Need new video card for an HP dc7900

The original video card failed on my dc7900 (purchased in 2009) - a Nvidia Quadro NVS 290 PCie x 16. A repairman replaced with an ATI Radeon x 300 / x 550 but performance index increased from 3.2 to 2.0 and the driver is apparently causing BSOD when I use Google Earth or let the screensaver start. If I turn off the screen saver, the PC will crash when I work. ATI/AMD says it does not support the card under Windows 7 and their drivers for Vista. I have Windows 7 Ultimate with two monitors.

I would get an updated map, but the designation of cards is a little confused and I don't know if the cards would work in the PC. It has PCI 1 and 2. The Quadro 290 has 256 MB. Can I switch to a 300, say, 512 MB, or even something more? The HP site for the dc7900 page recommend the Nvidia card but it does not sell and is not a recommendation of an alternate member. NVIDIA has not responded to an email asking a model of upgrade. Any suggestions? No problem, I have to be concerned as enough food?

Hi Paul,.

Thank you for the information. I ordered the card and hope it lasts. Good to know that speed chart will be better than the original map. I used to build my own PC from 386, 486 (using SCSI and OS/2 disks) and through first processors Pentium but the motherboard changes left most of my obsolete spare parts. It is safer not to do on the bleeding edge.

On another forum, someone gave me advice on the use of Bluescreenview to know what causes accidents. It turns out that the ATI driver is the cause, and probably because the card is not supported under Windows 7 by the site Web of ATI. Once again, thanks for the help - these forums are great!

  • Pavilion HPE 440F: need new video card for HPE-440F

    Salvation;

    The ATI Radeon HD 5570 in my Pavilion HPE 440F appears to be dead, or is doing. The fan has stopped working and I think the map has overheated.

    I'm running Windows 7 x 64.

    Anyway - I would like to install a new card - and best video. It is, since it is HP, I bet that not all cards are compatible with my system.

    For example, I can buy an ATI Radeon SR-290, which gets much higher than my current card pass mark. Or maybe even a NVidia card might be a better value for the money.

    Can someone point me to a list of compatible video cards for my system?

    Thank you

    p.s. My Linux box is not an HP.

    Ubuntu_Kid, welcome to the forum.

    The problem you are having is, most of the newer video cards require UEFI in the motherboard instead of a standard BIOS.  HP didn't start using UEFI until mid-October 2012.  Your computer was released on August 26, 2010.

    Some of the manufacturers have developed a VBIOS that will allow their cards to work with legacy BIOS.  I know that the EVGA has done with some of their cards.  I suggest to call their Tech Support (1888-880-3842) to see if they have a card that will work with your computer.

  • Radeon 4870 or another new video card for a6560t

    I have an a6560t and you want to upgrade the video card. I think a Radeon 4870 and was curious to know if:

    (1) is it fit into the case?

    (2) it will work with the a6560t?

    (3) will be that I will be able to get a lot of a 4870 with the a6560t or should I consider using a card of lesser team upward with the a6560t platform?

    (4) anything else to consider?

    Note: I plan to upgrade my power supply as needed.

    Thanks for your help.

    FYI,.

    I have improved the power supply and the 4870 fits into the wells of the case. It is certainly noisier than the 9300GE it replaces, but the performance is remarkable.

  • New video card for Pavilion p6565uk

    Hi, the existing card in my HP Pavilion p6565uk desktoprunning Windows 7 (a Nividia GEForce GT230 with technology purevideo HD and 1.5 GB of memory dedictaed) started giving problems with its fan (now more heat and software stops working) I wish to update. I saw the GForce 630 2 GB DDR PCI express announced on Amazon and do not know if it is compatible.  I know that my office has a PSU of 300watts but don't know not what would be an appropriate updated map. The Nividia GeForce GT230 existing provided excellent service for what I use the computer for (some movie edition and normal household usage).

    Please can you advise me to use a proper replacement card.

    In the meantime, I have cleaned the fan and use the computer with the side panel off the coast for additional cooling.

    Thank you

    Hi Steve,.

    Not all 300 Watt power supplies are created equal, and therefore the reason why for the non - OEM GT630 video card manufacturers require more able to provide (350 watts).

    Open the PC and read the label on the power supply.  The amperage for the + 12v bus (rails) must be 20 amperes.  You can see two + 12v amperage if the power supply has two supply rails + 12v.

    The PCI-E slot is rated at 75 watts and 630 GT is close to the maximum power.  It is a call to close, but if you are not hungry video applications, then you should be OK.  If you begin to experience strange system problems and then I go ahead and replace the power supply.

    I normally consider to follow the recommendation of the manufacturer of the video card, but the GT630 is very close.

    Hello, I want to get the ram dedidcated to my graphic card of 256 and its 128 right now. Ive read in another post on the forum that it would be better to get another (goo.gl/Z4F0f1). I was wondering what would be the best video card to get for this need.

    @ShepardPotato, welcome to the forum.

    The problem that you have with the upgrade the video card is the power supply unit (PSU).  It's only 180W.  Most new video cards require a minimum of 400 w to work properly.  You should check to see if a stanard ATX PSU will enter in the space provided for the existing power supply.  If there is enough space, this power supply should work.  You should get this one measures of the plug.

    When you upgrade the PSU, here is a video card that will make what you need.  If you need more information, you should contact the manufacturer's Technical Support.

  • new graphics card for a desktop Pavilion p6657c PC

    This computer has a 250 watt power supply. I want to get a new video card with more specialized memory (1gig) to accelerate a business program. The operating system is windows 7. CPU is AMDAthlon II x 2 220. It came with an nvidia GeForce 6150SE nForce 430, with 256 MB of memory dedicated.

    All I can say is that people have added this card on power supply less than 300W.

    You can take the risk or not.  Your choice.  I can't tell you what will happen in your specific PC, because I don't know what other material there.

    Personally, I think that the card will work fine, or I would not have recommended it.

    Manufacturer of the video card normally overestimated the supply needs of power for their video cards, so they don't get a lot of complaints from people saying that their video card blew their power supplies, etc.

    For example... I use an AMD Radeon HD graphic card 6670 in my HP 8200 Elite CMT PC business.  The card called 66 Watts max.

    AMD said that you need a 400W power supply and my PC has a 320W power.  It's a 80 Watt shortfall.

    I ran it like that for 3 years with no problems whatsoever.

    I have two AMD Radeon HD 6570 in 2 other of my business office.  AMD says that you need a power of 400 Watt for those too, and I've been running both of these other PC with 320 W P/S for the same all about 3 years with no problems at all.

    HP offered the AMD Radeon HD 6450 in the 8200 Elite small form Factor PC, which has only a 240W PSU. AMD says you need a 400W power supply to run this card.  See page 2 of the PC data page and page 15 for graphics cards offered in the form factors.

    http://WWW8.HP.com/h20195/v2/GetDocument.aspx?DocName=c04313388

    This is the power of AMD for the HD 6450 requirements... see the support topic.

    http://www.AMD.com/en-us/products/graphics/Desktop/6000/6450#

    If you're still skeptical, I recommend that you either upgrade your diet (I've never done such an update, so I can't help you there), or the use of this handy power supply calculator which will estimate the power supply necessary based on the video card you want and the hardware on your PC.

    I bet you will see that he comes up with a value less than 300W.

  • Need a video card

    I have a HP pavilion a 1550 y Im don't know what vid card is in it now.

    I have 4 GB of RAM and a Pentium D 945 3.4 Ghz installed any suggestions on a video card?

    Thank you.

    Here are the Specifications of the product for the computer.

    The main problem you'll have is the power supply unit (PSU) in the computer.  I think he'll be 250W.  It is almost impossible to find a video card that will work correctly with a 250W power supply.  Most of the newer video cards which would be better you will require at least 350W to 400W.  This would require an upgrade of the power supply.

    You will need a PCI Express x 16 video card.  Here is a card that should work for you.  Look at the specifications of the card and you will see that it requires 400W to work properly.  Read the reviews to see what users have to say about it.

    Yes, I need also a new power supply that is included with my budget.

    Thank you!

    Revionion, welcome to the forum.

    I'd be happy to help you in your choice.  The main problem is, recent video cards require UEFI in the motherboard instead of a standard BIOS to legacy.  HP didn't start using UEFI until mid-October 2012.  The latest maps not requiring UEFI were the series GTX 640.  However, MSI has made a card that has a VBIOS hybrid which can operate with a BIOS.  The best thing to do is to choose a video card you like and contact Technical Support from the manufacturer to ensure that it will work on your computer as it is almost 7 years old.  This will save you problems.  They are the experts on their cards.

    I like Corsair power supply units (PSU).  I suggest at least 500W.  This will give you plenty of power for any card that works in your computer.

    If you have any other questions, let me know.  I'll be happy to help you.

  • Install the new video card

    I have a HP Pavilion m7500y PC running Windows XP. I would like to install a new video card to display on both monitors. Installing a video card is possible with this machine? The card I have has a VGA, HDMI and a DVI input connection. If possible, do I need anything special to install and use this card? Thank you for your help.

    I wouldn't worry the food until the video card is selected.  Decide if a new power supply is needed.  Many new cards high power have a 'special' which will have all the power supplies.  According to the map, adapters for power fittings may come with the card.  A respected power supply name is Cosair, Antec, or Thermalake, but many are just as reliable at the best prices.

  • New video, editing for AE, questions of GPU system

    Hi all

    I'm about to set up a new system to be used mainly for After Effects CS6 and first CS6. I have some difficulty to choose good GPU... If anyone of you could take the time to answer these question for me... It would be greatly appreciated!

    -J' read the GTX 7xx with structure of Kepler are not taken in charge/CUDA cores are not used, this is true for do they work well?

    -Is this a good video card (with 1000 + CUDA cores) help only for speeding 3D drawn with RADIUS, or the overall editing experience will be faster as well? ("seen live" when editing 'normal video', as well as the final minutes?)

    -What are the critical factors to look for in a video card for editing? (GDDR RAM, Base clock, memory speed, Memory Interface width, hearts CUDA memory bandwidth) I mainly work with 1080 p digital SLR video and video effects, not a huge amount of 3d text, etc.

    -If I would choose the GPU as renderer, the work will be done only by the GPU, of goes it's just 'assist' CPU?

    -So far, I think the GTX 760 would be a good option, what is your opinion on this map for the edition of EI? It would be a good choice or a 6xx GTX or GTX 580 will be a much better option? My budget for the entire system (without monitor etc.) is maximum. 1000 euros.

    -Would be to buy an SSD to store the program files and project files, be useful? Or that does not increase the speed in the edition of too?

    The system that I have on my mind so far, recommendations and changes are welcome...

    For first GPU acceleration is completely different than the acceleration of AE Ray Tracer. The specifications and the ram and CPU GPU core/clock system absolutely effect the performance of the first reading. That means selecting the correct GPU comes from an acceleration of MPE of first and the flow of work/support used. The concept that comes into play here is the processing latency. An old card with 1 GB of vram and a single or dual core CPU may be able to read a single stream of 1080 by itself without any scale. However, as soon as effects or alterations of the frame are added, then the time it takes for data to the cpu, the buffer in memory to live and then process through the GPU is long to keep reading. The speed of the clock of the CPU, Ram and GPU/Vram come into play as to how long it takes to this complete piping process. The amount of threads and cores to decide how much data can process at any point in time. The more layers and effects to deal with the more data that must be processed in a segment of the time required for reading, changes of images. This is similar to the amount of water through a pipe. This may be increased either by increasing the size of the pipe or pressure of the water in the hose of the water how fast is introduced into the hose. These two aspects have their limits depending on where the water is coming and going and what are the minimum requirements. It normally takes a balance between both the pipe size and the amount of water/pressure sent through the pipe. However the volume of water required for any segment of time over two aspects need to be increased. That is to say this translates on clock speed corresponds to the water pressure and threads of equal size. DSS also have a significant aspect dealing with latency. The latency of the SSDS is a fraction of the mechanical controls. This means that the amount of time it takes for SSD drives to manage all of the read or write requests made by the application is significantly lower. This results in lowering of the amount of time reader queries affect the overall performance of playback in real time with how fast the files are written. Codecs with different data rate requirements, often times SSD drives are cheaper options to handle data rates normally requiring an important raid configurations that are expensive. SSDS also many more applications at the same time manage which means by putting more operations on a single disc. The result is often better performance with a calendar or more complex compositions.

    Comments on GPU specifications not really have an impact are relative to the AE only. This is absolutely not the case for the first, SOUL and Speedgrade, or almost any other application to GPU acceleration.
