Update video card with Pavilion H8-1214

I have a HP Pavilion HPE H8-1214 with 6 X AMD970 chipset of the motherboard Gigabyte M3970AM, 10 GB memeory with an AMD Radeon HD7450 graphics card. It works really well, with the exception of the video card, which is usually the pint of starter in over-the-counter computers. I bought a power supply 600W for extra power and PCI-E cable; the installation went well and the computer still works well.

HOWEVER...

Bought and tried an AMD R7-260 at Best Buy, which is a compatible card PCI-E x 16. No love, died in the start screen.

Tried an AMD R5-240, still no love & dies to the start screen.

Tried a 690 Nvidia it (what is said HP IS compatible) - died still in the start screen.

Finally got a Nvidia 610 to run there, but it's not better than than the AMD Radeon HD 7450.

Is there something that I am missing? BIOS has been flashed to 7.16, it's all clean and works very well with the 7450. Suggestions, please and thank you!

You are welcome.  Thank you for the additional information.

HP makes a great computer.  Therefore, it does not surprise me that is to be reliable and durable.

Here's a video card made by MSI that has a switch that will allow him to work with legacy and UEFI BIOS' are.  The only problem is the length.  It is 9.84 "in length.  You can make a model of the size of the card to see if it will enter in the space provided for this purpose.  There's a video directly below the image of the map.  Paul of Newegg did a good job of describing the map.

  • Food and update video card for Pavilion s5 - 1021p

    I want to upgrade the power supply 270w in my Pavilion s5 - to 500-600w 1021p and replace the graphics card integrated with a Radeon 4650 video card.  Is it possible, given the constraints of size?  Any help is appreciated!

    Hi callen3625,

    According to HP Partsufer, the power supply of your PC is not included because it has a separate part number.  This is also confirmed by the information contained in the library of Services HP partner.  The block of power SUPPLY HP Partsurfer therein is 220 watts.

    Look here in HP Partsurfer for video cards that are used in the new Slimline models with a 220 Watt power supply.  These cards have been made specifically for the HP Slimline PC with a 220 watt power supply.

    Even more recent slimlines are other graphics cards AMD that work with a 220 Watt power supply.  Look here and here.

    Review the specifications of performance ATI and NVIDIA . Look at the specifications of strip memory bandwidth and level of DirectX support.

    You should contact HP support and get a recommendation of the video card or maybe even HP Partsurfer.

    @johnh48, welcome to the forum.

    The most recent video cards require UEFI in the motherboard instead of a standard/Legacy BIOS.  HP didn't start using UEFI to mie-October 2012.  The BIOS may not be upgraded in the UEFI.  The last cards only not for UEFI are the GTX 660/670.

    Here is a video card that will give you what you need.  However, it will take a power supply (PSU) upgrade, too.  I love Corsair products.  I propose a modular power supply at least 500W.  Almost any card that meets your needs will require an upgrade of the power supply.

  • 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.

  • Update video card for 500-027 c

    Im looking to upgrade my video card for HP 500-027c desktop computer and I was wondering if it can accommodate an EVGA GTX760 SC? I heard some people having problems with the GTX760 series of BIOS and doubts as to my turn may even support a double tie. Any suggestions?

    Kevin, welcome to the forum.

    I think that users who have problems have not a UEFI BIOS into the motherboard.  Your computer has a complete UEFI BIOS.  The problem you will have is the length of the card (10.5 ") and the need for power (600 w) with a minimum of 42 amps on 12V + rail.  You can make a model of the size of the card to see if it will fit.  You need a lot of space for good air circulation.  The power supply can be improved.  You must at least 700W.

    Note: After further research, I found that there are several different sizes of this video card with the requirements of different powers and lengths.

  • Update video card for Dell XPS 8300

    I'm looking for suggestions for a video card to replace the original NVIDIA GT420 DDR3 1 GB video card in my XPS 8300 running with Windows 7 64 bit.  The PSU is rated at 460 W (+ 12VA-18 a; + 12VB 16 A; + 12VC 8A; + 5V 25A; + 5V to the 2 0a; 3.3V 17A; and - 12V 0-3).  I would avoid upgrading the power supply if possible.

    The original of the NVIDIA card is a PCI Express x 16 slot.  I don't know if it's PCI Express x 16 or PCI Express 2.0 x 16.  Someone knows for a desktop XPS 8300 bought July 2011.

    Thank you.

    It is difficult to determine how quiet a card can be if you look on the comments of the people who bought the specific card you want, or you happen to find a professional opinion on this.   I find most of the double slot cards or cards with the biggest fans to shut up, so I don't think you need worry too much noise.   I have a Sapphire HD 6870 and it's very quiet.  I don't know the HD 7750 is fine for your application and games even if it will happen later.  With the game, you kind of match the video card with the monitor you own and resolution capabilities.  If you have a high screen resolution of 1920 x 1080 or more and you want to set this resolution, then you want a better video card.  After rebate, it may be that a difference of $20 between the 7750 HD and HD 7770 so keep that in mind also.

  • Pavilion 500-339: update video card for a 500-339 Pavilion... room with Ram?

    I posted a message here a few days ago because I wanted to find a possible upgrade for my graphics card. I have a Pavilion 500-339, 3.5 GHz with 8g of RAM. The video card is a Radeo R7 240 and I want to upgrade. Big_Dave said (thanks for that!) but I am facing another problem. The motherboard is good, but compact and I fear that new video card (because it is longer) pretty much sitting on top the RAM (if it fits in all). I know that my computer is not a "PC game", but would that be a problem? One more time card would still hold? What choices do I have? Thank you

    Hello:

    There is no graphics removable/replaceable/extendable 'cards' in your noteobook.

    (GPU) graphics cards, are chips that are welded and their circuit integrated on the motherboard.

    The only way to update the graph on your laptop would be to replace the motherboard.

    But as the graphical installation program has your laptop is the best that HP offered for this model, there is no motherboards available with better graphics.

  • HP Pavilion Elite HPE-210f: update video card

    A PNY gtx 950 should physically be in a HP Pavilion Elite HPE-210f? I already know that I have to upgrade the power supply, but before shelling out more money, I figured I would see if anyone knew if the card fits?

    KKingotu, welcome to the forum.

    The problem you will have with the GTX 950 is, it requires UEFI in the motherboard instead of a standard BIOS.  HP didn't start using UEFI until mid-October 2012.  Your computer was released on February 5, 2010.  There is no way to update the UEFI BIOS.  You can contact Technical Support PNY to see if they have a VBIOS update for the video card that will work with your motherboard.

    Meanwhile in the space provided, you can measure e/s rear plate on the front of the computer case to see if any of the components.  In addition, it is a wide double card (two locations).

    I'll add 4additional giggabites to increase the total memory (RAM) to 8 GB so connected.

    And besides, I will buy a 400W power supply.

    Will this work for my current 6654 Pavilion?

    You are welcome!  Thank you for the additional information.

    As I suspected, your computer has a standard BIOS.  This means that you can buy an older video card.  I love EVGA products.  I suggest to find a card you like and contact Tech Support from the manufacturer (Technical Support EVGA 1-888-880-3842) in order to ensure that it will work on your computer.  It is the best way I found to do not have to make a return.  The last card done EVGA used a standard BIOS was their 640 GT.  Some of them have a update for the VBIOS that allows them to run with a standard BIOS.

    Now for the power supply (PSU).  I love Corsair products.  I normally recommend at least 500W.  This allows for future updates.  A modular power supply is good for smaller cases.  Simply use the required cables, allowing a better air circulation.  You must measure the existing PSU and compare the measurements to the one you choose.  All connectors must be compatible.

  • Pavilion 500-339: update video card for a 500-339 Pavilion

    I have a HP Pavilion 500-339. AMD A10, processor 3.5 GHz quad-core with 8 GB of RAM, running windows 8.1, 64-bit. It came with a Radeon R7 240 video card. I know that physical space is limited inside the computer case, but what could I upgrade to that would fit? While not the biggest PC-gamer out there, I do not play a bit and I would like the best features. Thank you!

    Hello

    Without replacing the power supply, the NVIDIA GTX 750 TI would be an excellent choice. Choose a model that does not require a 6-pin auxiliary power connector.  Open your Pc and do some measures so that you know for sure that the GTX model 750 will be fit. Most should adapt to certain expectations.  Know what the return policy is before you buy.
