Problem with upgrading Graphics Card from GTX 635 to GTX 960

Greetings,
I'm new to upgrading hardware in computers but have decided that I wanted to upgrade my graphics card in my HP Envy 700 - 329 (Nvidia GTX 635) to an Nvidia GTX 635. The only problem is I have never opened a computer and have no idea what cable to put where or how to take my old Graphics Card out to put my new one in, and I'm very worried because I might mess up.  Is there any video tutorial/ guide out there that is convinient to my desktop for me to upgrade?
Thanks,
Marwan
P.S. Is the space in the Envy 700-329 large enough for the GTX 960?

Hi there 
Welcome to the HP Support Forums! It is a great place to find the help you need, both from other users, HP experts and other support personnel. I understand that you are looking at upgrading your internal video adapter from a Nvidia GTX 635 to a Nvidia GTX 690. I am happy to help with this. FIrst thing, you must be aware of before you buy any video adapter upgrade, is the power requirements of the card, the recommended minimum output for the computer's power supply,  the size of the card, the required expansion slot type, and the type of power connectors that must be available for the card from your system power supply. Starting with a comparison of the card you have with the one you are thinking to install:GeForce GT 635 (OEM) Specifications - www.geforce.comBus Support - PCI-E 3.0 Height 2.731 inchesLength 5.70 inchesslotWidth SingleMaximum Graphics Card Power (W)  35W GeForce GTX 690 Specifications - www.geforce.comBus Support - PCI Express 3.0Height 4.776 inchesLength 11.0 inchesslotWidth Dual-slotMaximum Graphics Card Power (W)               300WMinimum System Power Requirement (W) 650WSupplementary Power Connectors                Two 8-pin Your computer has the following:
Power Supply Internal Total wattage: 460W  - too lowDimensions: 150mm x 140mm x 86mm (5.9 x 5.5 x 3.4 inches) I have highlighted the items you will need to be aware of in red, before trying to install this card. Because the stock power supply is 460W, it will also need to be replaced, because the card requires that your power supply meet a minimum output of 650W, and that power supply needs to also have two 8-pin supplementary power connectors. I included the dimensions of your current power supply so you have a guide to the type of space you have and form of the power supply to help with finding something that will fit in that space. Also I highlighted the fact that the card you are looking at is significantly larger in all dimensions, so you can make sure it will fit inside the case or have an idea of what cabling may need to be moved, and because it is a dual-slot width, it may block another slot on your main board. Because of all of these issues you may want to consider talking to a local computer tech or a tech savvy friend to help you with this, and maybe save some money as well. I did not include the instructions on how to replace the card itself, because of the other issues, which you will need to check on first. I hope this helps, or does not confuse the matter more, but reading your post I realized you were probably not aware of these little roadblocks.

  • Problem with discrete graphic card and DirectX 11

    If I try any application to launch with discrete graphic card (nvidia geforce 740m) that using directx 11 it always crashes.
    There no problems with directx 9 on on this graphic card.
    There are no problems with integrated graphic card whether application using directx 9 or 11. Problem occurs only with discrete graphic card and directx 11.
    The things that i did:
    - Reinstall Windows
    - Install latest driver updates (I also tried to uninstall latest and install recomended driver downloaded from the oficial HP support 'driver download' web page)
    - different options on nvidia control panel 3d settings page
    I also tried microsoft 'Direct3D Tutorial Win32 Sample' source code to build and debug. It is failed in function IDXGISwapChain:resent with code DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED and ID3D10Device::GetDeviceRemovedReason returns DXGI_ERROR_DRIVER INTERNAL_ERROR.
    Is there any chance that is not hardware malfunction?

    @Enegue ,
    Hello and thank you for posting on the HP support forum.  In your situation I would consider keeping with Directx 9.  The reason I say this is your notebook is not a performance gaming machine.  It is designed to be fore general use.
    Some cards will notice issues when upgrading to direct 11 from a lower level.  
    Not to mention with your notebook you will want to stick with the drivers only provided from the HP support site.  They are proprietary for the notebook and could be the reason why the directx 11 is not working.
    Here is the link to your systems supported drivers.

  • Problem with nvidia graphic card, nvlddmkm.s​ys

    I have a HP m9000 , originally it had Vista, it started to fail and display the error nvlddmkm.sys (on a blue screen od death), i intalled Windows 8 in hope the problem get resolve. but the problem still persist. At the beginning on W8 it looks like working fine, but suddenly it started to display "controller not responding", and then it is displayin "Something goes wrong with your graphic card".
    I found on internet a fix; expanding the nvlddmkm.sy_ and replace the file in system32. i made it but right now after the windows logon screen the monitor starts to blink between black screen and off screen.
    The grapghic card is a NVIDIA 8500 GT. I tested the graphic card in other computer, and at the begining it worked fine, but after the dirver installation it started to fail in the same way.
    Ad far i could read on intetrnet it is a failure with NVIDIA.
    Is there any solution for this problem? Or i should change the graphic video card? (Maybe for an ATI)

    Hi,
    I have used many different NVIDIA cards (including a 8600) on different PCs and never had your issue.
    As for drivers, you can always use the original drivers that came with your PC and then do an update if necessary.

  • !!! Problem with 2nd graphic card !!!

    Hi I have a big problem with my laptop.
    I have an HP TouchSmart tm2-2000el Notebook, with Windows 7 64-bit.
    2nd Graphic card is ATI RADEON HD Series 5450.
    When I activate this hardware from Control Panel desktop goes black but every function are ok (sounds, illumination and all cmds).
    So I must restart my computer in Safe Mode disactivate ATI Radeon HD 5450 and restart it.
    Laptop run but only with Intel graphic card.
    I tried to search update drivers on Amd/ATI site: amd online software reveals Ati radeon HD 5000 Series but after download Ati software tell me that is impossible to install drivers because there isn't an ATI Radeon HD 5000 Series.
    So I have low graphics and CPU with 69°C because intel graphic card runs over...
    I haven't found any driver for my model of laptop on HP Assistance.
    Touchsmart spec
    How can I do now?
    Thanks
    Alberto

    This is the right driver for switchable graphics...do not also install the Intel only driver, you do not need both.

  • HP Envy Desktop h8-1414 PC, problem with replacing graphics card

    Hi,
    I have a new HP Envy Desktop h8-1414 PC.  I successfully replaced the power supply with a 400 watt one.
    I purchased a Sapphire Radeon HD 7750 1GB DDR5 HDMI / DVI-I / DP PCI-Express Graphics Card 11202-00-20G and installed it.  However, when I turn the PC on again, the monitor does not receive a signal.
    Any suggestions?  Do I need to plug the power supply into the 4 pronged connection in between the graphics card slot and the cpu?

    This unfortunately did not work for me. In the end of hours and hours of "support" for both HP & Microsoft all I had was a slow computer that I can't upgrade. The system cant run any of the graphics intense programs I use on a day to day basis. In the end I returned it for an Asus with an i7 processor, Windows 7 and a fully upgradable graphics card. 
    Been happy ever since.

  • 2009 Mac Pro upgrading graphics card to GTX 680 mac. What is the best version of AE and PP and OSX to have?

    Hello,
    I have a 2009 Mac Pro 4.1
    Mac OSX version 10.6.8
    Processor - 2 x 2.26 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon
    Memory - 24GB
    Graphics Card - ATI Radeon HD 4870
    I use After Effects and Premiere Pro daily for my work. I am not too technically minded. I want to update and improve my machine as much as possible and am thinking of buying an SSD drive to replace my current start up disk. I also am thinking about getting the GTX 680 mac version graphics card. I have read many online discussions regarding OpenCL and CUDA, many discussions with mixed feelings about the improvements the 680 gives an older Mac Pro - some people say it is amazing others say the improvements seem minimal or worse.
    What I want to know is if I purchase the SSD and 680 graphics card what is the optimal OSX - 10.8 or 10.9? and what is the optimal versions of AE and PP to have - CS6 or CC? Also what settings and what additional drivers would I need to consider?
    I contacted an independent authorised mac reseller and he thought it was a bad idea to put a new graphics card and get the latest OSX in an old machine and tried to sell me a used 2010 Mac Pro, but I think it would be more cost effective to get the SSD and 680 instead, it's just I read the occasional horror story on a forum and I worry about making the wrong choice, I rely on my Mac Pro to make a living!
    Thanks in advance

    Thank you for the valuable information Eric, I think I will go with the 680 but I understand that it wont be fully utilised on my old Mac Pro.
    Perhaps I will replace my startup/applications hard drive with a 480GB SSD. My other 3 bays are full with 3 x 2TB Hard drives that have media on them so I have no spare room for a dedicated SSD drive for AE cache. But could I put a 250GB SSD into one of the PCI-E slots using something like - SSD SuperSpeed Upgrade Kit for Apple Mac Pro 2008 2009 2010 2012 | eBay
    Would this be my best solution? Is it a relatively simple installation, does anyone have any experience of a similar setup?
    cc_merchant, thank you for the reply, I am aware you have to pay monthly payments for CC, that is no problem.

  • Problem with new graphic card Geforce GT 610 installed in HP Pavilion a6710in

    I have recently installed the nVidia GeForce GT 610 graphic card. The problem faced by me is especially during playing games, the screen goes black and PC restarts but it works fine with rest of the things. I have disabled the integrated video card as would be if new video card is installed. The problem is still unclear... so please if anyone can help me out with this...

    The GT 610 requires a minimum of a 300 watt system power supply and your computer came from the factory with a 250 watt power supply. When playing games, it is very possible that the card draws more current than the 250 watt PSU can supply. This would cause the computer to crash, go blank, and/or reboot. Please upgrade the power to at least 300 watts.
    If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

  • VArious problems with intel graphic card

    There is an old regarding part of this subject with no improvement. I have a 943/940GML graphic card. Normally the frame rate should synchronize with vfresh but it does not seems to works well: glxgears is not smooth at all unless you move the mouse on the windows. Running it with
    <option name="vblank_mode" value="0" />
    fix the problem.
    Apart from that I get better performance with the lts 2.6.32 kernel than with 3.0. This is noticeable (I have less CPU time when I let googleearth rotate the earth).
    I had several problems with this driver. I have:
    Option     "DebugWait" "on"  in xorg.conf (otherwise fonts are broken)
    options i915 powersave=0 in modprobe.conf (otherwise the screen blink every minute or so)
    the problem with dri mentioned.
    Moreover each time I upgrade my system, there is one chance out of two that a new regression will appear. What is it with this driver? Why can't the devs secure a stable version? I know I should report bugs upstream but I am tired now. This is a permanent alpha driver.

  • [Solved] Problems after upgrading graphics card

    I just upgraded my 8800GTX to a GTX650. I ran "nvidia-xconfig" initially then "nvidia-settings" to make sure both of my monitors looked good. After rebooting I have Openbox running on only my "main" screen. I can move my mouse to the second screen, but when I do the cursor changes to the default X one and I can't do anything there. I also can't drag windows to my secondary screen.
    I figure it is something to do with twinview not working properly, or some other xorg.conf configuration problem. Here is a link to my xorg.conf: http://pastie.org/private/zo9fikanxumf4haqaya2eg
    Any help would be great.
    EDIT: Solved. In nvidia-settings I needed to set both displays to the same X screen

    In your motherboard manual it describes how to re-set the CMOS. Taking out the battery would work but it's easier to re-set the CMOS via the jumper pins. It also holds info on bios features and settings in the manual so you might want to scan through that and see if there's anything you might change.
    Have you tried the graphics card in another computer? Do you get the same problems?
    Ok - I now found out which jumpers to change - thank you.
    I have tried putting my old graphics card back in but still had the problem.
    On Sunday someone is going to switch ram chips (his are good in his machine) with me and hopefully we'll establish whether or not my physical ram modules are ok.
    Seem very strange to me that both of my modules (one was ok a month ago and the other just arrived from Crucial) fail the same test - memtest #7 - random memory but then I'm only an egg when it comes to this stuff.
    Many thanks for everyone's help !
    Mike
    Well I don't know if it's good news or bad news !?
    Have just tested my system with a known to be good ram module and ?
    My machine failed Memtest #7 - the machine that the 'borrowed' ram came from passes the test.
    So I will reset the bios I guess.

    Hi, thank you for your answers.
    I have updated the last nvdia driver, the new bios and everything I found on this website, but It doesn't change anything...
    Apparently I'm not the only one to have this problem, but I don't know if it comes from Toshiba or from Nvdia.
    Do you know if it's normal to have four times "NVDIA High definition Audio" in the audio/video/games controllers ?
    When I seactivated it it's a litlle bit less worth (but still not good)...
    I'm using a preinstalled windows 7 64 bit version
    Thank you !

  • Serious problems with 2 graphics cards...

    Hi,
    I'm using 4x3GHz MacPro with X1900 (2x30") and GF7300 (23").
    When all 3 monitors are connected I see weird dostortion on the viewer.
    It looks like the whole picture is divided to many rows, each offseted by 2-3 pixels to the left looking from the top of the monitor. It looks awful and of course you can't work.
    When I disconnect one of the monitors everything looks ok... I don't need to remove second card GF7300 from computer...
    It seems having 2 graphic cards is very unfortunate on this computers.
    I get problems with previews on some QuickTime videos, turning deinterlace renders screen black etc... Probably it related also to QT 7.2
    Many troubles... to many as for Apple branded computers...
    regards
    ARTI

    I, too, found out that aperture will NOT WORK with a Mac Pro with two video cards installed.  I called tech support and was advised to remove one of the cards and the program would work.  I tried just removing all but one monitor (I, like you, have three monitors) but the problem still occurred so I removed one of the cards from the machine.  Aperture worked fine then.  I need my three monitors so I put the card back in.  I was told that apple was well aware of this problem with the Mac Pro and would fix it soon.  This incident I am relating occurred about 6 to 8 months ago and still nothing from apple to fix the problem.  I have found out since that there are other Pro applications that will not work with the Mac Pro with multiple cards. Because of this problem, I have not used any of apple's graphic programs for anything and have relied of other programs to do my work. It should be noted that I gave a "one star" rating for this program on the on-line store about 3 weeks ago citing this problem. Apple has not posted it to the on-line store reviews. Now that tells me that they have no intention of fixing this problem.
    I hope that someone out there can come up with a "fix" for this. It's a shame because Apple usually produces superior products.

  • Problem with switchable graphic cards after installing windows 10

    Dear support, after installing windows 10 i lost option to switch my graphic cards. I already have installed new drivers for win10 64-bit. But it doesn't work. New drivers which i downloaded here: http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/desktop?os=Windows+10+-+64 doesn't support my graphic card. So i don't know what to do to get right drivers and be able to switch my graphic cards. Thanks for any help.

    Hi there 
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums! It is a great place to find the help you need, both from other users, HP experts and other support personnel. I understand that you installed Windows 10 and that switchable graphics is not working for you. I am happy to help. Unfortunately this is not something that AMD can help with, as it is a customized driver for your notebook. Did you do the Windows 10 installation as an upgrade and if so which operating system did you upgrade from? The existing HP drivers can be found here: HP Pavilion g6-1004ev Notebook PC but they are for Windows 7 or 8 depending on your choices. You could try those and install it using compatibility mode and see if that works. How to: Install and Update drivers in Windows 10 - answers.microsoft.com Let me know if that works for you.
