Video update for m8120n card

I have upgraded my Hp Pavilion m8120n PC.

Here is a link to the plug on my computer

http://h10010.www1.HP.com/wwpc/ca/en/Ho/WF06b/12132708-12133156-12133158-12133158-12133158-80230858-...

I already updated the operating system to Windows 7 64 bit and 8 GB memory.  I'm looking to upgrade the video card then and don't mind the upgrade of the power supply to avoid overheating.

It currently has a GeForce 7350LE, 128 MB of memory DDR, i/o Ports: DVI, S-Video, VGA

I do not save files like photos, music, videos and documents on the pc, everything is recorded on the personal media player, to clean the PC. I use adobe photoshop and illustrator, play WoW and Second Life.

Currently, I have an option to upgrade the video card in one of the following:

1. 512 MB: $ 79.99

2 DER III 1024MO $119,00

3. the strength: 1 610 MB $149.00

 

The specifications of my computer said that until 623 MB Total available graphics memory as allocated by Windows Vista.

As I am now running on Windows 7 64 bit, I can go on the 623 MB? I would go with the III DER 1024 MB, but don't know if it will work for me.  And say I'm not for the 512 MB card, I notice the difference in the graphics, or would be - this small difference?

Thank you in advance.

Gabygab, welcome to the forum.

The amount of video memory on the video card is not limited by the operating system.  So, you can certainly buy a card with 1 GB of memory.  This will give you a good performance increase.

I like XFX, BFG, EVGA, Sapphire and PNY in that order.  These are all very good manufacturers.  The key is to stay less than 9 "long; 8.5 "would be better.  Otherwise, you may have space problems.  The map in the link I have provided may not be the card you purchase, but this is a good example of what you need.  Read the customer reviews on any card you choose.  They give you the straight scoop, manufacturer hype.  At this point, I went to the ATI/AMD cards.  ATI offers software (Catalyst Control Center) which allows you to adjust the fan speed and overclock the card if you wish.  Remember one thing, more speed equals more heat.

The upgrade of the power supply (PSU) is a very good idea.  It would give you more choices of video cards.  Most of the cards more recent mid-level requires a minimum of 400W.  I love OCZ and Corsair.  The PSU is the backbone of the system, this is not a place to cut costs.  I suggest to measure the existing PSU and comparing them to the one you choose.

    Yes, a new video card erases a large number, if not all of your games graphics problems. The problem is that you will need to replace your power supply by a more powerful to support a class game graphics card. The Corsair CX500 and CX600 are excellent choices because they are favorite forum and known to adapt to many cases of HP without problem. Please see Guide of Big_Dave for the selection of a discrete video card for information about the choice of a graphics card.

  • Video update for my P7 - 1380t

    Hello

    I just purchased a P7 - 1380t and it was not an option for updating my video card.

    I was wondering what video (DIRECTX.11) card will work in this testbed?

    2.0x16 PCIe

    EXPERTS?

    Thank you

    Joe

    Here are the specifications and configurable options for your desktop HP Pavilion p7 - 1380t CTO. According to specifications, graphic selections optionally include the following;

    Intel Graphics Media Accelerator HD graphics integrated (default)

    GeForce GT 530 (2 GB)

    GeForce GT 620 (1 GB)

    GeForce GT 630 (2 GB)

    GeForce GT 640 (3 GB)

    Radeon HD 7350 (512 MB)

    Radeon HD 7450 (1 GB)

    Radeon HD 7570 (2 GB)

    The cards you get when ordered with your computer HP are manufactured units of reduced power. Commercial versions of these same cards can (very probably will be) require a power greater than the power of 300 watts supplied with your computer.

    To sum up;

    (1) If you buy one of these cards to HP, they will work without problem.

    (2) If you buy a commercial version of one of these cards, you may need to upgrade your power supply.

    (3) If you purchase any card retail more energy than the models above, you will need to upgrade your power supply.

  • Satellite P30: Where are updates for graphics card?

    Why is there not an updated driver dedicated to... Well well... every laptop that has the ATI graphics card? I have downloaded those for my laptop (P30), 2 years of delay, downloaded a few for the last notebook with the same type of card - they work - but are also 2 years out of date.

    I m using the Omega drivers that overheat the card to the point where everything will probably melt someday and I can do without them, can not play city of Heroes, can't play Doom 3, can not play Half Life 2, cannot play a newer than 2 years game.

    Hello

    I can't give you a good answer why there is no update driver for old devices most recent graphics card. But the fact is that Toshiba designed many laptops including several different graphics cards and there are the latest graphic drivers. In addition graphics drivers from Toshiba are not the same thing as the manufacture of graphics cards drivers. The graphics on laptops are not same as of the graphics cards on the desktop PCs. Don t mix that!

    Graphics drivers of Toshiba supports protection against overheating. This is important because the graphics card can not be cooled as on the desktop PC. If the inverse of temperature at the critical level, the pilot will be decrees performance of the card to make the lower temperature.

    Need a product like Roxio Easy VHS to DVD.  If comes with an adapter USB to connect to your output video and audio as well as the software. Buy directly from Roxio gives you a 30-day refund window.

    I think that the version of Roxio Creator 2010 IS also has the same card but includes more features with the software.  You can buy this 'special edition' version to the SAM Club' has or Costco.

  • Video update for DV7-4087 cl laptop PC?


    Hi Fabio,.

    See Page 98 of your Service & Maintenance Guide for a list of compatible processors.

    Sorry to say, but it is not really practical to change your video card - your existing Intel physically soldered to the motherboard chip and therefore, is not an evolutionary element.

    Kind regards

  • Satellite Pro A100: How to get updates for driver for ATI Radeon Mobility X 1400

    Hello

    I am aware that the driver for my on-board graphics card is outdated.
    When I download a updated from ATI driver and try to install, it tells me that I can't install the update the system there and contact Toshiba for the updates.

    Please can someone tell how can I get a driver updates for this card on my Satellite Pro A100 series?

    Concerning

    Macca.

    Hello

    You can not install drivers ATI ATI site because these drivers are not designed and certified for Toshiba laptops.
    These drivers can affect the functionality of notebooks and in worst cases could overheat your GPU

    * So if you want to use these drivers, you can do it but only at your own risk! *

    You can install this driver in Device Manager;
    You must use the Advanced installation procedure and you will have to indicate where the graphic driver files were stored on the HARD drive

    Good bye

  • AMD video driver for my laptop is out of date. Is there an easy way to update?

    The driver listed for your laptop with a Radeon graphics card can be exceeded, but there may be an option to update.

    AMD strongly recommend using OEM driver as laptops are customized by the OEM, but some users have a need or desire to have the latest driver available.

    I used Steam from Valve platform for years to update my ATI/AMD drivers for my laptop and desktop with a Radeon graphics card.  Note that Steam is developed by Valve and it is not associated with HP.

    This method is not known outside the community of players, and I would like to share this method.

    1. install Steam store.steampowered.com.

    2. once it is installed and creating an account, please sign in.

    3. click on Steam at the top left of the page.

    4. Select search automatically updates of the video driver.

    5. it will scan your material and detect the most recent driver and software for the Radeon card.

    6 if there is nothing new, it will prompt to install.  Follow the prompts.  If there is nothing new, it will indicate that you already have the most recent.

    The method above is what I consider the best way to get updates from AMD driver for Radeon cards.  If it is a switchable graphic system, this should work as long as the AMD card is active.

    My laptop is switchable graphics and it worked for me.  However, there are some cases of switchable graphics where it may not work.

    I hope this helps.

    Hello

    When you say "live update" are you talking about Windows Update?

    If so, you can go to the ATI site and download the latest driver for this video card. Here are the download links for the drivers later, Windows 7, 9.9 32-bit and 64-bit version for the Mobility Radeon 3000 series.
