I have a Pavilion dv6 laptop and I want to upgrade the graphics card

I'm the product: HP Pavilion dv6t - b 6, 00 CTO Quad Edition Entertainment Notebook PC

Product number: QJ912AV #ABA

Operating system: Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit)

Graphics factory-installed: Radeon HD 6490 m + Intel(r) HD Graphics Family (but I spend the Intel 3000 drivers)

My graphics were problems since I got my laptop and I didn't realize what a few months after when I did a check on why my graphics running on low FPS. I called customer service and they could not solved the problem, so I started to do the research and updating my drivers for each of them and switching them too. I have finally fixed them and instead to run Minecraft on 22 FPS, I was there at more than 60 FPS.

Now, this graphics card is good and all, but there are not adapted to the new games (and I've had this laptop 1 year). What don't get me, is why HP installs some old graphics chips in a new laptop. in any case, I want to see what I can put in the new card. I really want to install and Nvidia 650 m, but I don't know because I don't have any information on my motherboard and it is manufactured by HP. Why I want to improve it is because that 1.) This chip sucks and can't play the games of 2005 and more than 2). He cannot run newer games like I'm a player PC of BF3. I get a strong brand of 28 FPS on BF3-ultimate low quality on this game, he reached sometimes 30 but not much. I want this thing to run as good as my game desktop computer that is custom built, so I really want to know what works with this laptop.

Please help me to know what works so I'll be better satisfied with HP products.

Read this document. This has been implemented by one of the community experts (erico).

The answer is usually going to be no upgrade that has been done on the graphics card as this is usually soldered to the motherboard and designed to work with specific chipsets. The fact that this example uses the switchable graphics actually still less likely. I'm sorry.

PC hardware is changing at a rapid pace, so you get a day probably will be obsolete in a few months if not sooner. I personally ordered a laptop and there was already a new model of the series which has a better processor and graphics card to this topic. Alas, I was outside the return period and could not take advantage of the new model.

This largely depends on the software used, but cell phones are not usually able to achieve the same performance as a desktop game PC. My laptop performs as well as my office during playback of half-life 2, but there is a big difference when I play Crysis. The experience will depend on how the program is written and how the game engine is optimized. It varies from game to game.

    Hello

    Here are the specs of your machine:

    He uses: Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 4500 M, which is soldred to the motherboard so practically you can not change because you have to change the motherboard, to buy the new video card, to change the cooling system... all adding up will cost more than a new machine.

  • I have a HP Pavilion a1615.uk and I want to upgrade the hardware to run a 64-bit operating system.

    I have a HP Pavilion a1615.uk (RF783AA) and I want to upgrade the hardware so I can install a 64-bit operating system. What should I do to make a 64-bit system? It is an upgrade of the bios or it means new equipment?

    Thank you very much

    Hello

    Normally, for modern machines we only need the 64 bit operating system itself and the drivers appropriate to go with it. There is no need to upgrade the hardware except we may want more RAM to use the 64 bit OS.

    In your case, the machine is too old, my suggestion is to buy a new machine. In the long run, can be cheaper than buying part and piece of component to upgrade the existing.

    Kind regards

  • I have a Pavilion Elite m9340f. I want to update my graphics card

    I have a Pavilion Elite m9340f and I was wondering if I could update my graphics card and if so what would be a good choice. Also can I upgrade my power supply?  A friend told me that I could not, because it's a computer brand, but thought I would ask someone with knowledge.  Thank you.

    Robert, here is a link to the "Product information" pages for your computer:

    http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/prodinfoCategory?LC=en&DLC=en&cc=us&lang=en&product=3740326

    These pages will give you all the specifications of your computer.

    Yes, you can upgrade your video card.  First, you want to make sure that there is enough room for one of the new cards to fit.  You can find this information on the manufacturer's website.  I would say we could use until a 9800GT.  I think the cards are 9 "up to 10.5".  I like XFX, BFG or EVGA cards.  They are geared toward players and are of high quality.  My favorite is XFX.

    Now for your power supply power supply unit (PSU).  It can also be upgraded.  the key is to open the case and measure the existing unit.  To ensure that new fits, it should be very close to the same size.  Most ATX units are pretty close to the same size.  I recommend at least a 600W unit.  This is what I have in my game rig:

    http://www.Newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=N82E16817341001

    Again, OCZ is a company that is geared to the players and fans.  They have very reliable products.  I have one in their PSU and memory.

    One last thought, a new video card will generate more heat.  Thus, some cables will be very useful.  Simply run all cables so that they do not restrict the airflow to all components.

    I hope this helps.

    I have a HP p6653w desktop computer. Can I upgrade my video card and what is the best card to get to the games?

    mathenson,

    You can update the video, install any PCIEx16 card video and the new PSU (power supply).

    The general answer is based on the games you play. It is best to search for the site of the game, reading the recommended list 'graphics card '. Then add a little more.

    graphics card comparison site. http://www.hwcompare.com/6232/Radeon-HD-5670-vs-Radeon-HD-6950-2GB/

    Each graphics card is then looked up, noting the length of the card connectors (power cards) required recommended PSU.

    Example: XFX HD6950 2 GB:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150530

    (1) two PCIE 6pin power wires

    (2) card 10 "

    (3) min 500W PSU, if you add up.  Your 250W + card + fresh 200W generals = 600W

    630W PSU will fix the wiring and size http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817182200

  • I want to upgrade the graphics card in my computer and I don't know if they are of the type I need more

    I want to upgrade the Visual memory of 96,0 MB so I can run my game better. It would help if someone could possibly give me a source of where to get one that would be great thanks

    If you don't have a graphics card then it is integrated into the motherboard as you say. If it is a very old motherboard, it may be a good idea to get a newer computer with a good graphics card in it. If it's a newer motherboard, you should check if it has a PCI slot, and if so, you could probably buy a graphics card yourself and put it in your computer. Anyway, you should probably talk to savvy friends computer you have, who should be able to tell you which way you should look at.

    This is a power supply that will work for you:

    http://www.Newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=N82E16817139048

    It is modular allowing you to use only the necessary cables.  This means that there is more room inside the circulation of air.  He is also a 600W which will give you extra power for the possible future upgrades.  Any block of power SUPPLY Corsair will be good.  They are fans of the quality products for a reasonable price.

    Hello:

    Graphics cards cannot be updated simply.

    You will need to replace the motherboard with another which would have better graphics (if available for your model).

    This would cost as much buying a new laptop, so it is probably not a good idea to undertake such a venture.

  • Pavilion p7-1154: upgrading the graphics card

    Hello

    I want to buy the graphics card NVIDIA 9800GT for graphic design. But before I buy it I would like to know it it is possible to be used on the PC console.

    I guess I have to upgrade the power supply and maybe the motherboard also.

    Please let me know in what concerns the 9800GT what PS and motherboard that I should purchase, if any, that would be adapted to the console. I have Pavilion p7-1154.

    Thank you and best regards

    Illustrator has requirements listed here.   The card mother's only Legacy BIOS, so I would stay with WIN 7, get an EVGA GTX 660 or 670.  It was the last of the EVGA legacy known cards.  The GTX 670 will draw 170W, then I would say once again a Corsair CX600. IT has perfect fit and is better than the recommended 500W unit inactive.

    Graphics cards are built into the motherboard or welded on the map. No way you're good to upgrade. It is best to go ask that with your areas of interest.
