HP Pavilion 222ur-550 T1H38EA: graphics card update

Hello!

I recently bought a HP Pavilion 550 - 222ur and found out that the default graphics card (GeForce GT 730) is less efficient in most of the games. So I want to get a more powerful (thought mini GeForce GTX 750 Ti or Asus GeForce GTX 950). While researching the possibility of upgrade, I discovered that some graphics cards may not work on the PC of HP brand due to a BIOS issue. So the question is: will be mentioned in this workstation graphics cards? And if these cards are compatible, I'll have to get better food, as well, no? Thanks in advance.

Provide the details of my PC for reference: http://support.hp.com/gb-en/product/HP-Pavilion-550-200-Desktop-PC-series/9259612/model/9764558/docu...

So basically I'm stuck with a PC with very good processor and an outdated graphics card but there is nothing I can do what about it? Or is it? Whatever in, I used just to listen to sales in the shop and do not do my research beforehand. Thank you.

# You can improve it.

The ASUS GEFORCE® GTX 950 Mini would be a good candidate for the upgrade.  You can use cards PCIe x 16 UEFI based because your PC is post 2012. It doesn't have a legacy BIOS.  You should disable the start safe in the BIOS feature.

You can update the graphics card and the power supply end up with a decent gaming machine, if that is your goal.

Be aware that it will not compete with machines that are DIY built by amateurs or games machines made by the best companies of PC.

  • I have a hp pavilion a6325 and my graphics card is fried what graphics card is compatible

    I have a hp pavilion a6325 and my graphics card is fried what graphics card is compatible? the old card is a nvidea geforce8500gt but these seem difficult to obtain now. If I wanted to update that is not compatible. C.P. specification is as follows.

    Yes, you could install maps better with a more solid food.

    The card I have chosen for you will work with the P/S of 300W to your PC.

    I have never installed a power improved in any of my PC, so I can't be a great help for you there.

    But if you get the right one that matches all connections from your PC, and fits in place of the current one, you, you should not need to buy anything others.

  • 550-142d Pavilion: the change of graphics card BIOS update

    Hello

    I have a Pavilliion 550 - 142d I want to update to provide a better gaming experience. The map pre-installed in the Pavilion is 730 GT that does not happen at the end of game.

    The graphics card, I intend to buy is the GTX950 or GTX 1060.

    I did the necessary research on upgrading the graphics card.  But I discovered only recently that I need update the BIOS when changing the GPU.

    What are the precautions or steps I have to take in what concerns the updated BIOS to support the new graphics card?

    I just finished replacing my PSU 550w successfully today. The only problem I encountered was that I didn't have a slim-SATA to power the built-in DVD player. I intend to get an adapter SATA slim finally.

    I will proceed to the graphics card vendor soon, please advise me on the supported BIOS I knew HP has an integrated program to monitor and update a driver accordingly. As such, I worry if the GPU card support is in place. Currently, I don't have any other NVIDIA program installed to update the GPU card.

    Thank you.

    Hello

    Thank you for your concerns.

    I raised my BIOS to version A0.13 (Dec 2015) and the latest version is A0.16 (August 2016).

    I need to update the BIOS before or after changing the component?

    As I predicted to change the GPU, my only question is if I have a correct display of the monitor if I were to run the update after the upgrade. Please notify.

    Thank you for your help.

  • HP Pavilion 550-232na: graphics card

    Hello

    I want to upgrade my graphics card, but I'm not sure what would be compatible for my pc.

    Details of my pc:

    PC: HP Pavilion 550-232na

    Processor: intel core i3-6100 3.70 ghz

    RAM: 8 GB

    existing card: graphics intel HD 530

    Ironbreaker1, welcome to the forum.

    I think that almost any video card will work on your computer.  However, there are two main considerations: 1) the amount of energy needed to run the card properly and 2) the length of the card.

    You certainly need to move the power supply (PSU).  The specifications of the computer state that the PSU is internal and 180W.  Most newer video cards require at least 400W to work properly.  Normally, I would recommend a block of at least 500W Power SUPPLY; 600W is even better.

    Here's a video card that should work, but it requires 400W of power.

    I love the Corsair PSU.  They make quality products at a reasonable price.  The PSU is the backbone of the computer, it is not the place to save money.  This is a power supply that should work for you.  It is modular which allows you to use only the cables that are absolutely necessary.  This more than makes up for the air circulation.  You should check the space provided for the power supply to make sure it will fit.  In addition, make sure that the connectors.

    COD Black Ops must these requirements.   Your CPU meets the corrected value.

    The graphics are a serious difference... the comparison here is.  560ti vs the 760 and both are 170W.

    You will need at least a 500W PSU, but again, I would see that a 600W Corsair associated with a card EVGA.

    Finally, you need 8 GB of memory of motherboard.  Just 6 GB. Not sure about your Setup, because there are 4 locations, and you have 6 GB installed... Run the CPUID CPU-Z to analyze the 4 locations.

  • HP pavilion HPE H8 - 1160t: 530 to 740 geforce graphics card update

    The connection with my primary monitor has become black after moving from monitor, my secondary monitor is fine

    I check connections change cables, bought new cables just in case they have been the cause, even to swap monitors and try to see if it's the monitor.

    monitors both work.

    so, I check the connection on the graphics card. I have a card GEForce 530

    I went and bought a new 400Watts power supply to support a GEForce GT 740 and the computer emits a beep ounces and nothing, black screens

    then I tried with one monitor and remains black, I can't start in safe mode it does not give me the options that the specifications and nothing else.

    I even clear the RAM memory cards, clear the CMOS and disconnected and plugged the card back just in case.

    nothing

    screen stays black

    I return to my old card and it works fine but only one monitor, I need two monitors to work.

    any suggestions or if you know if this model does not support a map update?

    I did some research already for a few days.

    Check with the manufacturer of the card. I suspect that it is a map of UEFI VBIOS, not inherited.  Your system does not support inheritance. An explanation of @old_geekster can be found here.

  • HP Pavilion a320n needs graphics card update.

    I need to update the graphics card for my HP the a320n desktop. I need to know about how to proceed and how much it will cost me... and should I even bother? This old compy me has served well with not a glitch during the last 7 years or so, but now, it is flat refusing to run games like Second Life. It's a Nvidia GeForce 4 MX integrated GPU. Is there a way to improve this?

    Here are some generic instructions:

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c00007413

    ... The choice is yours. You should be able to find much better used or old-stock 8 x AGP card for anywhere from $30 to $150: example... http://www.TigerDirect.com/applications/category/category_slc.asp?CATID=318 & SRCCODE = WEBGOOVID & cm_mmc_o = mH4CjC7BBTkwCjCECjCEL

    Memory must be inexpensive as well and can also help a lot. The thing is, if you think you can buy a new computer from an OEM, like HP, for about the same price... So, I leave to you to determine if XP is more reliable than vista or not. But more new games will be compatible with Vista... (or Win7).

    I am looking to update my graphics card, but through research have seen that a few other people had problems in the same area. Here is a list of all my current equipment and the graphics card that someone else said should be compatible and if someone could check if I should try to try it would be great, thanks.

    Power supply wattage: 300 Watts

    If you own a H8-1214, WIN 7, the BIOS rev max is 7.16 (related to the operating system).  This means that the MSI GTX 750Ti is an excellent choice because it has a legacy and UEFI micro-switch.  You need the legacy support. Although the GTX 750Ti is rated for a minimum PSU 300W, the HD7450 is 25W and the GTX 750Ti 60W.  NewEgg shows a 400W PSU.

    @themacksteruk, welcome to the forum.

    You will not be able to upgrade the video card without upgrading the power supply (PSU).  She should be at least 500W.  You must measure the space where the PSU is installed and check to see if you can find one that fits.
