• Need help updating video card!

  Hello

  I bought a HP last year: AMD Athon 64 Quad Core

  8 GB Ram

  ATI Radeon 4200 graphics card

  POWER 250W

  However, the video card works well with some of the new software that we have recently added this season holiday, I'm looking to upgrade the machine. After researching on the forums, it seems that the HD6870 is a solid upgrade at a reasonable price, but PS the250W is a matter of concern.

  My questions are:

  (1) can I buy any power supply (looking Coolmaster 460W PSU)

  (2) with the new power supply, is that all I need to upgrade the video card and

  (3) I just want to confirm that the HD6870 is a compatible video card that will work with my machine and the new PSU

  Thanks in advance.

  Most of the HD 6870 cards I Iooked at having these requirements;

  ■PCI Express® based PC is required with a X 16 channel available on the motherboard graphics slot.
  ■2X75 Watt 6 pin PCI Express power connector is required.
  ■Certified-power supplies are recommended. Please refer to: http://support.amd.com/us/certified/power-supplies/Pages/listing.aspx
  ■500 Watt Power Supply is necessary.

  (1) Yes, you can buy any power supply, but he needs 500 watts or more, and fit into the case without blocking the other components. A few favorites forum are Corsair CX500, or CX600.

  (2) who should be all you need.

  (3) the HD 6870 should work on your system with a new 500 watts or PSU. However, if you provide the model number or product number, we could check the specifications of your computer to better confirm that this is the case.

• How to set up and use two video cards at the same time.

  I have HP Pavilion a6150d desktop under Windows XP SP3 PC. My goal is to be able to use the integrated video card and GeForce 220 video card I just buy at the same time.

  The integrated video card and GeForce video card (connected to the PCI-E) are installed and usable, but the problem is that I think that my computer cannot detect a video at a time card, so I can't use 2 monitors at the same time.  The video only card detects my computer is what I chose as a primer in the BIOS. When you go to the Device Manager display adaptors I can only find an available video card and that's regardless of Setup as primary in the BIOS.

  My GeForce 220 have VGA, DVI and HDMI display connectors, but I don't have that VGA cables. So my only option at the moment is to use my video card GeForce with band single VGA connector and integrated everyone to use my two monitors.

  I hope someone can help me without spending more money...

  "You're not going to be able to use the graphics card integrated Intel and PCIe x 16 graphics card at the same time."

  Thanks Frank, this already answered my question, you help me already by saving my time searching for the fix (since there is NO solution), although it won't save my money I like always your quick response and your support. My monitor is HPw1907 with a DVI connector, so I'll just buy a DVI cable. My other monitor LCD SHARP that have a HDMI and VGA connector so I'll just use the VGA cable in this one.

  So I guess that my simple goal is not achievable using HP Pavilion a6150d. I love HP more than Dell, but it's doable in Dell, so I hope that HP will have way on how to make this thing work in the future.

• HP Elite 1090-T H8: seeking your suggestions for upgrading the power supply for a new video card

  I have a HP EliteH8-1090 t who is about a year, but with an AMD Radeon HD 6570 low power graphics card and a 450W power supply. I want to upgrade the 650W power to support the installation of a replacement graphics card.

  I tried to replace the HP 450W with Corsair TX650 and Corsair TX850 food. The system appears to power (DVD drawer opens and closes, the hard disks spin, fans run) with either a Corsair, he's stuck at this point. My system is unable to enter start mode when either power supply is installed - it seems stuck in a mode of seed, and the monitor still asleep.

  Can someone please advise on a compatible power supply for HP system? I'm puzzled by why a simple exchange of a power supply does not work. Just like a record, the system has a card mother Pegatron IPMTB-K (Truckee).

  Thank you!

  No problem. I wish you good luck with it. On a positive note the HX650 is a much better than the TX650 ILA unit internal quality and what I like is the best it's quite fan fan much quieter than the TX650 while helping your organization of cable being modular and help keep temperatures cooler in your computer case.

• Upgrading power but still uncertain on video card

  Hello, I have a HP Pavilion Elite HPE - 480 t series with i7-930 quad-core [2.8 GHz], 8 GB SDRAM DDR3 at 1 066 MHz and a 1 GB ATI Radeon HD 5450 [DVI, HDMI, VGA adapter].  The video card is very driven and I would like to upgrade.  Most of the video cards I looked to recommend a diet of at least 500w, mine has currently 460w.  I recently ordered a Corsair CX600w and hope, that I have no problem with the installation in the box HP Pavilion Elite.  What is the best video card that you recommend, under $ 200, which can fit in the box HP Pavilion Elite HPE - 480 t?

  Thank you

• Question of HPE-180 t upgrade video card/PSU

  I have never updated a video card or a power supply before and am a little worried about this procedure. I have a HPE-180 t and I want to spend the GT 220 GPUS to a GTX 560 Ti.

  The thing is that when I open the case, I don't know if there is enough space. I read that the 560 Ti is a large map and takes about 2 connectors on the motherboard. The GT 220 that I look pretty tight on one side, and it is not as big as the 560. Someone has it already done this before update? I don't know if the case of the size vary between models of HP Office.

  For food, I get this one:

  http://www.Newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=N82E16817139028

  Same issue - anyone done this upgrade successfully on a HPE-180 t? If this isn't the case, I have problems with it?

  Other problems, I'd be worried?

  Thank you!

  Great, thank you for taking the time to answer.  You are welcome!  I'm happy to help you.

  I was just wondering, how did you choose this particular video card? It seems that there is a lot of variety of different manufacturers.  Over the years, I have spent many hours on the forums of enthusiasts/player/overclocking.  From this experience, I came to love graphics cards XFX, BFG, EVGA, Sapphire and PNY in that order.  They are the manufacturers who make very good products and offer good customer Service.  Also, when you pick up any product, I read as many customers as possible.  They give you the straight scoop without any exaggeration of the manufacturer.  Other customers the better.  When I see a product that has more than 200 customers and is rated 4 stars or higher, I won't hesitate to buy it.  Some comments may be pros, but the majority are people like you and me.  I hope that explains my choice.

  Also, I noticed that the product dimensions are 9 "x 4,38", which I suppose is just length x width. The "depth" (or width when looking from the rear which is held vertically) is not listed, so that usually not a problem (i.e. it will not conflict with what anyone on either side)?  If the card fits in length and the width and height of the map is not as critical.  Most cases will be enough space.  The length is more critical, however.  I would stay 9 "or less.  Normally, this ensures that the card will fit in the case of medium-sized and allowing good air flow.  A card will be a full case.

  If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.  I'm always happy to help someone to learn about the components of the computer.

• Repost - Alienware x 51 Question upgrade video card

  Sorry for spam... Accidentally, I posted in the dell forums.

  Hello world

  So, with cars of which will be released in March I thought to upgrade the video card in my Alienware X 51.  Unfortunately, I get some conflicting signals that I perform an Internet search on what cards will and work habit.  I'll definitely with Nvidea but where the concern comes is food.  My pc has a 330w power supply and I want to make sure that everything I buy will work correctly on this subject.  Also, there is a bit of a problem of space because I think that video cards up to 9.5 inches fits.  Correct me if I'm wrong on either, but I was wondering if you may be able to offer a video card for me.  I'm looking in the high-end 400.00.  Any help would be great!

  If it helps I currently GTX 555, i7-3770 w / 16 GB of ram, windows 7

  Correction: you must have a 330w PSU to run a high range GPU, and you should have a power supply r2 card to launch the GTX 900 series (I hope not for the GTX 960, though).

  R2 Power Board can be installed together with a card mother r1.

• Satellite Pro A10: Question about upgrading video card

  Hi guys, I have a laptop Satellite Pro A10 and I was wondering if anyone of you could help me.

  I want to improve my Ram card memory and video. The video card now is an Intel 82852/82855 GM/GME Graphics Controller and want a graphics card with at least 128 MB of memory on this subject.
  Any recommendation?
  Any help would be appreciated muchly.

  Hello

  It of not possible to change the graphics card. The graphics card is a small chip that attaches to the motherboard.
  This graphics card supports up to 64 MB shared memory. The graphics card gets this value of main memory if it s needed.

  The possibility to upgrade the memory of this device is something different.
  You can upgrade the memory to max 1024 MB (2x512MB) and these modules should work.
  PC2100 128 MB (PA3126U - 1 M 12)
  PC2100 256 MB (PA3127U - 1 M 25)
  PC2100 512 MB (PA3164U - 1 M 51)

  Hope this will help a little.

• hpe-550f upgrade video card

  I'm looking to upgrade the video card on my HPE-550f 57XX Radeon stock. food seems to be the factor limiting. So far, it seems that the Geforce TI 650 would be a good choice. Nobody knows for sure if it is compatible, or if there is a better choice?

  The Radeon HD 7850 seems good but they recommend a 500W power supply and the 550f is 460 I think. I think I can put it for less power in the control center.

  Thank you.

  Jonathan, welcome to the forum.

  The Ti 650 should be compatible with your computer.  However, be sure that the current power supply (PSU) has a 6-pin PCI Express power connector.  This is required at least on the Ti of 650 EVGA.

  You will need to upgrade the PSU to use HD 7850.

• Pavilion m7480n upgrade video card

  Hello.  I own a HP Pavilion m7480n and want to upgrade the video card with one that has HDMI.  Is there a specific type/model should I buy?  I'm looking for something in the order of $100.  I have the original software, including Windows XP.  Thank you.

  Thank you.  I understand I PCIEX16 used by the current video card.  I guess my question is there, which is now compatible with that?  Once again, I am looking for a video card with HDMI and would like it have 1 GB of power, if it is possible.  Thanks again!

  Hello

  Yes, it is possible. Please check this list to find out the card fits your budget. Please also note do not buy card that needs high power (approximately 10w - 15w more your existing card should be ok) otherwise you will have to buy a new power supply.

  Good luck.

• XPS 8300, upgrade video card

  Hi I have a Dell XPS8300

  It came with the card AMD Radeon HD 6450, but there isn't enough good run the latest games, not even with settings very low... This is why I intend to upgrade that.

  The problem is that I don't know if the map I want to buy is compatible or if I could make it work... I'm really new to this so I need a little help please...

  It's the map: http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-Superclock-Dual-Link-Graphics-02G-P4-3753-KR/dp/B00IDG3IDO/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1401905637&sr=8-4&keywords=nvidia+gtx+780

  Im not in that of a hardcore gamer who wants ultra graphics on all games, I want to just that my PC to run the latest games at least on a medium to high heat (or even low) with decent FPS...

  I believe that my 6 GB DDR3 RAM and Intel core i5-2300 (2.80 Ghz) with this video card should be enough.

  Please let me know (any expert on the subject) if I can use this card without problem so I can just click 'buy' haha. Or if it something else I have to make it work please let me know

  Thanks :)!

  GTX 560 it is no longer on the market so there is no need to buy this card unless you found it used for $100 or less on ebay.  The GTX 750 Ti is a better deal for a new card and I'd get this one.  I've seen where users have for their XPS 8300 GTX 750 it and it works fine.

• Pavilion p7 - 1207c: upgrade video card on Pavilion p7 - 1207c

  Hello

  I am wanting to upgrade the integrated graphics card that came with my computer to a GeForce GT 730.

  I already have the card and was plugged into my PCIe x 16 slot and see the fan turns, but neither my BIOS or Windows sees a card plugged into this niche.

  I go into the BIOS to see if I had to activate the crack, but the only option I see is to disable or enable security on the slot. It has already been set to disabled.

  I am at a loss to know recognized, and if more info is needed I am happy to provide.

  Your desktop computer motherboard is pre-UEFI. This means that a video card with a vBIOS EFI will not work.

  Return the video card and find one that allows switching between legacy vBIOS and EFI BIOS. A video card with a legacy vBIOS will also work.

  Check out Sapphire Technology graphics cards. They made a number of card games that have a dual video BIOS that allows switching between UEFI or legacy vBIOS.

  http://www.sapphiretech.com/catapage_pd.asp?cataid=271 & lang = eng

  You can check that by the removal of the video card and starting the Windows machine.  In the search box type in MSINFO. Who calls on system information. Take a look down the list to find the subject that says BIOS mode. to the right you will see what type of BIOS of your motherboard has.

  The following image of sysinfo is desktop DIY that I'm typing this.

  

• Satellite 1900-303: Question about upgrade video card

  I have satellite 1900 - 303 and want to somehow upgrade the video card. Is that someone has an idea that is possible or not and if yes how and where to buy a new one.
  Thank you

  Hi Galin,

  It is generally not possible to update the graphics card in a notebook. They are generally adapted to fit the available space and also specially designed drivers that are specific to your model of laptop. It is also quite common for them to use the RAM shared rather than having their own chip RAM (although some later model specifications have dedicated for graphics RAM).

  You can check in your advanced (from Control Panel) display options if you can adjust the RAM available for your graphics card.
