Pavilion 9220y video card update

Hello
I was hoping that an expert can help me upgrade/configure a new video card for a desktop HP Pavilion Elite 9220y.

I have done the research to shed light on the issue, but would REALLY appreciate some help!

So just that the machine has now integrated ATI Radeon HD 4350 - that it comes with, who I am is of course very well for the casual user, but I want a massive update to play new games.  Unfortunately, I'm stuck with this computer, so I can't build a new machine custom, so I just want to update my video card today... the rest of the system works very well if.

My questions are:

  • Can I upgrade the video card on this specific computer HP Pavillion 9220y?
  • I read that I can replace the card using the PCIex16 slot? but is this slot PCI-E 1.0 or 2.0?  I could not find in the sheets...
  • If so, what kind of cards are compatible with it and are good for games?
  • I buy a power supply additionanl to run the additional power demand?  If so, what is a good thing that will work for the 9220y? http://www.Newegg.com/store/subcategory.aspx?subcategory=58&name=power-supplies

It's just a lot to wrap around my head and I want to make sure I go about it the right way, before you update or buy anything!
Again, any help would be appreciated more
Steve

Hi Steve,.

1. Yes, you can install a video card in your PC.

2. the discrete graphics card will move into the slot PCI-E x 16.  HP is not posting slot PCI-E card, but a video designed to the 2.0 PCI card will normally be backward compatible with the PCI 1.x ports.

3 game cards have different levels of performance and your choice will depend on the game being used and set of parameters. Check out forum and the game manufacturer's web site and see what others are using.

4. more decent video cards will require a bigger power supply.  The p9220y has only a 300 Watt power supply.

Here are the specifications of the motherboardfor the p9220y. Since most of the better video cards are wider than normal single slot card, then adjacent locations on the PCI-E x 16 slot must be vacant.

I make a few suggestions, but I'm really in the dark about your playing conditions.

TheCorsair CX600should have enough power for most video cards.

TheNVIDIA GTX 550 TIshould have enough power for most video games with the higher settings. Screen resolution is a factor of performance.

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

  1. Specifications
  2. Total power - important
  3. amperage 12 + v - important
  4. Modular - is not required, but I like the flexibility
  5. Warranty
  6. I7 and SLI ready
  7. Efficiency rating
  8. Cost
  9. The physical size - standard ATX PSU is 5.5 "by 5.9" by 3.4 "give or take a few tenths
  10. Only one + 12 volt rail is a better choice.

www.Newegg.com has many choices of power supplies.  Corsair, OCZ, Rosewill, Thermaltake...

Review the performance of NVIDIA specifications. Look at the specifications of strip memory bandwidth and level of DirectX support.

    Now that I know what your question is really, Yes, I think that this video card will work perfectly with a 400W or better food.

    It's a nVidia card, enter a PC with a nVidia chipset. The PCIe slot on the motherboard based on the age of the PC should be 2.0/2.1.

    Thanks for looking at my post. I have a desktop PC HP Pavilion p6610f that runs on an operating system Windows 7 and Athlonll X 4 635 (P) 2.9 GHz (95W) processor. The office itself is really great, but I'm not able to run PC games so intended to update my video card. For this, I needed food uprage. It has 250 W.

    So my question is, can I LEVEL MY POWER SUPPLY UNIT? and if I can, that one you offer me to buy. Please give me the link. I was looking for a 600 and more watt power supply.

  • Need video card update

    How can I tell what type of video card is compatible with my laptop (HP Pavilion ze5700)? I have an ATI RS200M Radeon IGP 345 M and I know that I can't update. I decided not to get another laptop right now and I would like to upgrade this laptop as much as possible. If you need more information, please let me know. Thanking you in advance for your help and information.

    Unfortunately, not really. There are external video cards, but they cost about as much as a new laptop. Also they do not type game video most of the time; they are designed to add the ability to use a third-party monitor or a fourth. External solutions pretty powerful little require an expresscard slot, which you don't have.

  • 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!

  • HP Pavilion p6505f video card upgrade

    I couldn't find another post for this model, so I create a new one to ask for help.

    My mom has a HP Pavilion p6505f I want to upgrade for it, specifically the video card. She recently bought. It seems that the power supply is only 250watts, so I guess that will have to be upgraded. I need the machine to be able to play WoW at a decent rate. I am interested if anyone has recommendations on a good video card for the power of this system and recommendations (will fit a generic, or what I should order from HP? and what power range should I aim for, 500 +?). The computer came with a lot of RAM (4 GB) and a lot of space (1 to).

    Thanks for any help!

  • HP 625 video card update

    Hello

    I would like to know if I can update/change my video card on my HP 625 model

    Hello:

    N °

    The video chip is part of the motherboard and the entire motherboard must be replaced by another which has better graphics (if any).

    The attendant costs for doing such a thing would exceed the cost of buying a new laptop with the desired video solution.

  • Pavilion a6200n: Pavilion a6200n video card upgrade

    I know that I need to upgrade the PSU also, but this card would work with the system?

    Tanks for your advice.

    Uroboros1200, welcome to the forum.

    I think that the card should work without any problems.  However, because it requires only 300W to work correctly, I suggest buying the card and try it with the current power supply (PSU).  The worst that will happen is that the system does not start.  When you do that, you replace the power supply.  The manufacturers recommend more power need to protect themselves.

  • Aspire the XC-605 video card update

    Hi all

    I recently bought an Aspire XC-605 and I need help, so I hope you guys can help out me. It comes with an integrated only video card. I wanted to update the graphs so I bought a card Asus HD 6450 Silent PCIe. I installed the card and booted the computer and nothing appears on the screen any card (Asus or integrated) I plug the HDMI cable.

    Do not know how to proceed at this point. I went into the BIOS to see if I could disable the onboard graphics, but there is no other choice. I think that maybe it's a power issue? I don't know anything about power supplies, but certainly one that comes with the system is not standard size.

    Can someone point me in the right direction?

    Thanks for your help!

    Hi pchandra

    The video card you have is a low power card - it needs about 75 watts and draws its power from the PCIe slot, so your XC-605 feeding should be enough.

    There may be a problem with the graphics card. I suggest to try the card in another PC to rule out a problem with it. If it does not work in the second PC, the card will be replaced.

    If there is no setting in the BIOS, it adjusts automatically, usually the output, so if you insert a card, it will default to it. Similarly, if you delete it, it should default to the integrated graphics card.

    Try the card in another PC and let us know how you get on...

    There is really no quality maps of game on the market for your computer's power supply. 250 watt power supply is too low for this kind of maps and will need to be replaced if you want use more add-in PCIe x 16 graphics cards.

  • HP Pavilion dv6t video card goes wrong, it can replace?

    I bought my HP Pavilion dv6t in November 2009, and only in the last days, I started getting video artifacts in the display of web pages, pictures on web pages and so on.  I guess it's a problem with the video RAM.  I don't know what video card I have; but my invoice lists Intel(r) Graphics Media Accelerator 4500MHD.

    My question is about whether the video card can be replaced on this computer or do I have to buy a new motherboard?  If the latter, is it better to bite the bullet and get a new computer?  I hate doing this, because it is good in all other means and is not yet two years old

    Thanks in advance for your help

    Hello

    To be sure that the problem is with the video card, it may be interesting to connect the laptop to an external display to see if the video artifacts are still present

    If they are, then the problem is most likely to be with the graphics chip Intel - this chip is physically soldered to the motherboard and therefore, is not a replaceable component, so you would get a new MB.  Personally, given the cost of replacing the motherboard, I would choose the possibility of a new laptop

    @MagicToast, welcome to the forum.

    I think that the card will be compatible with your motherboard.  It will be a tight fit, but if you do a few cables, it should be good.  However, you need to upgrade your power supply unit (PSU) at least 600 w.  The card requires at least 500W runs correctly.  I love Corsair products.  If you buy a modular PSU it will allow you to use only the cables that are absolutely necessary to allow better flow of air.  A more powerful card will create more heat.
