend a video card decent all 250-300us about feel free.  Thank you. Apologies, but as a newbie I also posted this in the hardware section of the bureau of the forum as well.  I'll delete the entry that is in the wrong part of the forum.

    When a card is listed as having "two slots", this means only that he would hold the PCIe x 16 location and regardless of the slot is adjacent. It does not require a connection to more than the PCIe x 16 slot. Looking at the photo below, the long black slit under the "IPMMB-FM" is the PCIe x 16 graphics card slot. "The slot short slot needs to be empty, then the '2 locations' map can adapt it without connection to this.

    Almost any card graphics PCIe 2.0, 2.1 or 3.0 will work on your computer. Please look at these PCIe x 16 graphics cards for a selection in your price range. Please see Guide of Dave_G of a discrete video card selection of useful information on the subject.

    It is modular allowing you to use only the necessary cables.  This means that there is more room inside the circulation of air.  He is also a 600W which will give you extra power for the possible future upgrades.  Any block of power SUPPLY Corsair will be good.  They are fans of the quality products for a reasonable price.
