Hi rog64ert,

It's the holiday season, so spending is good.

Since this is the forum of the game, you should go to the web site of the manufacturer of the game and looking for a recommendation for a video card that fits your game settings and screen resolution.

Most modern games runs fairly well with the ATI 6850 or the NVIDIA 560 using ultra high settings according to the resolution of the screen.

Door #winner is probably around $120-130 for the RADEON 6850 and $40 for the CX500 Corsair.

You need to open your PC and measure the physical dimensions of your diet. Here is a list of the things to consider:

1. technical characteristics
2. the total power - important
3. amperage 12 + v - important
4 modular - is not required, but I like the flexibility
5. guarantee
6 i7 and SLI ready
7. energy efficiency
8 cost
9. size - standard ATX PSU is 5.5 "by 5.9" by 3.4 "give or take a few tenths
10. a single + 12 volt rail is a better choice.

Make a measurement in parallel with the PCI-E x 16 slot to see how long of a video card will fit. The adjacent slot on the PCI-E x 16 slot must be vacant.

' HP ' how-to ' articles should be useful.  First, install the stable power supply and get yout PC before installing the video card.

  • Graphic/video card [REPLACEMENT / UPGRADE] on the desktop HP Pavilion - help

    I have the following:

    Desktop HP Pavilion Elite m9152p

    Upgrade to Windows 7 Professional 64-bit (updated 11/2009)

    The video card seems to have gone out and tried the following:

    Operating system reinstallation

    Uninstalled & drivers Reinstalled & restoration

    Before attempts above, no changes had been made to software or hardware only led to the same result: the video seems to be fine, and then it crashes and hangs and doesn't eventually having a hard reboot how, the computer loads the integrated video/graphic card.

    I need to buy a replacement video/graphics card, but I'm not sure what card I need to be aware of, or that my computer can handle as a replacement and maybe a possible upgrade (not necessary) - any help in this regard would be most appreciated.

    Thank you!

    I think it's a good choice.

    The comments seem positive most of the time that the fan seems to be quiet.

    I don't know if your previous card had HDMI.

    When you install your new video card, it can disable your sound system because of the HDMI audio chip on the video card.

    If you do not lose your integrated audio system, after you install the video drivers, reboot the machine, go into BIOS, find the onboard audio setting. It can be set to Auto or disabled. Change the setting to "Enabled". Save the configuration when you have made the change and again when you exit the BIOS.

    Upon restart, you will have your on-board audio back.

    Impatience back on your part.

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support! It's a good place to find the help you need, other users, the HP experts and other members of the support staff. I understand that you are looking for assistance with an update of the graphics card. I'm happy to give you a helping hand with this.

    Second, I'm looking to upgrade the video card and I was wondering what the card would be a good replacement for a game without having to replace the power supply but if I have to adapt what power? (With a ceiling of $ 200 - $350 on power supply)

    Yes, the power is 300 watts. Minimum 400 watts are for full power to retail graphics cards. The map provided by HP was custom designed to meet the requirements of power weaker and is is not the same as a retail card. HP has traditionally used Bestec and Lite-on original UPE.

    To install a gaming grade graphics card, you will need to replace your power supply. The Corsair CX500 and CX600 are highly recommend and forum favorite. Further, these power supplies are only slightly larger than a block of power SUPPLY HP stock and are known to adapt. Power supply Idleness will put you back on the $50 - $75.

    help me - thanks in advance

    Best regards, Torben

    Lazyboy_dk, welcome to the forum.

    The concern I have with the MSI GeForce GTX 960 Gaming 2 GB PhysX PCI-Express 3.0 is its length.  It's 10.5 ".  It is perhaps too long for the space.  In addition, it may require UEFI in the motherboard instead of a standard BIOS.  You can contact MSI Tech Support to see what they have to say.

    Most of the newer cards require UEFI, also.  The last card EVGA does not for UEFI was TG 640.

  • Desktop a6530f Pavilion, new hard drive and upgrade to Windows 7

    I have a desktop Pavilion a6530f with Vista.  My hard drive has been the production of errors, so I bought a new hard drive.  The original hard drive works pretty well as I should be able to create a recovery with a usb flash drive media.  I want to install the new hard drive (Seagate 1 TB SATA 3), and then install Windows 7 upgrade on the new drive.  Will be the ASUS M2N68 - LA / Narra3-GLBE motherboard supports SATA 3 (SATA 2 pilot courses)?  If Yes, where can I get the drivers?  Is there a Web page on the HP site for upgrade to Windows 7 on a new hard drive?  Or I just follow the guests after boot of the Windows 7 upgrade disc and enter the code of Vista product from the label on the side of the PC?

    Here are the specifications of your desktop HP Pavilion a6530f. Based on the specifications, this model shipped from the factory with Windows Vista Home Premium SP1 64-bit installed. This model supports the use of disks SATA 3, however transfer speeds will be limited to the rates for the motherboard SATA 2. No special drivers are required. Seagate 1 TB SATA 3 drive should work fine on this computer, but you may have problems using your HP recovery discs if the new drive is a Format "Advance" AF drive.

    It is unlikely that you will be able to create a recovery media on a USB FlashDrive with this computer. In my view, that this model only supports the creation of recovery DVDs.

    You have a choice of a couple of paths when it comes to the installation of Windows on your computer with a new hard drive installed.

    (1) use your HP Vista recovery disks to install Vista... This may or may not work depending on the new hard drive installed. Then, upgrade to Windows 7 using the upgrade disc and the Windows 7 product key printed on the certificate of authenticity provided with the Windows 7 upgrade disk. (Note: the key of Vista with Windows 7 will not work)

    (2) If you don't mind losing the "value-added" software HP originally installed on the computer, you can install Windows 7 without using Vista installed first. Install Windows 7 using the upgrade disc and the Windows 7 product key printed on the certificate of authenticity provided with the Windows 7 upgrade disk. (Do not enter the key during the installation of the window) (Note: the key of Vista with Windows 7 will not work)

    In both cases just follow the prompts as needed. I suggest to use Windows 7 SP1, because it seems to be more compatible with the new material, including readers of the AF.

    Please see HP - upgrade to Windows 7 customer care using basic upgrade or install Windows 7. Please see HP Forum - how to install Windows 7 without the disc for useful information and download for Windows 7.

  • Desktop HP Pavilion 500-342nem: can I upgrade my desktop computer hp pavilion 500 with the graphics card AMD RX 480 replacing edge R7

    I plan to upgrade my hp pavilion 500-342nem, who was already A7 graphical 240 with the new 480 RX.

    Is it possible to upgrade both the power supply and graphics card?

    There will be no problem of compatibility (PSU Corsair CX 500 questioned?.)

    I heard a lot of chatter on hp restricting the upgrade of their pc.

    The new card will work?

    Any help will be apppreciated.

    @Jeffrin98, welcome to the forum.

    I cannot find the specs of the product to the computer.  So, here's what you need to do.  Press Start + R from the view of the office.  This will open a run dialog box.  In the box labeled type msinfo32 opened.  In the page that opens, check the option titled Mode BIOS.  If he says UEFI motherboard is supported by the video card.  If this isn't the case, you will not be able to move forward.

    The next step is to measure the space where the card will be installed to ensure that it fits.  Measure from the back i/o port to the front of the case.  This will allow you to see if other ingredients will limit the installation.

    The CX500 Corsair power supply (PSU) should work.  However, check how much power requires the video card.  It may be better to buy a PSU with 600W.  High power will be used during peak power needs.  In addition, the card may require additional power connectors.  Also, I recommend a modular power supply.  It allows you to use only the cables that are absolutely necessary, create better air circulation.  It is very important with more powerful graphics cards.  The heat can be much larger.

  • Desktop HP Pavilion 500-223w: upgrading my video card

    I have a desktop HP Pavilion 500-223w with integrated graphics card intel. I want to install a 3d ready geforce graphics card in the pci expansion slot. How can I disable the integrated video card? I went to the bios Setup, but has not seen something on the video card.

    Hello:

    When you add a video card in this model, the integrated graphics card is automatically disabled as it is on most of today's desktop PCs.

    If your PC came with the factory W10, you need to change two other BIOS settings.

    See this guide for what settings change... This applies to every PC comes with Windows 8 or newer installed.

  • Upgrading a p6510f Pavilion with a new power supply, graphics card and RAM work?

    Well, here's the deal that I go back to Japan for about 3 months and during this time I will borrow my laptop Cousins (in Exchange for my office) for Skype etc.. No problem their the thing is that he is a player and this p6510f has a few bad specifications when it comes to this, so I thought that I could let him borrow some cake rather than dirt, if you catch my drift ha... As well, when I get back gamer I ~ ('voice of Yoda"aka How Japanese works...)

    So I looked on Newegg / Amazon read comments and planned my purchase but the question is can this case and the Board of Directors manage what I use? lazy to measure everything out / busy.

    So first thing, I would like to replace:

    Replace the 2 x 2 GB ram cards default with:

    4 x Corsair blue Vengeance 4 GB (2 X 4 GB) 1600 mHz PC3-12800 DDR3 SDRAM of 240 pins

    For a total of ram 16 GB with my x 64 bit PC of course

    Link: http://AMZN.to/KtMt9m (note that I buy two)

    Replacing power 250w with an overkill rather one but it is the same price as a 550w then why not eh? After all the future upgrade/ability to use it in future builds?

    1 x Corsair Enthusiast Series 650 watts 80 Plus Bronze Certified Power Supply Compatible with Intel Core i3, i5, i7 and AMD platforms

    For the graphics card + overclocking.

    Link: http://AMZN.to/IkLTdp 

    Finally no more ATI integrated BS... Please for the love of the creator (will it work?)

    1 x EVGA GeForce GTX 580 1536 MB GDDR5 PCI-Express 2.0 2DVI/Mini-HDMI SLI

    If my PC can adapt to this card, and it works with power above that will make me happy enough. (Regarding the cooling if it becomes a problem, I can upgrade fans me but first comes this material.)

    Link: http://AMZN.to/IFiEa2

    I checked the slot for graphics card, RAM and power supply power and it seems to me that this will work out I want just a professional opinion...

    Hello

    According to Corsair, the DIMMs that you chose is detected only at 1600 mhz, which is not in the specifications published by HP.

    You can roll the dice on the DIMMs that you chose, but I wouldn't recommend that buy you them until you contact Corsair and get a confirmation.  Computers HP can be very finicky with DIMMs, especially if you try to mix them with other DIMM modules.  If you do buy these bars and want to be them mixed with the existing DIMMs, then make sure the timings of latency CASE corresponding information validated HP. Also mix DIMM sizes will cause the memory function in unbalanced mode that adversely affect the performance of the memory.

    You should be able to make your own decision on whether to roll the dice.

    Hello, I bought a HP Pavilion A6750Y years that I have been very satisfied.  I have of course updated from Vista to Windows 7, added a video card and I'd really like to upgrade my cpu.  So far, in the Support & drivers for my computer, it lists still my motherboard as being able to run up to a processor AMD Phenom 9950 x 4. I noticed however if I list my OS as Vista 64-bit, then it does in fact appear a BIOS update that would allow the MOBO to exploit some AM3 cpu. It would still work for my computer running Windows 7, or y at - it an update of the BIOS in preparation for Windows 7, otherwise I would really like to make the request. I want to spend my processor to a Phenom 2 x 4 and need my MOBO to support AM3 processors. Thank you in advance.

    Hello:

    I wouldn't update the BIOS by using Windows 7. There is more than 95% of probability you will make the PC unusable.

    HP will release no updates to the BIOS of windows 7 for your PC.
