HP Pavilion M9150f upgrade to the game "Crysis warhead.

I'm planning to upgrade my PC to play the game 'Crysis Warhead'. Currently, the PC plays the game OK but, I would like to improve the chart. Could someone help recommend the compatible update graphics card and PSU.  I had to buy something else? I am concerned if the new card graphics and able to fit inside the tower PC POWER supply. How easy is the replacement procedure. Thank you.

Memory - 2.0 GB RAM
GPU - NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GTS / 640MB or similar

Fish, welcome to the forum.

Crysis - Warhead is a resource hog.  So I'm not surprised that you want to upgrade.

In smaller cases of average size, it is advisable to stay less than 9 "for the video card.  Anything longer will be questionable.  I like XFX, BFG, EVGA, Sapphire and PNY in that order.  The XFX card in the link I provided is perhaps not one you want to buy.  However, it is a good example of what to look for on a card for your computer.  I love ATI based cards because they have their Catalyst Control Panel software.  It allows you to adjust the fan speed and overclock the card if you wish.

Now for the power supply.  I love OCZ and Corsair.  Any standard ATX PSU must fit into the housing.  However, I always recommend measuring the PSU existing and comparing measures to whichever you choose.  The PSU is the backbone of the computer, I always recommend high quality maunufacturers.  Both cater to the enthusiast/gamer community.  Their products will provide a clean and stable power supply for your system.  Read the reviews from customers on all products.  Comments will give you the history directly on products without exaggeration of the manufacturer.

If you need help, let me know.

  • Pavilion g6-2213sa for the games?

    Hi, I just bought a laptop HP 'Pavilion g6-2213saHi. I wanted a general purpose shared around the House, but after reading a few reviews and see what I tlhought that was a good deal I went to Pavillion G6 she was supposed to be above average for the games.

    Actually, I only one game which was a present "FarCry3", so I assume that I would be able to load and play on the laptop. After installing the game I tried the FC3 "Map Editor", but it is 'very' slow and "lag" much like a desktop computer would not without a graphics card driver. I have not tried but I guess that online gambling would be substantially the same.

    If there is any who can educated me on the parameters for this machine I tried to change a few things with no improvement. If you think you can help please be specific, thanks.

  • A few questions regarding the hardware upgrade and the games on Satellite Pro 2100

    Hey,.

    I thought that posting this here because it's more about the lines for the games I could think on another topic.

    I'll get to the point... Basically, I bought a laptop from a guy that my friend knew. He barely used this laptop and didn't know anything about computers, and he tried to avoid as much as possible. So he got rid of this laptop for me for real cheap.

    Now I got it, I had expected either of two things with the laptop.

    (1) what I'll use it so I can sit in his bed and travel a little bit while having files, movies, music and internet access. (it wasn't my main idea)

    Or

    (2) it allows to play video games on it, or to update, so I have a better chance to do so.

    I was hoping to get for video games, mainly for my brother to use because his computer is lagging a lot while playing world of Warcraft. I was hoping that this notebook would give him a better experience for a while.

    But as I was installing the game on this, I noticed that the disk space is low, so I'm going to buy an external hard drive, so I can send files between the PC and the laptop, and I got an error message saying that the RAM was under "minimum requirements" for WoW.

    So I know that I got to level it with something big, but I know not what, so I'm not quite sure that this laptop will run the game at a decent rate. So I thought that I turn to a computer forum and ask.

    It's my laptop;
    [Satellite Pro 2100 PS210E | http://uk.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/jsp/SUPPORTSECTION/discontinuedProductPage.do?service=UK&BV_UseBVCook = Yes & PRODUCT_ID = 45659 ie]

    This laptop will do the job don't you think?
    Or it will be better for simpler things, or less if I had the ram to 1gig?

    I don't know much on the laptop, and I'm not really willing to spend too much on fixing, if it's just a change of the ram, then it wouldn't cost much for than to upgrade around 1gig.

    Hello

    First of all, I must say that this notebook belongs to an older series laptop.
    It was equipped with the 1.8 Celeron CPU, 256 MB RAM, 20 GB or 30 GB HARD drive and a 16MB graphics card internal.

    What you can do is upgrade the RAM up to 1 GB (2 x 512 MB) and the HARD drive. But I think that the maximum size of HARD drive that would be recognized by the BIOS is 120 GB.
    I think that the laptop supports one IDE controller and it limited because of the 28-bit LBA HARD drive size.

    So finally, it is important to mention that you can not pass the graphics card because it s soldered onto the motherboard. Upgrading the CPU is not possible or very difficult.

    I come to the conclusion that you will not be able to play games of new generation on this machine. The hardware specs are maybe too low a few simple games would run on this laptop but I'm sure that other newer games will not run smoothly.

  • Processor upgrade for the games.

    I have a Hp envy with a Core i7-4510u Cpu and a GeForce GTX 850 M.

    It works fairly well for the games, but I was wondering if it would be better if I swapped the Cpu for something different, and what models I could exchange it for.

    Hello

    What is your computer? It's a laptop? If so, save the money to buy the new machine because the graphics card for a normal laptop upgrade is impossible bunch of costs, more than buying a new, better machine.

  • How can I request upgrades for the game hearts on msn

    A game loved by thousands of people is to be spoiled by a few brainless who find it easy to stall, swearing, obscene suggestions, etc.. So under mining the majority who want to just get on with the game... All this when the laws of the game that these vermin respondent will be void of the game after a reasonable period of time. Second, I noticed that it is well behaved that are actually penalized by that regulation.

    I also think it would be good to know how the real score is determined as at the moment you don't really know when 100 is reached, how your score was set.

    Can somebody tell me how to reduce my guard score when I'm not acutally play I'll never reach 2,500 at this rate.

  • Pavilion dv7-6157 can be upgraded for the games?

    I bought my son the Pavilion dv7-6157nr two years ago and he has problems with graphics on the high-end gaming, he plays. They freeze or crash. It has 8 G DDR3 SDRam, 2 generation Intel Core i7 2.2 GHz - 3.10 turbo and a radeon HD 6770Ms graphics card. Video memory it says "itchable graphics"... What does that mean?  This computer can evolve in a way that would help the graphics? Y at - it a graphics card or driver upgrade? More graphics memory can be affected?

    I'm tired of hearing that suck laptops.

    Laptops are not really designed or constructed for the high end games. I doubt that adding memory will make much difference. Given that the two most important points (CPU and GPU) cannot be updated easily, it is a losing battle.

    The only other options I can suggest are...

    (1) a HP System Recovery to return the computer to a factory like State

    (2) do a clean install of WIndows 7 and try to use latest drivers for chipset manufacturers

    (3) buy a new computer that exceeds the requirements of game

    If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

  • The upgrade for the games

    Hello

    I'm looking to upgrade my PC for better quality all in game. Everything works fine but I can't leave my games from the best graphics. IM lost when it comes to graphics cards and everything necessary so I was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction. I have:

    HP Pavilion 500-214

    A8-6500 APU with Radeon AMD processor

    If any other information is needed I can provide.

    Here is a video card that has good reviews.  I suggest you read the reviews to see what users have to say about it.  You need to upgrade the power supply (PSU) If you go with a more powerful card.  The existing PSU is only 300W.  Most newer cards of mid-level require at least 400W to work properly.

    All components should be fine.

  • HP Pavilion G6: upgrade of the G6 from HP pavilion.

    Hi all. I was wondering what components I could upgrade in my 6 GB of ram, 1.7 Ghz APU Pavilion G6. I need to upgrade my proccessor running at 90% only at the start and gave zero factory it but no difference in performance. Can anyone help?

    G6-2241sa

    As suspects, it is a processor AMD E2. Here is the Service Manual:

    Manual

    It's the motherboard you have and it IS one where the processor and the motherboard are one piece.

    For use only with models of computers with processors AMD E2-1800 and Windows 8 Standard 697230-501

    The class E2 of processors is very low, as you have noticed. They are more like a netbook or Tablet processor rather than something that you want to use for the calculation of the grave. You could help the situation by increasing the memory of 8 GB (maximum) to remove the module from 2 gig you have and its replacement by a 4 GB. You could also install an SSD. You would spend about $150 between these two updates and I'm not sure it's worth. You will notice an improvement however but from memory and faster storage cannot completely lift the load from the central unit that must be part of the job and yours is just not up to the task.

    Your laptop computer case fit a half-bridge AMD or Intel motherboard but you would have to buy the motherboard and processor as well and that the cost will be well over $150 and are approaching the cost of a new phone.

  • Necessary upgrade for the games?

    I'm hoping to start playing call of Duty games on my computer dv7-3173nr laptop, and a site that I looked up says that my CPU and GPU simply are not good enough. Is it possible to upgrade so that I can play these games?

    AMd Turion II M520 CPU

    ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4200 GPU

    Hello

    Professionally! Basically, you can, with a cost, and I think that this cost can be more expensive than buying a new computer because you have to take into account:

    • New price of the card, and WHERE you can buy it because the laptop cards are not the same office maps. You can't buy any normal store,
    • Need new card system (can be),
    • Need new system of cooling because in general more powerful card pumps out more heat (you want more powerful card don't you?).
    • May need new power supply because your current diet is not suitbale for the card. (I ordered a machine with the Nvidia card and I need to order a 90W charger at the same time, not the normal charger 65W. They rejected just my order.)
    • Cost of the work (I would charge minimum 4hrs to do this, just for work, which equals a $ 960,00).
    • Packages a lot, a lot of aspirin.

    I hope this helps.

  • HP Pavilion n208tx: upgrade of the operating system using Win 8.1 Pro and pilot

    Hello

    I have n208tx with nvidia 740 m.

    I recently upgraded my OS to Win 8.1 Pro with a clean and then installed installation graphics drivers available on the site but all games or software I recognize that "Microsoft base Render driver."

    I don't have a disk recovery or on the CD and hope to set it up without it since I did not have to return to vanilla and install each driver and updated each time

    Can someone help me with this? The OS is Win 8.1 Pro without Service Pack.

    Also I would apreciate if someone could list all the numbers (i.e. spxxxxx) driver for my system because there are drivers for AMD, Intel, Ralink, Realtek etc.

    Thank you.

  • Pavilion p6150t: upgrade of the screw until the resolution of the monitor.

    I just upgraded my p6150t (originally running Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit) Windows 7 Home Premium 64 - bit using the upgrade disc provided by HP at the time of purchase. The upgrade went well, except that HP Update was no longer on the system after the upgrade. In the case the opposite (even without running upgrade HP), Win 7 works well.

    However, I have a monitor Dell S2209W capable of running at a resolution of 1920 x 1200. With Vista, I could set my display at this resolution. However, with Windows 7, I can only set the resolution to 1280 x 800. I have the original disk for the Dell monitor, but it won't install the driver on this system with Win 7 (same result during the download of the latest version of the driver from the Dell Web site).

    For Vista, the graphics driver on the HP site for this computer has been for NVIDIA GeForce 6210.  But for Windows 7, graphics drivers only listed for this computer is of course ATI unified (in addition to the Intel graphics) driver. As the original graphic card is not ATI, an updated NVIDIA driver would solve this problem?

    Any other suggestions would be welcome.

    Thank you.

    Correction: it's Nvidia GEForce G210, NO 6210.

    In addition, for Win Vista, both the unified ATI graphics card and the drivers for graphic card NVIDIA GeForce G210 are listed, but for Win 7, only the ATI driver is listed.

    Sorry for the confusion.

    Hi there @Les

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support! It's a good place to find the help you need, so many other users, the HP experts and other members of the support staff. I understand that you are having problems of display resolution after the upgrade to Windows 7 from Vista. I'm happy to help you with this.

    In response to your question, Yes, because it is a desktop computer you can try the driver directly from NVidia and test it.  You can also try to use the HP Support Assistant and see if she can find the updated or compatible drivers for your system hardware.
    HP Support Assistant
    With the help of HP Support Assistant (Windows 7, Windows Vista)

    Or the other choice is worth trying. I'm curious to hear your results.

    Unfortunately NO, you need to replace the motherboard also because the existing APU is a "413-Ball BGA FT1" which is soldered to the motherboard:
