Upgrade video card HP touchSmart 600 PC - 1350

My PC is TouchSmart 600 - 1350. It's dedicated video memory is just 64 MB. I want to upgrade to 1 GB. What video card that fit my mainboard I should buy? (I want a cheap one). And how can I upgrade myselt?

Here are the specs for your HP TouchSmart 600-1350 Desktop Computer. Your computer uses Intel integrated graphics and has a MXM 3.0 graphics expansion socket. This is not a standard desktop retail card. You can upgrade your graphics but it is going to be expensive, difficult, and still may not work.

Upgrade video card Touch smart 600

HP touchsmart600-1390 I would like to upgrade the video card. Is this possible/ and do i have to upgrade the power supply as well? The present card is GT 230 Invidia 1GB memory. Thanks!

Hello @Enterprise1,
I understand that you are looking to upgrade the graphics card in your HP TouchSmart 600-1390 Desktop PC and are wondering if you need to upgrade your power supply as well. I do not believe that you will have any issues with your power supply as your current graphics card is a PCIe nVidia GeForce GT 230 1GB (Scorpius) graphics card. According to the HP TouchSmart 600-1390 Desktop PC Product Specifications page you have a 150W (100V-240V) power supply and according to the wikipedia page Mobile PCI Express Module, which illustrates the power requirements of a MXM graphics card your current power supply is more than sufficient to power any MXM graphics card you my purchase.
I hope this help. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

HT3696 is it possible to upgrade video card in mac book?

Hi Folks, I'm a Mac Newbie, I was wondering if there is a way to upgrade video card on Mac Book? I'm trying to add final cut and it tells me my video card won't work with it, appreciate any suggestions. RTD

No, Macbooks like all laptops have the video card integrated with the logic board.

Upgrade video card for compaq S6000CL

How can I upgrade my video card on my compaq S6000CL? I have vista installed (upgrade). I'd like to download the upgraded video card software and not have to replace the whole video card.
Thanks!

Hi pilot3579,
So, in looking at the specifications for your computer (Compaq Presario S6000CL Desktop PC support), it appears you might have to get a video card in order to enhance your graphics. Your computer came with integrated graphics, and though there is one video driver available on your computer, it can only be downloaded with the originally installed Windows XP operating system still in place. I know that's not exactly what you wanted to hear, but that is the situation you are looking at.

Upgrade video card for Late 2005 PowerMac G5

I am looking for an upgrade video card for a Late 2005 PowerMac G5, which has the PCI-Express slots. I need at least 256 MB of VRAM.
Since this computer is a discontinued model, there doesn't seem to be too many options for video cards. I've seen some cards like the NVidia 6600 or 6800, or even ATI's X800, but they appear to be difficult to find.
The one card that is readily available still is the ATI X1900, which looks great, but a little on the pricey side ($349).
I did notice the NVidia 7300 GT, which is more moderately priced ($145), but it only mentions being an upgrade card for the Mac Pro. Will this also work with the PowerMac G5 (Late 2005) model? I would hate to buy this video card and then find out that it won't work.

The only available upgrade card for the Late 2005 G5s is the X1900GT (aka G5 Edition). It's basically on par with the nVidia 7800GT that was available as a BTO option.
You can get the 7800GT and QuadroFX 4500 as replacement parts, but they're exorbitantly priced.
The Mac Pro cards won't work (even though they're also PCI-Express) due to the ROM on the card. It's only setup to work with the Mac Pro's EFI boot system and doesn't have the necessary code to work with the PowerMac's Open Firmware boot system.

So im about to buy a mac pro, I just need help cause im not sure if it's worth paying more for instance, a hi-res screen compared to the stock screen, and will i really miss the .2 ghz and the upgraded video card if I get the 2.0 ghz mbp?

It appears the 15" 2.2 ghz isn't worth spending $400 more for, but you get the 1GB Radeon 6750M that has four times the VRAM than the 15" 2.0Ghz model and about 167% more performance. High settings on all current games with over 50 fps.
If your not into 3D gaming or just light weight, then the 2.0 Ghz (last years performance) will suffice on low-medium settings at about 30 fps.
The 13" is rather poor as it has integrated graphics. 30 fps on only some games.
The high res screen is a excellent choice and the anti-glare is great for viewing just about anywhere.
No messy films to replace at $30-$40 a pop.
A lot of people bring the glossy screens back once they hear about the anti-glare.

Here's my 17"
In my opinion the extra $400 for another 2-3 years of use out of the computer is worth it.
Quad cores are more than enough for most uses for most people for many years, it's just a slow card is going to make the machine feel slow in rendering graphics in the future.

E30 power supply/cables and upgrading video card.

I'm thinking of buying a decent gaming card, but I can't seem to find any power cables inside my system. The video card I'm looking at has a six pin connector on it. Also, just in case I need to upgrade the power supply, is the power supply unit standard ATX?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

welcome to the forum!
the E30 doesn't come with a PCI power connector due to it only being qualified to run the quadro NVS, 400, 600, and 2000/2000D workstation graphics cards.   you would need a different PSU entirely.   due to warranty and support reasons we can't recommend aftermarket PSUs in this system.
besides, depending on the GPU you're considering, the E30 might not have sufficient airflow to support it.   these are workstations after all and not gaming systems.
similar advice was given to another E30 owner in this thread.   i'm not sure what makes the E30 such a compelling gaming platform but to each their own.

Upgrade Video Card for HP Pavilion a6228x Desktop PC

I'm wanting to upgrade the video card and was wondering if there were any suggestions as to a good card for under $60. I just need something equivalient to "NVIDIA GeForce 7800 GT or ATI Radeon X1950 Pro" or better. I just got Star Wars the Old Republic and my factory istalled graphics card is not powerful enough. I'm a bit confused on what type of graphics card my desktop takes. I did read that it has
PCI Two (One available) PCI Express x16 One (One available) PCI Express x1 One (One available)
Would a PCI Express 2.0 fit in one of these?
One of the cards I am considering is:

Any suggestions would be great. Thank you.

Hi,
You might want to google Stars Wars Old Republic system requirements and see what others are suggesting. Game performance is also tied to the game quality settings and monitor resolution that you want to use.
I suggested these upgrades for another user wanting some suggestions.

Time to upgrade video card?????

I have a two year old MacPro 2.66 GHz Dual-Core Intel with 4 GB RAM, 4 internal 7200 rpm 500gb HDs and a NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT (256mb) video card. Would upgrading the video card improve the operation of LR2 relative to the rest of my hardware and if so, what make and model would folks recommend? Thanks in advance-

> That said, how much difference could he really expect when going beyond 4GB? In my experience with

On Windows, unless you do some deliberate messing around, applications receive a maximum of 2GB even
though the 32-bit processor can access 4GB. The remaining 2GB are reserved for the OS, device
drivers, hardware that's mapped into memory, etc. But that 2GB for applications is the maximum size
of *virtual memory*. If you have 2GB of physical RAM, the app will never get that much physical
memory because Windows reserves some for itself and drivers, etc. Because Windows needs some
physical space for itself, it can be a performance improvement to go to 3GB in a machine so that
applications can (potentially) have their entire 2GB address space in physical memory *and* Windows
can put itself in the extra 1GB of physical memory. Going all the way to 4GB of memory doesn't add
much beyond going to 3 because Windows tends not to need more than 1GB for itself.
Going beyond 4GB can make a huge difference depending on what kind of work you're doing. If you're
doing work with large images, it can make a huge difference and it has little to do with the CPU's
computational performance being any better. It's that the CPU can now address much more physical
memory and thus the app doesn't incur any performance hit paging to/from disk.
Hope this is clear - let me know if not.

Sorry for the long copy and paste. I read that I can upgrade the video card and power supply. But atm when I play world of warcraft at ultra settings, I tend to lag really bad in the new instances with the new cat expansion that came out. I wanted to know if I should upgrade the video card and power supply for better performance or just upgrade my whole pc tower. Fyi, I am running a Acer X243w lcd flat panel monitor if that helps too.

My brother has a high end laptop with a built in, high end gaming video card (I forget which one). He's able to run the game on full-on Ultra.
I have an integrated video card which games the game on.. 'cartoon'.. mode. It's lower then low. When someone shoots a powerful spell at me, I go into a DOS Prompt. (not really, but it's pretty bad).
Funny thing is, I can still kick my brother's butt in any PVP match he wants to set up.
But I guess his graphics are pretty....
As for which video card works best, I'd have to do some research. After that graphics update they did with CAT, it's kind of a toss up again.

Do I Need To Upgrade Video Card for ACD 20" for the PowerPC G4

Hello,
I am extremely new to the MAC world so forgive my ignorance. I have a 450Mhz Power PC G4 running a 20gb harddrive. I recently bought the ACD 20" and when I tried to "plug and pray" the display came on for the initial "Apple" screen but when it came time to boot into the OS I got a black screen. I am running OS 10 Tiger and I have AGP graphics. From what I can discern I have a "ATY, Rage 128 Pro".
I read from another posting that the G4s that have the analog and digital video cards need to be upgraded. My question: Is there an upgradable solution for my system and if so what is it? Please say yes!!! LOL
Thanks

Upgrading video card Mac Mini 1.42 GHz Power PC G4????

Hi there......
I was just wondering could anyone give me a hand with upgrading a video card on my Mac MIni......
Would there be chance to replace my existing video card:
Chipset Model: ATY,RV280
Type: Display
Bus: AGP
VRAM (Total): 32 MB
Vendor: ATI (0x1002)
Device ID: 0x5962
Revision ID: 0x0001
ROM Revision: 113-xxxxx-120
Displays:
DELL E173FP:
Resolution: 1280 x 1024 @ 75 Hz
Depth: 32-bit Color
Core Image: Not Supported
Main Display: Yes
Mirror: Off
Online: Yes
Quartz Extreme: Supported
Rotation: Supported.................,,,,,,,,, with a newer one.....
If that is possible, which video card should I get........
Also is VRAM (Total): 32 MB same as DDR memory 32 MB , because I checked some stuff on E-bay and they got:
ATI 100436011 Radeon 9200 MAC Edition PCI
(mfr. number: 100-436011) DDR 128 MB.....,,, but I'm not sure what to use........
Ant help would be appreciated......
Thanks in advance.....

And the reason for this is because the graphics chipset is integrated into the mainboard and cannot be separated from it. The same applies with video memory. If you're looking for a heavy-duty gaming machine, head on up to the iMac or the new Mac Pro, because even the new Intel Mini has integrated graphics.

HP 6654 upgrade video card/power supply

I am interested in upgrading my video card from a current ATI Radeon HD 4200 to a "EVGA GeForce GTX 960 SuperSC ACX 2.0+ 2GB GDDR5 128bit, PCI-E 3.0 Dual-Link DVI-I, 3 x DP, HDMI, SLI, HDCP, G-SYNC Ready Graphics Cards 02G-P4-2966-KR". Will this graphics card fit for my cpu and work correctly with the motherboard?
I will be adding 4additional giggabites to increase the total instaled memory (RAM) to 8GB as well.
And in addition, i will purchase a 400 watt power supply.
Will this work for my current Pavilion 6654?
Thanks!

You are very welcome! Thank you for the additional information.
As I suspected, your computer has a standard BIOS. This means that you will have to buy an older video card. I like EVGA products. I suggest finding a card that you like and contacting the manufacturer's Tech Support (EVGA Tech Support 1-888-880-3842) to make certain that it will work in your computer. This is the best way that I have found to not have to make a return. The last card that EVGA made that used a standard BIOS was their GT 640. Some of theirs do have an update for the VBIOS that allows them to run with a standard BIOS.
Now, for the power supply unit (PSU). I like Corsair products. I normally recommend at least 500W. This allows for future upgrades. A modular PSU is good for smaller cases. You only have to use the cables that are necessary, allowing for better airflow. You should measure the existing PSU and compare the measurements to the one that you choose. All of the connectors should be compatible.

Upgrade Video Card MDD DP 1.25

I have the stock video card (64 mb Radeon 9000 Pro) on this machine along wiht 1.5 gb RAM. I have the original 22" Cinema Display. To use X-Plane, Call of Duty, Motion, etc., I'd like a better video card. I was also thinking about adding one or two monitors to my current setup. The Radeon 256 mb 9600 and 9800 cards seem like good upgrades. Anyone have any experience with a similar setup? Any recommendations? Thanks, all.

Really, with your setup, you really only have one option, the OEM 9700 Pro.
Big bonus is it had ADC connector, only G4 card with Core Image and ADC.
A 9800 is at most 5-10% faster, even with 256 Megs of VRAM.
If you decide to accept the need to buy a DVI to ADC adapter ($90 or so) than your options increase, but so does the price.
Some official Apple centers have them, but still at their retail price of $400+
Better to look on Ebay where a few have sold for less than $200. But it MUST be the REAL< OEM Mac 9700, not a flashed one. Most OEM Mac boards are green, whereas PC ones are Red.
The flashed PC ones have DVI & VGA, a far inferior version to the MDD OEM 9700 with ADC & DVI.

Upgrade video card/monitor

What is the maximum upgrade that I can do on my video card and maximum Cinema display I can use on this system?

The 9800 only has single-link DVI, so will not run a 30" display at full resolution. The only G4 board that has dual-link for a 30" display is the ATI Radeon® 9600 Pro PC & MAC Edition RoHS 256MB AGP
<http://shop.ati.com/product.asp?sku=3170809> This only works reliably in MDD and FireWire 800 G4s, though. It might work in some other G4s, but often won't.
