picking for upgrade graphics card

I have a HP - Compaq Pavilion A1000 Series Pavilion a1737c - the sticker on the bottom of the case is quite rubbed but it looks like model mx870206ma, said crucial.

I just want to know what type of video card to get.  I just need something that either will coexist with the existing onboard video - or a card that can drive two monitors.  I can't find a spec on the kind of expansion slots are on the MOBO.

There are a bunch of cards - and a multitude of specifications for the type of interface they use.

It is an old computer and everything I do is software development, not games.

I'm on newegg and it lists three types of video interfaces for pci express x 16-2, 0 2.1 and 3.0 - I'm assuming that, due to age, this mobo is pciexpress x 16 2.0

I don't know what version is the slot in the computer.  It does not say in the specifications.  However, each of them are backward compatible.  You must be certain that the card will work with the power supply.  You can find the power of the PSU by reading the label on.

  • H8-1020 HP: HP H8-1020 - upgrading graphic card / power

    Hey,.

    Looking to give my almost 5 year old very PC need graphics push. As mentioned in the title, I have a HP h8-1020. After reading the other messages from users on this forum, it seems that the power supply provided with this model (300W) is totally insufficient for any new, decent graphics card.

    I also use a 27 inch Samsung S27D360.

    I read that some people used the corsair CX500/600 with Nvidia GT X series (2 GB) as an upgrade card appropriate. However I don't know a lot about the power supplies or performance graphics cards.  I don't have an absolute top of the map online, just one that can run most modern graphic intensive games. I hope for a price range of about $100 for food and not more than $200 for the graphics card.

    Here are some of the games I'd like to run upstairs - max (preferably in 1920 x 1080) settings:

    Diablo 3

    Skyrim

    Grand Theft Auto V

    The Elder Scrolls: online

    Any help with suggestions for a new power supply/graph card would be appreciated. Thank you!

    Hello

    Try NewEgg for theCorsair CX500. It's cheaper.

    ZOTAC ZT-70704-10 M model is spec'd to be retro-compatible with PCI-E version 1.1.

  • can I upgrade graphics card on pavilion dm 4?

    can I upgrade graphics card on pavilion dm 4?

    Laptops are unlike desktop computers.

    Desktop PC have an open architecture that make the relatively simple upgrade.

    PC laptop and portable access to the e/s available and put at level of the slots through the doors of the inspection and often almost total disassembly.

    Laptops are also limited by the BIOS and the physical attributes systemboard on the video modules and wireless can be used for upgrades.

    A BIOS of the laptop has a white list of the modules that are acceptable. If a module wireless or video is not on the whitelist, then it cannot be used. If a notebook THAT BIOS found during the POST (power on self test) as a module not on the white list has been installed it will warn you and it won't start the laptop computer in the operating system installed.

    If money is no object you can update the video through an exotic external graphics solution like Vidock Gfx.

    Hello

    First of all I'm really putting t understand why you start two topics with the same theme. It is often better to have a subject with good content and interesting comments. Am I wrong? ;)

    Anyway, in your case, it is interesting that Toshiba use adapted drivers because of the material. This means that this graphics card is not required to run at the maximum level. Material cooling in laptops is very problematic and high temperature can cause overheating or a material damage. All hardware components are placed on a small square. Graphics card produces a lot of heat and it is not so good for other material.

    When you use graphic driver non-Toshiba card is forced to run faster. That's any use of support laptop manufacturers don t of third party drivers. The fact is that physical protection is a priority.

    I didn t do all the experiments, but according to some reports on this forum, there is how to install the driver of non-Toshiba graphics card.

    Posted below are the video graphic specifications for my Phoenix H9-1135: graphic video

    Here are the specifications of your desktop HP Pavilion HPE h9-1135 Phoenix. You will need to ensure that power plant is rated at a minimum of 500 watts and has at least a 6 connector pins and a connector 8 pin for the graphics card GTX 760. In addition, that the card is long 11.5 ", you need to measure along the plane of the PCIe x 16 location at the rear of the case more far to determine if there is enough space for the map. If you find all the obstacles before reaching approximately 12 ", the map is inappropriate.

    If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

  • I get the blue screen in the LR development mode, even though I have updated the driver for the graphics card on this new laptop. It's an AMD Radeon R5 M335 4 GB memory DDR3, core i7 6th gen processor. What should do?

    Hi guys, I get the blue screen in the LR development mode, even though I have updated the driver for the graphics card on this new laptop. It's an AMD Radeon R5 M335 4 GB memory DDR3, core i7 6th gen processor. What should do? Thank you

    This Eizo has a normal resolution of 1920 x 1200 pixels. I expect not to see a lot of benefits of using the GPU. You really see the advantage to screens that are at least 4K (3840 x 2160 pixels) or more. On small screens, you can see some benefits with smoother updates if you ONLY use the base sliders to develop. If you use brushes, turning on the GPU can actually slow you down a bit. In most cases, loading images in develop is also slower when you activated! There are a few illustrative notes to an engineer from Adobe that you can read here: notes for Lightroom CC GPU (2015) in order to better understand what is happening. Currently, in most cases, I recommend leaving off the coast. I think that Adobe is trying to improve and have more cards supported, but it is not yet completely there.

  • Pavilion p6-2143w: upgrade graphics card for Pavilion p6-2143w

    I found the specs for the office here.  I try to get a medium to low end without graphics card to upgrade the power supply or something else. I tried to install a Nvidia Geforce GT 730 but without success. With this card installed, I turn on my desk and get stopped at the HP screen that says "Press esc for boot options" and pressing esc does nothing. I tried to start in safe mode and disable the integrated graphics card driver and then install the card once again, but always without success. Could someone either tell me why this card didn't work or direct me to a card that works?

    This list is not complete.  The manufacturer will increase your success.

    The cards known with UEFI/strives switch includes these maps:

    (2) by @erico, ther7 260 and higher cards and the 360 r9and cards higher.
