• Pavilion HPE h8 - 1360t: the graphics card upgrades

  My current system has used an AMD Radeon HD graphics card 7570.  I am interested in upgrading this map and looking for a recommendation for a mid range to high level card that corresponds to this case / motherboard.

  My system uses UEFI and I already know that I'll need to upgrade my power for something in the range of 500W.

  Thank you

  Hello

  The NVIDIA GTX 970 is a decent graphics card.  Because of the many brands and models of graphics cards, you need to open your PC and do a step inside. Please read this document posted on: a discrete video card selection Guide

  If you don't push monitor resolutions since 1920 by 1080 and average use game setting then the NVIDIA GTX 750 TI would be a good choice for use with a power of 300 watts with many games. However, the GTX 970 with a 500 Watt power supply would be good for many games even with the higher game settings.

  He'll come down between your choice of performance and the depth of your portfolio.

• HP Pavilion p7-1030 graphic card upgrade help

  OK, so I have a desktop HP Pavilion p7-1030, and the graphics card is crap, I need to update something much better.
  
  I know that I'll probably need a new power supply too, if anyone knows a good combo?

  Also, where can I find the old graphics card and POWER supply in order to remove and replace?

  I'm playing BF3, so it must be good.
  
  Any help is appreciated.

  Zxcvbnm0, welcome to the forum.

  According to the specifications of the computer, there is only the embedded video.  It is integrated in the motherboard, so you cannot remove it.  It will be automatically disabled when a discreet card is installed.  Integrated video is never good for video intensive games or other programs.

  I like Corsair and OCZ PSU.  I recommend at least 500W.  This will give you more choices of video cards.  You must measure the current PSU and compare the measurements to the one you choose.  Normally, I buy my parts from Newegg.

  Here is an example of a good food:

  http://www.Newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=N82E16817139028

  I like the graphics cards XFX, EVGA, Sapphire and PNY in that order.  I recommend you to stay at 9 "long or less.  This ensures that it will not go in the space provided.

  Here is an example of a video card that should work:

  http://www.Newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=N82E16814150561

  The PSU is where the power cord is connected.  If you do upgrades, it will help mark the wires of the PSU to make sure that you connect them correctly.  The connectors of the motherboard must be labelled, and more, the wires on the new power supply.

  If you use an adapter, then you have the choice on the end to use the adapter based on the adapter that you use. Buy cable HDMI to DVI and save frustration adapter problems and possible.

• The graphics card upgrade issues...

  I recently bought this graphics card: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/searchtools/item-Details.asp?EdpNo=5660536&sku=A271-5774

  Also, I advanced and bought this power supply: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/searchtools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3276573

  I own a HP Pavilion a6414 and this is my first video/graphics card upgrade.  I did a good bit of research and I know that I have the PCI E x 16 appropriate for the card slot and the power SUPPLY 650 Watt PSU to insert in the ATX case. I measure the UAP present btw.  I'm a little worried about the upgrade of the power supply, because I read somewhere (I think it's here on this forum) that some HP tech rep said a person who upgrade the power supply could not be performed on the a6414, but I don't see why not.

  My other concern is about the speed of the processor to the graphics card and possibly voltage problems, but I think the power SUPPLY Ultra PSU will be fine.  Either that it is my first time to play with the graphics card and PSU, I'm looking for advice on the compatibility between these three components, i.e. the model, the card and the power supply.  Any input will be greatly appreciated.

  Thanks in advance...

  I installed everything today and it works like a charm.  I had read so much about the HD 5770 not recognized by HPs and the test of the power supply, but everything worked so far.  I bought a LG LED 20 "monitor today as well, and everything looks great.  Thanks for all the advice guys...  The links you provided helped with Dave BIOS, thanks.

• Pavilion dv7-6b56nr: HP Pavilion dv7-6b56nr Entertainment Notebook PC processor Upgrade?

  I the Pavilion dv7-6b56nr notebook and want to upgrade the processor and the video.  In the research forums, I found this guide Maintenance and maintenance for dv7 series machines: http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c03043778

  My machine has currently a processor 2.30 GHz AMD A6 - 3400M (1.40 GHz FSB, 4, 0 - MB L2 cache, quad core, 35 W)

  My question is:

  I read the service correctly guide in can I switch to a processor 2.70 GHz AMD A8-3550MX (2.00 GHz FSB, 4, 0 - MB L2 cache, quad core, 45 W)?

  Combined, the machine automatically provides the necessary 45W for the new piece as opposed to the 35W uses the current chip?

  The motherboard will support the 45w processor, Yes. You may want to also consider a stronger but not absolutely necessary adapter.

• HP ProBook 4445 s processor and graphics card upgrade

  Hello

  I need to have my CPU and graphics card upgraded to the requirements below please add link/s that will help me

  Processor
  I need to improve my processor 1.90 GHz to 4 GHz (at least 2.66 GHz). Then please add a link/s to this processor/s that I can use to upgrade my laptop to 2.66 GHz at least, or reach 4 Ghz.

  Video card
  I also need to improve my video card from the AMD Radeon HD 7640 G to a DirectX 11 with 2 GB of video ram (at least 1 GB of video ram). Please add link/s on what card video/s who reach the requirements I need.

  Thank you

  Here's the problem with that:

  AMD A6 - 4400M, Max 3,2 GHz / 2.7 - GHz Base, 1 MB of L2 cache, Dual-Core,.
  Graphic 35W: 7520G HD

  AMD - A8 4500 M, Max 2.8 GHz/1, 9-basis of GHz, 4 MB L2 cache, quadcore,.
  Graphic 35W: 7640G HD

  AMD - A4 - 4300M, 3.0 GHz maximum / 2.5 - GHz Base, 1 MB of L2 cache, double
  Core, graphic 35W: HD 7420 G

  Above are your graphics options for laptop. If yours is 1.9 ghz it cannot the A8, which is the best CPU and GPU option available. The video is part of the processor. There is just no way for you to improve the graphics capabilities of this laptop. It may seem like the A-6 is better because it works to 2.7 ghz, but there only 2 hearts: you have 4. And the 7520 graphics are lower than what you have. That's what you try to do? There is not too many computers that reach 4 ghz, not to mention a laptop.

  No, the GTX 950 requires UEFI in the motherboard instead of a standard BIOS.  HP didn't start using UEFI until mid-October 2012.  There is no way to update the motherboard in the UEFI.  Latest video cards do not for UEFI were the GTX 660/670.  I suggest that you choose a manufacturer and contact their Technical Support to help them choose the best card for your system.

  You will also need to upgrade the power supply (PSU).  It is only 300W.  Most newer cards require at least 400W to work properly.  Although status map specifications at least 300 w, members reported that they had at least to 400W.

• HP pavilion f002sm 17: hp pavilion 17 f002sm problem with graphics card

  Hi @zumzo ,

  I understand that you have installed the driver and it works fine.  When you checked the diagnostics you became confused because it says graphic R5 but you R7.

  According to the specifications of your laptop you have AMD Quad - Core A8 - 6410 APU with graphics Radeon R5 (2 GHz, 2 MB cache).

  Here is a link to the 17-f002sm HP Pavilion Notebook product specifications to confirm this information. I hope that this eliminates any confusion.

  

• Pavilion p6 - 2020t: HP-Pavilion will identify the new graphics card

  Hello

  I got a HP Pavilion for a few years now and never updated my BIOS (not that I know well). I'm trying to install a new graphics (gtx 750ti) card and the computer does not recognize it. It shows the first screen, and then a black screen and a beep, then it crashes. Keyboard does not work, cannot get into the BIOS.

  I tried everythign with current BIOS, boot legacy and ensuring that the Integrated GPU is disabled, and nothing works. I also did research on food, and but it is not terrible, it should work with this graphics card (the fan even spinning).

  According to my research, the current BIOS is simply not recognize, and I need to update. My current version is: FRIEND 7.16, 05/10/2011

  I navagate through the HP website and it said that the automatic update should update the BIOS for Windows 10, and it won't let me download all drivers (although the last BIOS update was 2011). I tried to enter the FRIEND's site and download it from there and it won't even install their drivers, it says that flash is not supported (probably for Windows 10).

  If someone could give me an idea of how can I get a newer version of the BIOS for my motherboard, it would be much appreciated as I'm pretty sure that's the reason why the computer is not recognizing the new graphics card

  The risk is that the video card is one that is for a newer PC with an EFI BIOS. That's why the empty card is not recognized.

  If you use a card equipped with a switch on the virtual card allowing the use in legacy and uefi BIOS it will work with the BIOS of your PC.

  Sapphire makes video cards that have this capability. Take a look at the catalogue. What you need is a PCIE x 16 card video with switchable legacy\uefi BIOS or legacy support, but not only UEFI.

  http://www.sapphiretech.com/catapage_tech.asp?cataid=8 & lang = eng

  You cannot change the type of BIOS that your PC has in the UEFI.  It's a question of his being of a generation of diferent from the PC.

• F004dx Pavilion 17: Pavilion 17 AMD Radeon HD graphics card Windows 7 drivers f004dx

  I'm downgrading my Pavilion 17 f004dx to Windows 7 Pro.  I have the Pro Windows 7 64 bit responsible and all windows updates for it so far.  I'm having a problem with the installation of the video drivers.  For some reason any the AMD Catalyst video driver utility does not see the specific video hardware video card model AMD Radeon HD graphics on the display card.  Windows 7 Pro keeps defining it as the "Standard VGA graphics card".  Does anyone know what it should be showing under display adapters in Device Manager.

  Is there anything I can do to get Windows 7 Pro 64 bit to recognize the graphics card AMD Radeon HD, so the AMD Catalyst software will be able to load the correct video drivers?

  Please advise...

  Thank you!

  Hello:

  I think I finally found a driver that works.

  None of the other drivers that we tried was the hardware ID for the GPU to your laptop, but this one doesn't.

  This package provides the AMD graphics driver high definition (HD) and Catalyst Control Center for models of laptop computers that are running an operating system supported. For laptops equipped with switchable graphics modes, this package contains the drivers for the two graphics (GPU). Switchable graphics allow users to switch between a graphical power mode (normally used under the power of the battery) and a mode of graphics performance. If the video output high-definition multimedia interface (HDMI) is supported, this package also installs the HDMI Audio Driver.

  File name: sp69161.exe

  You may need to install the driver manually if auto installation does not work.

• Pavilion dv7-6080el: update the graphics drivers: one in the choice of the hp support site?

  Hello.  Many games always tell me that I have the graphics drivers not updated.

  Playing Overwatch, I uninstalled and automatically updated graphics drivers. But looking at the site (site for my computer laptop support technique hp) they are still not updated and there are 5 drivers choice.  How should know which I expect?

  Now, pilots have version 8.810.4.1000, but I guess I probably want the Rev 8.830.6.2000. or the 8.882.2.3000.

  If anyone can help?

  Specifics:

  I have laptop HP Pavilion dv7-6080el Entertainment

  switchable graphics with Radeon (TM) HD 6490 M graphics Mobile Intel (r) HD

  the dxdiag gives this

  If someone could help it will be greatly appreciated!  

  The driver you want for graphics switchable win764bit is indeed the 8.15.10.2476 8.882.2.3000.The is wrongly declared

  for switchable graphics, it's for laptops that have only the map intel.

• HP Pavilion A6603W Graphics card upgrade help.

  Current graphics card:

  GeForce 7100 / nForce 630i (built-in to the motherboard as a chip)

  Power supply #: ATX-250-12Z-REV-D7R (250 Watts I think?)

  Computer model: (HP Pavilion A6603W)

  Problem: Trying to figure out which is the best graphic card for upgrade with to keep up to date with current games, such as: battlefield, bad company 2, just cause 2, Amnesia: Dark descent.

  Now in regards to food, I'm sure that ill have to level it as well. But I found quite reasonable online at the FRY's Electronics:

  http://www.frys.com/product/5503410

  But in regards to the graphics card, I'm completely lost here that I out I can buy and not to buy. most of my games requires at least DirectX10 or more, which only takes my graphics card supported DirectX 9. I also saw that some graphics cards require power slots? I am completely new to this and I would like to have the support of users.

  Oh and by the way, the minimum that I can spend is $ 250

  any suggestions?

  Thank you for your time and your consideration.

  Salko, to play the games you mentioned, you'll need a good mid-level video card.  I like XFX, BFG, EVGA, Sapphire and PNY in that order.  The main thing to check is the length of the card.  The newer cards are 10 "or more may not correspond to the expected location.  With a power supply that is at least 500W, you assign choices.

  The Antec PSU should be fine.  However, I love OCZ and Corsair PSU for a higher power clean and stable.  They are the two manufacturers PSU enthusiast/gamer.  Check Newegg for a PSU that assign customers (read) and is rated at least 4 eggs.  It is a good indicator of the quality of the product of those who use it.
