upgrade the video card?  2009 mac Pro

I have early 2009 (Nahelem?) Mac 2x2.26 quad core xeon

NVIDIA GeForce GT 120 512 MB

Bump the graphics card would be the best bang for the buck right now?

I use any Adobe. He knows favorite maps? I would also like to

TWO DVI slots on an analog card instead of a DVI + slot.

Links to wisdom are too thin.

Any advice, thanks.

Which is not a bad idea. You can choose the section of video cards tested, depending on the version of your PS. Also, make sure you have at least 1 GB of VRAM.

  • Upgrade the video card on Satellite X 200-20 g

    Hello everyone

    I'll find a way to have my 8700M GT updated on my X 200 laptop.
    I paid for it more than 2000 and I paid for 2 years warranty.
    A few months later, I discovered that some of the new Toshiba are equipped with 9700 m GTS!

    I know that the X 200-20 G is having a mxm graphics card which is removable to be upgraded (not being is not part of the motherboard).

    I couldn't find anywhere in the Toshiba site, where I can ask to buy a new graphics card, or if I can send my laptop and ask for an upgrade price.
    I suppose someone who has paid a sum of money for Toshiba can be listened to, or get a special offer to swap its model to the newest one after even not a year of use.

    I really want to upgrade the video card, and I don't really know where to find advice or information about it, other than on the side of Toshiba.

    Thanks to everyone or admin, to let me know how I should do, or process.

  • Upgrade the video card

    I have a HP Pavilion h9-1187 windows 64 - bit pc with nvidia GeForce GT 530 by default.  I need to upgrade the video card, but this motherboard has only one of pci express 16 3.0 slot.  Almost all decent video cards require two slots.  I guess that most cards except those in the crossfire, two cards together configuration, must the two slots.  Most of the time, I guess the seller asking two slots due to the space.  Remove the CAP from my pc and possibly void the warranty, can someone tell me what video card width this pc may take.   I have the motherboard COMPANY PEGATRON, the default value.  If you care to recommend a video card decent all 250-300us about feel free.  Thank you. Apologies, but as a newbie I also posted this in the hardware section of the bureau of the forum as well.  I'll delete the entry that is in the wrong part of the forum.

    When a card is listed as having "two slots", this means only that he would hold the PCIe x 16 location and regardless of the slot is adjacent. It does not require a connection to more than the PCIe x 16 slot. Looking at the photo below, the long black slit under the "IPMMB-FM" is the PCIe x 16 graphics card slot. "The slot short slot needs to be empty, then the '2 locations' map can adapt it without connection to this.

    Almost any card graphics PCIe 2.0, 2.1 or 3.0 will work on your computer. Please look at these PCIe x 16 graphics cards for a selection in your price range. Please see Guide of Dave_G of a discrete video card selection of useful information on the subject.

  • Impossible to upgrade the video card on 810-109 Phoenix Envy

    I bought a new desktop computer (810-109 Phoenix) and wanted to upgrade the video card. The new video card is a Zotac GTX 660. The thing is that the system does not boot with the new video card. I got continuous beeps from the system. I used 6 PCI-E power connector pins. The power suply is expected to support the video card, as it is listed as 600W and it is the wat recommended for the video card. I am runing Windows 8.1 64bits.

    Help, please.

    Hello:

    When you add a video card no HP in a PC provided with W8/8.1, you will need to change 2 settings of the BIOS before installing the card.

    Please read the info on the link below and hopefully that will solve the problem for you.

  • Upgrade the video card in Pavilion HPE 380t

    Hello

    I want to upgrade the video card in my HPE 380 t, currently it has geforce gtx 260, I want to install a geforce gtx 560 ti or 570.

    I have 2 problems with the viability of this. 1. space. and 2. Food. Has anyone successfully completed a similar upgrade on this system?

    Plug current sys is the following.

    • Intel Core i7 - 930 quad-core [2.8 GHz, 1 MB L2 + 8 MB of cache N3 shared]
    • 12GB DDR3 - 1066 MHz SDRAM [6 DIMMS]
    • 1 TB hard drive 7200 RPM SATA 3 Gb/s of 750Go
    • 1.8 GB NVIDIA Geforce GTX 260 [2 DVI, HDMI and VGA adapters]
    • LightScribe 16 X MAX drive DVD +/-R/RW SuperMulti

    power of 460 wt

    About the food, the psu calculator gives me the following recommendations

    I need my current configuration 529W!

    with a gtx 560 ti , I need 513

    with a gtx 570, I need 577W

    This raises a few questions:

    1. How can my system running on a 460wt power if the power supply calculator recommends 529w (nvidia reccomends a PSU 500w for the gtx 260 which is installed on my machine?)

    2. how the song gtx 560 ti could possibly require less energy than my current gtx 260?

    3. could I move to one of these cards without replacing the power supply? (I'd be willing to lose the dvd/rw drive, this falls 30w)

    4. what someone has updated the PSU in a HPE 380 t? Looks like there is a little extra space, but not much?

    About the video card itself, I am concerned about the space, I looked inside of the case, there is a decent amount of clearance around the gtx 260, but I'd love to hear from someone who has tried to replace this card.

    Specifications for standard cards are:

    gtx 260 courses:

    height: 4,376 inches, length: 10.5 inches, width: double slot

    recommended psu 500w

    GTX 560 ti

    height: 4,376 inches, length: 9 inches, width: double slot

    recommended psu 500w

    GTX 560 ti super clocked

    height: 9.4 inches, length: 11.8 inches, width: double slot

    GTX 570

    height: 4,376 inches, length: 10.5 inches, width: double slot

    recommended psu 550w

    bang for buck the 560 ti superclocked is the best deal, unfortunately they are also the most cumbersome...

    All advice appreciated!

    Hello

    The difference will be the distance between the power supply and the optical bays can be annoying.  Open your PC and do some measure and see if a thumb causes less issues.  Don't forget the extra cable lengths.

    Tip: When you install the new power supply, remove the front cover, lock the optical drive and slide if forward to facilitate the installation of the power supply. Do the PSU upgrade before you get your PC stable before installing new video card.

    These "how-to" HP articles should be useful.

    The OCZ has a bus verses double 12 volts the Corsair with a rail.  There is always a debate about who is best. Both have advantages and disadvantages.  I prefer implementing the only bus.  The really big PSUS, all seem to have several buses. The material of the size of the bus which had to bear the whole of the amperage on a bus would be rather substantial with very large power supplies and there are other reasons.

  • you will need to upgrade the video card. I was wondering

    Hi, I have a laptop 15 inch G62 - 348 CA with an AMD M880G with ATI Mobility Radeon HD graphics card 4250, and I know the laptop did not have option property other than the RAM upgrade, but I was wondering if I could switch to something were better I play black ops and others.

    It is not possible to upgrade the video card in your laptop, as it is physically soldered to the motherboard and for all practical purposes, is not a replaceable component.

  • Upgrading the video card in dv7-6179us

    Hello, I have a dv7-6179us, and I was wondering if the video card upgrade is possible and what would work as an upgrade. Currently, it has 1 GB AMD Radeon HD 6490 m card. When I run programs for video and photos, I always get the high CPU usage. So I was wondering if upgrading the video card would contribute to this.

    Thank you

    Hello:

    There is no video "cards" in most notebook PC including your own.

    The only way to update the graphics would be to replace the motherboard together with a support, which may have better graphics.

    Graphics of your model is in the upper part of the brand, so the only way to get better graphics performance would be to buy a new laptop with the desired graphic solution.

  • Advice on upgrading the video card in Studio 540

    I just picked up a used Studio 540 and was looking to upgrade the video card without having to buy a new power supply. I do a few games.  Anyone would be able to advise a good card that works in this machine? My budget is $ 150.  I was leaning towards a Sapphire Radeon 7750 brand or possibly a 7770 like this:

    http://www.Newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=N82E16814202011

    The specifications are the following:

    Studio 540
    Core 2 Quad Q9400 clocked at 2.6 GHz
    8 GB memory
    Hard drive 500 GB
    power SUPPLY 350 watt PSU
    1680 x 1050 resolution

    Thanks in advance.

    You always have a pretty decent system with Quad CPU and 8 GB of memory.  I love the Sapphire of HD7770 you have connected.  As long as you have the PCIe 6-pin power cable on your 350w unit, you should be fine.  It's going to be the best that you can get without taking account of an upgrade of the power supply.  I say go ahead because the 7750 HD is not that much less and the 7770 HD will be best for the games.

  • 6000 pro SFF: installing the video card on 6000 Pro SFF with BIOS 2.03

    I am in train to install a video card in my 6000 Pro SFF and find that when the new video card is inserted, neither she, nor my tip on video card working.

    Assuming that their must be a way to get the card to operate in the BIOS (2 786 v2.03), I'm going to the "Advanced" tab and find "PCI devices. Underside of the mentioned deviced is 'Controller VGA Intel'. Choice for this controller are the IRQ = 5, 10, 11, or disabled. Apparently, the default value is 5 because that's how it is now set.

    A little scared that if I put "Disabled", which will be not only the new video card does not work, but the video card on the motherboard won't work, too.

    Y at - it anyone out there that can tell me if you change the VGA Intel controller to disabled is the right way to install the new card, and that I only put my computer in a heavy paperweight by.

    You are welcome.  Thank you for the additional information.

    I don't think you have to do anything in the BIOS.  At least, I wouldn't do anything, until you have improved the PSU to see what is happening.

  • Advice to upgrade the video card on a6460t

    I have the Intel 2 Quad CPU @ 2.5 GHz, 4 GB of RAM.  I just got Microsoft Flight Simulator software & it tells me I have to update my current video adapter (Intel GMA 3100) to something that is DX10.  I understand that I must keep in mind power, type of available locations & size of the Board of directors when I update.  It's WAY over my head...  Can someone give me some ideas of what the video card upgraded to?  Something under $110?

    Hello

    This is a form oflink to your motherboard .

    a PCIe X 16 video card is what you need.

    Anything on this page should be sufficient. Just look at the specifications to ensure that the card is DX10 compliant, they are all under $ 100.00

    Try to buy only a great brand. (ASUS, XFX, Sparkle)  They actually have web support. I can't guarantee any video cards. They all use reference chipset design approved and provided by ATI or NVIDIA as the case may be.

    Upgrading to a power supply 500W-400 is a good idea. Corsair and OCZ make great PSU. Search the ATX12V v2.2 because this means that it will be all required cables and connectors for video cards available at the modern more (at this time).

  • Impossible to replace the video card - Pavilion Elite Pro 410 t

    Hello

    I have a HP Pavilion Elite Pro 410t with an ATI Radeon to 2 GB video card (I think a 5770 or 5570). I'll call this map.

    About 2 weeks ago it started making a noise annoying (sounded like a fan problem).

    I have a spare, older, working NVidia card fanless (calling card B) and I swapped it in using the method indicated in the guide of the user/service.

    When I turn on the Pavilion, it gives 3 beeps and there is no display, so I think that it does not recognize the video card.

    I put the card back in and it works fine, except that the fan sounds bad and I'm not confident, it will last much longer.

    I put the B card in another PC (home built) and it works fine.

    I tried card B in the Pavilion, making sure it was well set and I get always three beeps.

    I even went in the Pavilion BIOS settings to see if there was an option. There is no setting to choose the video card, but there only PCI-E option. Since I'm still just on the PCI-E slot, I left it alone.

    So I have a work card (B), but it won't work in the Pavilion for a reason any. Has anyone seen this?

    If it's a compatibility issue, is there a specific list of cards that works with my system? Do I have to buy the replacement of HP only? HP offers even replacements of video card for sale?

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Yes, okay.
    If you compare the PSU of the HP and the other PC (home built) - are there differences?
    Maybe you need more powerful or more efficient power supply?

    If you try the other power supply in your HP...?

  • UPGRADING THE VIDEO CARD

    I have a HP p6367c and I'm looking into upgrading the graphics card have first and finally the hard drive.  My first question is of course the graphics/video card.  Looking at my specs (http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c01961291) it is said that it supports DDR3 2 cards working together.  Sounds decent until I look at what support the motherboard and it goes further in detail.  I have a PCI Express X 16 or PCI Express 3 x 1 slot slot.  Then he supported speeds of 1066 MHz PC3-8500 or PC3 6400 800 MHz video cards.

    Now, I admit that I am not a master I.T..  I'm a professional video editor wishing to upgrade the graphics card in my PC to its full potential when adding to an HDMI output if necessary.  Watch sites like TIGER DIRECT, it seems that the best suited cards seems to be (G) DDR3 2 GB PCI Express 3.0, but unfortunately they are all x 16 location.  Can I go out with him on my PC?

    Thanks in advance!

    Hello:

    What say the specs, it's that you can use the integrated graphics card (Intel) or an add-in on the map.

    You cannot run them simultaneously.  Add it on the video card will disable the integrated Intel graphics card.

    You should be able to use any PCIe x 16 2.0, 2.1 (I don't know about 3.0 on this old model) video card of your choice, as long as the supply of power of the card needs are 300W, and it doesn't have a PCIe 6-pin supplementary power connector.
