Pavilion P7 - 1050t: update on the Best video card

Hello, I upgraded my Pavilion P7 - 1050t a G620 processor i7 - 2600S with 8 GB of ram. Then, I want to upgrade to a dedicated video card and a new PSU. The State plug a PCIe x 16 expansion slot does not 2.0 or 3.0. I want to make sure that I get the best card I can get maximum use of. Any suggestions?

Cgrech79, welcome to the forum.

New video cards require the UEFI in the motherboard instead of a standard BIOS / Legacy.  HP didn't start using UEFI until mid - October, 2012.  Your motherboard may not be upgraded in the UEFI.  The last video cards that does not need UEFI were 640 gt.  The PCI Express slot is 1.0 unless it is specified otherwise.  The version 2.0 and 3.0 are backward compatible.

I suggest that you determine the video card from the manufacturer that you want to buy and contact their Technical Support to help you choose the best card for your motherboard.

You need to upgrade the power supply (PSU), also.  The current PSU is 250W.  Most newer cards require at least 400W to work properly.  I love Corsair products.  I recommend that you buy a power supply at least 500W.

    Thanks for your help!

    You asked the best video card for the GX 620 minitower then this would be the HD 6670 or 7750 HD.   Apparently, you do not have any dedicated now video card.  If we have linked is too heavy, you will need to give us an idea what you can spend.  Your will does not get a lot for less than $50.  If all want them you want, you can get a HD 6450.  I got one on ebay for $32.

    Windows 7. 64 bit OS

    A Nvidia GT430 or GT520 is better than a 300 watt power supply will manage. If you want a better graphics card than Nvidia or any Radeon HD card you willl need a more powerful power supply. The Corsair CX500 and CX600 are highly recommended and are favorite forum. For more information, read Guide of Big_Dave of a discrete video card selection .

  • What is the best video card for h8 1280t? Because it does not support 700s GTX :(

    I bought a GTX 770 and found HP does not update the bios to take account of the series of video card. TOTALLY LAME. In any case, what IS the best card video, the MB - t supported? (Pegatron ECA2) I have a 550 2 GB GTX OC now so I would like to move to something that is clearly visible to make it useful. Thank you.

    Hello

    HP released a list of HP OEM video cards that will work in the h8 - 1280t.  Look at these specifications.

    The HP h8-1280 is since over 2 years and I don't expect HP to post additional updates.

    If you are having problems with the graphics card no - HP OEM then ask the manufacturer of the video card for redress.

  • What is the best video card?

    Hi, a few days ago, I bought a new dell inspiron 660 s. The intel hd 2000 graphics are disapionting and now I want to upgrade my graphics card to something more powerful. I know he has only 200 watt power beg but I think that there is a low-profile gpu descent that can fit in the machine and powered by 220 watt power supply.

    So I would ask you if you can give me advice on what graphics card to get.

    Thank you

    This is not a good system to be upgraded.  I know that there is a PCIe x 16 slot, but its location is terrible on this model.  I understand why there is no option to upgrade to a video card and have only a power SUPPLY 220 watt PSU does not help matters.   I don't know yet which way of the card fan or radiator would face at the top of the case.

    I don't see something like the HD 5450 or HD 6450 is a lot of improvement.  The HD 6570 would be a good improvement if it will work.   Remember, you need a low profile card that comes with low profile brackets.  Most have the flange fixed size and you will have to change.   The HD 6570 would be better than the GT 630.  The GT 630 you linked just won't work.  It was enlarged and I don't know if the HD 6570 you accessed is delivered with low profile brackets.

  • Best video card for Pavilion p6 recommendation - 2040 has for balanced performance

    Pavilion P6 - 2040a Desk top. Windows 7 pro 64-bit. 8Gig of ram. NVIDIA GeForce GT 520 Direct X 9

    I would like to know the best balanced video card that will compliment the APU used in my desktop pc Pavilion P6 - 2040 has.

    It is currently equipped with a Nvidia GT 520 graphics card, clearly a very basic card as the Windows partitions are only;

    Graphics card: Desktop for Windows Aero 5.3 performance

    The graphics of games; Business 3D & game performance 6.5

    The other partitions are;

    7.1 PROCESSOR

    7.4 RAM

    HD 7.8

    I'm also surprised that, in light of the A8-3800 AMD APU which has the graphics card AMD Radeon HD 6550 integrated that a Radeon graphics card has not been used.

    Bearing in mind the constraints of the nominal power of 300 watts what would be the best video card I can use it will complete the graphic part of the AMD APU and get a higher rating of Windows and I hope to use Direct X 11

    Thank you very much

    I must say that I'm quite disappointed with this PC.

    Unmatcheted RAM 4 and 2 gig from different suppliers.

    I found myself buying little ram Corsair.

    Memory locations only 2 and thus limited to 8 GB of ram

    And now a pathetic videocard poorly matched to the APU and piddly 300 Watt power supply.

    Never another product from HP... NEVER

    This will be the most expensive way to buy a PC

    Shame on you, HP and the glib and slick sales guy.

    This machine is on eBay in recent weeks with no interest whatsoever, I'm not surprised and really angry at myself for having been cheated in this thing. Ahhhhhhhhhhh!

  • Pavilion Slimline s3120N will not recognize the new video card

    I can't get my computer to recognize and use a new video card. I tried 3 cards (GeForce 8400GS... cards 2different and Radeon HD 4550). The computer continues using the onboard video. For each card, I did the following:

    Go to configuration, advanced and changed the main graphics card 'on board' to 'PCI-E '.

    Saved and let the computer start.

    Stop and insert the new video card into the PCI-E slot

    Start the computer and installed the latest driver

    Computer restarts

    No matter what I do, it always uses the embedded video. I am running Windows 7 Home Premium. How can I use the PCI-E slot/video card? Any suggestions?

    I think that your problem may be the power supply unit (PSU).  The video card that you have installed require a minimum of 300W/350W.  The power supply of your computer is perhaps only 180W; 220W at the most.  You can check by opening the case and by reading the label on.  It's just too much difference for the card to function properly.

  • H8 1241: problems with the new video card on h8 1241

    OK, I've seen a lot of posts on this topic, but I couldn't find anything yet. I bought this computer as a windows 7, but have just upgraded to windows 10. The stock video card HDMI port came out, so I ordered an ASUS Geforce gtx 750ti to replace.

    http://www.Amazon.com/GP/product/B00IB9P1KG?PSC=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00

    When I try to boot with the new card I get the blue screen that tells me to Press esc to get into the BIOS, but it is freezing it (I am not able to get into the bios).

    Currently, the only way to make changes are re - insert my old card. I can not even start without secondary card by using the on-Board (which could as a result of the changes that I made in the BIOS). Most of the solutions I've seen involved changes in version 8 of the BIOS but I can't get that. I tried to update my BIOS to the latest version for windows 7, but I don't think it worked b/c I am on windows 10 now.

    Help, please!

    Hello

    The level of your PC motherboard BIOS is not compatible with the cards NVIDIA GXT 7xx series.

    Contact ASUS to obtain redress. ASUS has maybe a video BIOS update or a different graphics card that will work in your PC.

    A NVIDIA GTX 660 new or used may be your best bet.

    Thanks for posting on the forum.

    This slowed the game.  I checked the video card is correct, and hardware accelerator says it's working properly.  This started after I downloaded two optional updates, one of them KB968930.  I uninstalled both of them and tried to restore the system with no result. the rest of the message is "Hardware accelerator is disabled rooms or not supported by your video make sure card driver that you install the latest video card driver and the accelerator is turned on."  I checked these things.

    Download and run install Belarc Advisor and look under the device device/display of the video section. What is the video card listed as (maybe not the memory here.)

    Seems that it is probably an integrated video card and probably share memory with the system - which means that is likely to be located in the BIOS. If you go into THE system BIOS (before any operating system is loaded) you may be able to see and control this part.

    Just look up, the best hypothesis, you set side 32 MB (megabytes) for video memory 1024 MB (megabytes) or 1 GB (gigabyte) memory system.  Two things lead me to this...

    MEM: 32 MB and the total number of 992MB RAM.  If you add 32 MB to 992 MB, you get the 1024Mo - or 1 GB or total system RAM.

    In any case - this is not a game machine.

    Hello

    I would suggest trying the following methods and check if it helps.

    Method 1: make sure the game is compatible with your computer.

    Method 2: update the video card driver and check if that helps.

    Update a hardware driver that is not working properly: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/Update-a-driver-for-hardware-that-isn ' t-work properly

    If both methods fail, you will then need to get a new video card.

    I hope that helps!
