I need to make my video card to an ATI Raedon 6950; Power, size, and other required upgrades?
I have a HP Pavilion HPE210y desktop with quad AMD Phenom (tm) II x 4 945 processor, 8 GB of Ram and an ATI Raedon 5450 to 512 MB, and am under Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit...
If I buy the ATI Raedon 6950, are there other improvements will also need to be updated, such as the power supply (I don't know how to find this information), or if that card to insert in the case (I read others with a similar concern), and I don't know if I have a PCIe (x 16) expansion slot capable of taking the card. And if it is PCIe 3.0 or 2.0. Based on the age of the computer, it is probably 2.0 (this is around the age of 15 months). Am I limited to the purchase of the 1024 Ram the Raedon 6950 Mg, where can I get the 2048?
I have three open above the current graphics card expansion slots, but am not sure if the length must be a matter of concern.
Any thoughts?
Thank you
Hi Kitt,
AMD is showing only 500 watts. The CX500 Corsair will work.

I need to make a video gallery along the busy, but my videos are about 30 minutes each and that they do not matter in my composition, when I try to import them, they freeze edge lead and I have to force quit.

You would need to host or to use a service to broadcast them elsewhere and then use this service (IE youtube) to create the iframe code to move them into your computer.

You will need to update the video card in my hp a1240n.
We have an integrated video card, but I need graphis better to play better games. Can I install a geforce 8400 gs?
Wisterial, welcome to the forum.
Yes, you can upgrade to a PCI (NOT PCI Express 16 x or AGP) 8400 GS. You have only three PCI slots. Now for the things to consider. You should check the power of the power supply unit (PSU). You can do this by opening the case and by reading the label on. The 8400 GS I found required a minimum of 300W. If your PSU is equal or greater to 250W, this one would work. Most of the manufacturers overstate the power necessary for the performance of their cards.
There are many PCI cards available, but they are not very good for the games. If you buy one, you should consider switching at least 2 GB of memory, too. Crucial is a good place to buy it.

Satellite Pro L10 - need info on compatible video cards
I'm looking to upgrade my laptop with a nvidia Geoforce 7600 or 7900 graphics card.
I just wanted to check if there was any problems of compatibility/installation?
See you soon
Hi Johnny
You can search for compatible graphics cards until you die ;) and you will not succeed :(
Why?... because portable computers cannot be upgraded with a different graphics card.
The graphics card is attached to the motherboard and it s not removable on a simple passerby!That is why don t waste a time for any upgrade GPU! If you need then computer to play latest games I would not recommend buying a desktop PC as desktop PC parts are easy removable and you can upgrade the parts such as the CPU and GPU on a simple way!

I am totally lost and spent two hours trying to figure this out. I just bought the sims 3 and when I try to play said: device 0 cannot run this title. Your video card does not support at least Shader Model 2. Please update your card.
I tried to update my drivers but to no avail. I have no idea what to do here, can anyone help please? I just want to play this game!Your video card is basic it is perfect for office 2D work which is what this laptop was designed for. It is not suitable for playing games and video chip does not respect the Sims 3 system requirements. There is nothing you can do about it. This isn't a limitation of software (drivers), but a physical limitation (this video card cannot play this game). MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

Need advice on the video card / power supply upgrade
OK, first of all I am a novice to PC. But I have a HP pavilion a6600f. I wan to be able to play games like Battlefield BC2 but graphics integrated card wont cut it. I checked some info and found what motherboard I have. Its a FOXCONN Napa HP P/N. There is a link to the Board of Directors in case it might help you to answer my question. http://www.cnsunnyit.com/products/HP-motherboard-KJ383-69002_78.html
This motherboard is a card like a GeForce 7800 GT or ATI X 1900? These cards are what is suggested as a Minimum for this game. Also maps would require me to get a 400W power supply. The power supply can be changed as well? All the answers you may have would be great. Also remember that I know very little in terms of pc in order to keep its simple for a simpleton like me. Thank you!
Hi 223fmj,
You came to the right place.
Yes, you can update your graphics card. More than all that depends on ports inside your PC. Depending on your motherboard (HP) card , you can install PCI Express x 16 graphics cards.

My computer has an nvidia 9800 gt. Since then, a week ago that I am unable to play a video game, or use windows media center. If I ever start a video game or windows media center the program crashes and I get the error message, "nvlddmkm.sys has stopped responding and has recovered." A few times, I get a message from the blue screen and the computer needs to restart. I reinstalled the drivers and even restored software from my computer to the original factory condition. A year ago I noticed my computer screen would get dark, as if I was wearing sunglasses. I want to restart my computer and the screen would be normal again. I was wondering if my video card burned to some, and if I need a new video card. The average temperature of my videocard 76 degrees Celsius, is 167 degrees Fahrenheit.
Hello
The best sources of information would be Nvidia Support, their documentation online and their
forums. Try to remove ANY power and reseating the cables (both ends, memory and cards
When possible) - in fact, remove and replace - do not just tight. Clean the dust bunnies
and vents. Make sure that the internal fans are working and trying to use a small fan to blow
directly into the inlet to see if that helps.NVIDIA - drivers - use OPTION 1 to manually enter your info driver to get the most recent drivers.

I have recently upgraded to Windows 8 32-bit with the free media player option and I get action center notifications telling me that I need to update the drivers. Could someone tell me where I could get them or maybe Microsoft will release a fix for this problem? In addition, the machine I'm using is a HP media Center PC. hope this is enough information for someone to help him?
Hi Roger,
Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community!
I understand that you will be notified of Action Center to update the video card driver.
Please more information on the option of free windows media player.
I suggest you to manually update the driver from Device Manager.
Update Device Manager graphics card readers:
(a) press on the Windows key + R, type devmgmt.msc.
(b) extend the graphics cards.
(c) click on Properties, click the driver tab.
(d) click the Update driver button.
(e) click on the OK button.
I suggest you to download and install the latest drivers for Windows 8 from the link below.

video card (recommended 300 watts) with the power supply only of 280 watts max.
What are the risks of having a video card which recommends 300 watts connected to a computer that has only 280 watts? The only risk I know is maybe crashing, freezing and restarting the computer. It will damage also any hardware in the computer?
Yes, you may damage other components as well as the video card. It is quite inexpensive and easy enough to replace a power supply with a new supporting material you want to run. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

Diablo III runs slow on my pc, not that I need to update my video card and power supply
I have a HP Pavilion p6523w. I can run diablo 3, but it is extremely slow and I guess that choppy looking. I tried to work with blizzard on the problem, but it's slow going. I have looked and can't find anything concrete, but feel that my video chip can simply don't have the necessary ooomphh. But before I go out and spend money on things I didn't need. I thought someone here might be able to help out me.
:-)
Yes - but what happens if you want a better card next year that requires 550W?
OK this requirements are without physical limits at all - it also depends on what you have changed or that you want to change next to the graphics card - an additional audio card? Other cards? A second HDD? Another drive?Just check out what is offered, if you can get a 550W without much more money, then take it. Look for a big fan - he will be more silencer/cooler.
It will of course make no sense to take a 1000W for an additional card.Look at what is offered in your area.
Maybe Enermax, Thermaltake?Check tests of the computer sites.

I have a TravelMate 6592 G and you need to replace the video card.
The original card is ATI Radeon X 2300 - H, which is no longer manufactured. Can someone tell me what the map is compatible now?
Hello
Unfortunately, you have a discrete graphics (Mobility Radeon HD 2400 XT) on the motherboard.
This means that you need a new motherboard. It is not a graphics card for this model.

How and where can need to update video card, so that will support WDDM - I get updates?
I have windows Vista Premium - I don't know if it's a 32-bit or 64-bit. I need to upgrade the video card or update the driver; maybe both. Where should I go to access the update so that I can fully enjoy Microsoft Media Center.
You need to update the video card driver (if an update exists) from the web site of the manufacturer of the video card (support and/or driver download section of their web page.)
First of all understand what architecture of Windows Vista you are using: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/32-bit-and-64-bit-Windows-frequently-asked-questions
Second figure on what video card, you have to download, install and run the Belarc Advisor free tool and view in his section of the display. There are several other ways - but I think the more information you can get right now - the better. I would like to print the results and store your documentation system, system software and backups in a safe place
Third - visit the manufacturer's Web site for drivers for the make and model of video card you have.
