Pavilion p7 - 1226 s video card upgrade

Summary:

I want to improve my system with the highest rated PassMark reference video card that my system will support with my current 300W power supply.

Details:

I bought a new Pavilion p7 - 1226 s last month with the intention of upgrading the system with more memory, another hard drive internal and a new card video - over time. I'm not a power user; I just want to keep my skills in the game with these actions.

The last system I upgraded has been focused on the PCI so I was excited about the capabilities of PCI-E 2.0 of this system for the video upgrade. I considered the 300W PSU to be of sufficient size to allow a decent upgrade. I went to Nvidia.

I believe that the integrated video (HD 2000?) in my system of registers somewhere between 245 and 375 refers.

The Geforce GT 430 and 440 again specify a power of 300W. Their notes are respectively 667 and 830.

I wonder if my system will support these cards.  So, I write this way. If it is not, my question then becomes "what video card my system will support? Double width would be perfect. There seems to be a lot of physical space of the card.

I think that most video cards specify not only power but rated current. These current ratings can be anywhere from 12 to 22 amps at 12 volts amps. I was also unsuccessful in discovering what could be the p7 power supply 12V rated current.

I searched this forum briefly and I am impressed with many of the answers. I know there are some really smart people out there who can help me. Thank you in advance.

My target price on sale at Fry Electronics is about $75. I am running Windows 7 64 bit. Thanks again

Hello

The amperages are additive for the dimensioning of power which only has some relationship to what the video card needs.  Video card manufacturers want to head because they don't really know how everyone PC is configured and just how hard the graphics card will be used.

I change this link for the HP of the above items. I was never in this place so I do not know how the address was mutilated.

Also far than the 545 NVIDIA goes, stick with the card HP as it is designed for a 300 Watt power supply.  I suspect that the retail sector 545 work but safe, stick with the HP 545.

  • Pavilion G6 2303su: the video card upgrade?

    Hello.  I'm here to ask you, could I upgrade my video card on my HP Pavilion 2303su g6?  As graphics card Radeon HD 7670 M becomes older and older, I was wondering if I can get my video card to a newer model of AMD or Nvidia even?

    No there is no way to upgrade your video card. This isn't a card at all but just a chip soldered to the motherboard. The video card, you have found and ask the subject for a very expensive high-end gaming machine which has the equivalent of a pci-e slot on the motherboard called MXM laptop. Your laptop has such without crack and no place to plug such a card.

    It is snly if you buy a model that has a legacy BIOS compatibility.

    Sapphiretech cards that have inherited the BIOS compatibility and some who have actually a physical switch on the map to allow switching between UEFI and compatibility existing BIOS. See the catalogue following Sapphiretech.

  • HP Pavilion H8-1017 cb: video card upgrade or get a new computer

    I plan to install a new video card and power supply to support a monitor 43 "UHD or buy a gaming computer brand new with GTX 970.   What is the best video card compatible with my computer and the motherboard to work with UHD?

    Also, would I waste my time to upgrade my current computer or saving a ton of money with great results?

    You can upgrade to a powerful video card, but there are a few things you need to know and do.

    Motherboard of your desktop came a generation before UEFI and only allows the installation of video cards that support legacy BIOS sound.  This means that you can install a video card that has inherited the BIOS support or a physical switch that allows the choice of the BIOS UEFI\Legacy.  Otherwise only video card BIOS UEFI will not be recognized under the current name of your card motherboard BIOS and the PC does not past the MESSAGE at startup, even in the BIOS.

    You will need to install a power supply (Corsair or another brand of enthiusiast) who will provide at least 400-450 watts of high quality. The PSU mus also delivered with power connectors 6\8 PCIe pins for the video card. Check the configuration required for video cards of candidate you are watching.

    Sapphire and MSI both make video cards that have a switch and they also make video cards that support the old BIOS only. It's a little more difficult to discern what MSI video card support the BIOS strives.

  • Pavilion HPE h8 - 1380t: video card upgrade for Pavilion HPE h8 - 1380t

    Hi all

    I recently bought a map GTX1060 (from a MSI GeForce GT640) 4 year old GPU from nVidia in line in order to improve the capacity of my machine so that I would be able to play Fallout 4 and 3 Witcher (both put my poor old GT640 kneeling - even on lower resolution settings).  It is part of the case and the powers that be (Yes, I plug in the connector 6-pin PSU) and 600W POWER supply is adequate for the task, but I'm starting to think that I probably have a motherboard compatibility issue.

    When I install the card and turn on the PC, it hangs at the splash screen of installation (a common problem from what I've already read on these forums) and that it goes no further (keyboard and mouse do not respond at this time here).  I contacted the nVidia support, and they suggested some changes to the BIOS (disable Secure Boot, activate the Legacy/MSC Mode and switching between legacy and UEFI BIOS selection Mode), but when I access the HP configuration utility (F10 on boot to top with GT640 card installed), these options are not put at my disposal.

    Is it possible for me to access the BIOS settings that nVidia has indicated I should be adjusted?

    This GPU card simply is not at all compatible with my motherboard?

    System Specs:

    HP model number: B4J28AV #ABA (Pavilion HPE h8 - 1380t)

    Motherboard: Pegatron 2ACE(Socket 0); 1.08; Intel Sandy Bridge-E Rev. 07; Intel Southbridge X 79 Rev 05

    BIOS: FRIEND 7.15

    CPU: Intel Core i7 3930 K (3.2 GHz)

    OS: Windows 7 Professional 64-bit, SP1

    Current GPU: MSI GeForce GT640; Driver 10.18.13.6881

    If the GTX1060 is not compatible, which is the highest card GPU nVidia performance that can be used with this motherboard (given the limitation of power supply 600W)?

    Is there another motherboard for this machine which would be compatible with my existing CPU and the GTX1060?

    Thanks for your help...

    Hello

    The h8 1380t has a Pegatron motherboard 'Pittsburgh '.

    You could try to find a future revision of this motherboard. I'm also a 810-150se with a map of the 'Pittsburgh2' system that has UEFI. I use a card Nvidia GTX EVGA FTW 970 with excellent results.

    You will need to check that the Review Board would fit in your frame.

    The other options are:

    1.new want to expedition with Win 7 Pro, or

    2 falcon Northwest.

    In a map of the main current system the permutation of Asus, Gigabyte or Asrock is difficult at best. You have to change other components such as the processor, heat sink, fan and the memory. You can probably buy an OEM of Windows 7 Pro version.

    It becomes quite expensive when you do the math on all of the changes you will have to do. There is no guarantee that you can find a map of the main current system having the correct spacers for your chassis h8 - 1380t.

    Avoid a Skylake processor if you can unless you don't mind jumping through a few extra hoops to install Win 7.

  • 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!

    A standard ATX power supply should work.

    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

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

    Of Corsair HX Series is a good choice.  I prefer NVIDIA 4xx because the card is only 8.25 inches long.

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

  • Pavilion a6200n: Pavilion a6200n video card upgrade

    I have a Pavilion a6200n that I'm fixing to the top for my son. I want to upgrade the video card to something like that

    "EVGA GeForce 210 Passive 1024 MB DDR3 PCI Express DVI/HDMI/VGA USB2.0 graphic card"

    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.

  • HP Pavilion A6528P video card upgrade?

    My HP is 3 years old and has been a good solid computer.

    My only problem is the poor video performance while playing world of Warcraft. I can still play with the graphics set to the lowest, but I was planning to splurge on an upgrade. I would try and find out the best game.

    My problem is that it's the embedded video and I'm not good with parts and replacement. I would like specific advice and help that what follows:

    1. what video card can I switch to (minimal cost and ease of installation)?

    2. will I need to upgrade the processor or the fan as well?

    3. are there places that perform installation relatively easily for me (I'd be scared he bust)

    Your patience and your expertise is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    Jenant, welcome to the forum.

    1.) before considering upgrading the video card, you need to upgrade the power supply (PSU).  The current PSU is only 250W.  Any video card that would go with this small amout of power would not be much better, if at all, as the integrated video.  I like Corsair and OCZ PSU.  You will want to purchase a video card that is 9 "long or less.  I like XFX, BFG, EVGA, Sapphire and PNY in that order.

    (2.) the processor and the fan should be fine.

    3.) these two components are fairly easy to install.  The PSU is the most difficult of them.  Make sure to mark where the cables are connected to the power supply current.  This will make it easier to install the new cables.  The video card is the easiest of all the components to install.

    There are many videos on the Internet showing you how to install both.  Here is a guide to build a computer on Newegg.

    http://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=lPIXAtNGGCw

    There are two parts, so watch both.  They will give you a good idea how to install the power supply and the video card.  I know that you're probably not ready to try a build on your own, but they will give some good information.

    If you want recommendations for both, let me know.

    Hello:

    There is no graphics removable/replaceable/extendable 'cards' in your noteobook.

    (GPU) graphics cards, are chips that are welded and their circuit integrated on the motherboard.

    The only way to update the graph on your laptop would be to replace the motherboard.

    But as the graphical installation program has your laptop is the best that HP offered for this model, there is no motherboards available with better graphics.

    You are welcome!  Thank you for the additional information.

    As I suspected, your computer has a standard BIOS.  This means that you can buy an older video card.  I love EVGA products.  I suggest to find a card you like and contact Tech Support from the manufacturer (Technical Support EVGA 1-888-880-3842) in order to ensure that it will work on your computer.  It is the best way I found to do not have to make a return.  The last card done EVGA used a standard BIOS was their 640 GT.  Some of them have a update for the VBIOS that allows them to run with a standard BIOS.

    Now for the power supply (PSU).  I love Corsair products.  I normally recommend at least 500W.  This allows for future updates.  A modular power supply is good for smaller cases.  Simply use the required cables, allowing a better air circulation.  You must measure the existing PSU and compare the measurements to the one you choose.  All connectors must be compatible.

  • Pavilion 500-339: update video card for a 500-339 Pavilion

    I have a HP Pavilion 500-339. AMD A10, processor 3.5 GHz quad-core with 8 GB of RAM, running windows 8.1, 64-bit. It came with a Radeon R7 240 video card. I know that physical space is limited inside the computer case, but what could I upgrade to that would fit? While not the biggest PC-gamer out there, I do not play a bit and I would like the best features. Thank you!

    Hello

    Without replacing the power supply, the NVIDIA GTX 750 TI would be an excellent choice. Choose a model that does not require a 6-pin auxiliary power connector.  Open your Pc and do some measures so that you know for sure that the GTX model 750 will be fit. Most should adapt to certain expectations.  Know what the return policy is before you buy.

    Thanks for posting on the forum.

    I posted a message here a few days ago because I wanted to find a possible upgrade for my graphics card. I have a Pavilion 500-339, 3.5 GHz with 8g of RAM. The video card is a Radeo R7 240 and I want to upgrade. Big_Dave said (thanks for that!) but I am facing another problem. The motherboard is good, but compact and I fear that new video card (because it is longer) pretty much sitting on top the RAM (if it fits in all). I know that my computer is not a "PC game", but would that be a problem? One more time card would still hold? What choices do I have? Thank you

  • Video card upgraded to Pwr power needs

    I recently bought the Pavilion a6857c desktop computer. Found out later that the onboard video Intel G33/G31 Express Chipset does not satisfy my video needs. I bought GTX 285 Nvidia card would be improper because of the location of the SATA cards. They are in the way. SATA 0-5 and 0 and 1 are used by DVD and HD right where'd the vid card. Exchanged for the XFX NVIDIA GeForce 9600 GT and found I need new pwr supply. I never did an upgrade of the pwr supply.  Duo Quad Intel running. What are the limits of the motherboard Asus IPIBL-LB Benicia-GL8E? Power current pwr has 4 pwr pin cables, not pin 6 required.

    Any suggestions or links would be appreciated

    The motherboard is not really the problem. You could improve the food, but probably don't really need. For a 6 pins for the video card, you can simply get a molex (power to drive hard white ide) to the adapter card video pci-e 6 pin. Here's a web page showing one of England, but it gives the idea:

    Adapter

    If you want to get a new power supply, it is a simple upgrade; usually 4 screws hold the power supply to the case and you just remove the screws, drop the power supply, disconnect the connections, replace with new PSU connectors (one by one so everything's in the right place) and bolt the new one in place.

    You can spend silly money for a power supply, but the best is to go to newegg.com and do some comparison shopping. Personally, I like Antec power supplies but it is a matter of taste, really. ANTECs are widely sold in the same office business as Staples. A power 500 w is probably all that you really need to and more or less no matter what else you buy directly in a box will have all the connectors you need.
