P6-2285eo: the GPU upgrade in my office of p6-2285eo friends

Hello.  My friend has a p6-2285eo office. It works fine and everything. However, he would like to improve its gpu, as GT 640 is detrimental to its performance in the games.  That's why I sold him my old R9 280 X (model XFX). And I got a new power supply, an Antec 700w (80 more bronze certified).  But for some reason his mother (Hp Pavilion 670960-001) does not work with the new gpu. Everything but the gpu lights.

You have any ideas on what is wrong?

-Sumsar

Hello

The R9 AMD 280 X is a card active UEFI. Windows 7 will generally not run in UEFI mode unless you take special measures during installation and also if the BIOS has a compatibility support module (CSM), which will allow Windows 7 be supported as one 'other' OS type so that UEFI can be activated for the installation of W7. This is not a simple process.

I suggest that you try a NVIDIA GTX 660.

    I went to the website of HP and the BIOS update. still no luck.

    We have added some third-party RAM. I tried to remove the third-party RAM to see if it was the question. Does not solve it. I tried to remove the OEM ram and install just the 3rd part of RAM, but has not made a difference either.

    There is not BIOS version 8 available. Your situation is not a happy scenerio.

  • HP dc7800 small form factor: the GPU UPGRADE

    Hello Sir,

    My motherboard will be support nvidia gtx 660 if I upgrade my power supply 500w or 600w. and I have core 2 quad q9550 processor.

    Small form factor PC is poor candidates for upgrades.

    They are PC entry level designed and produced to run software on corporate networks office productivity.

    A power supply for a Mini PC upgrade won't be over 240 Watts as far as I know.

    There has been a lot of people who are looking to save money by buying a small form factor PC entry and believe they can be upgraded as a PC game.  It's just not really practical. You may be able to upgrade the video card that can run games modern, but adding that a video card beasty and just food will not happen.

    Read through some of the threads where many people try in vain to upgrade their PCs. If you want a gaming machine, it is better to buy one or make one yourself.

  • Need of advice, the GPU upgrade and power

    Since this is my first post here I would start by saying hello to everyone. I recently bought an HP Elite M9400t Core 2 Duo Quad 2.5 GHz. It came with 4 GB of ram and an its Soundblaster wireless Xtreme pci-e card but unfortunately only came with an Nvidia 9300 GE, which is more or less a rebadged Nvidia 8400. I would like to know what are my options for the upgrade. I would like to upgrade a 680 to 700 watt power supply food to accommodate the new GPU and I've had my eye on the Geforce GTX 260, but the thing is 10.5 inches long. I measured and it would be a tight fit, but the PSU cables would be in the way, unless I went the way of a modular power supply. HP came with a 350 watt PSU. Tell me a 350 Watt power supply would be sufficient to run say a Nvidia 9600 gt or say a solution simple 9800 gt slot. They all have two minimum system requirements of 400 watts... But.  And. will be a more recent judgment out of the PSU shelves fit in my case? And there at - it no real advantage to using the modular power supply she calls space-saving? Thank you for your help in advance.

    This 9600 GSO is easily from 550 to 700 MHz overclock with ATI tool or equivalent, to put it in with the 9800 GTX.

  • HP p6709c: the gpu upgrade

    Hi so I bought recently an Asus GeForce gtx 950, I also change the power supply to a cx600 corsair, however the issue I'm having is after plugging everything in my computer seems to freeze at the hp logo. I read somewhere that I have to disable secure boot however my dose of bios aren't that option and it is updated to the latest version. So I was wondering if there is anyway to solve this problem, if not, then what graphics cards my motherboard will be able to support that I'll buy the graphics card to play a decent quality overwatch and cadence

    You're welcome, @Cakencandlez.  Thank you for the additional information.

    Recommended for Overwatch video cards are nVidia GTX 660 and the AMD Radeon HD 7950 better.  I think that the GTX 660 would be a good thing.  You need to measure the space where the card will be installed to ensure that it fits.  Measure the distance between the i/o back pinned to the front of the case.  The card is 9.5 "in length.  I think it fits, but it will be very tight.

  • GPU upgrade 2 GB Evga GTX 550 Ti suggestions?

    I am looking to upgrade to a 970 GTX Gigabyte G1 Gaming or an EVGA if I'm looking at other brands as well.

    Budget around $350.00 USD.

    I'm still doing research and research with options open but I'm really more leaning to the Nvidia 970.

    My CPU is limiting the PCI-E x 16 running at 2.0 speeds, but even with that, I think that the 970 would be

    the best choice in the GPU upgrade.  Thoughts or alternatives?  You want something that works long term and not just

    buy something cheap, until the next thing comes.

    I'm NOT a gamer I mainly webdesign so a lot of image, video and audio editing. I'm more a combination

    between an advertising marketing exec and a web developer with programming in PHP, JavaScript and all back-end

    stuff with databases and also web video and audio stuff etc... I just combine it all in the title of Web Designer for the conversation

    who actually confuses real webdesigners because I build a LOT more than just html and css pages.

    It is a type of prosumer system where it is used for work and entertainment. Watching movies and streaming video

    This works well on the current computer and I actually don't really need more of an upgrade beyond the GPU as this computer

    It meets my needs and has 2 years.  I expect to keep for a few years, I have built computers that will last

    me 3 to 5 years, will eventually build a new, but for now everything works great.

    I honestly don't care about having the biggest and best just something that will work for more than a year or two and meet my needs.

    But it seems that the GPU tech is going through a revolution where the old technology begins to be depreciated and will not be taken in charge a large part

    in the future I am looking to get a new video card might as well go with the new stuff now so it will be supported in the long term

    everyone at some point.

    I'm just confused by models and manufacturers or resellers who slap their label on Nvidia technology.  Who is the best with little no.

    problems.  EVGA seems to be popular, it's my current card brand, but I like the Gigabyte G1 with additional display ports and

    possibility of having 4 monitors at the same time IF it can be inserted into my system, it's HUGE.

    -------------------------

    Hardware specifications:

    PSU: VisionTek 800W < == will be upgrade to a 750 or 850-Watt Seasonic, Antec or Evga also.

    Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-H61M-S2PV ver 2.0

    CPU: Intel CPU i7-2600 @ 3.40 GHz Stock using stock intel cooler fan

    HD: 3 x - 1 to disk WD Blue and two black discs

    Memory: 16 GB Ram 2 x - 8 GB memory-crucial

    The blue drive is the system drive to the approximately 700 GB of the disk format and divided in two with

    Windows 7 64 bit Pro and 8.1 of Windows in dual boot.  No SSD not because of the MOBO only being 3 GB and not 6.

    It was custom built by a store of the local computer that is off from where go out of business.

    The upgrade of processor or motherboard is NOT an option that some purchased software is old school licensed

    with attached directly to the CPU and the MOBO that cost more than the entire computer to buy

    licenses (not associated with Adobe Professional software).  In addition the upgrade MOBO or CPU, you are required to

    Microsoft to buy a new license for windows and windows 7 can probably just reactivated windows 8 can not.

    This motherboard is a motherboard micro, I didn't know that until recently. I did not build the computer myself.

    I had no idea of what food was until a few days ago, but everything worked 100% for about 2 years.

    I'll have to update the bios of the motherboard before actually being able to use the new video card, but others have the same model

    and it seems to work as well... I have a request to Gigabyte but just to check before actually buying.

    Remember though it is a Ti 550 video card I currently have and almost any update would see great improvement.

    Physical size wise how much greater is the 970 compared to 550 it 2 GB Evga gtx?   I add 2 GB because it

    are other 550 which are totally different aspect that my card.

    Also if you have any suggestions for the PSU that would be much too.   So far Seasonic, Antec and EVGA are brands that seem to

    forthcoming models much earlier.  Not sure about the rating as some out Bronze models perform other models gold or Platinum so...

    Budget about $150.00 USD for a new power supply too.

    Thanks for reading this and for any suggestion, sorry that I can't upgrade mobo or cpu to be able to run amok with ideas, it is some what may be limiting.

    Essentially, it's the GPU and PSU will extend my current level of use of a few years and the GPU has better performance even with

    the other tech and bottlenecks in this particular system.

    Like Bob of the Peru said. The money you would have spent on a GTX 970 would have been much larger than any improvement in performance that you could achieve (on a systemic basis, not only a specific component). In fact, the cost of a single GTX 970 would have been almost as much money as the rest of your entire system combined - and yet, the upgrade provides more than an improvement of 5 to 10 percent in terms of total return.

    Very recently, I upgraded an i7 - 3770K and Z77 to an i7 - 4790K and Z97. Mainly because I wanted to spend my project/player and cache drive to SSD (s) in the not too distant future. (The Z77 supports two SATA 6.0 Gbps ports and 4 SATA ports 3.0 Gbps in native mode, which is the impetus for this upgrade). But in order to take account of the upgrade of the CPU, I had to get off my GPU slightly to a 660 GTX for a GTX 750 Ti (for my particular workflow, GTX 750 it performed almost as well as the GPU high-end in terms of overall performance of the system).

    That said, there are reasons to move a GPU for a GPU to budget (or even ultra-low-budget, for that matter) to a 'Warrior' or the 'monster' GPU. But improving rendering performance on such a limited as LGA 1155 Sandy Bridge platform is not one of them. And a GPU upgrade is valid IMHO only if the rest of the construction of PC is to speed - with a much higher total system start-up costs.

    Moreover, a single 1 TB WD black or blue (versions WD10EZEX and WD1003FZEX, respectively) may not achieve the best 180 - ish MB/sec - and it's on the outside tracks of his tray. A HDD WD four-year-old (Blue WD10EALS or Black WD1002FAEX) at 7200 RPM have barely hit 125 MB/s on the outside rails. As such, with disks one alone, I agree with the other responses: remember to save it upward to an i7-4790 a W97 chipsets motherboard instead of lose a single penny on this generation i7-2600/H61 (your current system, by the way, is completely maxed out on RAM to only 16 GB total - and you can not pass the RAM any more far away).

    In other words, your current PC is, indeed, obsolete (as in "cancelled" or 'is there something better now in this category', not ' is no longer useful or usable").

  • Can satellite M40-231 - I upgrade the GPU (graphics card)?

    Hi all

    My Satellite M40-231 has an ATI Mobility Radeon X 600 SE and I would like to upgrade to deal with the demands of today's games, but also a new HARD drive, but the latter, I think that I can go as far as the 120 GB HARD drive.

    SUGESTIONS are welcome.

    TKS

    Sorry, buddy, but this is not possible!
    There are several discussions about upgrading the GPU on mobile phones and all the threads said the same thing that's not possible.

    The point is that most graphic cards chips are outside the motherboard and cannot be deleted.
    You must understand that technology for portable computers is not the same thing as the technology of desktop PCs and more upgrades are not possible.

    Which could be upgraded are the memory modules and HARD drive.

    Yes, you can upgrade, simply follow the recommendations of the manufacturer of the graphics card on the connectors and the power of the power supply.

    You have a PCI Express x 16 (Gen 3.0) card slot there will be plenty of choice for video cards.

The AMD HDX850WFK42GM is a processor of Deneb TDP of 95 watts, so it should work on your computer. Geforce GTX660, while it is a little big, must match your computer...

    Maybe it's a very long post, but please answer because I really need answers to each of these questions and I really want to upgrade my laptop to the best configuration, if I CAN.

    Let me make this clear first.

    * In the next contained the words 'this portable' always refers to Hp Pavilion 15-n201ax *.
    Good then everything first I read somewhere that the maximum Ram of this laptop can be expanded up to 16 GB, but i came up with this link here-

    http://h30434.www3.HP.com/T5/hardware-upgrades-replacements/I-would-like-to-upgrade-memory-of-my-lap...

    And then I came to know that it can only be upgraded to 12 GB page chapter 1 Description this Guide - #2

    http://h10032.www1.HP.com/CTG/manual/c04438537.PDF

    First of all I would like to ask, is that,

    1. can I buy a RAM of any brand but the same 1600 mhz clock speed ofc IE?, then can I go to the GSkill 1600 Mhz DDR3 4 GB of ram?

    2. the size matter for respective locations? or I can install the 8 GB and 4 GB of ram in any other slots?

    So this was all about the RAM

    But I need to know if I can change the discrete GPU and the APU of this laptop

    3 and if yes - which are compatible mobile GPU that I can install by removing the previous one ie AMD 8600 M (for example graphics R9, R7 and R5 for laptop)

    4 and who are the compatible APU I can install by removing the APU previous IE AMD APU A10 - 4655 M (for example the AMD FX APU for laptops)

    5. If I can upgrade the GPU and APU both please tell makes compatibility issues? as only a specific GPU can work with a specific APU IE as in this laptop AMD APU A10 - 4655M + AMD 8600 M GPU.

    Please help me, please.

    Thanks in advance.

    Pavilion 15-n201ax?

    We may need to refer to the owner's manual here:

    Your repair manuals

    Officially, it supports only 12 concerts. Your model has a single module of 8 GB if you have an open slot. Unofficially, users here can have reported that add another 8 GB for a total of 16 concerts will work fine. It's something you take the risk of making but it is not official.

    The part numbers for the appropriate memory are listed on page 42. You must DDR3L-1600 SO-DIMM.

    If you want to go formal, the 4 GB module is: 691740-001

    Is this on amazon.com:

    http://www.Amazon.com/HP-691740-001-1600MHz-PC3L-12800-memory/DP/B00CI08FX4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&QID=1437948185&SR=8-1&keywords=691740-001

    You just leave the concert 8 where it is and add the new memory into the open slot.

    On your laptop model, the GPU/APU is soldered to the motherboard. In order to make any upgrade, you will need to buy a new motherboard. You have an idea together wrong GPU/APU can be removed and replaced and this is incorrect. The term APU refers to a processor that has integrated video, so the whole issue on the compatibility between the GPU and APU just missing the mark. On some systems, the GPU/APU is socketed and can be replaced which is used to replace/upgrade the processor and the video function but as stated above, on your this involves pulling and replacing the entire motherboard.

    There is available a little better/graphics processor using AMD A10 - 5745M 8670 M (2.9 GHz/2.1 GHz, 2 GB L2, 1333 MHz DDR3L Quad 25W) for use with Standard Windows. The part of the motherboard is 734824-501

    HP does not store the Council, but I found this line:

    http://www.discounteddealz.com/product.asp?Itemid=327740&gclid=CO78y6rn-cYCFQmCaQodOP0GLQ

    Never heard of this seller and can not be a guarantor, but the price is very reasonable for this Council. I was expecting to be a little more makes me wonder about this seller a little. I would advise to keep what you have. He is very strong for AMD and the upgrade to the Commission on the A10-5745 will result in only a very small increase in performance to a very high cost in money and efforts.

  • Think of the GPU for Alienware M17x R4 upgrade

    Hello

    I plan to upgrade the GPU on my Alienware m17x R4. Currently I have a Nvidia Geforce GTX 660 m, but I'm looking to possibly go to the 680 (or perhaps a more powerful if there is one for Nvidia cards).

    I just had a few things I want to clarify before committing to anything whatsoever. First of all, my warranty would allow me to upgrade this component or it would be zero if I did (I heard various things about it, especially as you can, but depending on your region for the most part. I live in England and I think I'm ok but just want to double check).

    Second, so far, I'm having little luck finding graphics cards for laptops for sale online. I was able to contact dell about buying one of them directly (If Yes, who is better to ask?) or are there other places I look for them?

    Thank you very much in advance guys!

    Bobby

    Hi Bobby,.

    The 680 m from NVIDIA is one of the good GPU right now. The warranty on the computer will stay as it is except the video card replaced (a video card will get a separate guarantee which is quoted at the time of purchase).

    You can message NataliaatAW or use the link below to contact Dell UK. They can help you in the purchase of GPU:

    Alienware m17x R4

    run GPU Nvidia Geforce GTX 660 m

    Ive been upgraded my laptop and updated my ram and hard drives, and bought a Nvidia Geforce GTX 980 m update kit. I know not how to change video and easily installed maps (grounding prevent me electrostatic and protect the card). passed to the map intel before the upgrade and after the first device manager start that he read as standard VGA adapter and its status is that it wouldn't start. I updated my bios and updated the driver for the pilot to 980 m from nvidia and changed the graphics card to the new by using the fn + f7 command and rebooted my computer.

    at the start he gave me a blank screen and the 8 beep error code. He looked up and I think it's a faulty card or bad memory on the card. contacted eurocom support and they think that there's a way to get it to work but I'm not so sure. It's the weekend, so they don't come back to me until Monday. someone at - it experience with this or know what I can do now? I am currently back on my card to 660 m.

    Everything you did before but not FN + F7 at the end. However, I'd install drivers Nvidia from Dell this time. The last Dell has is either 347.52 (WHQL-quality; you can get this driver from the Alienware support page 13/15/17 R2 on the Dell support site) or 350,12 (beta for Dell). There are also 347.90, but it is quite difficult to find a complete driver for this driver.

    When you uninstall the drivers of the GPU, use DDU. It's just a more sure way to uninstall the drivers.
