HP Pavilion Elite HPE-420 old graphics card?

Hello people, I just ordered the Pavilion Elite HPE-420 with the specs:

CPU: i7 870 2.93 ghz.

Graphics card: Nvidia gt230 1.5 GB

RAM: 6 GB ddr3

Hard drive: 1.5 to

OS: windows edition Home premium 64-bit

Overall, not a bad pc, but "HP" made a huge mistake by using the Gt 230 graphics card since it is a remake of the geforce 9600 gt card? The gt 230 is not really a card you want in your system, these days, I have good or I am completely wrong?

BTW, I play a lot of games...

The HP HPE-420nl is here.  Other models of the HPE-420 have an ATI 5450 which is a 2.0 card.

  • HP Pavilion Elite HPE 547c: upgrade graphics card for HP Elite

    I tried to replace/upgrade to update my graphics card for my desktop PC. I tried several video cards, but with each one, once it is installed and the computer turned on, the image does not register with the monitor. Everything else seems to work, but the monitor gives no answer. It was only a problem once the original video card has been removed. The current video card, I am trying to install is the NVIDIA GEFORCE GT 730.

    In the course of the years, I added a memory and the power supply has been upgraded, but all the rest are always original parts (http://support.hp.com/us-en/product/HP-Pavilion-Elite-HPE-Desktop-PC-series/5035344/model/5074426/do...

    Is this a problem with the other parties, who will need to be replaced or is there something else I forget?

    Thank you.

    Hello

    You're dominant, in your case, the most important factor-BIOS compatibility... more recent maps, like the gt730, require the UEFI BIOS to run... you have a LEGACY BIOS system, and cannot do anything, unless you change your motherboard... your pc is a model of early 2011... UEFI standard HP in their systems of end of 2012...

    You can watch other maps, if... the 700 series card youre looking at is a maxwell model 2014... There are in this region that come with a feature of hybrid bios which offers wider compatibility on legacy systems... or you can look at maps more old pascal/fermi architecture that work exclusively on legacy BIOS systems...

    Hope this helps

  • HP Pavilion Elite HPE-210f: update video card

    A PNY gtx 950 should physically be in a HP Pavilion Elite HPE-210f? I already know that I have to upgrade the power supply, but before shelling out more money, I figured I would see if anyone knew if the card fits?

    KKingotu, welcome to the forum.

    The problem you will have with the GTX 950 is, it requires UEFI in the motherboard instead of a standard BIOS.  HP didn't start using UEFI until mid-October 2012.  Your computer was released on February 5, 2010.  There is no way to update the UEFI BIOS.  You can contact Technical Support PNY to see if they have a VBIOS update for the video card that will work with your motherboard.

    Meanwhile in the space provided, you can measure e/s rear plate on the front of the computer case to see if any of the components.  In addition, it is a wide double card (two locations).

  • HP Pavilion Elite h8 - 1070t: updated graphics card for HP Pavilion Elite h8 - 1070t

    Up to what series Gtx is compatible with this model on computer? I tried to install a Gigabyte Gtx 960 card to my pc and it was not compatible. I have read similar problems for older models of PC and I was wondering the compatibility for this particular model range.  In addition, Gtx 750ti will be compatible with this model?

    Thank you.

    Hello

    Your PC is a PC old BIOS and most new graphics cards are active UEFI.

    Most, if not all of the NVIDIA GTX 7xx and 9xx series graphics cards with some exceptions will not work on your PC. The BIOS of your PC is not compatible with these graphics cards.

    The NVIDIA GTX 660 with a 600 Watt power supply will be all that you can do better.  The NVIDIA GTX 670 and 680 can also work, but they can be finicky in older PCs.

  • New graphics card for HP Pavilion Elite HPE-170 t

    Hi, I'm getting artifacts screen sporadically, Ithink my video card is starting to go bad. I want to get a new one, but I do not know what will fit. My computer HP Pavilion Elite HPE-170 t:

    • Intel Core i7 - 860 quad-core processor [2.8 GHz, 1 MB L2 + 8 MB of cache N3 shared]
    • 8 GB DDR3 1333 MHz SDRAM
    • 1 TB hard drive 7200 RPM SATA 3 Gb/s
    • 1 GB ATI Radeon HD 4850 [2 DVI, HDMI and VGA adapters]
    • LightScribe SuperMulti DVD burner
    • Player 15-in-1 memory cards, 1 USB, 1394, audio
    • No TV Tuner
    • Creative Sound Blaster X - Fi Titanium

    I see by a few other questions here several cards video suggested, but these responses were a few years old and these video cards are no longer available.

    So, any suggestions on the new video cards less than $200, which will be more apt to little and works as easily as possible? Thank you!

    OK, I got my new video card, to be exact of it:

    http://www.Amazon.com/XFX-250E-800MHz-graphics-R7250EZNP4/DP/B00JM5XX9O/ref=dp_ob_title_ce

    http://www.xfxforce.com/en-us/products/AMD-Radeon-R7-series/AMD-Radeon-R7-250E-core-Edition-R7-250E-znp4

    It works like a champ! Took me about 5 minutes to install the card physically and 15 minutes to install all drivers and updates.

    So far so good - everything seems OK, so if anyone is looking for a video card for this configuration, it worked for me.

    Hello

    The HPE-590uk PC has a 460 watt power supply with a 1 connector PCI-E 6-pin power supply. When considering a graphics card, it is always best to consider the recommendation of power supply as indicated by the manufacturer of the graphics card.

    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.

  • Video card (and others) upgrades for a HP Pavilion Elite HPE-510 t

    Hello... First of all, I just want to say that these forums have been an invaluable resource for me in my quest to upgrade my current PC. A lot of good answers and always at the top of the Google search results, you guys have been so super helpful. Without a doubt a very different experience from what I got when I bought my PC from a company that rhymes with 'hell '.

    I have a few specific questions, however, and thought I'd throw them to let experts weigh... For the record, I have a HP Pavilion Elite HPE - 510 t with all parts except for the video card, which is currently an ATI over-pants v4800. I am running three monitors 20 "(1 DVI and Display Port 2 at present, but who can be flexible). Also, I don't a few moderate games (FPS, MMO) and watch a lot of Netflix...

    1. I'm certainly looking to update my video card, but I do not know what actually fits. I'm ready to upgrade the PSU as well (probably to the Corsair CX-600 recommended elsewhere on this forum), so power should not be a problem. And money is not a huge problem either, as long as the card is less than $500 or more. I've been watching some of the newer cards (like a 680 GTX or even the new 770), but I'm afraid that they will not physically fit in the case, or will be not compatible with the motherboard (which seems to be the PCIe 1.0? Or I read wrong?). So basically, my ultimate question is: what is the best possible graphics card given my case current and potentially put to level power supply, motherboard, I could use? If it's important, SLI is feasible but not more.

    2. I also intend to add additional RAM. The page on the card to my PC to the HP support Site says it takes DDR3 1600 PC3 10600, but everything that I find these days in the RAM is DDR 3 1600 PC3 12800. My mother/PC card will support the 12800 or do I have to keep hunting to find 10600 sticks?

    3. and finally, I'll also put in a Pro 840 Samsung SSD. Do you know if the motherboard compatible with the SATA connectors suitable for speeds of 6 GB? Just plug page says "SATA" and does not specify a version.

    Any help you could give me on these questions would be greatly appreciated. This computer has served me well for a few years now, and I'm hoping to keep it for a few more years. Thanks in advance and have a nice day...

    Here are the specifications of plant origin and configurable options for your desktop HP Pavilion Elite HPE - 510 t CTO and here are the specs of his card mother IPISB-CH (Cleveland). According to the specifications, the motherboard uses the Chipset Intel H67 Express that supports an extension v2.0 x 16 PCIe and 3Gbs SATAII (SATA2).

    (1) SLI is not "feasible", so no need to go there. GeForce GTX 680 cards are going to be long, perhaps too long. You need to measure the space available at the back of the case more further along the x 16 PCIe slot to determine what can be installed. You will need to resign it a notch or two... until you find one that matches. The CX600 Corsair is a great choice and fits, even if you can buy the place CX600M. The CX600M is modular and allows much better management of the cables and so the potential for a better air circulation.

    (2) with regard to memory, the State of the plug;

    Four DIMM DDR3 240-pin connectors
    Supports the PC3 10600 connectors DIMM DDR3 (1333 MHz)
    Memory non - ECC, unbuffered

    Then, two sets of most of these (2 x 4 GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10600) Desktop Memory Kits should do the trick. You can also go to the website Crucial.com and use two of their 'guaranteed compatible memory upgrade'.

    (3) your computer supports speeds SATAII (3Gbs) and this is the best it will do. However, the SATA connector is identical to what is found on a SSD SATAIII and it should be compatible with your computer.

  • HP Pavilion Elite HPE - 532 s: 'Secure Boot Configuration' not found?

    Hello support, I wanted to disable startup secure for my office.
    I have a pavilion Elite HPE - 532 s Bios 7.15 I followed the step of many posts, but I don't have it under the heading "security"?
    I am on window 10 64-bit UEFI.
    I wanted to disable, because I have a new GTX 960 graphics card and it stuck on the HP logo at startup all the time when I use the new card. !!

    I tried to disable the security slot, but no matter what I do I get a black screen for my card both old and new so I have to reset the bios settings.
    Help me please.

    Thanks for the additional information.

    Here is my diagnosis/notice:

    I don't think you'll be able to get the GTX 960 to work with this system.

    Why it won't work in the UEFI/GPT:

    It will not work in the UEFI [I think] 960 GTX is one card of UEFI and you must disable secure boot to make it work. Your BIOS is only "UEFI compatible" originally planned for Windows 7 [which does not support secure boot]. If you are unable to disable the secure startup, you can not use this card.

    Why it won't work in legacy/MBR:

    It won't work in legacy because it's a single card of UEFI.

    My suggestion:

    Return to the legacy/MBR and use a graphics card that has a dual BIOS BIOS/hybrid or one who supports in particular the Legacy BIOS as described in one of my previous posts.

    Some other things to consider:

    You PSU has enough power for this card? I think it takes a minimum of 400W PSU.

    You connect the auxiliary power connector?

    Have you tried to disable "Intergrated Graphics" in the BIOS [as appropriate]
