Update graphics card on HP Pavilion PC h8-1214

Can someone suggest a good upgrade for the video graphics card on my son's computer?  It's a HP Pavilion HPE h8-1214 desktop PC.  It is an age of high school gamer so I'm looking for something in the sub series $400 (or even less if possible).  I don't know if he really needs an upgrade, but when he bought the computer, the former owner told him that he should update the graphics card in about a year.  I think he still has the card that came with the computer. a graphics card Radeon HD 7450 with 1 GB of DDR3 memory dedicated.  I guess I also need to check and see if she still only a 300W power supply or if the previous owner has replaced that.  Site HP says that there must be a PCI Express x 16.

Hello

A video card the fastest for the games will require at least a 500 Watt power supply.  The Corsair CX500, or CX600 would fit well in the H8-1214.  As for a video card, NVIDIA GTX 660 (double wide card) should be enough for most modern video games.

  • Update graphics card on HP Pavilion DV6920ea

    Hello world

    I was wondering if it is possible to replace the graphics card for my HP Pavilion DV6920ea. It comes with Nvidia 8400 m GS graphics card.

    I searched around, and I understand that it is difficult to update the graphics card on computers laptops/netbooks and that whole motherboard replacement may be necessary to replace the card if it is integrated into the card mother.

    I looked at what I think is the graphics card inside the laptop and it doesn't seem to be welded. I am looking at the right thing, it means it is easily replaceable?

    I think the upgrade to a graphics card more high end... (more than 8400 m maybe 8800 m)

    Any help is appreciated.

    You can improve 3D performance (as in the games) to disable Aero snap and replace your desktop Windows Classis theme. Who will free up memory for your game resources.

    Regarding how I diagnosed your laptop scalability goes... I use research to do. I find which chipset is installed, and the features of the HP motherboard. Lets read the tech on the phone manual always.

    With HP laptop/portable computers, you can assume generally that except if graphic switchable part package was purchased then you can not move the graphic solution.

    There are a few upgrades graphic external relatively expensive available on the market. ViDock2 is one of these products. It's an interesting device. Using the ViDock you can play any game on the market using your laptop.

  • HP Pavilion Elite h8 - 1070t: updated graphics card for HP Pavilion Elite h8 - 1070t

    Up to what series Gtx is compatible with this model on computer? I tried to install a Gigabyte Gtx 960 card to my pc and it was not compatible. I have read similar problems for older models of PC and I was wondering the compatibility for this particular model range.  In addition, Gtx 750ti will be compatible with this model?

    Thank you.

    Hello

    Your PC is a PC old BIOS and most new graphics cards are active UEFI.

    Most, if not all of the NVIDIA GTX 7xx and 9xx series graphics cards with some exceptions will not work on your PC. The BIOS of your PC is not compatible with these graphics cards.

    The NVIDIA GTX 660 with a 600 Watt power supply will be all that you can do better.  The NVIDIA GTX 670 and 680 can also work, but they can be finicky in older PCs.

  • update graphics card on HP Pavilion P6347C

    I want to upgrade the video card on my HP Pavilion P6347C. He is currently using an ATI Radeon HD 4200. I am video rendering using Camstasia and memory cannot keep up (for example, changes to the system color scheme and makes it take very long). I am running Windows 7 Professional 64 bit.

    What video card is compatible with this machine? Should I update the food too?

    I'd appreciate really any guidance. Thank you!

    Hello

    ' HP ' how-to ' articles should be useful.

    If you consider the card $130 then consider the below video card and power supply.

    This Sapphire 6850 1 GB video card would be a very good choice. $135 after rebate. 8.5 "length of the map. 128 GB/s.

    The Corsair CX500 would be an excellent choice for a power supply. $40 after rebate.

    Open your PC and a few measurement in parallel with the PCI-E x 16 slot to see how long of a video card will fit. The adjacent slot on the PCI-E x 16 slot must be vacant. Look at the motherboard, and ensures that the components on the motherboard will not interfere with the installation of the video card.

    ' HP ' how-to ' articles should be useful.

    30 minutes of video means that there will be a lot of megabytes, or gigabytes to treat.  I/o wait time to send data on the hard drive are probably where most of the time will be spent.  Installing a solid state drive will reduce considerably so far here.  You can install the SSD as a second hard drive and use it for your video work active.  Video inactive should probably be archived in a cheaper camera.   I would wait on the SSD until you can evaluate the results of the new video card.

  • I am trying to upgrade graphics card on a Pavilion m7250.uk, radeon hd 5670

    I'm trying top grade of a 512 MB Radeon X 1650 to a Radeon HD 5670 1 GB graphics card on my Pavilion m7250.uk who has been classified it with a PSU 550w, 2 GB of Ram. On paper this should work and the card fits perfectly, but it does not start correctly. Card provider think it may be the motherboard or Bios and there may be a solution out there. Please advice! See you soon.

    Hello:

    If I'm not mistaken, the card you are trying to install is PCIe 2.1.

    Your PC was introduced in October 2005.

    This means that the slot is PCIe 1. 0 a, or at best, PCIe 1.1.

    For some reason, PCIe 2.1 cards have a hit or miss work history with these old version PCIe connectors.

    So that this card has a very high probability of working, you would have a PCIe 2.0 on the motherboard slot.

    There are no patches or updates to BIOS to change the version of the crack.

    My recommendation would be to return the card and get a powerful high 2.0 PCIe card of your choice.

    PCIe 2.0 video cards have a high success rate to work with a slot PCIe 1.1 or 1. 0a.

  • (More)! Update graphics card issues

    Hi all. I posted before with respect to the upgrade of the power supply and graphics card for my Pavilion P7-1235. I'll do it myself so I was double and triple check what exactly I want to do! I have not yet open the case of my P7-1235, but have found a few photos online. The map I set about obtaining was a Radeon 7750. However, it seems that those who are not as available as they used to be. I liked this card because it was a single one location. It seems that most cards are now double slot. Is there someone has installed a card double slot in their HP, perhaps the same model or series as mine? I was wondering how he did.  I see maybe a 7770 or 7790 would work. I get a new PSU as well and I found a brand that is the exact size of one already installed. This new will be 500 watts. I guess I'm worried buy a card and find that it is too high or too long to fit in the case. Answers or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    I have recommended card double slot to many members.  They are normally 1.5 "wide.  This will cover one of the PCI Express x 1 slots, but most people don't use all of them anyway.  You can measure the space where the card will fit so that you know for some.  The main concern with the video card is the length.  I would normally recommend not more than 9 ".  This ensures that it fits with room for all the connectors of power on the end of the map.

    Here are two guides to help you to install the video card and PSU.  In addition, the entire section "adding / replacement of hardware" to the computer.

    If you have any questions, let me know.

  • Equium P300-16 t and update graphic card

    Hi all.

    I was thinking about upgrading my graphics on the computer laptop satellite P300-16 t. I have not opened yet so my question is, has anyone here opened this machine? If so, is there a way to install a dedicated graphics card? i.e. the pcie? Could someone please advise if there are institutions in the machine to upgrade my graphics?

    My gratitude in advance for any help.

    In General, update graphics card is not supported and cannot be done.
    Toshiba has written about it in http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB9401AX0001R01.htm

    A common problem with portable mobile is the heat and to built the effective cooling system. Each laptop has optimized cooling system. More powerful graphics card will produce more heat, and this balanced hardware platform will not properly work. Can result in permanent damage from overheating or material.

    Maybe stupid comment now, but if you need more powerful your laptop sell on eBay and buy a new one.

  • How can I determine compatibility graphics card for a Pavilion P6-2378?

    Is there a manual or a list of compatible graphics cards for my Pavilion P6 2378 office? I have improved the power to 500 watts and try to install a Sapphire Radeon HD 7850 PCIe 3.0. It is buggy on startup because it takes about 45 seconds for the display to get a signal and Windows Media center does not open with the card, but does so with the removed card.

    Thank you for your response... P6-2378 is a desktop, not a laptop. I found the cause of the problem and it has to do with the settings that HP or Microsoft Wind8 in the WOODS with the parameter 'Secure Boot'. It must have the value 'Legacy Boot' for a different graphics card to work.

  • Power supply with updated graphics card update

    I am considering buying the HPE-150 t with an improved graphics card standard:

    1 GB ATI Radeon HD 5770 [2 DVI, HDMI, DP, VGA adapter]

    I went on http://support.asus.com/PowerSupplyCalculator/PSCalculator.aspx?SLanguage=en-us to the appropriate power needed for this gauge system, and it recommends a minimum 450 Watt power supply.

    If I ended up buying the HPE-150 t with updated graphics card, I get a power supply improved to compensate for the increase of energy consumption?


    Here are the specs of your motherboard.  It indicates a 350 Watt PSU.  However, if you scroll down to hardware options, you will see a 460 watt power supply associated with the 5770 video card.

  • HP Pavilion G070ca: update graphic card

    I'm just curious to know what graphics cards I can install in my laptop. I have the 17-inch HP pavilion G070ca laptop, it uses a processor intel I7-5500u and a nvidia GT940m. I would like to probably the 970 or 980 just wanting to know if people are compatiable with my laptop

    Hello:

    There is no removable or stretch graphics card in your laptop.

    Nvidia GT940m GPU is integrated to the motherboard and the only way to update the graphics would be to replace the motherboard together with one of those enrolled in the service manual for your laptop model that may have better graphics.

    It would be a very costly intensive project work.

    Better sell your laptop and one with the graphic solution you want to get.

  • Update graphics card on Pavilion

    I have a Pavilion P6719 desktop computer.  My son is unable to play games 3D on Steam, and so I was wondering what I should update the graphics card.  I was also told I need upgrade the power supply because it is 250 watts.  No idea how much these improvements?  Thank you.

    Hi, I'm glad I could help.

    Since your motherboad specifications, you should be ok.

    It has a PCI Express Gen 2.

    The provision should allow a video card double width.

    The current supply is a standard ATX case size.

    It's 250 watts, so you will need to update.

    So quite here what they are available everywhere.

    I can truly say all the necessary connections for sure without actually opening it watch, if you order something without knowing for sure get something with a lot of connections to the computer.

    A ULTRA ULT-LSP750 should do the trick.

    It has enough additional connections which should cover all the bases.

  • Updated my graphics card for HP Pavilion Elite e9107c?

    Hi all

    I want to update my graphics card for my computer, I can barely run settings means on most games these days, I never upgraded a computer in front of either, this was pre-built.

    I am aware that the case is really small, but I'm not interested to buy a new computer/case. I want to just buy a graphics card and a power supply so I can run games like Guild Wars 2 and BF3 on medium-high settings. My computer can not handle same BF3 with resolution of 800 x 600, with windows, and graphic down, I get 10 frames per second at most out of it.

    Then I would ask, what is the best graphics card that can fit in my computer? And her appropriate food to go with it?

    TECHNICAL DATA:

    Computer name: HP Pavilion Elite e9107c

    Processor: Intel Core 2 Quad Q8200(2.33GHz)

    Graphics card: ATI Radeon HD 4350

    Power: 300W

    Motherboard:

    RAM: 8 GB

    32-bit operating system - Windows 7

    I am sure that all this is true, if I'm wrong, you can check online, its pre-built and I have not touched since.

    I don't know what my motherboard, is the one that comes with the computer, I found this out of a site, and I think it's good, I'm not too sure:

    Motherboard - PEGATRON CORPORATION / model: 1.01 Eureka3

    I know either the size of the card, or the power supply.

    Whatever it is it would help a lot! My computer is already 3 years old, and I can not play games like TF2 and Skyrim above 800 x 600 with the everything low-medium settings by getting 20 + FPS.

    Thanks in advance for the answers, I will add more information, if I listed those are not sufficient.

    Navibol,

    Looking at your specifications and the requirements of the games you listed, BF3 is most intense.

    (1) you must measure the length available. See here

    (2) I would recommend the EVGA GTX560 or GTX560Ti, see here

    3) the minimum POWER supply: 560 suggests a 450W power supply, the 560Ti suggests 500W PSU.

    I would say the Rosewill 630 or Corsair 600 . I'm the Rosewill this bias.
