Laptop computer video card

In 2011, I bought a Hp Pavilion dv6 and I choose not to get the graphics card and sticking with the graphics card intel. I want now to get an upgrade and get a graphics card. I was told that graphics cards for laptop are so different for desktop computers. So my question is if I can put a new graphics card in my laptop? It would be difficult to put in? And if I can what card should I get?

Hello

Basically, you can, with a cost, and I think that this cost can be more expensive than buying a new computer because you have to take into account:

  • New price of the card, and WHERE you can buy it because the laptop cards are not the same office maps. You can't buy any normal store,
  • Need new card system.
  • Need new system of cooling because in general more powerful card pumps out more heat (you want more powerful card don't you?).
  • May need new power supply because your current diet is not suitbale for the card. (I ordered a machine with the Nvidia card and I need to order a 90W charger at the same time, not the normal charger 65W. They rejected just my order.)
  • Cost of the work.
  • Packages a lot, a lot of aspirin.

I hope this helps.

  • The computer video card can't read the themes

    My computer has a bad sector and Vista had to be put back. I used to have my picture as my screensaver and your display fadin in and out, pan and zoom, style, album etc. Now, they just flip with no transition. I get a meaasge reading:"this video card in the computer can not play themes." Why what happened? Any thoughts as to get things back to normal? The place I got it don't know why it happened.

    Hi Lucy2099,

    This happens usually when your Windows experience index is set to 3 or below. Go to control panel, click on the system icon and check what Windows experience Index side. If it says 3 or below clcik update Windows Experience Index link. "Usually", this solves the problem.

    You can also check that you have the latest drivers for your graphics card.

  • Change the settings for the virtual computer video card

    After upgrade of several virtual machines to the latest version of material, some of our virtual machines experienced a problem where the 3D has been activated and automatic detection has been updated with the manual. Some side effects have been experienced. I am now seeking to create a workflow to disable 3D and set to automatic detection for our servers. I found the properties "enable3DSupport" and "useAutoDetect" under VirtualDeviceConfigSpec.VirtualDevice.VirtualMachineVideoCard.

    I had planned this script in action and create a workflow to move a virtual machine as the user selects.

    I fired up Onyx and pulled the following information:

    // ------- ReconfigVM_Task -------
     
    var spec = new VcVirtualMachineConfigSpec();
    spec.changeVersion = "2013-02-21T16:34:32.130873Z";
    spec.deviceChange = System.getModule("com.vmware.onyx").array(VcVirtualDeviceConfigSpec, 1);
    spec.deviceChange[0] = new VcVirtualDeviceConfigSpec();
    spec.deviceChange[0].operation = VcVirtualDeviceConfigSpecOperation.edit;
    spec.deviceChange[0].device = new VcVirtualMachineVideoCard();
    spec.deviceChange[0].device.key = 500;
    spec.deviceChange[0].device.deviceInfo = new VcDescription();
    spec.deviceChange[0].device.deviceInfo.label = "Video card ";
    spec.deviceChange[0].device.deviceInfo.summary = "Video card";
    spec.deviceChange[0].device.controllerKey = 100;
    spec.deviceChange[0].device.unitNumber = 0;
    spec.deviceChange[0].device.videoRamSizeInKB = 8192;
    spec.deviceChange[0].device.numDisplays = 1;
    spec.deviceChange[0].device.useAutoDetect = true;
    spec.deviceChange[0].device.enable3DSupport = false;
     
    managedObject.reconfigVM_Task(spec);  // VirtualMachine
    
    
    

    I know that most of that is not necessary, but I have tried two different ways and received the following error:

    Cannot convert com.vmware.vim.vi4.VirtualDeviceConfigSpec@1 in [com.vmware.vim.vi4.VirtualDeviceConfigSpec] (name of the dynamic Script Module: changeVideoCard3DEnable #9)

    Can someone provide some guidance? It seems that most actions and workflows in vCO seek information in the environment rather than change things.

    Thank you

    -Zach

    Morning,

    untested but try this way:

    spec var = new VcVirtualMachineConfigSpec();
    
    
    var myDeviceChange = new Array();
    
    
    var myVirtualMachineVideoCard = new VcVirtualMachineVideoCard();
    
    
    Context of var = new VcVirtualDeviceConfigSpec();
    
    
    
    
    myVirtualMachineVideoCard.useAutoDetect = true;
    
    
    myVirtualMachineVideoCard.enable3DSupport = false;
    
    
    
    
    configSpec.operation = VcVirtualDeviceConfigSpecOperation.edit;
    
    
    configSpec.device = myVirtualMachineVideoCard;
    
    
    
    
    myDeviceChange.push (configSpec);
    
    
    spec.deviceChange = myDeviceChange;
    
    
    
    
    vm.reconfigVM_Task (spec);

    But it's untetested.

  • Laptop computer graphics card

    Hello

    I wanted to know if I could pass the GPU on my laptop. I have a HP 15 t-j100, i7-4700MQ, with 8 GB of RAM and 2 GB of Nvidia GeForce GTX 740 M, a 1 TB with 24 GB of SSD caching hard drive. I went back to the HP page and I saw that on the new laptops of the same model, they have a 840 M as well. So I was wondering if I could switch to it. I was also wondering if I could pass it to a GeForce GTX 850 M. Thanks for any advice.

    Hello:

    Not without replacing the motherboard together with care, which can have better graphics.

    There not removable/replaceable "graphics cards" in your laptop or any other.

    Graphic processing units are welded and the circuit is integrated in the motherboard.

    It would be cheaper your notebook trade in and get one with the graphic solution you want to defect removal and replacement of the motherboard.

  • Laptop computer WiFi card compatibility

    I have a product name: HP Pavilion dv7 Notebook PC 4087 CL. product number: WQ637UA #ABA. I currently have an Intel centrino 1000n card. I would like to know if a Broadcom WLAN 802.11 ABGN 2 x 2 CL2 43224:HP: HP Part # 582564-002 will work in my laptop? Can someone tell me if it will work with my BIOS?  Thank you...

    Hi again frnkiee,

    Thanks for the quick response!

    To answer your first question, 4322 Broadcom 802.11 a/b/g/n WLAN module - 582564-001 is 1 x 1. For the second question, the only different between the two references is a difference of regional compatibility for adapters.

  • U2415, a VGA and DVI video card?

    Hello

    We recently bought 4 u2415 dell screens for our company's graphic design team, I am a manger IT to my company, but the screen was not given by me and we encountered a problem linking them. The video card has only 1 single VGA port and a DVI port and because of this, I bought several adapters and cables to try to connect these monitors but I still can't get no signal, please help, I'm a little before I sent monitors to the advertiser. For VGA, I bought an active adapter convert it that HDMI port, I connect via dp to hdmi cable and get still no signal. For DVI, I bought a dp cable dvi and im still getting no signal. Please tell me what is wrong and if have a little chance to connect these monitors today before im refer to them.

    The cables you bought are designed to go to DP to HDMI or DVI monitor video card. You can't go back.

    The U2415 of the maximum resolution is 1920 x 1200 60Hz.So forget using the U2415 DP or CDM. The cheapest solution is this =

  • Computer HP Pavilion laptop g6-1142sl impossible to switch between video cards

    I recently bought a computer laptop 'HP Pavilion g6-1142sl"on the"Windows7HomePremium"operating system, I installed the game. Then I noticed an FPS very low for 1 GB video card
    When I pointed out the existence of two switchable between themselves for acquisition cards. I figured out how to move, but has increased to 10 FPS
    I have thought that the problem is in the drivers and downloaded the software to update their "Driver Genius" and then updated the drivers for the cards and a few other devices, but then after a reboot has lost the ability to switch the video card by pressing a right click on the desktop. on the FPV was even lower, I translated the BONES of Italian in Russia formatted the D drive and has not discovered that more later I deleted the backup system recovery
    I turned the system is fine, but I found myself with no recovery!

    PS help me to solve this problem on the front thanks

    Sincerely cloned

    Hi cloned,

    For graphics AMD/Intel switchable works correctly, you must install the package AMD custom software on the following link - this package provides both the card ATI and Intel as well as the Catalyst Control Center custom drivers needed to control them properly.

    http://ftp.HP.com/pub/SoftPaq/sp55001-55500/sp55025.exe

    When the installation is complete, restart the computer before checking it in.

  • Do not use the Brink game on my computer laptop-message of error: the current video card/driver does not support openGL3.1 or newer.

    We have Windows Vista SP2. Does this mean I now have to buy a video card or y at - there a way around this without costing me more money?

    Hello

    I would suggest trying the following methods and check if it helps.

    Method 1: make sure the game is compatible with your computer.

    Method 2: update the video card driver and check if that helps.

    Update a hardware driver that is not working properly: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/Update-a-driver-for-hardware-that-isn ' t-work properly

    If both methods fail, you will then need to get a new video card.

    I hope that helps!

  • Laptop HP 15-AC639NG: update video card

    Hello, I would like to upgrade the video card in my laptop, but I'm not familiar with laptops. How can I find what graphics cards are compatible with my motherboard? It is worth making the upgrade or is it risky? Currently I have a R5 AMD graphics card. What other advice you have for me? Thank you in advance.

    This is a very common question and who do not earn a lot of goodwill, but the truth is there is no way to upgrade your video. Laptops have custom designed mothers and many maps that you can insert into a desktop computer are installed in a laptop by the presence of soldered chips flat on the motherboard. I want to say have you ever seen a desktop video card? How could you possibly put something like in a laptop? Some special very, very made up of games and laptops of engineering have a slot to put a flat blg video card in but no laptop of HP consumer doesn't have such a slot. Laptops that have this ability are more than $2,000 and even then the cards are not freely interchangeable as a desktop computer. So, the simple answer to your question is that you can not do. I'm sorry.

    Hello guys

    It s not possible to update the graphics card. You can't compare the desktop with a laptop PC. The graphics card on the laptop is a small chip that attaches to the motherboard.

    On the upgrade memory: you can upgrade the memory maximum. 512 MB (2x256MB). There are 2 slots available and these modules of memory are supported:

  • HP Pavilion 15 laptop: Possibility to upgrade the video card or processor?

    Hello

    I wonder if I can improve my laptop so I can run some games (better). I'm sorry if this has been asked before for this model. Here is my card:

    Productnaam:HP PC portable Pavilion 15
    Productnummer:J8D20EA #ABH
    Totaal geheugen:6.00 GB
    APU A8-6410 Processornaam:AMD with AMD Radeon R5 graphics card

    Thank you very much.

    The model number is 15-p053nd. There is unfortunately no way to upgrade. On this model the processor and the video are soldered on the motherboard so that the only way to update something would be to replace the motherboard. A motherboard replacement with a processor and upper specification video card will cost as much as the computer laptop everything worth it and would still need to be installed. Also, you already have a system that is so he has very much put at level square, near the top anyway.
