  I want graphic better due to the fact that a lot of my boys want to play PC games does not work because of the graphics card.

  Thank you

  Ladungan, Yes, you can switch to a dedicated PCI Express x 16 video card.  However, there are three considerations.  First is the power of the power supply (PSU) and the second is the size of the map.  You can determine the power of the PSU in opening the case and by reading the label on.  You can determine the size of the required map by taking measures in the space provided.  Open the case.  Measure from the edge of the case to the opposite side of the motherboard where the PCI Express slot.  It's the approximate card that fits.  In addition, many new cards are double profile (two locations).  These can present problems of space.  Thirdly, it must ensure that the power supply has the connectors appropriate for the video card.  Some require more power.  In this case, you probably need the power supply.  It costs somewhere around $100.

  If you like help to choose which card you would work, let us know.  With the power of the PSU, we can make that determination.

  the short answer is no. Only laptops with a removable graphics card can be improved, and your system is is not these slot machines.

• Can I update the graphics card in my iMac end 2012?

  I am able to update the graphics card in my iMac end 2012? I know that this is not a gaming computer, but I want to be able to play low end games. Is this possible?

  # You don't have a 'card' in this model. Starting with 2012 models graphics hardware was inseparable and soldered to the logic board. Looks like this:

• Satellite A100-207: is it possible to update the graphics card for games

  Hello

  I am looking to buy the laptop Toshiba A100-207 and it comes with 128 MB shared graphics.

  I would like to play games and I was wondering if I could update the graphics (for example, a nvidia card I could buy and put in) or the fixed graphics?

  I just want to know if I am able to upgrade?

  Thank you

  Hello

  In my opinion the graphics card or processor is not welded on the new generation of mobile phones. The parts must be simply plugged into the card.
  But this does not change the status of the upgrade.
  Eventually, you will be able to remove the graphics card but I m sure that you will have problems of compatibility with other hardware.

  Fastest graphics card produces more heat and the temperature will automatically increase to a higher level. This would lead to overheating in the question and the laptop would be either closed or not starts.
  PC desktop technology is simply different as on laptops. You can also compare different graphics cards. Laptop factory uses only graphics card chips what don t supports a clean cooling module.

  It simply says s not possible to update the graphics card.

  Hello

  Usually it of not possible to update the graphics card. You can't compare the laptop and desktop pc technology. The graphics card on the laptop is a small chip that attaches to the motherboard.

  Hi George

  It of certainly not possible to update the graphics card. The technology of the laptop is a little different and you should not compare it with the current desktop PC.

• Equium A60: Is it possible to update the graphics card?

  Because the graphics card in the A60 Equium is not very good and I was wondering if I could get a different graphics card and plug it into the back and used instead.

  If someone could tell me if I can I would be very grateful

  Hello

  No, it s not possible to update the graphics card to another.
  As you certainly know, the laptop technology is not the same as the desktop PC simply. It s the motherboard technology all just different. You know that heat is a bigger problem for every laptop and generally of designer, developer and manufacturing. In addition, the various interfaces are not equal.

  For example: what do you think, why Intel doesn't produce chips with speeds of 10 GHz, 100GHz, or 1000GHz. Because of the heat.

  I think that the graphics card performance will produce more heat, and this could lead to overheating problems.
  The other graphics card needs another module of cooling and the cooling module must be compatible with the motherboard. Everything needs to be changed (the case design, interfaces, etc.) before the upgrade might be possible. In my view it is simply not possible at the moment.

• Is it possible to update the graphics card in the Satellite A200-195

  Is it posible to upgrade this card for me to play the game of MSTS?

  Usually it of not possible to update the graphics cards installed in notebooks!
  Laptop technology is simply different!
  The graphics card is attached to the motherboard and it of not possible to remove it in a simple way.

  I have always recommended to use the computer to play the game!
  If you need the computer for hardcore games you should buy a desktop computer.
  Why? Because the latest games need for most fastest graphics card and the desktop PC can be upgraded much easily as a laptop.

  But finally it of your choice what you use ;)

  Hi, lawless,

  Looks like it's not. (HMM) hardware maintenance manual says about p.82 the microprocessor and the GPU is soldered to the system board. It is in the section on replacing the system board.

  If you give a code anything you try to doa or who need to, here another user may be able to tell if the chart Nviidia or Intel is capable of this.

• I have a Compact PC of CQ5210F and I was wondering if I could update the graphics card

  I have a Compact PC of CQ5210F and I was wondering if I could update the graphics card

  Here are the specs of your computer CQ5210F. Based on these specifications, you can install a PCIe x 16 graphics. Also, unless your replacement card does not require more than one power supply 250 watt system, you will need to upgrade your diet as well.

  Robert, here is a link to the "Product information" pages for your computer:

  http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/prodinfoCategory?LC=en&DLC=en&cc=us&lang=en&product=3740326

  These pages will give you all the specifications of your computer.

  Yes, you can upgrade your video card.  First, you want to make sure that there is enough room for one of the new cards to fit.  You can find this information on the manufacturer's website.  I would say we could use until a 9800GT.  I think the cards are 9 "up to 10.5".  I like XFX, BFG or EVGA cards.  They are geared toward players and are of high quality.  My favorite is XFX.

  Now for your power supply power supply unit (PSU).  It can also be upgraded.  the key is to open the case and measure the existing unit.  To ensure that new fits, it should be very close to the same size.  Most ATX units are pretty close to the same size.  I recommend at least a 600W unit.  This is what I have in my game rig:

  http://www.Newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=N82E16817341001

  Again, OCZ is a company that is geared to the players and fans.  They have very reliable products.  I have one in their PSU and memory.

  One last thought, a new video card will generate more heat.  Thus, some cables will be very useful.  Simply run all cables so that they do not restrict the airflow to all components.

  I hope this helps.

• I have a Pavilion dv6 laptop and I want to upgrade the graphics card

  I'm the product: HP Pavilion dv6t - b 6, 00 CTO Quad Edition Entertainment Notebook PC

  Product number: QJ912AV #ABA

  Operating system: Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit)

  Graphics factory-installed: Radeon HD 6490 m + Intel(r) HD Graphics Family (but I spend the Intel 3000 drivers)

  My graphics were problems since I got my laptop and I didn't realize what a few months after when I did a check on why my graphics running on low FPS. I called customer service and they could not solved the problem, so I started to do the research and updating my drivers for each of them and switching them too. I have finally fixed them and instead to run Minecraft on 22 FPS, I was there at more than 60 FPS.

  Now, this graphics card is good and all, but there are not adapted to the new games (and I've had this laptop 1 year). What don't get me, is why HP installs some old graphics chips in a new laptop. in any case, I want to see what I can put in the new card. I really want to install and Nvidia 650 m, but I don't know because I don't have any information on my motherboard and it is manufactured by HP. Why I want to improve it is because that 1.) This chip sucks and can't play the games of 2005 and more than 2). He cannot run newer games like I'm a player PC of BF3. I get a strong brand of 28 FPS on BF3-ultimate low quality on this game, he reached sometimes 30 but not much. I want this thing to run as good as my game desktop computer that is custom built, so I really want to know what works with this laptop.

  Please help me to know what works so I'll be better satisfied with HP products.

  Read this document. This has been implemented by one of the community experts (erico).

  The answer is usually going to be no upgrade that has been done on the graphics card as this is usually soldered to the motherboard and designed to work with specific chipsets. The fact that this example uses the switchable graphics actually still less likely. I'm sorry.

  PC hardware is changing at a rapid pace, so you get a day probably will be obsolete in a few months if not sooner. I personally ordered a laptop and there was already a new model of the series which has a better processor and graphics card to this topic. Alas, I was outside the return period and could not take advantage of the new model.

  This largely depends on the software used, but cell phones are not usually able to achieve the same performance as a desktop game PC. My laptop performs as well as my office during playback of half-life 2, but there is a big difference when I play Crysis. The experience will depend on how the program is written and how the game engine is optimized. It varies from game to game.

• Looking to update the graphics card in my Dell XPS 8900 EVGA GeForce GTX 960.

  I have a Dell XPS 8900 Special Edition that I bought a few months ago. I want to upgrade the OEM GeForce 745 of GTX that it came with an EVGA GTX 960.

  I have the Dell XPS 8900 (processor i7 - 6700 k), 32 GB of memory, 2 TB HDD + SSD of 32 GB m2, monitor cache Dell UP2516D and Windows 10 Pro. I'll add a second monitor Dell UP2516D soon and later add an SSD and move the OS and applications on.

  My needs are not at stake. I mainly business applications (MS-Office, including access and project), finance and investment, and a lot of photo and video editing.  Photo editing software uses the GPU if I update.

  EVGA has suggested either of the following, based on what would be good:

  http://www.EVGA.com/products/product.aspx?PN=04G-P4-1961-KR

  http://www.EVGA.com/products/product.aspx?PN=04G-P4-3963-KR

  These cards are almost identical except;

  #1 is long of 6.8 ", has 1 BIOS, 1 fan and use 128 watts for $160

  #2 is 10.1 "long, has 2 BIOS, 2 fans and consume 160 watts for $170

  I thought I would replace the graphics card myself, but once I opened the folder, I was wondering if the two cards will even fit.  I saw that other people have swapped their graphics card, so it must be possible.

  When I look in my case, the existing graphics card is a single location.  These two cards are double slot.  In addition, it seems that there are a few transistors just next to the existing card.  When you install a card double slot, the new map is just overlap the transistors under?

  Finally, in view of these two cards and the XPS 8900 case, is it possible to put the card in?  Is it worth the extra $ 10 earn an extra BIOS and fan, to the detriment of one more card of time and 12 watts?

  Any help or thoughts are greatly appreciated, thank you.

  Dual cards fit without any problem. Many have improved their 8900 XPS and 8700 with cards that need two slots of width.

  I prefer the models dual fan as they run cooler. They have a bigger heat sink and with relatively low heat from GTX 960, some are silent at idle because the fans do not work.

  For example, MSI GTX 970 son fan only above a certain temp that only happens every game. Maybe the EVGA card did the same thing. It is nice to have a quiet system at idle.

  Regarding the adjustment, the MSI GTX 970 games 4 G card Dimensions are (mm) 140 x 277 x 35. Length and height are tight but it fits without cutting.

  In addition, as noted speedstep you run SATA cables under the card. I replaced the SATA cables with longer cables, so they route toward the front of the box, then under the graphics card and upward.

  This thread has many cards different people have added. (the link is on page 26) and about the halfway point is my son with the MSI GTX 970 system, which (I think) is slightly larger that the EVGA 960 you listed.  It also shows the case mod to add a front fan.

• Qosmio E10: Is it possible to update the graphics card?

  Hello

  I have a question about a Qosimio E10. Is it possible to improve the graphics adapter to most recent. (Now: Geforce FX 5200 64 MB GB) Because the one I use now is ot of date and I don't want to buy a new laptop just because of a graphics card!

  Thanks for your help

  Hello

  No, it is not possible because the graphics card is a little tiny chip that has been set on the motherboard of s. The design of the graphics card is not the same as on the desktop PC.
