  As you can see, Cpu and Gpu upgrade is not a good idea. Even if your motherboard can handle it but the Bios is not pre-tested for her. In any case, you must contact the Asp (SAV), they can tell exactly whether it is supported or not.

• HP Probook 4510 s gpu upgrade

  Hello

  I am in possession of a 4510 s HP's Probook and I was wondering if I can get a gpu upgrade. His original CPU will also be upgraded to a t5870 a t9600.

  But I can't find anywhere the list allowing GPU to my laptop. Is it possible to find a better GPU than the 4330 current?

  Or I'm stuck with this one... some users of cell phones, that I heard that they have improved their GPU easly and they discovered all the upgrades that are supported by their laptops to service customer or something like that.

  I wonderd if someone could point me in the right direction or to show me a list of compatibility of the GPU of my 4510 Probook s

  Hello:

  The only way to update the video in most HP laptops is completely replace the motherboard by a listed in the service manual that might come with better graphics.

  Normally such a business is not worth the time or expense.

  The GPU is discrete or UMA, they both are soldered to the motherboard and cannot be removed or replaced.

• My HP Desktop GPU upgrade

  Hello.

  I'm wanting to run more graphically intensive games and want to upgrade this HP desktop computer to deal with it, until I have more money to build a custom system. My my PC model number is NY464AAR. I created a post on TomsHardware and someone who knew a good amount on HP desktop computers sent me here (link to post Forum - http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-2244842/desktop-gpu-upgraded.html#13867620)

  He said that only a selection bit GPU compatible with HP, and they like to "minimize" the overall scalability of their systems to make more money.

  What GPU should I use in this system? My price range is $ $100 - $200 Canadian Dollars. I'll also put the low power supply 300w to 500w power to accomidate the GPU (if possible)

  I was watching the 7870 AMD to supply all my gaming needs. If it is not compatible, what are? (and giving around the same performance for the money).

  Is there any best GPU to play games like Arma 2 and Dayz for the same price/preformance ratio?  I don't really like what are the graphics settings, like, anything is better than what I played in with the Geforce 9100 integrated on the motherboard. My only real hope is to play 1440 x 900 and maybe 1080 p when (if) I update my monitor. But well, it'll do for now.

  Thank you very much

• Alienware 17 R5 gpu upgrade

  Hello guys...

  I have a Radeon HD 8970 M in my Alienware 17 R5 and I think to upgrade my GPU.

  What choices do I have?

  Since I have a Radeon, is it possible to update for Nvidia?

  I ask because of the Optimus feature. I don't know if its something of the graphics card only or if this function has anything attatched to the motherboard.

  Thank you much in advance.

  Rafael

  Optimus is a feature that is installed with the driver of the GPU, so no need to worry about this.

  You can plug and play any series of NVidia GPU ' 7' and any '8' or 'R9 2XXM' AMD GPU.

  If you want something more recent you will need to do some light pilot mods to install.

  I'll give you the short version.

  Alienware only NVidia and AMD license with the serial numbers for the GPU, they were issued with.

  For example, you have a R1 AW17 - they were issued with '7' series nvidia and AMD series '8 '.

  Alienware gave device NVidia and AMD, and machine ID's for the GPU only - NO OTHER MODELS - so when you say a GTX980 in your laptop and try to install the driver it will come back as "no device found".

  This is because Alienware refuses to release or authorize the new device ID of NVidia and AMD, so they don't understand them to their drivers, so you get the message "No hardware found" during the installation of the driver.

  What you have to do is insert your machine what ID hardware in the driver that you downloaded, stop "driver signature enforcement" and you can install any GPU that you like, even the newest.

  Sounds complicated but it does not, after your have done 2 or 3 times it will take less than a minute

• XPS 8300 GPU Upgrade

  Hello

  I bought my XPS 8300 in 2011. He's been good for me over the years, but now I find that I could use a GPU upgrade. It handles most of the games, but barely meets the minimum. I'm still running Windows 7, but plan on spending at 10 at the end of the year. It has the stock power 460W Dell I have probably as well to replace it. I want the best move that will run on this system and fit in the case. It has the following specifications:
  CPU [email protected]
  16 GB of RAM
  GPU AMD HD 6700

  Thank you.

  As a reminder, Dell will not validate Windows 8/8.1/10 on this model. So, you will need to look elsewhere for drivers.

  Information on the cliff:

  GTX 960 - good without a new power supply

  GTX 970 - many debates on a PSU update if it is required or not. Just update.

  GTX 980 - fits in some cases cut and an upgrade of the PSU, but gets hot. consider a case upgrade.

  980ti GTX - even as the reason 980 and more for a new case that breathes better.

  I would avoid the high-end AMD cards in the case of stocks due to heat issues.

  And, you can easily sell your 750ti on eBay.

• Alienware CPU & GPU Upgrade

  The CPU is also extensible on Alienware (mid-2013) 17 (ADMIN NOTE: maintain the label removed by privacy policy >)? (He has a graphics processor Nvidia 860 m 2 GB and an Intel i7-4710mq).

  Also if, for example, I get the 880 m (I know that other messages on this computer, it is checked for this model. Not the series of 900 m, unfortunately. :/ ) I should do it myself, or dell offers a service to upgrade components? I would rather not mess up my computer if I can get a 880 m.

  So, basically, should what options I have for cpu and gpu upgrades and how to approach it?

  If I can still buy these things, where would I go? Dell just email sales support on this?

• M18x R2 CPU/GPU upgrade help

  Lately I experienced an annoying problem.  I go to play a game like age of empires III, which shouldn't be a problem, but after a few minutes, the screen goes black and the only way to make it work is to reboot by pressing the power button.  My M18xx R2 has had some problems before, so I recently replaced the discs and did a clean installation of Windows 7 Pro.   I thought that might be the GPU?

  I ran stress tests on the CPU and the GPU via Support help and all this goes well.

  My processor is a Core i7 3740QM and I have 2 gtx 675M popular with sli.

  1 can I upgrade to GTX 680 M without worrying about updated drivers using the or overheating?  Meaning is it plug and play?

  2. What CPU can I upgrade to that would be taken and play. I do not overclock.  I thought Intel i7 3840QM.

  Thank you

  Here's the Alienware-tested (read: plug-and-play) GPU upgrades for the m18xR2.

  • HD 7970 m
  • GTX 680 m

  Something more recent requires some work.

  I would not upgrade your CPU if you don't plan on overclocking. The i7-3840QM is a good enough in itself.

• GPU upgrade 2 GB Evga GTX 550 Ti suggestions?

  I am looking to upgrade to a 970 GTX Gigabyte G1 Gaming or an EVGA if I'm looking at other brands as well.

  Budget around $350.00 USD.

  I'm still doing research and research with options open but I'm really more leaning to the Nvidia 970.

  My CPU is limiting the PCI-E x 16 running at 2.0 speeds, but even with that, I think that the 970 would be

  the best choice in the GPU upgrade.  Thoughts or alternatives?  You want something that works long term and not just

  buy something cheap, until the next thing comes.

  I'm NOT a gamer I mainly webdesign so a lot of image, video and audio editing. I'm more a combination

  between an advertising marketing exec and a web developer with programming in PHP, JavaScript and all back-end

  stuff with databases and also web video and audio stuff etc... I just combine it all in the title of Web Designer for the conversation

  who actually confuses real webdesigners because I build a LOT more than just html and css pages.

  It is a type of prosumer system where it is used for work and entertainment. Watching movies and streaming video

  This works well on the current computer and I actually don't really need more of an upgrade beyond the GPU as this computer

  It meets my needs and has 2 years.  I expect to keep for a few years, I have built computers that will last

  me 3 to 5 years, will eventually build a new, but for now everything works great.

  I honestly don't care about having the biggest and best just something that will work for more than a year or two and meet my needs.

  But it seems that the GPU tech is going through a revolution where the old technology begins to be depreciated and will not be taken in charge a large part

  in the future I am looking to get a new video card might as well go with the new stuff now so it will be supported in the long term

  everyone at some point.

  I'm just confused by models and manufacturers or resellers who slap their label on Nvidia technology.  Who is the best with little no.

  problems.  EVGA seems to be popular, it's my current card brand, but I like the Gigabyte G1 with additional display ports and

  possibility of having 4 monitors at the same time IF it can be inserted into my system, it's HUGE.

  -------------------------

  Hardware specifications:

  PSU: VisionTek 800W < == will be upgrade to a 750 or 850-Watt Seasonic, Antec or Evga also.

  Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-H61M-S2PV ver 2.0

  CPU: Intel CPU i7-2600 @ 3.40 GHz Stock using stock intel cooler fan

  HD: 3 x - 1 to disk WD Blue and two black discs

  Memory: 16 GB Ram 2 x - 8 GB memory-crucial

  The blue drive is the system drive to the approximately 700 GB of the disk format and divided in two with

  Windows 7 64 bit Pro and 8.1 of Windows in dual boot.  No SSD not because of the MOBO only being 3 GB and not 6.

  It was custom built by a store of the local computer that is off from where go out of business.

  The upgrade of processor or motherboard is NOT an option that some purchased software is old school licensed

  with attached directly to the CPU and the MOBO that cost more than the entire computer to buy

  licenses (not associated with Adobe Professional software).  In addition the upgrade MOBO or CPU, you are required to

  Microsoft to buy a new license for windows and windows 7 can probably just reactivated windows 8 can not.

  This motherboard is a motherboard micro, I didn't know that until recently. I did not build the computer myself.

  I had no idea of what food was until a few days ago, but everything worked 100% for about 2 years.

  I'll have to update the bios of the motherboard before actually being able to use the new video card, but others have the same model

  and it seems to work as well... I have a request to Gigabyte but just to check before actually buying.

  Remember though it is a Ti 550 video card I currently have and almost any update would see great improvement.

  Physical size wise how much greater is the 970 compared to 550 it 2 GB Evga gtx?   I add 2 GB because it

  are other 550 which are totally different aspect that my card.

  Also if you have any suggestions for the PSU that would be much too.   So far Seasonic, Antec and EVGA are brands that seem to

  forthcoming models much earlier.  Not sure about the rating as some out Bronze models perform other models gold or Platinum so...

  Budget about $150.00 USD for a new power supply too.

  Thanks for reading this and for any suggestion, sorry that I can't upgrade mobo or cpu to be able to run amok with ideas, it is some what may be limiting.

  Essentially, it's the GPU and PSU will extend my current level of use of a few years and the GPU has better performance even with

  the other tech and bottlenecks in this particular system.

  Like Bob of the Peru said. The money you would have spent on a GTX 970 would have been much larger than any improvement in performance that you could achieve (on a systemic basis, not only a specific component). In fact, the cost of a single GTX 970 would have been almost as much money as the rest of your entire system combined - and yet, the upgrade provides more than an improvement of 5 to 10 percent in terms of total return.

  Very recently, I upgraded an i7 - 3770K and Z77 to an i7 - 4790K and Z97. Mainly because I wanted to spend my project/player and cache drive to SSD (s) in the not too distant future. (The Z77 supports two SATA 6.0 Gbps ports and 4 SATA ports 3.0 Gbps in native mode, which is the impetus for this upgrade). But in order to take account of the upgrade of the CPU, I had to get off my GPU slightly to a 660 GTX for a GTX 750 Ti (for my particular workflow, GTX 750 it performed almost as well as the GPU high-end in terms of overall performance of the system).

  That said, there are reasons to move a GPU for a GPU to budget (or even ultra-low-budget, for that matter) to a 'Warrior' or the 'monster' GPU. But improving rendering performance on such a limited as LGA 1155 Sandy Bridge platform is not one of them. And a GPU upgrade is valid IMHO only if the rest of the construction of PC is to speed - with a much higher total system start-up costs.

  Moreover, a single 1 TB WD black or blue (versions WD10EZEX and WD1003FZEX, respectively) may not achieve the best 180 - ish MB/sec - and it's on the outside tracks of his tray. A HDD WD four-year-old (Blue WD10EALS or Black WD1002FAEX) at 7200 RPM have barely hit 125 MB/s on the outside rails. As such, with disks one alone, I agree with the other responses: remember to save it upward to an i7-4790 a W97 chipsets motherboard instead of lose a single penny on this generation i7-2600/H61 (your current system, by the way, is completely maxed out on RAM to only 16 GB total - and you can not pass the RAM any more far away).

  In other words, your current PC is, indeed, obsolete (as in "cancelled" or 'is there something better now in this category', not ' is no longer useful or usable").

• Where can I find a standalone installation package, and not the current upgrade stub?

  My home connection is dial-up and to download an 'upgrade' of 40 MB solution would take about 2 hours. I use a public computer with free broadband to download the installation packages of all the software that I use. I can record these packets to a flash drive to take home to work on my computer. The solution of "upgade" Mozilla trying to upgrade the public computer. I don't get a portable installation package. Of course, it serves me.

  Also, if I have a standalone installation package, I can keep it incase I need to re - install, or if I want to share Firefox with someone else.

  Please send me a link to a standalone, portable installation package I can download.

  Thank you in advance.

  Not until Mozilla gets started the 3.6.x to 4.0 notification 'upgrade', which will probably not happen for another 2 to 4 weeks based on how they handled this type of 'upgrade' in the past.

  installed on my laptop but that include photos, video and music and send the parameters I use outlook 2003.

  Thank you

  Hello

  Depends on which edition of Vista you use on Windows 7 edition, you can switch to.

  And as you use 32-bit, you can only switch to Windows 7 32 bit.

  32-bit to 64-bit should be done with a clean install.

  Before purchasing Windows 7, follow these steps:

  Go to your computer / computer laptop manufacturer Web site and see if Windows 7 drivers are available for your make and model computer / laptop.

  If this is not available, Windows 7 will not properly work for you.

  Run the "Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor.

  I bought Windows Vista Home Premium and got a free upgrade to Windows 7, which I have installed on Computer1.  Can I install Vista on a second computer computer2 and still be legal?

  Is same question with versions of Microsoft office, if I have multiple versions allowed to install an earlier version on a second computer and stay legal?

  No, unfortunately not, when you upgraded to Windows 7 indeed renounce you your right to use Vista. But keep the product key and Vista media where you need to perform a clean installation of Windows 7 again.

  For MS Office (according to license as some allow multiple installations) If this older version is not in use you can install it on this computer second no questioned asked.
