Allocating more memory to graphics card on HP Pavilion dv7-6157cl

The graphics card in the laptop is AMD Radeon HD 6520G which has the 512mb dedicated and up to 4gb shared, but wondering if there is a way to change that 512mb to 1g or so dedicated and then the rest. It's pulling that 512 from my system ram which I have a total of 8g any insight would be great! thanks!

    Hi,
    No, nothing you can do. The system will work this out for you and it will allocate AVAILABLE memory for the GPU if required.

  • Is it possible to upgrade/add a graphics card to a Pavilion dv7-7000 laptop?

    I've been doing a lot of research lately, to mostly no avail, about whether or not my HP Pavilion dv7-7025dx laptop can have a dedicated GPU added to it, as currently it only has the integrated Intel HD 4000 Mobile graphics card.
    Mostly I've come across the unfortunate agreement that most laptops cannot have their graphics cards upgraded/swapped out, since the graphics card is soldered on to the motherboard. However, after talking to an HP "support representative", they said they believed it was possible to add a graphics card, as long as it is compatible with the HM77 45W UMA Motherboard my computer has.
    Furthermore, after finding the maitenence and service manual online for my computer ( http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c03221579.pdf ) it says that it could have come with switchable graphics, specifically the Nvidia Geforce 630M or 650M. 
    So I am wondering, is it really at all possible to add a dedicated graphics card, either by having switchable graphics or something else? Or am I stuck with the integrated Intel HD graphics? 
    If I can upgrade/add a new card, where would I be able to find/buy a compatible one, and would I be able to install it myself or would I need to go to a local computer repair?
    My laptop is the HP Pavilion dv7-7025dx Entertainment Notebook.
    It has an Intel Core i7- 3610QM CPU @ 2.30 GHz, 8GB memory, 750GB hard drive (5400 rpm).

    Hi,
    You can't add a dedicated graphics card to the system like this. The vga is soldered to the board so no way you can just plug it in like on a desktop. However, you can buy a new motherboard with the dedicated graphics card on it. It also requires a new heat sink. 
    Manual: http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c03221579.pdf
    You need a 682040-001 board plus 682061-001 heat sink to have a dedicated graphics card on your laptop. Have a look on ebay for the part numbers.

    Unfortunately, the GPU is not upgradeable in these units.  You would have to upgrade the entire motherboard package, which would be costly and cause potential reliability issues in the future.  Your best option would be to upgrade to a newer notebook with the GPU and specs you require.

  • Graphic card for hp pavilion dv7-3152

    Hi all!
    I have a hp pavilion dv7-3152ca I bought some time ago. For some weeks now, the laptop became a bit strange, shutting down by itself randomly with Power Kernel error 41 on win7 64.
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=fr&lc=fr&dlc=fr&docname=c02143694
    After checking some place, i've seen it could come from overheating so cleaning would be a good move. After disassembling the whole thing (you have to remove any single part to do such!), problem still occurs. So it does not come from heating.
    I know it can come from several thing but as my video card is messy for a while (the vga output does not work anymore, had to buy a hdmi to vga converter to use laptop for ppt), I guess it could be the reason.
    Now, problem: which card and where to buy!?
    What kind of specs should i check for? I mean on pc, it's easy with mobo, you can get ref but for laptop... and as the laptop is not anymore under warranty, no way to get any kind of support from HP (good job guys, way to go...)
    Any inputs?
    Thanks

    If the video card is bad, it will mean replacing the whole motherboard. The video chip is soldered to it. If you need help finding the part let us know.

  • TS2083 How do you know if you have more than one graphics card installed?

    How do you know if you have more than one graphics card installed? My MacBook Pro does not provide a connectivity to TV via HDMI.

    You can go to <http://support.apple.com/specs/#macbookpro> find your Mac's technical specs.
    Depending on what kind of video output port you have, you should be able to get an adapter to HDMI.  For example a Mini Display Port to HDMI (I have one of these).

    The other HD Audio device is likely to be the Realtek ALC880 8-channel High Definition onboard sound. This is a bit of a decision point. If you plan on always using the AMD High definition Audio as your default ouput through an HD TV with HDMI out, then you can disable the Realtek HD audio device. Once that is done then restart the PC. Go to the Control panel and select sound, now sellect the AMD HDMI out and right-click and select it as the default. There should now be a green checkmark next to it. Now you can select Configure to test it.

  • Allocating more memory to be able to compile. How?

    How do I allocate more memory to CS5 in order to be able to compile AIR 2.5?
    Small apps are compiling just fine,
    Bigger apps like mine, however In CS5, always results in a grey windowed app, basically the compiler stops halfway.
    It gives the same result in CS4 if I let the memory unchanged as the default of 128 mb.
    If I allocate more memory to CS4, 512, I can compile perfectly, specific 2.5 code is also executed if I put traces.
    but I cannot package as the app.xml gets overwrited during the package step. Its always sets it back to 1.5.
    Since CS5 is ment to be able to compile/package AIR 2.5 apps, in fact its the very reason I have it on my disc,
    I would like to know how do I compile my large app using CS5 if no extra allocation of memory is possible?
    thx by advance

    Because it is not cloud storage. It is cloud backup. You need more storage capacity on your iPad, not in the cloud. iCloud backups up your purchases so that you can download them again for free at a later time. You need to make room on your iPad for local storage ... To make room for the movies.

  • Of possible interest to those running more than one graphics card

    This bit of information in relation to GPU and OpenGL features and limitations in Photoshop CS4 had totally escaped me until today. Though it doesn't affect my setup, it might be of interest to others who may have missed it too.
    Excerpt from http://www.adobe.com/go/kb404898
    Q. Does Photoshop take advantage of dual-GPU display cards?
    A. Not at this time.
    Q. Why can't Photoshop take advantage of more than one display card?
    A. When you move an image window between two monitors that are each on a separate display card, the GPU attached to the second monitor does not have access to the data necessary to accelerate drawing. The SLI and Crossfire technologies that use more than one GPU to speed up full-screen games will not work with Photoshop, because their use is limited by design to accelerate only full-screen games.

    In this case, I would re-think states here and create only Transition In notifications:
    -> Transition In: Status: ACTIVE
    -> Transition In: Status: PASSIVE
    -> Transition In: Status: SUSPENDED
    So it would not send double notification (leaving state A and entering state B). If you don't want such notification for newly created users, maybe think about request MPRs as Mark suggested? Then you can set different workflow (and notification) for each
    state changes.

    Cori, welcome to the forum.
    The power supply unit (PSU) is external and only 180W.  Also, there is no PCIe slot.  Therefore, you can't upgrade the video card.

    thanks

    Hi,
    The main problem you are going to face is your PC only has a 160W Power Supply Unit.  Without upgrading your PSU, you will struggle to find any card that will improve your graphics capability.

  • Upgrade graphic card for HP Pavilion p6-2105eo

    I would like to upgrade the graphic card för HP Pavilion p6-2105eo.
    Any suggestions?

    Hi,
    Try one of the below MSI specific model graphics cards.  They may or may not work in your PC but if they do then it's about the best that you can do without also replacing the power supply. These cards come with a switch to allow the card to work with legacy and UEFI mode BIOS PCs.  Know what the return policy is before your PC.
    MSI NVIDIA GTX N750 TI and the MSI GTX N750 TF If NewEgg is out of stock then try TigerDirect, Google or Amazon.

  • Help installing AMD Radeon 8490 graphic card on HP Pavilion P7-1110

    Appreciate any help on this that anyone can give.  I'm at a loss at the moment.  Just got an AMD Radeon 8490 graphics card to put into the HP Pavilion p7-1110 desktop.  I have not opened up the back of a computer for probably ten years (used to do it, but haven't for a long time).  The card I got was new, but pulled from a workstation before going out, and came with no disk or documentation.  
    I tried just opening up the back, and putting the card in the PCI-16 slot, but when I restarted the computer, the computer did not recognize either the old integrated graphic card or the new one.  When I pulled the card back out, it recognized the old integrated card.
    From what I've been reading, there's a suggestion that I uninstall the Intel Integrated graphics driver before trying the install again, then plugging in the new card, turning the power back on and letting Windows 7 choose the drivers necessary for the new card, then it might work.
    But what if it doesn't.  Then I don't have the drivers for the old and it's gotten me nervous that I'll be without any graphics at all and unable to use the computer.
    Any suggestions?  Don't know why this has me this nervous, but I guess it's that lag time between dealing with a motherboard.
    Appreciate any assistance, guys.

    Hi,
    I see two possibilities.
    The AMD 8490 is not compatible with your PC.
    The 250 watt power supply in your PC is insufficient.
    Try clearing the CMOS and see if that helps.  If not, then try the BIOS update that is posted for your PC.
