• Satellite L30 - question video card update

  Hey guys!

  I have a Toshiba Satellite L30-113 and I am very happy with the way it looks and works. I managed to update the 3 GB RAM, the processor is in a pretty good shape, although it is only 1.7 GHz.

  Now, my only problem is that the video card, the laptop is equipped with (ATI Radeon XPRESS 200 M) is quite low. You have an idea on which other (preferably better) video cards is compatible with the Satellite L30 - 113 default installation?

  Thank you!

  Speaking of GPU Generly cannot be upgraded on laptops. Due to the specific design and cooling with limited cooling performance, it cannot be done.

• newb video card replacement

  Hello world. I am upgrading the video card on my HP Compaq SR550F upgraded to 4 GB RAM, 640 GB HDD, Win 7 running-32 bit. I never did this before, so please bear with me. There are 3 (I guess) slots for video cards, 2 white, one black. the existing card came out a white slot (the one in the middle), but the new card I bought is a larger map (purchased on a recommendation from friends), but only has 1 notch inside instead of 2, so it does not fit in a slot of white, but it will be insert in the black slot, will that be a problem? Here's the card I bought http://www.canadacomputers.com/product_info.php?cPath=43_557_558&item_id=030149

  Another question is, the original map is not the VGA port on it, it's on the motherboard, the new card has a VGA port, can I connect my monitor to the new card and ignores that of the motherboard?

  Townie2, no problem.  Thanks for the model of the computer.

  The power supply unit (PSU) is 250W.  You must determine if the video card requires more power.  It is available on the manufacturer's website.

  The biggest black slot is the PCI Express X 16 slot which is where the new card must be installed.  The white slots are PCI.  The little black slit is PCI Express X 1.

  As I said in my original post, the new card becomes the primary video device.  You connect the monitor to it.

  It is also an answer yes because PCI Express 3.0 is a compatible specification down.

  Thank you.

• What is a simple but effective update to the XPS 8500 video card? (Computer complete Newb)

  What is a simple but effective update to the XPS 8500 video card? (Computer complete Newb)

  
  Hello Dell Community. I read through the sticky XPS compatibility and some discussions on upgrading video cards. However, I couldn't find something that fits my needs. If you all can help me with this, would be great!

  Characteristics of the computer:

  • Dell Xps 8500
  • Intel Core i7-3770 CPU @ 3.40 GHZ
  • 16 GB of Ram
  • 64-bit operating system
  • AMD Radeon HD 7570

  Needs:

  • Run newer games of 2014/2015 without lag on medium to high heat (GTA V)
  • Relatively easy to install (remove some screws and paste the video card in and voila!)
  • No need to upgrade the power supply

  Budget is $ 200-250:

  • Obviously the lower the better and if need be, the budget is flexible. Depends on if the gain is important for the payment of the sum.

  Look forward to your answers!

  Thank you

  Richard

  A card that I know works is $200 would be

  EVGA GeForce GTX 960 SuperSC ACX 2.0 + 2GB GDDR5 128 bit 02 G-P4-2966-KR that it comes with a 2 X 6 pin cable 8 pin Y so the stock power should be good.

  

  more than 2 GB will not improve the map and it will increase the price.

  Don't get me wrong although it won't make a video full screen 4K.

• Dell Dimension 2400 desktop w/XP Home Edition: video card Question

  Hello people... last week, I got a desktop pc from a friend who walked away, Dimension 2400 desktop with Windows XP Home Edition. I plan on upgrading it and either sell it or it give. Last night, I ordered a titled graphics card "ATI Radeon 9250 card 256 MB DDR PCI"... which, after purchasing, I discovered via google and other search engines it takes to 220W - 250W power... the power supply installed is 200W... fundamental question is: should I upgrade the PSU? ". Or 200 will do well. Thank you!!!

  Hello

  Welcome to the community

  Have you tested the video card? The computer works fine with the new card? In this configuration, I suggest to upgrade the power supply. You can get 250W or higher power. If the computer is on, you can wait for that stop at random. Let me know if you still need assistance.

  Kind regards

• Question of HPE-180 t upgrade video card/PSU

  I have never updated a video card or a power supply before and am a little worried about this procedure. I have a HPE-180 t and I want to spend the GT 220 GPUS to a GTX 560 Ti.

  The thing is that when I open the case, I don't know if there is enough space. I read that the 560 Ti is a large map and takes about 2 connectors on the motherboard. The GT 220 that I look pretty tight on one side, and it is not as big as the 560. Someone has it already done this before update? I don't know if the case of the size vary between models of HP Office.

  For food, I get this one:

  http://www.Newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=N82E16817139028

  Same issue - anyone done this upgrade successfully on a HPE-180 t? If this isn't the case, I have problems with it?

  Other problems, I'd be worried?

  Thank you!

  Great, thank you for taking the time to answer.  You are welcome!  I'm happy to help you.

  I was just wondering, how did you choose this particular video card? It seems that there is a lot of variety of different manufacturers.  Over the years, I have spent many hours on the forums of enthusiasts/player/overclocking.  From this experience, I came to love graphics cards XFX, BFG, EVGA, Sapphire and PNY in that order.  They are the manufacturers who make very good products and offer good customer Service.  Also, when you pick up any product, I read as many customers as possible.  They give you the straight scoop without any exaggeration of the manufacturer.  Other customers the better.  When I see a product that has more than 200 customers and is rated 4 stars or higher, I won't hesitate to buy it.  Some comments may be pros, but the majority are people like you and me.  I hope that explains my choice.

  Also, I noticed that the product dimensions are 9 "x 4,38", which I suppose is just length x width. The "depth" (or width when looking from the rear which is held vertically) is not listed, so that usually not a problem (i.e. it will not conflict with what anyone on either side)?  If the card fits in length and the width and height of the map is not as critical.  Most cases will be enough space.  The length is more critical, however.  I would stay 9 "or less.  Normally, this ensures that the card will fit in the case of medium-sized and allowing good air flow.  A card will be a full case.

  If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.  I'm always happy to help someone to learn about the components of the computer.

• Firefox crashes when it starts. I tried to reset it; I uninstalled and reinstalled no question. The problems started after I changed my video card

  Crash ID: bp-1c18c383-28e4-426c-96a7-ff97e2130906
  OS: Windows 7 SP1 64-bit
  I had to change my video card, immediately after this FF started crashing at the beginning.
  The graphics card is a Nvidia GeForce 210.
  I tried to:
  -Reset FF;
  -uninstall, delete the registry, reinstall it;
  -Windows Update;
  -Update (311.06) video card drivers
  but no way.
  I can start FF mode without failure.
  Any help will be really appreciated.

  I solved it by disabling hardware acceleration in the FF options.
  There seems to be a conflict between FF and some drivers from Nvidia.

• Satellite Pro A10: Question about upgrading video card

  Hi guys, I have a laptop Satellite Pro A10 and I was wondering if anyone of you could help me.

  I want to improve my Ram card memory and video. The video card now is an Intel 82852/82855 GM/GME Graphics Controller and want a graphics card with at least 128 MB of memory on this subject.
  Any recommendation?
  Any help would be appreciated muchly.

  Hello

  It of not possible to change the graphics card. The graphics card is a small chip that attaches to the motherboard.
  This graphics card supports up to 64 MB shared memory. The graphics card gets this value of main memory if it s needed.

  The possibility to upgrade the memory of this device is something different.
  You can upgrade the memory to max 1024 MB (2x512MB) and these modules should work.
  PC2100 128 MB (PA3126U - 1 M 12)
  PC2100 256 MB (PA3127U - 1 M 25)
  PC2100 512 MB (PA3164U - 1 M 51)

  Hope this will help a little.

• Satellite 1900-303: Question about upgrade video card

  I have satellite 1900 - 303 and want to somehow upgrade the video card. Is that someone has an idea that is possible or not and if yes how and where to buy a new one.
  Thank you

  Hi Galin,

  It is generally not possible to update the graphics card in a notebook. They are generally adapted to fit the available space and also specially designed drivers that are specific to your model of laptop. It is also quite common for them to use the RAM shared rather than having their own chip RAM (although some later model specifications have dedicated for graphics RAM).

  You can check in your advanced (from Control Panel) display options if you can adjust the RAM available for your graphics card.

• Qosmio G30-141: Question on the use of an external video card

  Hello world!

  Is - anyone know something about external video for toshiba card notes? Like Asus XG Station, Village Tronic ViDock Gfx Pro or AMILO GraphicBooster.

  Will be toshiba develop & manufacture a similar device like them? My rating is Qosmio F30-141 & I want to play the GRID, GTA IV, NFS Shift in high resolution with all the spec.effects.

  Now I play GRID on the resolution 640 x 480 & medium quality). Nice game IMHO.

  PS PS3 & XBOX360? No reason to buy them for my 2-3 cheaper than the console games.

  Hello

  I doubt that the external video card could provide enough power to play these games
  You can connect these via the USB port video cards and I think that the USB port cannot transfer this huge amount of data that would be needed to play games with all the details
  In addition, the graphics card upgrade is not possible on laptops

  I have a desktop PC and laptop. I always use the desktop PC for games.
  The components are easy to update and I can build a game machine clean with the best GPU, motherboard, and processor.

  See you soon

• Question regarding upgrading my video card

  I have a PC HP Media Center m7674n that I bought in 2006. At the time, I upgraded the system to run with an HD ATI X 1950 Pro Video card (I think that a bigger power supply has been added).

  I still love the computer; However, I want to upgrade the video card of a new product from ATI.

  I love the new ATI, in particular ATI HD 5000 series but I'm not sure on how to proceed in accordance

  what might be the needs.

  Thank you.

  Unplug your computer and open it. Clean any dust using a can of compressed air.   Please keep in mind that your PC has good airflow through the air intake and exhaust.  Make sure that all fans of spin. You may run a heat problem.  Remember that you have the latest version of ATI video card driver.

  PC gaming is usually higher end models depending on how intense the game uses the material.  You have an older model of PC, so I have a new one for the game is not too far from the line.  If you go with a new PC then buy one with the largest video card, you can get.  Software game usually specifies the minimum requirements for the OK performance, assuming that no other software is loaded and executed (not the real world).

  A new video card and 2 GB of that memory can rise to $200 - $ 250.

• Video questions LenovoG500 card (windows 7)

  Hi, I have a laptop Lenovo G500

  Graphics card Radeon 8500 card - I have some problems when I try to install this card.

  Can someone help me, please!

  Sometimes this occurs if you install the Intel video drivers first, then install the drivers AMD. I suggest to uninstall the drivers AMD and intel, run CCleaner or similar to clean and remove any drivers then reinstall, AMD Intel first second.

• question about H8-5134 video card driver

  I bought this and is trying to figure out why the fps on the sims3 is low and someone said to check for new drivers.  the driver listed in the dxdiag is 8.17.0010.1140 as of 11/14/2012 is the amd radeon hd 7570 dedicated video card is not part of the motherboard.

  It is one of the software on the hp site, but it said that its original driver if yes why is dated after the i have installed and the driver itself is higher, then it installed.  and also to be as amd vision has hp logo motor control I can't uninstall and instlal ati catelyst control I can?

  And it is the normal procedure, but in the last months starting with HD 7xxx video cards, HP has been the installation of exclusive video cards, and not too many people know this change.

  It is a matter of concern for gamers like you, who need the latest video drivers.

  Some people come to remove these cards and installation details those who operate with the power supplies in the PC. Then they can use the latest drivers AMD directly from AMD as in the good old days.

  To do this, a BIOS setting must be changed in order to circumvent beeps error video memory before starting upwards.

  Not a big deal, but people do not know either.

  Please refer to this post to the subject to change the BIOS setting if you ever decide to install a video card in retail.

• DC 7600 video card question

  If anyone has this pc what kind of cards you have is successful by running in it?

  Hello

  Your PC has to a slot PCI-e x 16 available for the upgrade chart cacapabilities. Any PCI-e x 16 is not wide double-slot, or which requires a pcie power plug should work. If you take a look at themages to NewEgg.com i you can see what NVIDIA (Geforce) and Radeon based cards are double wide. Your PC isn't enough physical space for adjustment.  For Radeon 3000 series cards and below with the exception of the no higher than a HD 3650 in the 3000 series. 7000 series lower with some exceptions based on NVIDIA cards. 8000 series: nothing higher than a 8600 model. the 9000 series is a step to go.

  Your power supply is not capable of running the cards I mentioned as exceptions. Your power supply is less than 300W. Powerful graphics cards require more power and additional PCIe power specific connectors.  Read the specifications to ensure that the video card that you are considering doesn't have any additional power supply.

  You can bind the cards that you are considering, and we'll let you know if will agree and will work and why they won't if they are the exceptions.

  Kind regards
