Try buying a new graphics card but don't know if it will work. Help

Hi guys, I'm new here and I have a question.

I have a computer, HP Envy h8-1414, this is the link that it http://h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docId=emr_na-c03517389 and I never liked the graphics card. I found a very good graphics card which is perfect for me, but some people told me that my habit of motherboard, run it.  This is the map of graphics http://www.bestbuy.com/site/xfx-radeon-r9-270x-2gb-ddr5-pci-express-3-0-graphics-card/2091002.p?id=1... My friend told my that my computer can only run PCI express 2.0 and I want to run a PCI express 3.0 graphics card. Is this true? Also I have improved my diet of 300 to 600 wats wats so food should not be a problem. Please help me. Thank you

Your friend won't. 2.1 is not compatible with certain versions but 3.0 is fully backward compatible. It should work correctly.

You made sure to buy a power supply with two 6 slots for the card?

  • Qosmio G10 with the new graphics card and pcb - CD update tools do not work

    Hello world

    I hope you can help me. Before a few weeks, I received my Toshiba Qosmio G10 return of aid, because the laptop no longer works. So I get it back with a new graphics card and a new PCB. With my laptop I have a CD called the update tool CD and a sheet of instructions, where it says to start with this tool CD-Rom update after you have installed the Windows with the reovery CD.

    So I did, but when I know the update tool CD to put in and I start with it, the computer installs something, but after a short then it is a message that it is a different model and that I have to put a button to close Notepad. So I did it, but Windows does not start.

    Why is it so? I had done everything that has been said on the instruction sheet.

    Please help me

    Hello

    It will be interesting to find more information on this CD-Rom tool update. Are there tags Toshiba? Can you please write what is described here?

  • Lenovo M91p desktop does not boot with the new graphics card (Blank don't screen no BIOS)

    Hi all

    I recently bought a Lenovo M91p thinkcenter Desktop as an upgrade to my old PC i3.

    Old Spec is as follows:

    • Coolermaster Thunder 600W power supply
    • Card mother Intel DH55HC
    • Processor i3
    • Graphics HIS HD Radeon 7950
    • 8 GB RAM
    • HARD DRIVE 500 GB

    I transferred my HD supply and Power 500 GB old to new Lenovo desktop and everything starts very well.

    Then I installed 2 x 2 GB extra in the Lenovo M91p (which in fact 8GB) and updated the disk of 500 GB to 1 TB.

    So my new spec is as follows:

    • Coolermaster Thunder 600W power supply
    • Card mother Lenovo Q67
    • I7 2600 3.4 Ghz CPU
    • 8 GB RAM
    • 1 to and 500 GB HARD drive

    Everything Booted fine. Then I tried to install my old graphics (HIS 7950 graphics Radeon HD card) card. I got was a blank screen, no beeps, no BIOS... Nothing.

    At first, I thought that my diet was not enough... So I tested a 750W power supply in the pc. Still nothing.

    Then I thought that the motherboards BIOS was outdated... Updated... Still nothing. I even tried to update the firmware of the graphics card. Nothing.

    The graphics card works because I tested it in my old machine and it worked 100%.

    However, I took my graphics card to my provider and he tests it on another of his pieces... Did not work there either.

    My PC BIOS is not supported for secure boot, in case anyone wants to know.

    I am out of ideas now... Anyone able to help?

    There is a white list of graphics cards that will recognize the BIOS. The 7950 HD is a map of 180w, well beyond what the power plant can provide (and case/sufficient cooling fans for) and not a single one is that Lenovo would provide support for the BIOS.

    Use the search engine above to see what cards other owners have used successfully in their M91p.

    Hello

    Most of the USB 2.0 DVD burners will be compatible XP (be sure to get a burner so you can make CD
    and DVDs and not just play).

    A very good source of information would be supported by the manufacturer of your system and their forums (if any).

    Another good source would be your local computer store or even a major retailer like Best Buy
    or the FRY.

    This is good, but there are many good brands.

  • New graphics card.

    The specs do not show the power of your diet, but from what I have seen that it is very probably 300W.  HP is not known for confusing their computers.  You can upgrade the video card, but it will be necessary to upgrade the PSU, probably also.

    While you're there, if you haven't done so already, upgrade to at least 2 GB of memory would help allocate.

  • New graphics card for old PC

    Hi, my old graphics card stopped working and I need a new. Now my PC is not the newest most, so I would ask you on what graphics card would you recommend for this PC:

    Procesor Intel 2500K

    8 GB RAM

    There was an Nvidia GTX295 inside

    128 GB SSD C: drive

    Drive D: 1 TB HARD drive 7200 RPM

    E: drive of 1 TB HARD drive 7200 RPM

    Windows 7

    I use Premiere Pro and After Effects on this system and for my purposes as a videographer hobby that it was now okay. I need a new graphics card, but I don't want to buy something overkill when it is not necessary that the rest of the components would hold him. Thanks in advance for any help!

    If you can find the gtx 650 for about $60, then its ok, if this is not the new gtx 750 for about $100.  This list on the page of hackers is not updated.

  • Choppy playback, need a new graphics card?

    Hi all

    I am currently using Premiere Pro CS4.

    With my GT8800 Alpha Dog 512 mb graphics card, is it sufficient for video editing?

    When I play the video on the first, it seems very lag and of course, it is not smooth at all.

    I imported the 1920 by 1080 HD format, which is filmed with Canon 5 d.

    I am looking at nvidia GFX480/470 or quadro series. But I don't want that there was capacity for a game too.

    Please advise me.

    Please advise me.

    Using any version of first before CS5, the video card will make little or no difference in the editing experience.  The biggest performance factors will firstly be the CPU and second memory.  Look for before buying a new graphics card.

    Having said that, CS5 is designed with pictures DSLR in mind, wasn't CS4.  Your best bet would be to upgrade first before buying new hardware.

    I have restored the software but is not a solution and also I downloaded the drivers from the Toshiba Support Site!
    I think the graphics card to give problems.
    Where can I buy the new graphics card?
    Installed: Intel 915GM/GMS, 910MS Express smart card.

    Hello

    It s not possible to exchange the VGA card in your system, since the VGA is soldered on the motherboard (the most important thing of your laptop on which all components are on) and if you have a problem with your graphics card then you should contact a local service partner authorized, due to a hardwarecheckup or a repair of your device.

    To find the closest just check the following link:

  • Computer does not start after installing a new graphics card

    I am owner of a HP Pavilion H8-1020 with a processor intel i7 - 2600 s Windows 7 and am trying to upgrade my Radeon hd 6570 to a Gigabyte AMD Radeon R9 280 OC. I improved my diet for a Corsair CX750 to meet the requirements of power and installed with number. After the installation of the new card, which as far as I can tell is well seated in the pci slot and correctly connected to the PSU, my computer does not start.

    System powers on, all fans of begin to run including the fans on the new graphics card, but it does not begin the boot process, no entry is received at my monitors, no light on the keyboard, my OS starts loading, I can turn off the system without the delay that will flow normally. Then I reinstalled my old graphics card and the computer started as usual.

    Now, assuming that the card is not DOA, which unfourtunatly I have no way to verify, and I'd like to see if it could be another problem before going through the process of restitution. I did some reading on the internet, which helped, but did not help for a technological neophyte like me.  Now, I know a few things that could cause this problem but lack the necessary skills to determine what question is making me. What I've read, these could be possible questions:

    1: my new graphics card is not compatible with my motherboard. It's something I know now that I should have checked before buying and something I should theoretically be able to do it now, but I am at a loss on how to do it. My card is compatible with my motherboard?

    2 could be a BIOS problem. I updated my bios driver with the version provided by the HP site. I am running FRIEND 7.16 05/10/2011.  And from what I've read it might have something to do with my bios to UEFI mode and I would need to go to a legacy mode so he can recognize a new device, is it true? I am extremely wary of messing with my BIOS settings for fear of bricking my system. How can I check my current BIOS settings are and what I should change and how would approach I change them? Will one of these changes affect my system if they are not what is not causing the problem?

    In addition to these issues, anyone know any other matter which may be the cause of the problem that I should look for? Thanks for any help.

    Hello @Eric_Z,

    I can see why you are having problems with your new graphics card, and to get to the fast response that your motherboard is not compatible with the new graphics card that you have purchased. And here's why.

    Your motherboard according to the page HP Pavilion HPE h8-1020 Desktop PC product specifications is the Carmel motherboard, which has the following expansion slots:

    • A PCI Express x 16
    • Three PCI Express x 1 connectors
    • A PCI Express Mini Card x 1

    As there is no version indicated for your PCI Express x 16 it slot means that it is version 1.

    Now, your previous graphics card was a PCI Express 2.1 x 16, which means that it was version 2 and compatible with your PCI Express x 16 slot on your motherboard. However, the new card is PCI Express 3.0 and will not work in your motherboard due to a compatibility break. While the technology is supposed to be compatible there are many cases where it is not, and I'm afraid that you meet one of these cases.

    I am offering an overclock.net article entitled: the final answer to the controversial compatibility of PCIe x 16 version. where your situation has been tested and examined.

    I hope this helps. Have a great day and thank you for display on the HP Forums!

  • HP a6000 and new graphics card

    Hello

    I have HP computer with nvidia 9500gs graphics card a6542.cs. I want to buy a new graphics card. But I also need a new source (at least 550w). So I want to ask which source of size (mm) what am I looking for? I think of the 550 and many nvidia graphics card more. Could you give me some advice on the graphics card?

    Lubos of Slovaki

    Replacement POWER supply is a must if you want to GF550 or higher. Go at least 500W and make sure it has 6 pins VGA extra power connector. About the VGA card I'd rather go to GF460, which is older and can be less expensive and beats GF550

    NVidia reference card should fit into your chassis, but the size may vary according to the manufacturer.

  • $1200 to spend on a new graphics card to change music 4 K videos in first Pro CC2015

    Hi guys,.

    I want to buy a new graphics card for my video clip editing in Adobe first Pro CC 2015 and I was wondering what was the best option with a budget of $ 1200. I was watching the new Quadro M4000. What would you recommend?

    PS. : I have a processor Intel Quad-core i7 (3.4 ghz) PC with 16 GB of Ram and running Windows 7 64 bit.

    Thank you!

    I suggest the GTX 970 for less than $300. Use your savings to double your memory up to 32 GB and for a couple of SSDS. These last two investments will have far more impact on performance than buying a video card more expensive which is exaggerated absolute on your machine.

    Hello, I would like to take advantage of the promotions on Adobe Photoshop for a single user (valid until tomorrow), but I have two questions.  First of all, I intend to buy a new computer for a month and for the moment, I don't know if it will be a pc or a mac. Do I have to decide at the time of the purchase, what system I'll use?  Secondly, I also have a plan for about a month to open an individual company. If I buy the program as a person, could I then use it as a business?

    Creative cloud is cross-platform. Licensing is not serious. By definition, an "enterprise" might as well be a single person. It is totally irrelevant, as long as you purchase a full license appropriate regardless of any promotion.

    I can also clearly see that disk hard fails or starts the Windows 7 Edition operating system home premium.

    I am running Nvidia GT 630, and back on this card machines works well again.

    It just loks like the new graphics card prevents the hard drive to run.

    All attached cables (power cable 6 pin) and locked firmly into the PCI slot.

    Is it possible that the new card draws so much power that it prevents the hard drive of the race?

    When you press ESC, it seems that the hard drive is registered in the Bios.

    This nvidia gtx 950 is better? It seems to be more the size of the one I have - nvidia GT 630. Link shows specifications.

    I'm not familiar with current PC for sale, regarding upgrades.  Since is considered a new HP, try looking at the list of options on the HP website.  Most higher end PC have the options that you choose before buy you, to customize the generation.  Choose a model with options that match your criteria now and notice the upgrade options - write down them - to avoid confusion later.  OR go with a customized version, but this could mean significant spending.  It is the hand off the coast between prebuilts and personalized.
