HP Pavilion p6204y Desktop PC - graphics card upgrade

http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/product?product=4081965&LC=en&cc=us&DLC=en&lang=en&tmp_track_link...

Hello

I wanted to update my video card so I could play some of the new upcoming games (i.e. Diablo 3).  I am not computer savy, so I don't know what a good video card, and whether or not my computer can run or space for her.  I was hoping that my current hardware would be good and all I had to do was my video card.  Please advise a good videocard to upgrade to and whether or not, everything else would look good on my computer.  I was told that I may need to upgrade my diet as well.  Thanks for all the help in advance!

Please note that I expected to do this without spending a ton of money as well... not sure of the price for the good cards.

Hi m24.

The Radeon 6850 is a map of 127 watts maximum.  The NVIDIA 460 I use in my e9280t's map of 160 watts. There will be major heat problems as long as the PC is not in restricted airspace (Cabinet).   Maximum, this means that the fans will be silent.

    I just checked the specs for Farcry 4 and your machine should run perfectly. I just wanted to point out that this graphics card is very nice and that it will not restrict your computer somehow. Your motherboard and processor are still going strong, even if they are not as new and shiney as your new graphics card. Good luck in your game!

  • (HPE h8-1120 desktop computer) graphics card upgrade

    For now, I have a desktop HPE h8-1120 and there a GT 530. I want to upgrade to a better graphics card. I'll be able to upgrade to an EVGA GTX 670? (Will adapt and everything?) If so, what food should I upgrade to?

    You should be able to upgrade to a GTX 670 but first read Guide of Dave_G of selection of a discrete video card for more information on the subject. Corsair CX500, or CX600 are good choices for power supplies and are known to adapt to most cases of HP.

    Hello

    I have a HP Pavilion p6110f Desktop PC, what is the best graphic card for this computer for gaming? Thank you

    It seems reasonable to me. I think that the 460W should work but if you can get a 550W for just a little more, you should consider it.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Desktop HP Pavilion 500-342nem: can I upgrade my desktop computer hp pavilion 500 with the graphics card AMD RX 480 replacing edge R7

    I plan to upgrade my hp pavilion 500-342nem, who was already A7 graphical 240 with the new 480 RX.

    Is it possible to upgrade both the power supply and graphics card?

    There will be no problem of compatibility (PSU Corsair CX 500 questioned?.)

    I heard a lot of chatter on hp restricting the upgrade of their pc.

    The new card will work?

    Any help will be apppreciated.

    @Jeffrin98, welcome to the forum.

    I cannot find the specs of the product to the computer.  So, here's what you need to do.  Press Start + R from the view of the office.  This will open a run dialog box.  In the box labeled type msinfo32 opened.  In the page that opens, check the option titled Mode BIOS.  If he says UEFI motherboard is supported by the video card.  If this isn't the case, you will not be able to move forward.

    The next step is to measure the space where the card will be installed to ensure that it fits.  Measure from the back i/o port to the front of the case.  This will allow you to see if other ingredients will limit the installation.

    The CX500 Corsair power supply (PSU) should work.  However, check how much power requires the video card.  It may be better to buy a PSU with 600W.  High power will be used during peak power needs.  In addition, the card may require additional power connectors.  Also, I recommend a modular power supply.  It allows you to use only the cables that are absolutely necessary, create better air circulation.  It is very important with more powerful graphics cards.  The heat can be much larger.

  • 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.

  • The HP Pavilion Elite 340uk graphics card upgrade

    Hi guys, im using a HP Pavilion Elite 340uk desktop computer that came with a Geforce GT320 video card. The map is gone... dead disappeared and I'm looking for a better replacement. Can I get some suggestions of compatible with my motherboard (MS-7613) graphics cards. ? So, if I change this card with a better, should I upgrade of feeding as well? Thanks for your help.

    Hello:

    My recommendation would be to get a GT430... you won't need to change the P/S.

    Just make sure you get one with an interface 128-bit for the best performance memory (I think there may be a few models with a 64-bit memory interface).

    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.
