Hi there @Jason1966,

That the Forums are with you!  I understand that you are looking for advice on upgrading a graphics card.  I'm happy to help you with this.

Please report the number of complete product from your computer. Check out the following, if you need assistance with this information. HP desktop PC - how can I find my model number, serial number or product?  Once I got that I can give you more in the way of what to look for.

In general, you should know what types of expansion slots your computer is available. More recent graphics cards will focus you on PCI Express x 16 slots and their willingness to be a version or the generation of these slots.  If the motherboard has only Gen 1.0, and the graphics card is Gen 3.0, then the card would work, but it will run more slowly he would in a slot of Gen 3.0. So you want to look at the capacity of your computer's power supply. A common value is 300 W. Higher end graphics cards will be a requirement of minimum recommended power of 400 W or more, although there are cards with a lower requirement. It is always better to have a power that exceeds the minimum value. Also related to food some graphics cards require extra power of a specific type connections. You must make sure that your diet has these connections available. Then, make sure that the card has drivers for the operating system installed on your computer, and if the card is UEFI, make sure that your system has UEFI.

If all these parameters are filled between your system and the card, the graphics card should work, but there is never a guarantee, because each computer system is as an individual, once it's in the hands of a user. You may have already installed another device that is in conflict with this card or perhaps a software which does not get her drivers graphics. So long story short, it is not easier to just buy a better card, you need to do some research.

I hope this helps clarify the issues for you and if you find it helpful and useful, please mark this message as a solution. Bravo would be appreciated as well.

    Unfortunately, the GPU is not extensible in these units.  You will need to update the whole motherboard package, which would be costly and cause potential reliability problems in the future.  Your best option would be to upgrade to a laptop more recent with the GPU and the plug, you need.

  • HP Pavilion g7 - 2233cl: graphic upgrade on a g7

    Hello, I recently had Fallout 4 and with all the settings that are turned down and Amd settings implemented, there is still enough lag and slow to play. Is there something to do to improve performance and I read on external graphics cards. Is there one who would work with G7 Pavilion?

    OK good point. You have an A8 - 4500M that has a video AMD 7640 G included in the APU. You could install a 10 - 4600M gives you an AMD 7660 G graphics card. You would get a little better performance:

    http://www.game-debate.com/GPU/index.php?gid=1024&gid2=1000&compare=Radeon-HD-7640g-vs-Radeon-HD-7660g

    It run better if there is memory in dual channel mode.

    If you grabbed me and there is a possibility, but not a great. We'll find the A10 - 4600M for maybe $ 50 eBay and so on. If you are a mobile computer tech and can do the upgrade of processor I think that for $50, it may be worth. If you pay someone to do it and it costs more expensive like $150-200, not worth it.

  • F004dx Pavilion 17: Pavilion 17 AMD Radeon HD graphics card Windows 7 drivers f004dx

    I'm downgrading my Pavilion 17 f004dx to Windows 7 Pro.  I have the Pro Windows 7 64 bit responsible and all windows updates for it so far.  I'm having a problem with the installation of the video drivers.  For some reason any the AMD Catalyst video driver utility does not see the specific video hardware video card model AMD Radeon HD graphics on the display card.  Windows 7 Pro keeps defining it as the "Standard VGA graphics card".  Does anyone know what it should be showing under display adapters in Device Manager.

    Is there anything I can do to get Windows 7 Pro 64 bit to recognize the graphics card AMD Radeon HD, so the AMD Catalyst software will be able to load the correct video drivers?

    Please advise...

    Thank you!

    Hello:

    I think I finally found a driver that works.

    None of the other drivers that we tried was the hardware ID for the GPU to your laptop, but this one doesn't.

    This package provides the AMD graphics driver high definition (HD) and Catalyst Control Center for models of laptop computers that are running an operating system supported. For laptops equipped with switchable graphics modes, this package contains the drivers for the two graphics (GPU). Switchable graphics allow users to switch between a graphical power mode (normally used under the power of the battery) and a mode of graphics performance. If the video output high-definition multimedia interface (HDMI) is supported, this package also installs the HDMI Audio Driver.

    File name: sp69161.exe

    You may need to install the driver manually if auto installation does not work.

  • Pavilion t441.uk, graphic upgrade

    Is it possible to update the graphics on the t441.uk.  You want to play FM 2011 and it is so slow. I've already updated the Ram. But I don't understand how the graphics upgrade works.

    My norton 360 says my computer is the RADEON 9200 128 MB video card, it says I have a secondary school the same as well.

    Hello Rascal, apparently, your system may be a little old to run any recent video games.

    Here a link to the plug on the motherboard, and it shows the system comes with 512 MB of system memory and a maximum of 1 GB of system memory.

    It also has a video feature embedded VIA with 64 MB of video card memory. It has a slot machine video AGP.

    Carpet is it possible to upgrade the video card AGP, but I doubt you'd see much improved performance.

    Just some thoughts.

  • AMD Radeon HD graphics card 8570D

    I'm not sure of the power supply.  Can I update the graphics card for iRacing?  Right now I get about 54 to 66 FPS with about 20 cars on the track and all my graphic details at low temperature and a bit off.  Thank you.

    Hello

    I'm not sure of what you ask for because you indicated that you are sure that it is the CPU but you have what it takes to update the graphics card.   You can use the management tasks (resource monitor) to monitor the CPU usage while the game is active and see if the CPU is limited (more than 70%).

    There is no way to predict how 20 cars will react to? resolution settings and unknown game?

    Install a Corsair power SUPPLY 600w PSU and give the NVIDIA one 760 go.  Find out what the return policy is before you buy.

  • HP Pavilion 15 laptop: Possibility to upgrade the video card or processor?

    Hello

    I wonder if I can improve my laptop so I can run some games (better). I'm sorry if this has been asked before for this model. Here is my card:

    Productnaam:HP PC portable Pavilion 15
    Productnummer:J8D20EA #ABH
    Totaal geheugen:6.00 GB
    APU A8-6410 Processornaam:AMD with AMD Radeon R5 graphics card

    Thank you very much.

    The model number is 15-p053nd. There is unfortunately no way to upgrade. On this model the processor and the video are soldered on the motherboard so that the only way to update something would be to replace the motherboard. A motherboard replacement with a processor and upper specification video card will cost as much as the computer laptop everything worth it and would still need to be installed. Also, you already have a system that is so he has very much put at level square, near the top anyway.

  • AMD High Def Graphics Driver

    I bought a new HP Pavilion m6 2 weeks ago and when I have the HP Support Assistant ru it tells me to download the AMD High Def Graphics Driver - this that I do, but he returns constantly with - AMD High Def Graphics Driver is not installed or is not working properly - once again I am trying to download and so on and so forth.

    What am I supposed to do about it?

    Make sure you download the right driver from AMD.  Save it!  Then, run it and choose uninstall.  This will remove all old or incorrect AMD drivers, and you have to restart your computer.   When it restarts go to computer-> downloads and right-click on the AMD driver and click Run as administrator.  This will install the new driver of hi-def.

  • Pavilion dv7 - 4283cl: two graphics cards?

    I was looking in the Device Manager on my laptop, trying to find the specs on my display driver that I've always had problems with it, and I see (what I think are) two display drivers!

    Is this normal?

    You are the very welcome.

    You can use the AMD driver listed on your laptop support page.

    It is a custom driver developed by AMD/Intel to work specifically with the graphical configuration has your laptop.

    Any attempt to update the driver through windows update, go to the AMD or Intel sites to find newer drivers will cause the switchable graphics to stop working correctly.

    I do have any laptops with switchable graphics, so I can't help you with how to address the issue that you have other than what I said above.

    Here is some additional info from HP describes the amd/intel switchable graphics works.

    Your laptop is the switchable graphics fixed or dynamics.

    http://h20564.www2.HP.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docid=emr_na-c02731962

    You will need to read the info on the link to determine what chart type of installation your laptop has.

    You cannot change one to the other.  That's what it is... fixed or dyamic.

    But if you have installed any graphics driver, you will need to uninstall the intel and amd graphics cards, restart the PC and reinstall the driver graphic HP amd.

    I know that the graphics driver of HP swithcable is outdated, but HP is not update unless there is a bug known.

    Must be too expensive for them to get with AMD/Intel to develop constantly the updated drivers is all I can surmise.
