HP Pavilion p6505f video card upgrade

I couldn't find another post for this model, so I create a new one to ask for help.

My mom has a HP Pavilion p6505f I want to upgrade for it, specifically the video card. She recently bought. It seems that the power supply is only 250watts, so I guess that will have to be upgraded. I need the machine to be able to play WoW at a decent rate. I am interested if anyone has recommendations on a good video card for the power of this system and recommendations (will fit a generic, or what I should order from HP? and what power range should I aim for, 500 +?). The computer came with a lot of RAM (4 GB) and a lot of space (1 to).

Thanks for any help!

A standard ATX power supply should work.

You need to open your PC and measure the physical dimensions of your diet.  Here is a list of the things to consider:

  1. Specifications
  2. Total power - important
  3. amperage 12 + v - important
  4. Modular - is not required, but I like the flexibility
  5. Warranty
  6. I7 and SLI ready
  7. Efficiency rating
  8. Cost
  9. The physical size - standard ATX PSU is 5.5 "by 5.9" by 3.4 "give or take a few tenths

www.Newegg.com has many choices of power supplies.  Corsair, OCZ, Rosewill, Thermaltake...

Of Corsair HX Series is a good choice.  I prefer NVIDIA 4xx because the card is only 8.25 inches long.

Review the specifications of performance ATI and NVIDIA . Look at the specifications of strip memory bandwidth and level of DirectX support.

I bought the Corsair HX 650 and installed will detect a problem.  I am also using the NVIDIA GTX 460 w/256 bit memory interface.

    I have a Pavilion a6200n that I'm fixing to the top for my son. I want to upgrade the video card to something like that

    "EVGA GeForce 210 Passive 1024 MB DDR3 PCI Express DVI/HDMI/VGA USB2.0 graphic card"

    I know that I need to upgrade the PSU also, but this card would work with the system?

    Tanks for your advice.

    Uroboros1200, welcome to the forum.

    I think that the card should work without any problems.  However, because it requires only 300W to work correctly, I suggest buying the card and try it with the current power supply (PSU).  The worst that will happen is that the system does not start.  When you do that, you replace the power supply.  The manufacturers recommend more power need to protect themselves.

  • HP Pavilion A6528P video card upgrade?

    My HP is 3 years old and has been a good solid computer.

    My only problem is the poor video performance while playing world of Warcraft. I can still play with the graphics set to the lowest, but I was planning to splurge on an upgrade. I would try and find out the best game.

    My problem is that it's the embedded video and I'm not good with parts and replacement. I would like specific advice and help that what follows:

    1. what video card can I switch to (minimal cost and ease of installation)?

    2. will I need to upgrade the processor or the fan as well?

    3. are there places that perform installation relatively easily for me (I'd be scared he bust)

    Your patience and your expertise is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    Jenant, welcome to the forum.

    1.) before considering upgrading the video card, you need to upgrade the power supply (PSU).  The current PSU is only 250W.  Any video card that would go with this small amout of power would not be much better, if at all, as the integrated video.  I like Corsair and OCZ PSU.  You will want to purchase a video card that is 9 "long or less.  I like XFX, BFG, EVGA, Sapphire and PNY in that order.

    (2.) the processor and the fan should be fine.

    3.) these two components are fairly easy to install.  The PSU is the most difficult of them.  Make sure to mark where the cables are connected to the power supply current.  This will make it easier to install the new cables.  The video card is the easiest of all the components to install.

    There are many videos on the Internet showing you how to install both.  Here is a guide to build a computer on Newegg.

    http://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=lPIXAtNGGCw

    There are two parts, so watch both.  They will give you a good idea how to install the power supply and the video card.  I know that you're probably not ready to try a build on your own, but they will give some good information.

    If you want recommendations for both, let me know.

  • Pavilion p7 - 1226 s video card upgrade

    Summary:

    I want to improve my system with the highest rated PassMark reference video card that my system will support with my current 300W power supply.

    Details:

    I bought a new Pavilion p7 - 1226 s last month with the intention of upgrading the system with more memory, another hard drive internal and a new card video - over time. I'm not a power user; I just want to keep my skills in the game with these actions.

    The last system I upgraded has been focused on the PCI so I was excited about the capabilities of PCI-E 2.0 of this system for the video upgrade. I considered the 300W PSU to be of sufficient size to allow a decent upgrade. I went to Nvidia.

    I believe that the integrated video (HD 2000?) in my system of registers somewhere between 245 and 375 refers.

    The Geforce GT 430 and 440 again specify a power of 300W. Their notes are respectively 667 and 830.

    I wonder if my system will support these cards.  So, I write this way. If it is not, my question then becomes "what video card my system will support? Double width would be perfect. There seems to be a lot of physical space of the card.

    I think that most video cards specify not only power but rated current. These current ratings can be anywhere from 12 to 22 amps at 12 volts amps. I was also unsuccessful in discovering what could be the p7 power supply 12V rated current.

    I searched this forum briefly and I am impressed with many of the answers. I know there are some really smart people out there who can help me. Thank you in advance.

    My target price on sale at Fry Electronics is about $75. I am running Windows 7 64 bit. Thanks again

    Hello

    The amperages are additive for the dimensioning of power which only has some relationship to what the video card needs.  Video card manufacturers want to head because they don't really know how everyone PC is configured and just how hard the graphics card will be used.

    I change this link for the HP of the above items. I was never in this place so I do not know how the address was mutilated.

    Also far than the 545 NVIDIA goes, stick with the card HP as it is designed for a 300 Watt power supply.  I suspect that the retail sector 545 work but safe, stick with the HP 545.

    And also if I might well want to ask you if it is possible to update my video card, to give me some recommendations or the same list of compatible video card for my laptop designs.

    Any help would be really greatly apreciated!

    Kind regards

    No there is no way to upgrade your video card. This isn't a card at all but just a chip soldered to the motherboard. The video card, you have found and ask the subject for a very expensive high-end gaming machine which has the equivalent of a pci-e slot on the motherboard called MXM laptop. Your laptop has such without crack and no place to plug such a card.

  • HP-Pavilion Elite 410y: the video card upgrade

    Can I switch my video of a 6500 R7-200 series card?

    Yes.

    It is snly if you buy a model that has a legacy BIOS compatibility.

    Sapphiretech cards that have inherited the BIOS compatibility and some who have actually a physical switch on the map to allow switching between UEFI and compatibility existing BIOS. See the catalogue following Sapphiretech.

    http://www.sapphiretech.com/productdetial.asp?pid=2339BD93-8F69-4B7C-97FE-769DE2C3BDBF & lang = eng

    R7 of the Radeon HD 200 series video cards requires a single PCIe power connector 6 pin. Your office has not been handed over with a power supply that feeds it, then you must also upgrade the PSU. Choose a nice modular unit by a manufacturer as a Corsair. The generator units are highly regarded and reasonably priced

  • HP Pavilion H8-1017 cb: video card upgrade or get a new computer

    I plan to install a new video card and power supply to support a monitor 43 "UHD or buy a gaming computer brand new with GTX 970.   What is the best video card compatible with my computer and the motherboard to work with UHD?

    Also, would I waste my time to upgrade my current computer or saving a ton of money with great results?

    You can upgrade to a powerful video card, but there are a few things you need to know and do.

    Motherboard of your desktop came a generation before UEFI and only allows the installation of video cards that support legacy BIOS sound.  This means that you can install a video card that has inherited the BIOS support or a physical switch that allows the choice of the BIOS UEFI\Legacy.  Otherwise only video card BIOS UEFI will not be recognized under the current name of your card motherboard BIOS and the PC does not past the MESSAGE at startup, even in the BIOS.

    You will need to install a power supply (Corsair or another brand of enthiusiast) who will provide at least 400-450 watts of high quality. The PSU mus also delivered with power connectors 6\8 PCIe pins for the video card. Check the configuration required for video cards of candidate you are watching.

    Sapphire and MSI both make video cards that have a switch and they also make video cards that support the old BIOS only. It's a little more difficult to discern what MSI video card support the BIOS strives.

  • Pavilion 9220y video card update

    Hello
    I was hoping that an expert can help me upgrade/configure a new video card for a desktop HP Pavilion Elite 9220y.

    I have done the research to shed light on the issue, but would REALLY appreciate some help!

    So just that the machine has now integrated ATI Radeon HD 4350 - that it comes with, who I am is of course very well for the casual user, but I want a massive update to play new games.  Unfortunately, I'm stuck with this computer, so I can't build a new machine custom, so I just want to update my video card today... the rest of the system works very well if.

    My questions are:

    • Can I upgrade the video card on this specific computer HP Pavillion 9220y?
    • I read that I can replace the card using the PCIex16 slot? but is this slot PCI-E 1.0 or 2.0?  I could not find in the sheets...
    • If so, what kind of cards are compatible with it and are good for games?
    • I buy a power supply additionanl to run the additional power demand?  If so, what is a good thing that will work for the 9220y? http://www.Newegg.com/store/subcategory.aspx?subcategory=58&name=power-supplies

    It's just a lot to wrap around my head and I want to make sure I go about it the right way, before you update or buy anything!
    Again, any help would be appreciated more
    Steve

    Hi Steve,.

    1. Yes, you can install a video card in your PC.

    2. the discrete graphics card will move into the slot PCI-E x 16.  HP is not posting slot PCI-E card, but a video designed to the 2.0 PCI card will normally be backward compatible with the PCI 1.x ports.

    3 game cards have different levels of performance and your choice will depend on the game being used and set of parameters. Check out forum and the game manufacturer's web site and see what others are using.

    4. more decent video cards will require a bigger power supply.  The p9220y has only a 300 Watt power supply.

    Here are the specifications of the motherboardfor the p9220y. Since most of the better video cards are wider than normal single slot card, then adjacent locations on the PCI-E x 16 slot must be vacant.

    I make a few suggestions, but I'm really in the dark about your playing conditions.

    TheCorsair CX600should have enough power for most video cards.

    TheNVIDIA GTX 550 TIshould have enough power for most video games with the higher settings. Screen resolution is a factor of performance.

    You need to open your PC and measure the physical dimensions of your diet.  Here is a list of the things to consider:

    1. Specifications
    2. Total power - important
    3. amperage 12 + v - important

    7. Efficiency rating
    8. Cost
    9. The physical size - standard ATX PSU is 5.5 "by 5.9" by 3.4 "give or take a few tenths
    10. Only one + 12 volt rail is a better choice.

  • 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.

  • Video card upgraded to Pwr power needs

    I recently bought the Pavilion a6857c desktop computer. Found out later that the onboard video Intel G33/G31 Express Chipset does not satisfy my video needs. I bought GTX 285 Nvidia card would be improper because of the location of the SATA cards. They are in the way. SATA 0-5 and 0 and 1 are used by DVD and HD right where'd the vid card. Exchanged for the XFX NVIDIA GeForce 9600 GT and found I need new pwr supply. I never did an upgrade of the pwr supply.  Duo Quad Intel running. What are the limits of the motherboard Asus IPIBL-LB Benicia-GL8E? Power current pwr has 4 pwr pin cables, not pin 6 required.

    Any suggestions or links would be appreciated

    The motherboard is not really the problem. You could improve the food, but probably don't really need. For a 6 pins for the video card, you can simply get a molex (power to drive hard white ide) to the adapter card video pci-e 6 pin. Here's a web page showing one of England, but it gives the idea:

    Adapter

    If you want to get a new power supply, it is a simple upgrade; usually 4 screws hold the power supply to the case and you just remove the screws, drop the power supply, disconnect the connections, replace with new PSU connectors (one by one so everything's in the right place) and bolt the new one in place.

    You can spend silly money for a power supply, but the best is to go to newegg.com and do some comparison shopping. Personally, I like Antec power supplies but it is a matter of taste, really. ANTECs are widely sold in the same office business as Staples. A power 500 w is probably all that you really need to and more or less no matter what else you buy directly in a box will have all the connectors you need.

  • HP TouchSmart 300-1120: the video card upgrade

    I came into possession of a HP Touchsmart 300-1120. I do not use not for the games just the navigation and use to watch movies when traveling through Plex home theater.

    I've updated the CPU to an Athlon X 4 605th & maxed out the RAM 8 GB. I noticed that I can upgrade the video card using the Mobile PCI Express Module slot.  Even though I know that the GPU Radeon HD 3200 onboard can handle HD videos, he hangs out considerably. even though I have the film on the hard drive.

    So the question is, where can find one of these cards. And is there a way to upgrade the PSU?

    Hi, I would like to upgrade the video card in this PC HP but I think that there is a limited space.  I think like a 750ti which is the closer the physical map of the factory installed measures.  I would upgrade to a proper diet.

    Thank you

    @Cebos, welcome to the forum.

    I believe that this EVGA GTX 750Ti should register in the area without any problem.  If you don't want this card, you can measure from the port of e/s back on the front of the case where the card will be installed to see if another card adapt.  The essence is to ensure there is enough space to provide for good air circulation.

    @ShepardPotato, welcome to the forum.

    The problem that you have with the upgrade the video card is the power supply unit (PSU).  It's only 180W.  Most new video cards require a minimum of 400 w to work properly.  You should check to see if a stanard ATX PSU will enter in the space provided for the existing power supply.  If there is enough space, this power supply should work.  You should get this one measures of the plug.

    When you upgrade the PSU, here is a video card that will make what you need.  If you need more information, you should contact the manufacturer's Technical Support.
