Pavilion 15-n204TX: can I install an another graphics card on my laptop?

I currently have NVIDIA GeForce GT M 740 in my laptop (it's 2GB graphics card). Can I switch to 4 GB?

If so, how?

Thank you.

Hi @_Nish_,.

Thank you for joining the HP Forums!

I understand you're wondering if you can upgrade your NVIDIA GeForce GT 740 M for a 4GB card for your HP Pavilion Notebook 15 - n204TX. I am pleased to see that for you!

The graphics card is soldered directly on the motherboard, which means the card cannot be upgraded because it is a card dedicated to this laptop.

  • Can I get a better graphics card for my laptop?

    Hi, my name is Mitchell and everything a few years ago, I had a laptop computer Hp Pavilion G6.  I use my laptop computer mainly for homework, but now ive started playing games on it and ive noticed that I can play games because the graphics card is not the best.  Instead of making a new pc game, I wanted to just update the graphics card on this subject?  I'm able to buy a graphics card for this and it installed?

    Hello

    What is your G6? G6 is a series of many portable models and normally we cannot upgrade the video card on 99.5% of them. Not only G6, other series laptops from HP and other vendors as well. We can only upgrade video card on some REAL games and machines of class work station.

    Kind regards.

  • Pavilion g6 2230tx: can I update my driver graphic card and RAM

    I had HP g6 2230tx with dedicated 4 GB of ram and raedon graphics card... I want to know if I can update my graphics card with nvidia cards... And if yes what cards are compatible with my camera... And if I can improve my 8 GB RAM...
    I aould want also know is what are the raedon cards and nvidia would be compatible with 8 GB RAM or RAM have nothing to do with the graphics please help...

    Upgrading the video card is a non-starter. The video chip is soldered to the motherboard and not something that can be removed and replaced.

    Here is the Service Manual:

    Manual

    See p. 47

    For 8 GB, the max you need 2 of them:

    4 GB (PC3 12800, 1600 MHz) 641369-001

    http://www.Amazon.com/HP-641369-001-1600Mhz-PC3-12800-memory/DP/B008L325TW/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&QID=1461333553&SR=8-2&keywords=641369-001

    More memory will help the video a bit. Not a lot. You say you have 4 gigs which is not bad, so an upgrade to 8 will do any type of work only a little better and video games a little bit better. Don't expect significant increase in the frequency of images of the games, for example.

    Hi @Lakku ,

    Thank you for visiting the HP Forums! A place where you can find solutions for your problems with the help of the community!

    I stumbled upon your post on the laptop and wanted to help you! I looked in your question about your HP laptop and want to make changes to your systems graphics card.

    Graphics cards are attached to the motherboard on laptops and are related to the processor. Change the graphics card and the processor is very expensive and not a guarantee that it will correct or help speeds. Here is a link that might help improve performance on your system.

    Thank you.

  • Can I install a larger graphics card in my HP desktop computer all-in-one MS200?

    Hey guys, I was wondering if it is possible to install a graphics card in my HP desktop computer all-in-one MS200. I played DayZ, and my FPS is terribly weak. Looking around, I noticed that most of the people say that the problem is that you have a weak graphics card.

    Is it possible to do? If so, what graphics card would you recommend that I buy? (I'm looking for a moderate increase in preformance. I really useless a beast of an upgrade, or something like that).

    The simple answer would be 'impossible '.  Limited models are supported cards MMX, and these are low power.

    If yours is a copy retail, you don't and I don't need to.

    But if yours is an OEM copy (for example if it came pre-installed on)
    your computer, you can not install it on another computer. Your OEM
    license restricted for the first computer, on which it is installed and it
    can never be legally moved to another.

  • Can I update or add to another graphics card

    I have a Pavilion dv7-6c95dx Entertainment PC and I was wondering if I can replace the graphics card intel 3000 or add in another graphics card in order to help him. I was told it was a gaming computer and did not test on games until 3-4 months after that I brought because of school work.

    Hello

    Basically, you can, with a cost and think that this cost can be more expensive than buying a new computer because you have to take into account:

    • New price of the card, and WHERE you can buy it because the laptop cards are not the same office maps. You can't buy any normal store,
    • Need new card system (can be),
    • Need new system of cooling because in general more powerful card pumps out more heat (you want more powerful card don't you?).
    • May need new power supply because your current diet is not suitbale for the card. (I ordered a machine with the Nvidia card and I need to order a 90W charger at the same time, not the normal charger 65W. They rejected just my order.)
    • Cost of the work.
    • Packages a lot, a lot of aspirin.

    In your machine, you definitely need a new motherboard.

    I hope this helps.

  • I can't install my quickbooks 2010 on my new laptop with Windows 8

    Original title: Installation of quickbooks 2010 on Windows 8

    Help!  I can't install my quickbooks 2010 on my new laptop with Windows 8.  Does anyone know the tricks?

    It is a wrong answer to the question. QuickBooks 2010 cannot be installed from the CD because the CD tries to install Flash and Flash is already built into Windows 8. The solution is to download QuickBooks from Intuit web site and install the downloaded version. It installs without problem and works very well.

  • To install a different graphics card on my Satellite A20

    Hello

    I want to install a different graphics card on my SA20 - S103.

    For the moment, it's the standard Trident card that is currently running.

    Is it possible to install a gforce or radeon chip?
    If so, what would be the best?

    Hello Stefan,

    Unfortunately, I don't think it will be possible to replace the graphics card Trident with another because it is an integrated design that uses shared RAM. Indeed, your graphics card has been designed to adapt to your laptop and would be virtually impossible to find a card that is similarly designed from another manufacturer.

    Unlike the desktop or tower where the graphics card is a separate device that can only be unplugged and replaced, the graphics chip of your laptop is usually built into the design in order to save space.

    Kind regards

  • Can I update the graphics card in my laptop?

    Hi people,


    I want to know if I can upgrade the graphics card to my laptop.

    Now, a day most of the high-end gaming is not

    working in my laptop and I'm very disappointed.

    Please let me know if I can do it. My laptop model

    HP  Pavilion DV5 1106AX.

    Hello:

    Unfortunately in most laptops today (including your own), the graphics may not be upgraded.

    I watched the service manual for your laptop, and there is no similarly to other motherboards with better graphics available.

    You can try the latest drivers from AMD to see if that helps, but you can't do anything with the material.

  • Is satellite A10 - possible to install the new graphics card?

    Hello

    I have a videocard Satelite A10, 2.2 Ghz, 712 MB of RAM, provided with your computer.

    I just bought the Sims 2 and thought from the specifications that I would be able to play on my current card. However when I try to run it it gets to the intro screen and then hangs when it is ready to go into the Menu. My first impressions are that I don't have a pretty good graphics card.

    I need a 32 MB T & L capable card so can someone confirm if this is why it would not work on the system.

    If that's the case I'm looking to see if it is possible to install a new graphics card on the machine I want to play more games to date.

    the map I'm looking at is Sapphire ATI Radeon 9600 XT 256 MB AGP8X graphics card. It will work on the machine and it is likely to solve my problem?

    Thank you

    HI Jeff,

    In General, it is not possible to change the graphics card in your laptop. This is because the graphics cell are generally not a component separated (as with a normal PC), but generally a specific graphic chip attached to the motherboard so make the graphics a part of the laptop.

    At the same time, the graphics driver is normally a specially modified version will omit some of the more esoteric aspects of the normal driver to minimize the risk of overheating chip since it does not have its own cooling system. Given this, you will find probably than trying to load the latest graphic website manufacturers drivers (Nvidia, ATI, etc.) will not work, and you will therefore be limited to these pilots provided by Toshiba on their Web site.

    In order to get your copy of the SIMS 2 to run you need to omit or reduce some of the graphics settings in the game itself, or alternatively, you can try to use some of the graphics third-party drivers that are written to provide some of the omitted features of the original notebook drivers. Note that if you do that there is no guarantee that they won't cause your overheating graphics chip, even if I used the ATI Omega drivers for some time now without any problems. You can get them: -.
