TouchSmart from HP 520 1050: hp 520 TouchSmart 1050 graphics card

Is it possible to update the graphics card in this machine to something with a little more power? It would be nice to have a graphics card that can play games like World of Tanks for example. Recently, I have had this computer as a gift and noticed it came with a very good processor, I was wondering if I could use this computer for games rather than going out and buying another computer. Save as much money as I can.

  • Update of HP TouchSmart 520-1040 a graphic card

    Hi all

    I was wondering if I could update the graphics card from ati 5570 2 GB in my all-in-one.

    The computer can not play a lot

    HP Touchsmart has 520-1040
    AMD A8 3800 APU with Radeon HD Graphics 4 (CPUs) - 2, 4 GHz
    Graphics ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5570 2 GB 1920 x 1080
    2 TB hard drive
    8 GB ram

    If so, what are my options when I want decent game cards?

    @xlChief,

    HP has just returned to me on that yesterday.

    I'll paraphrase what I was told. Unfortunately, it is not the best news.

    HP does not recommend adding a card MXM 3.0 to the AIO PC not come with one, because the thermal module is not offered for sale separately. If you install a video module without a thermal module, you may fry the card.

    HP recommends replacing the original card rather than add one where it is not already present.

  • HP touchsmart adding graphics card

    I have a question.

    I have HP touchsmart computer, model 520-1070 uk with integrated graphics HD 2000.

    Can I add a better graphics card HD to the MXM format on my computer?

    It is very important for me, please help!

    Here are the specifications of your desktop HP TouchSmart 520-1070uk and its card mother IPISB-NK (LavacaSB). According to the specifications, it supports;

    1 taken Mobile PCI Express Module (MXM)
    MXM 3.0 version: Type has
    <>

    In theory, this would indicate that you could install an appropriate type MXM card. In practice, this slot machine is designed for use in HP CTO models that come from the factory with the card already installed. Models with the card already installed have a completely different heatsink which hosts the MXM card. Your model has a heater which cannot recognize the cooling of a MXM card needs.

    In addition, the cards must be from HP and are expensive. Also, you may be unable to correct the source radiator / fan assembly to use with the MXM card.

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

  • Get information from my computer about the details of the graphics card and so on, in order to install games.

    From the control panel > Performance and tools > can't view and print details of the basis of the normal English Windows experience index. See below. This is what is displayed in Notepad.  The reason why I'm doing this is because I was not able to install Games 2/2, I bought. The guy at EB Games says print a list of information on the computer so that I could buy the appropriate game. I would like to have a game on my computer. My friend recommended to Doom 3. Is there something that exists and why I receive this report not readable?

  • HP Touchsmart 610-1180qd - update graphics card?

    It's customizable PC I: TouchSmart 610-1180qd

    Hello! I'm not a noob when it comes to computers, in fact: I am an expert technician. I know this question has been asked a million times, but I could not find a current thread for my model. I've never worked with before all-in-one desktop computer. I know that they are more closely related to laptops rather than desktops and that they will use mobile graphics because of this cards. I love this new PC, it has everything the most of what HP has to offer me for this model, except the graphics card. At the point where they did not offer me a good Nvidia 2 GB graphics card so I went with the 2 GB ATI Radeon HD 5570, who was the best at the time, and I'm not a fan of Radeon. I look at the list of maps they offer now, and they are all much better that what I initially offered me a month earlier, when I was building my PC. My card is still not listed as an option more! I'm a little upset. My current card is down the performance of my computer. Everything else is the killer. I experience lag on some games that shouldn't be known with high graphics settings! This thing has a processor 3,4 GHz with the addition of power up to 3.8 GHz and 16 GB of DDR3 RAM! No reason for any kind of lag, it... This is the graphic card... He is lame, I didn't in my PC at all, but I had to.

    Currently, the best maps that they offer right now for my PC model starting from 09/06/2011 is:

    2 GB NVIDIA GeForce GT 425M

    2 GB, Radeon HD 6550 has

    I prefer Nvidia card much more because I want to play Final Fantasy 14 online. They are specific to the Nvidia cards only. In addition, I always preferred Nvidia at the expense of others and am not loving this Radeon HD 5570 much or not at all.

    My question is: can I order a cards online that is currently listed for the configuration of my computer and then just install it on mine? The site says nothing about the integrated graphics card, so there should be a chance, I can update. This is the same exact computer, but they seem to change the list of graphics cards every few weeks. I don't know how to go on the opening of this computer to check. Any help would be appreciated. I love this computer to death but this lame Radeon graphics card is lower to paralyze it's game performace. I should be able to play all the latest games on the high graphics with little or no problems. This PC is a beast in all, buuuuut... I hate this graphics card which is currently in so much! I paid around $2 k for this PC AIO, and his graphic part is killing me for the high end games.

    Or... What other graphics cards that I would be able to put in it? Those registered are not really as high engine.

    Thank you!

    You'd be better off looking at all the previous discussions on this topic, is not easy to replace cards because they are portable format MXM cards and the HP BIOS is picky about which cards and GPU BIOS revisions he loves.

    In general, the notice was not worth the time, energy, cost and frustration to replace.

  • Graphics Card (chip) Failed on HP TouchSmart IQ 790.uk.

    HP TouchSmart IQ 790.uk... Graphics card (chip) down, need a replacement. I have Returnd from PC World, but they said that they don't fix this brand.

    He had for four months, and then they told me to take it elsewhere. Its a good computer, cost nearly £700. How can I get it fixed please...

    I was looking at to the top of the plug on this machine and see that there is a tv tuner card. You can always try another video card and its use (slot specs say it has a PCI-e but not available). Must be quick and easy test if it will work. Unfortunately 3 years is OLD in the computer age. What 700 3 years cost is probably quite a bit cheaper now and much more powerful.

  • envy touchsmart 15 graphics

    Hello

    I'm looking forward to buy Touchsmart from HP ENVY 15 t-j100 with 2048 MB gt740 Mr. dedicated graphics card I wanted to know if it is possible to replace gt740m with something better. Besides I would like to know what material in this laptop is replaceable. This model is quite expensive so I would like to know about possible improvements in the future, because I will not buy a new one in a few years.

    Thank you!

    Thank you, has not yet noticed that there is a model with 4 GB gt750m. But there is another thing. I noticed that envy 15t has an mSata slot. I'm not really that good in the field of the equipment so I don't understand very well what it is. For as far as I understand it is something like a hard drive. Could I put in for example a 500 gb ssd msata card and then install my windows on it to make it work from msata? It would make a real improvement on the speed? Or would it be better to replace disk ssd if that's even possible? In addition, if the model comes with only 4 GB of ram means that there is only a single slot and if it has 8 GB it means that there are slots 2 x 4 gb? Can they be upgraded to 16 GB as a whole?

    Thank you, enjoy!

    The mSATA slot resembles a miniPCIe for a 3G or a TV module location. Yes, you can use a reader for Windows mSATA and keep the original for data hard disk, but it is not easy to do because the BIOS won't let you boot from the mSATA and you need to install a bootloader on the original hard drive. It is doable but pain in the... Yes, you can use a 2.5 drive "sound instead of the mSATA but you lose the hard drive (there is that a single hard drive Bay). It really makes a difference with an SSD (recommend Samsung or Intel) as boot drive. The model comes with a 4 GB video memory DDR3/5 means that the graphics card has its own 4 GB (it's called dedicated) memory. It will not use any main RAM except if all 4 GB will be used and the lappy will need other resources of video RAM. Then, it will use the main RAM which I think can be improved at least 16 GB (2x8GB). Means the lappy has to 16 GB of main RAM and 4 GB of video memory dedicated, but this memory is dedicated to the vga card only.

  • HP Touchsmart 23 F202IN graphics card does not support the 3D Vision I can improve.

    If you are determined to have a 3D compatible computer system, you will need to either build your own or buy a system that is capable of 3D.

  • 17 t j000 touchsmart forcing skyrim use nVida video or turn off the graphics card intel

    Hi all

    I just got this new computer and try to make it work with the game Elder Scrolls v Skyrim   the game starts and runs ok however by default is of poor quality with video intel detected 4600.   Don't want to use the video intel when even, so no matter not much.  I want to use is the video card from nVidia to 740 m.

    I went into the NVIDIA Control Panel and things together global use the nividia card, in program files, I put all the exe files of the game to use the nvidia card.   I entered skyrimprefs and sd3ddivice to change sD3DDevice = "Nvidia GeForce GT M 740" when I start the game it resets the video at the bottom and when I look at his still trying to use the card intel.  The skyrimprefs file is more written with sD3DDevice = 'Intel (R) graphics HD 4600'.

    So the question is how to get the game to work with nVidia card?  Or how to disable the card intel?

    Went into device manage and disabled the graphics card intel and skyrim can't always find the nVidia card. It uses Microsoft basic pilot to return instead.  A difference that I noticed is the base of Microsoft driver it will default the video quality of average quality rather than low quality I get with the 4600 built in processor video card.

    PROBLEM SOLVED

    I was running enb and needed to use the version of the injector instead of the version of wrapper.  the file d3d9.dll in the wrapper version forced things to use the graphics card intel.

  • Adding a graphics card from nVidia GT640 to a new desktop HP Envy

    Since buying a new HP ENVY 700-147c desktop PC and a new nVidia GEForce 640 GE video card on in November 2013 (cybermonday sales), I could not have the HP Envy boot with the GE 640 card in place. After hitting the Start button, with one of the HDMI ports allow (same results using a VGA > HDMI adapter), I get a series of POST messages is with the screens VGA HDMI to stay black.

    I removed internally AMD video drivers such as recommended by the technical support from nVidia, but with the same results. When I removed the card GE 640, the Win 8.1 has reset the original drivers, and I can run off the coast of the internal VGA / HDMI ports on the desire, but with much lower resolution than the 640 GE would allow card.

    I repeated this procedure and checked the BIOS to see if there is an adjustment could be made, but none have been noted... Please advise if I have missed anything in the BIOS of envy.

    I repeated the procedure with a well-known nVidia GEForce 9500GT card from another HP Pavilion PC running Windows 7 Pro. Power over the results were the same. black screens with POST messages about 4-5 seconds after switching on.

    After the withdrawal of the 9500GT card, I was still able to operate with the integrated graphic card HP Envy.

    Please advise on how I can add the GE 640 card, I bought the new envy, for graphics work I do.
