• Pavilion p6-2065uk: update video card

  Update video card.

  Is it possible to update my current graphics card which is open GL compatible videao 256 of ram and a resolution of 1280 x 720

  I use version 10.5 On1 photo software which is a little slow with my current video function.

  Any advice will be appreciated

  @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.

  In the window that appears, find graphics card and press the sign more or arrow to the left of it. It should fall down the name of the video card you have.

• HP Phoenix H9 - 1150T: NO video on an updated video card

  Installation of a 370 R7 graphics card. I can adapt to and connect the power cable (500 watts). The computer starts with NO VIDEO at all. He seeks drivers and restart still no video. I watched this and it could be a bios problem. Checked relevant forum and site of video card without a son.   My motherboard has an older bios with no. UEFI. Is it possible to update the bios to UEFI support. Not searched high and low on HP sites, no chance. Megatends US to wonder about the mobo maker will mobo so see if they have an update. BTW this is for both systems are identical, they both have the same problem. Trying to avoid a call to technical support on my dime. If all else fails I will update a good not expensive mobo and re-use of ram and cpu.

  Thank you any help is welcome.

  . UPDATE * with several systems on hand. I realized the 370 R7 is NOT compatible with the system board. I put the R7 370 4 GB in an older HP (HPE580) and it worked. Then put the card of the HPE 580 in PHOENIX (h9 - 1150t) and it worked. It was an R9 270 2 GB. SO a R9 270 WORK of WILL and a R7 370 4 GB 2 GB won't WORK. Need a bios upgrade same MSI tech support said it was common on this model (h9 - 1150t) Phoenix. Thanks for the help!

• 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).

• custom update video card in Windows vista

  Well here is my problem, I recently started to play games on my PC but every time I try to launch a game, I'm down market square of steam, it tells me to update my video card driver and redirects me to this site http://www.intel.com/p/en_US/support/detect. After I scan my computer for updates I navigate through my products and my graphics driver it tellls me this

  A Intel® G33/G31driver current installed Build 7.15.10.1608 detected product

  A custom computer manufacturer driver is installed on your computer. The Intel Driver Update utility is not able to update the driver. Install a generic Intel driver instead of the driver from the computer manufacturer custom can cause technical problems. Contact yourcomputer manufacturer for the latest driver for your computer.

  So, how do I change that?

  Johnny, welcome to the forum.

  When a help request, you must always include the brand / model of the computer or the monitor. This information is necessary for us to review the specifications for them.

  HP has its video designed especially for them cards run with other OEM components.  Therefore, the driver is custom.  That's why the Intel driver will not work.

  If you want to play games on the computer, I suggest upgrading to a discrete video card.  This will eliminate the need for video to share system memory.  You will see an increase in the performance of the system and games will work much better.

• Satellite A100 - update video card

  Hello. Sorry for my English, I'm studying this language byself.
  I ask my request seriously. I studied for a long time patterns and the possibilities of the computer.
  Support the GeForce Go 7600 512 MB of video memory is officially declared, I found necessary modules of memory and replaced on the video card. I checked all currents and voltages.

  Operationally, the laptop works, but defines 256 MB memory of 512 possible. If I understand this restriction is set in the BIOS or VideoBIOS.

  Please, quick like me to solve this problem, any special version can eat BIOS for the increase in video memory.

  Problem is that Toshiba doesn't support these updates and doesn't offer any update of the BIOS that will help you with this.
  If a person make the decision to do this update is on own risk.

  You can be happy that everything runs smoothly and that there is no problem some serious with him.

• Pavilion 6654: 6654 update video card/power HP

  I'm interested in upgrading my video card for an ATI Radeon HD 4200 to a course "EVGA GeForce GTX 960 SuperSC ACX 2.0 + 2 GB memory GDDR5 128 bit PCI-E 3.0 Dual-Link DVI - I, 3 x DP, SLI, HDMI and HDCP, G-SYNC ready graphics 02G - P4 - 2966 - KR.  This graphics card will suit for my cpu and will work properly with the motherboard?

  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?

  Thank you!

  Thanks for the quick response. My computer is...   HP Pavilion p6654y desktop PC.

  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.

• Update video card for m8430f

  I currently have a Geoforce 8500GT. Is there a better update available. I have 300 w power, windows 7 64 bit, 8 MB of ram ddr2 and single slot pci express.

  This NVIDIA GT 240 should work or this model GT 240 1 GB DDR5.

  Unplug your computer and open it. Read the label on the power supply unit (PSU).  What is the total power and amperage on the bus + 12 volt?  The amount of amperage + 12 volts is important when choosing a video card.

  I use the card above in one of my PC (m9200t) who has the same motherboard as your PC.  Check the amperage on the bus + 12 volts.

• Update video card to run the Sims 3

  I'm on a Dell Latitude D505 and need to update my video card to run the sims 3.  I have no idea how to proceed.  Is this somehting that I can download?

  There are hundreds of different video cards available in stores and online, such as bestbuy.com tigerdirect.com newegg.com computer.   I also think that Wal-Mart may have a couple of them in their computer section...

  few cards have their own memory and processor, which is dedicated solely to the graphics processing.   These cards help the central processor (cpu) on the motherboard by managing complex graphics data.

  the cards come in different degrees of power and style and price.  In addition, they are made to conform to the specific version of the operating system.  In addition, the game itself has requirements as well.   but in general, a good video card works for many games.

  to install a card, you will need to disconnect the computer from the power source and then open the side panel.   the card mother aura of slot machines, where these kinds of cards integrated.

  However, motherboards equipped with different styles slot and video cards are manufacturerd with differring styles to fit these slots.

  you will need to see again you, manual of the computer or online to see what style of slots has the motherboard, then get a proper map style that corresponds to this.

  also, since their CDs and cards is manufactured in the past, it is necessary to visit the homesite maps to download its latest software and drivers after installing the card.

  Although the above seems a bit complex.  It's pretty easy.

  the hardest part is deciding which card to buy.  the easiest part is then plugged into the motherboard.

• Update video card for Optiplex 980

  Hello-

  I need to update my video card.  I recently started to do video and photo editing, and I think that my video card is one of my bottlenecks.  Other features of the system: Windows 7 Pro 64 bit, 16 GB RAM, Core i7 2.8 GHz,

  I currently have a Synergy Edition PCI Express Zotac GeForce GT 430 2 GB card.  It is installed in the blue slot (if it matters).

  I want to get the best map as I can for this computer.  While the money is still a problem, I really need to increase the length of time that the system needed to make the video and create previews for a catalog of Adobe Lightroom 125 000 images.   I have 3 questions:

  1. I'm not sure I understand... the PCI Express 2.0 v 3.0 and the x 4, x 16, specifications.  I am concerned to do the wrong type of card.

  2. I'm afraid that I don't have enough power for a more powerful card.  The current power supply has a maximum 305 w output power.

  3. it seems that there may be a limitation of physical size on the length of the card because of the cpu heatsink.  My optiplex, is that if large size with the CD/dvd installed horizontally on top of the case and 4 ports usb in the front.  (I have attached a file to the post with a picture of the possible interference)

  Serial number is: 4JWKJM1

  Thanks in advance for your suggestions

  Todd

  Because you have a tower with 305 w power that a card Geforce 750 TI with simple fan alias cannot exceed 8 inches works very well.

• Update video card: 630i Desktop - need advice

  I have a Dell XPS 630i Desktop 5 1/2 year, which usually is going very well, with enough power for most of the cases.  Recently implemented a 125 GB SSD as drive operating system.

  Anyway, in these last days, we got some random video artifacts appears sporadically on one or two of my two monitors Viewsonic (DVI for both of the Nvidia 9800GT 512 MB video card).  A small section of the screen will have the weird characters, sometimes a bunch of screen Flash, etc.  And a few times that there was a BSOD crash, with the video driver (nvlddmkm.sys) be responsible.

  I tell myself that there must be a bad video card or driver.  I have updated to the pilot the most recent on the Dell site (R213185, 181.30, Vista 64, A04) and well.  But I have this vague feeling that it is a hardware problem.  If it was a driver problem, why now after all these years, he suddenly would be problems, no recent changes to the system, etc..

  I used the tools of diagnosis from Dell, which has tested the performance of the video card, memory, etc, and no errors were detected, which is encouraging.

  I post here, to seek advice, in which case the video card end up being the problem and need to be replaced.

  1. If I decide to replace it, what are some good recommendations for a new map of video for this system (Core 2 Quad Q6600 2.40 GHz, 6 GB of RAM).  I don't want exaggerated and pay for potential performance of video card I would not be obtained with the old motherboard, CPU, RAM, etc.

  2. the current system is sufficient for most cases, with the main shortcoming being the slow performance when you are working on my of Canon DSLR Raw files in Adobe Camera Raw and Photoshop, watch a HD video from camcorders or other sources, etc.  In this regard, replace the video card would provide a substantial improvement in this type of performance?

  3. I'd rather than replace the entire office by something more recent?

  All thought, popular point of view.

  Don

  Video card drivers can become corrupt and simply uninstall them and their update with a new driver may solve the problem.  It is more likely a hardware problem, a driver problem, even if the 9800 GT is an old map.  If he wasn't pushed hard with the game over the years, then it can last a long time. XPS 630i is a good system and with the Q6600 it is still worthy and can perform very well.  If you were to replace the video card, I'd just get something simple like the GTX 650 HERE, which would exceed the performance of the 9800 GT and not market much.

• LR shows strange pictures after updating video card.

  I got an update of the video card, after that, the new pictures that I imported to my computer, my explore did strange.

  I also imported photos into LR and then the photos looked like this (the same that they have shown in my explore).

  [url =http://s1120.photobucket.com/user/excentriekegast/media/20ad008f-ec52-491f-b95e-89b77ce6e5 e5.jpg.html] [img] http://i1120.Photobucket.com/albums/l481/excentriekegast/20ad008f-ec52-491F-b95e-89b77ce6e 5e5.jpg [line] [url]

  I've updated the chipset, clean the cache from my computer and LR.

  I deleted the imported pictures and put back them on my pc to my CompactFlash card.

  The photos looked normal in my explorer, but still the same thing on my LR.

  Please help me.

  With an update of the video card, I meant an update of the driver.

  I've not unhooked it and installed again. It worked, but I had to click on each thumbnail to make it good again.

  Thank you.

• Laptop HP 15-AC639NG: update video card

  Hello, I would like to upgrade the video card in my laptop, but I'm not familiar with laptops. How can I find what graphics cards are compatible with my motherboard? It is worth making the upgrade or is it risky? Currently I have a R5 AMD graphics card. What other advice you have for me? Thank you in advance.

  This is a very common question and who do not earn a lot of goodwill, but the truth is there is no way to upgrade your video. Laptops have custom designed mothers and many maps that you can insert into a desktop computer are installed in a laptop by the presence of soldered chips flat on the motherboard. I want to say have you ever seen a desktop video card? How could you possibly put something like in a laptop? Some special very, very made up of games and laptops of engineering have a slot to put a flat blg video card in but no laptop of HP consumer doesn't have such a slot. Laptops that have this ability are more than $2,000 and even then the cards are not freely interchangeable as a desktop computer. So, the simple answer to your question is that you can not do. I'm sorry.
