T420 motherboard update for Nvidia

Hello

I have a Thinkpad T420 with only the graphics card Intel HD 3000 integrated.

Is it possible to install the Nvidia graphics chip/card, or do I need a new motherboard.

I found the following 2 on eBay, but they are completely different.

http://www.eBay.co.UK/ITM/Lenovo-ThinkPad-T420S-I7-2640M-NVIDIA-NVS-4200M-graphics-motherboard-04W65...

http://www.eBay.co.UK/ITM/04W2049-Lenovo-ThinkPad-T420-T420i-Intel-socket-G2-motherboard-NVIDIA-NVS-...

I'd appreciate it if someone could shed light on whether these would work with my system, or advice.

Thank you.

Tasurinchi,

Thank you for your very detailed answer, it's really appreciated.

I think that sounds a little too much and risky for me if.

I'll try and get a complete machine on eBay already with the Nvidia chip, I think.

Thanks again.

  • Horrible framerate after Windows Update for NVIDIA GeForce 7150 M

    I started getting a horrible frame rate in games after receiving an update for my NVIDIA GeForce 7150 M / nForce 630M graphics card from Windows Update. For example, in World of Warcraft before the update, the pace has been a constant 25 fps, and now he fell up to 2 fps. I tried to do a restore of the system several times, but it keeps saying there is a problem that prevented the restoration of complete successfully. Is there a way to fix this?

  • Update for Nvidia Drivers?

    This message is for all the gamers out there use VAIO systems. The VAIO update software is nice for the inexperienced, but as a hardcore gamer and a computer science major I was shocked to discover that graphics drivers specifically cannot be updated manually without removing the software that could void the warranty. Not only that, but the VAIO update-provided drivers are very obsolete. It is a major concern for all those who want to get more out of their laptop high performance because the graphics drivers can make a huge difference in performance, especially with the newer cards. Then... Sony, seriously, if you're not going to allow your customers to update the drivers manually, you NEED NEED keep YOUR database up-to-date. It is honestly quite ridiculous. I'm curious how many thousands of customers run lower graphics drivers because you can not take 30 seconds to update your database. These drivers are NOT hard to find and it is there no legal problem which prevents you to display the most recent. Please get with this Sony, I have no past all my hard earned cash on a computer laptop fancy, so I could run latest drivers years. It is honestly just lazy on your part.

    Someone will answer?

  • 14 - n204sf Pavilion: Pavilion 14-204sf has an AMD graphics card but driver update for a nVidia

    Hi, in my attempts to find a solution to my problem with the current for my Pavilion 14-n204sf graphics driver, I found on the web from the list of available drivers HP site in which the graphics driver is a Nvidia card in the machine is an AMD Radeon 8670 M as shown in the master database and reported in the control panel of the machine. What is the reason for this discrepancy? Do both adapters use the same driver or is this just a mistake - and in this case, where is the Radeon driver?

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Hi @jlb21,

    Thank you for your inquiry.

    I understand that you upgraded your system to Windows 10 now looking a driver updated for the AMD Radeon 8670 M and there is not a list on the page of software and the driver for your model.

    If this does not work, you can try to install a driver on the AMD website, but can find that you do not get the same options as before.

    Drivers + download - drivers & Support AMD Center

    You may consider contacting HP support for assistance or perform recovery to factory.

    HP computers - performing a recovery of HP (Windows 8) system

    If you decide that option and that you don't create recovery media, you can get a kit of HP support recovery.

  • F5521gw Driver Update for T420s in accordance with the T430 systems...

    Hi guys,.

    You have pushed out a 7.1.1.0 update driver for the F5521gw card for the T430 but have not updated the T420 systems for the same card.

    Pilots of the T430 works on my T420s so out of curiosity, why isn't he there had an update for us guys?

    Be nice to think we were not left behind, we are not yet barely a generation old yet!

    DangerMouse,

    Unless the updated driver will be fixing some bugs or improved then the development team will not release the update that the team would be more focused in the fixing of the drivers or software with bugs.

    Thank you for taking the time to install the 7.1.1.0 and the display back. So for those who want to try the 7.1.1.0 pilot on their T420s or T420 with Ericsson card, they can do so, however, it's at their peril to is not in the list of compatibility of Lenovo.

    Thank you
