Mac Pro upgrade graphics card

Hello

I'm so curious why apple does not allow owner Mac Pro 1.1 or 2.1 people run Cougar or do not allow to install graphics cards easily. When we (the developers) can update the Rom of graphics cards to work at the Mac Pro, why others shouldn't.

OK people like APPLE and I love it too, I hope that APPLE love too people. Go further and develop, people make Apple.

    can I upgrade graphics card on pavilion dm 4?

    Laptops are unlike desktop computers.

    Desktop PC have an open architecture that make the relatively simple upgrade.

    PC laptop and portable access to the e/s available and put at level of the slots through the doors of the inspection and often almost total disassembly.

    Laptops are also limited by the BIOS and the physical attributes systemboard on the video modules and wireless can be used for upgrades.

    A BIOS of the laptop has a white list of the modules that are acceptable. If a module wireless or video is not on the whitelist, then it cannot be used. If a notebook THAT BIOS found during the POST (power on self test) as a module not on the white list has been installed it will warn you and it won't start the laptop computer in the operating system installed.

    If money is no object you can update the video through an exotic external graphics solution like Vidock Gfx.

    He had a NVidia GeForce4 420 Go 16 MB card

    I can replace it with a GeForce4 420 Go 32 MB of the same model.

    Is there something more powerful on the market that works without any problem for the 6100? That is to say. GeForce4 440 Go 64 MB?

    See you soon

    Usually didn t of toshiba offers an update of the separate graphics card but he had different graphics cards installed in your computer, and, THEORETICALLY, you can use each of these cards in your machine. I can't promise it but they should all work in this machine.

    The problem is to disassemble the machine completely and if you do something wrong then you know that it is useless to come back because your machine is no longer in warranty. It would be wise to give the machine a technician to exchange the graphics card.

    Unfortunately, I can't tell you what graphics cards in your machine or which partnumbers are needed. In this case you´re on your own.

    Good luck

  • HP M9340f and Power Supply Upgrade graphics card

    HP dear community,

    I read some of the forums on the upgrade of the 9500gs it's an old graphics used for the HP M9340f. It's been 4 years now and the computer still works very well. I need advice for the upgrade on the graphics card.

    My specs are: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c01465973

    I know that there a 350W power supply. I am worried because the 9500gs video card has a connector that is powered from the motherboard, it has 2 pins (black and white wire). I read about the update for the ATI HD 5670 Nvidia 440 or 450. I know it is very old, but the 9500gs is still able to run modern games.

    The recommendations would work due to the connector 2 pin?

    Upgrading power supply help, because I think the video card is to select the power supply to the motherboard and not directly from the power supply.  I'm still confused on what the black and white wire, it is connected to the video card.

    I don't mind getting a greater electric power because I can get a better card. Just concerned with the black and white wire.

    I also read here that this person was able to exchange his power supply and graphics card for a gtx 560 ti and a 550W power supply. Its model is newer than mine. http://www.tested.com/forums/PC-and-Mac/8692-seeking-upgrading-graphic-cardnew-computer-advise/?&p=1

    I am really limited?

    Thank you

    Abe

    Swarl3s,

    We will divide your questions.

    (1) black/white is audio Spdif. Asus Nvidia supports a S-video port, audio is provided by the additional wiring.

    Now that the concern you had as answered (the whitw/black wiring), Let's proceed to the card.

    (2) what are your expectations of game? WOW, Diablo 3. Each has a recommended graphics card and each graphics card recommended the power of the power supply. Always add a tolerance.

    Regarding the GTX560Ti and a combination of 550W PSU, I see no problem. Then again, see here for more information and suggestions.

  • EliteBook 8760W: possibilities to upgrade graphics card

    I currently have 8 gig RAM and graphics AMD over-pants M5950. About to upgrade to 16 gig which is max for this (Intel Core i7-2630QM @ 2.00 GHz) processor.  "While I'm here why not upgrade the graphics card?" he asked. The notewbook is 4.5 years.  So, here's my question.  What might work for a new graphics card?  Thanks in advance.

    We usually say to people flat out "no upgrade is possible". In your case, not true. You already have a good map. However, the other candidate is the nVidia Quadro 5010 M which is a beast with 4 GB of memory video memory DDR5.

    http://www.notebookcheck.NET/NVIDIA-Quadro-5010M.47195.0.html

    Here is the Service Manual:

    http://h20628.www2.HP.com/km-ext/kmcsdirect/emr_na-c02847569-1.PDF

    See p. 68 to see how the video card comes out.

    http://www.eBay.com/ITM/Dell-NVIDIA-Quadro-5010M-4GB-GDDR5-M6600-video-card-N12E-Q5-A1-/251500680424?hash=item3a8e9bd4e8:g:zT4AAOxyBvZTRMPp

    If you switch to nVidia, you also get a different fan/radiator for the video card:

    Intended only for computers models NVIDIA graphics subsystems 652544-001

    Your video card can be bought on eBay for under $ 60, while the Quadro 5010 M costs more than $600 in order to see how much more desirable is the Quadro. You can also search other AMD/ATI cards that are not specified in the maintenance manual, but it's very hit or miss. On the some portable (removable) MXM cards with, they are not universally interchangeable. There are Web sites for only MXM card information and you can see one of them:

    As you can see this isn't really a trivial question and must consider and plan carefully. Not just a "Hey while we're here we might as well" kind of thing.

    Thanks in advnace for the help

    Hello:

    Before investing money in a different video card, try to manually install the graphics driver for the GeForce 6700 W8.

    To install the driver manually, start by downloading this free utility for files.  The 2nd file is 64-bit.

    http://www.7-zip.org/

    Then download but do not run the graphic driver Nvidia W8 for the 6700 from the link below.

    http://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/82758/en-us

    After you install 7 - Zip and downloaded the graphics driver, right-click on the graphic driver file.

    Select 7 - zip from the list of options and extract 7 - Zip: and leave it to decompress the file in his driver's record.

    Once the driver file was extracted from his file, go to Device Manager and click to expand the category of device of graphics cards.

    Click on the map to display Microsoft base listed there.

    Click the driver tab.  Click on set to update driver.

    Select her browse my computer for driver software option and navigate to the driver 7-Zip created folder.

    Make sure that the include subfolders is selected and see if the pilot goes like this.

    Then restart the PC.

    If this does not work... your PC has only a supply of 250 W power specifications.

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/product/HP-Pavilion-p6700-desktop-PC-series/5035348/model/5049541/document/c02628244/

    An appropriate card that works with a this power supply would be the GeForce GT 610.

    He draws a max of 29 watts, and there are W10 drivers for it.

  • A Satellite Pro 6100 graphics card does not work correctly

    Hello!

    I have a Satellite Pro 6100 (PS610E - 02c 60-GR) 1.7 Ghz, 256 MB, 40 GB, 15XT and a Geforce4 420 Go (32 MB) graphic card. Until yesterday it was working properly. Now, there are colors on the screen and there was a blue screen a few times, which says something about my graphics card (it disappeared from fast read).
    I uninstalled the old driver and reinstalled twice. Nothing has changed. Also I tried with an external monitor, but there wasn't any change, too.

    Now my questions:
    1. is it possible to change the graphics card (in particular, can I do it alone without a technician)?
    2. How can I do this, is there some tutorials, especially for my laptop?
    3. an another Geforce4, but for example a Geforce4 440 Go with 64 MB of RAM would fit in my notebook?

    I thank very you much in advance!
    Lukas

    Hi Lukas

    The led flashes as it provides a microcode error!
    This is especially if the malfunction of hardware has been detected.
    I presume that the replacement of the graphics card is the reason!

    As in previous discussions suggested the replacement of the graphics card is NOT possible. You don't believe!
    Looks like that the BIOS cannot handle this new graphics chip.

  • Pavilion p7-1414: upgrade graphics card

    http://h30434.www3.HP.com/T5/desktop-hardware-and-upgrade-questions/P7-1414-and-GTX-750-TI-SC-proble...

    As you can see in this thread, my computer will get full performance GTX 750ti due to my PCI ports.  So even if I upgrade my 500 Watt PSU, I always get a maximum return of 750 GTX ti. So in order to get maximum performance, what I have to get a new motherboard supporting the 750 GTX PCI slots ti?

    Greetings,

    Your PC meets the requirements of minimum 300 Watt power supply.

    Your PC has the UEFI BIOS necessary for the performance of the 750Ti. Your BIOS version 8.xx supports UEFI graphics cards.

    Your PC has a PCIe x 16 slot 2.0. The 750Ti will take place in a 2.0 slot, but at a slightly lower rate. It is not as slow as you think. A 3.0 card works fine in a 2.0 slot.

    The 750 will fit in your case, as evidenced by the physical installation of the card described in the link to the other thread user in your message.

    No PIN six additional or power connections 8 pins are required to run the 750Ti.

    I run a GTX 970 in a 2.0 slot and it works fine.

    You need to enter the BIOS (Setup) to disable secure boot and select start inherited before installing the 750 into the slot. You must also uninstall the current graphics drivers before installing the new graphics card. You need to return to the graphics drivers generic windows before installing the 750Ti GTX.

    See you soon!
