Improved Xw6200 ro Win8, need to update the graphics card - advice please?

Hello

Recently upgraded to Win 8 on workstation HP xw6200 of my son.  The graphics (Nvidia Quadro NVS 55/280 PCI) card no longer works and I understand that this card is not supported.

Can anyone suggest a suitable and inexpensive replacement? There are has four locations the same (we have the current map in), a PCI-Express x 16 (graphics) and a PCI-Express x 8 Prime slot * below.  Both are empty at the moment.  The * explanantion is 'PCI-Express x 8 main connector that has x 4 bandwidth'.

I've never changed before PC components, but a google search suggests it is relatively simple... If this isn't the case, please also scream!

Thanks in advance

Kevin

You can go to the nvidia site to find if there is a driver for it also W8 should have detected and it did mine before I realized it was the same thing that nvidia had so I guess w8 is a driver search to get the drivers for it... http://www.nvidia.com/content/global/global.php

    Hello:

    Unfortunately, the video card is unable to be upgraded in your model specifications, or most any other laptop by the way.

    The integrated video chip is soldered on the motherboard and it uses system memory. Video chips even discreet are normally part of the motherboard and cannot be changed.

    Hello

    No, it s not possible to update the graphics card to another.
    As you certainly know, the laptop technology is not the same as the desktop PC simply. It s the motherboard technology all just different. You know that heat is a bigger problem for every laptop and generally of designer, developer and manufacturing. In addition, the various interfaces are not equal.

    For example: what do you think, why Intel doesn't produce chips with speeds of 10 GHz, 100GHz, or 1000GHz. Because of the heat.

    I think that the graphics card performance will produce more heat, and this could lead to overheating problems.
    The other graphics card needs another module of cooling and the cooling module must be compatible with the motherboard. Everything needs to be changed (the case design, interfaces, etc.) before the upgrade might be possible. In my view it is simply not possible at the moment.

    The graphics card is attached to the motherboard and it of not possible to remove it in a simple way.

    I have always recommended to use the computer to play the game!
    If you need the computer for hardcore games you should buy a desktop computer.
    Why? Because the latest games need for most fastest graphics card and the desktop PC can be upgraded much easily as a laptop.

    But finally it of your choice what you use ;)

    Here are the specs of your computer CQ5210F. Based on these specifications, you can install a PCIe x 16 graphics. Also, unless your replacement card does not require more than one power supply 250 watt system, you will need to upgrade your diet as well.

    "Just in case someone else has this problem - I found this problem solved my AMD Radeon HD 6670 and it might work here:

    1. open the Device Manager;

    3. Update device driver;

    This fix worked for me, even if after the update of v 1.20 WDDM driver, I had to then restart the laptop, then Device Manager showed that the AMD driver would only begin. I used the same process above a second time, but this term you choose driver AMD of origin (at the top of the list of drivers) to update manually.

  • Satellite A100-207: is it possible to update the graphics card for games

    Hello

    I am looking to buy the laptop Toshiba A100-207 and it comes with 128 MB shared graphics.

    I would like to play games and I was wondering if I could update the graphics (for example, a nvidia card I could buy and put in) or the fixed graphics?

    I just want to know if I am able to upgrade?

    Thank you

    Hello

    In my opinion the graphics card or processor is not welded on the new generation of mobile phones. The parts must be simply plugged into the card.
    But this does not change the status of the upgrade.
    Eventually, you will be able to remove the graphics card but I m sure that you will have problems of compatibility with other hardware.

    Fastest graphics card produces more heat and the temperature will automatically increase to a higher level. This would lead to overheating in the question and the laptop would be either closed or not starts.
    PC desktop technology is simply different as on laptops. You can also compare different graphics cards. Laptop factory uses only graphics card chips what don t supports a clean cooling module.

    It simply says s not possible to update the graphics card.

    Hello

    The laptop supports a graphic chip Intel HD 4000.
    Usually, you could use and download the page Intel graphics driver.

    http://Downloadcenter.Intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?lang=eng & changeLang = true & dId = 22376 DWNL

    It is the zip package.
    To update the driver unzip the package first.
    Then go to Device Manager, choose the graphics card, choose set to update driver.
    Now you must point to the unzipped folder containing the driver files.
    Apply and finish :)

  • Looking to update the graphics card in my Dell XPS 8900 EVGA GeForce GTX 960.

    I have a Dell XPS 8900 Special Edition that I bought a few months ago. I want to upgrade the OEM GeForce 745 of GTX that it came with an EVGA GTX 960.

    I have the Dell XPS 8900 (processor i7 - 6700 k), 32 GB of memory, 2 TB HDD + SSD of 32 GB m2, monitor cache Dell UP2516D and Windows 10 Pro. I'll add a second monitor Dell UP2516D soon and later add an SSD and move the OS and applications on.

    My needs are not at stake. I mainly business applications (MS-Office, including access and project), finance and investment, and a lot of photo and video editing.  Photo editing software uses the GPU if I update.

    EVGA has suggested either of the following, based on what would be good:

    http://www.EVGA.com/products/product.aspx?PN=04G-P4-1961-KR

    http://www.EVGA.com/products/product.aspx?PN=04G-P4-3963-KR

    These cards are almost identical except;

    #1 is long of 6.8 ", has 1 BIOS, 1 fan and use 128 watts for $160

    #2 is 10.1 "long, has 2 BIOS, 2 fans and consume 160 watts for $170

    I thought I would replace the graphics card myself, but once I opened the folder, I was wondering if the two cards will even fit.  I saw that other people have swapped their graphics card, so it must be possible.

    When I look in my case, the existing graphics card is a single location.  These two cards are double slot.  In addition, it seems that there are a few transistors just next to the existing card.  When you install a card double slot, the new map is just overlap the transistors under?

    Finally, in view of these two cards and the XPS 8900 case, is it possible to put the card in?  Is it worth the extra $ 10 earn an extra BIOS and fan, to the detriment of one more card of time and 12 watts?

    Any help or thoughts are greatly appreciated, thank you.

    Dual cards fit without any problem. Many have improved their 8900 XPS and 8700 with cards that need two slots of width.

    I prefer the models dual fan as they run cooler. They have a bigger heat sink and with relatively low heat from GTX 960, some are silent at idle because the fans do not work.

    For example, MSI GTX 970 son fan only above a certain temp that only happens every game. Maybe the EVGA card did the same thing. It is nice to have a quiet system at idle.

    Regarding the adjustment, the MSI GTX 970 games 4 G card Dimensions are (mm) 140 x 277 x 35. Length and height are tight but it fits without cutting.

    In addition, as noted speedstep you run SATA cables under the card. I replaced the SATA cables with longer cables, so they route toward the front of the box, then under the graphics card and upward.

    This thread has many cards different people have added. (the link is on page 26) and about the halfway point is my son with the MSI GTX 970 system, which (I think) is slightly larger that the EVGA 960 you listed.  It also shows the case mod to add a front fan.
