Can i add a video graphics card to the HP TouchSmart 420t

I just purhased an HP Touchsmart 420T and I'd like to know if I can add a video graphics card?

This is the same answer that has been given for every model over the past 3 years and continues to be the case.
For all intent the graphics cards in the Touchsmart desktops are NOT upgradable, even with a "standard" MXM card since the motherboard and BIOS are custom made for HP and do not support additional non-HP graphics cards and their firmware/BIO

  • Can I add a 3g sim card to the ipad?

    Can I add a 3g Wifi card to a wifi-enabled iPad?

    If you have a wifi-only iPad then you can't add a micro-sim card to the actual iPad - it doesn't have a sim slot or the hardware within it to use it. You might be able to get a mifi device, or use an iPhone as a personal hotspot for the iPad.

  • Can I add a second graphics card?

    I have an older G$ Quicksilver with a 32MB Geforce2 MX display card. I want to add a second vga monitor in pan mode to display one program while the other monitor displays another program. Can I add a second GeForce2 MX 32MB AGP card to accomplish this? Or do I need a more powerful card to replace the one I have?

    You can't add a second AGP card (there is only one AGP slot on the motherboard). You could add a PCI graphics card, but you will get much better performance by replacing your current AGP card with one that supports two monitors. There are various options depending on whether you have a display using ADC, how much performance you want, and price.
    If you need ADC and don't want to buy a DVI to ADC adapter, you can look for a used Macintosh NVIDIA GeForce 2 MX Twinview or NVIDIA GeForce 4 Titanium. These don't support Core Video, so will not be able to take advantage of some features and speed improvements in Tiger.
    If you don't need ADC, or get a DVI to ADC adapter, you can get much better performance. The best (but expensive) is the ATI Radeon 9800 Pro Mac Edition 256MB. It has a DVI and a VGA port.
    A lot cheaper, and a bit slower, is the ATI Radeon 9600 Pro Power Mac G5 edition, modified to work in a G4 Quicksilver. See:
    <http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Apple/630ATI96G4/>
    With this card you will need an ADC to VGA adapter to run your second monitor. The other port is DVI.
    Beware of the ATI Radeon 9600 Pro PC & Mac Edition 256MB card. It will not work in some Quicksilver modes.

  • Video Graphics Card and the iMac

    Can the video graphics card you have in the iMac be replaced with another graphics card?
    Or is it hardwired in? Sorta like a wysiwyg?

    Darren, thx for the list. I didn't think think the graphics card could be changed out, but I think it was worth asking.
    Besides that, I think the Radeon 9600 card is a good enough card anyway

    Hi booory, I see you are looking to upgrade your video graphics.
    I have the product specifications for you to look at for your HP TouchSmart 310-1126. Unfortunately, it does not seem like you will be able to upgrade the video graphics.

  • Can I add a better graphic card to Equium A100-306?

    As the title suggests is it possible to add a graphics card to an A100 - 306 Equium in order to better handle games?
    Any thoughts/comments much appreciated.
    Thanks

    Hello,
    Honestly no its not possible. Every model has a set list of parts that can be ordered, and if your model has a graphics card of 128MB the only video card an ASP can order is the one listed for your model. The equium A100-306 is different for instance then the Equium A100-307. From looking at the parts list for your computer, your Graphics card is integrated on the MB, meaning you can not even upgrade it if you wanted. Sorry, no chance for an upgrade on your Notebook.

  • It is possible to install a graphics card for the hp touchsmart iq504 series?

    Hey folks I've had my pc for awhile now. According to the datasheet it saids that a graphics card can be upgraded but the power supply may need to also be upgraded check with the company of the graphics card. So i tried email hp but no answer on the question. Im thinking of trying to get either a ati radion 4270 512 mb card or nvida if its allowed. Mostly from online search through google many folks say its upgradeable but when gaming it acts more like a laptop their for performance is horrible. Is this true? I've tried to install games on my laptop that has a radion hd 4250 graphics card but gaming just doesnt add up the same as a desktop. So if anybody has some opinions or tips that could help me in area would gladly appreciate it.
    Thanks hp fan gmoney38

    The graphics in the IQ5xx series can not be upgraded in the way you're thinking, the Touchsmart line does indeed resemble a laptop more than a desktop.
    In general the opinion is that it is not worth persuing a graphics update for these products.

  • Do I need to replace video graphic card or power supply unit on hp compaq presario sr2180nx

    hello all
    i saw a similar post over 4 years ago, however it doesn't address my issue.
    my pc started stalling when i attempt to turn it on.  It wouldn't come on. Then after several tries every now and then it would come on. I was told through searching that it could be the video graphic card or the power supply. Therefore once i had the computer back on.  I never shut it off. However, i could reboot and it would come on.
    Now it won't come on again. So i don't know what to replace. The video graphic card or the power supply.  If it is the graphic card, do i replace the one previously installed or add a new one. And if adding a new one, what is recommended to be compatible with my 300 watt supply unit? I'm lost as what route to take and how.Below are the details of my unit.
    HP/Compaq Presario SR2180NX desktop PC with a P5LP-LE motherboard with an Integrated graphics using Intel GMA 950.
    *Integrated video is not available if a graphics card is installed.
    Also supports PCI Express x16 graphics cards
    300 watt supply.
    thank you in advance for any help you can give me.

    Is there an add-in video card in the slot? If so, remove it and try to turn on. If the problem is the video card it will turn on. If not it is the power supply.

  • Is it possible to add a graphics card to the back of my HP

    Hello  I want to know if it's possible to add a new graphics card to the back of a Laptop not inside of it but on the back of my laptop ???  my graphics Card is a Intel 4000 graphics card is a terrible for gaming TERRIBLE !!!  

    Not sure where it would go on the back, but no the system is closed. There is no place to insert a graphics card or attach it. You will find some hokey stuff on the internet where people say you can plug a video card in the wireless card slot but those are a hoax at worst and at best they do not tell you that such a thing would not even perform as well as what you have and is likely to damage the motherboard. 

  • Video/Graphics Card to raise Windows Vista Readiness Score

    If your like model desktop PC is like mine, then your Vista Readiness score for video/graphics/gaming is the lowest of all of the scores, or somewhere under 3. I would like to improve that score with an add of video/graphic card. I am not looking to go too wild, I just want to bring that score up to be on par of the rest of scores of 4-5 to a little over 5. Is there any recommendations from anyone who has tried this. What card did you use? One that will not eat up too much memory The addition of more memory will be my first step ahead of this one. I am not into gaming much, I just want my PC to work not so hard when displaying graphics and video.
    Anyone, any idea?

  • How can you tell if your video/graphics card is failing?

    I have been playing World of Warcraft for over 7 months now (insert geek jokes here), and I have never experienced the problems that I have been experiencing with WoW this weekend.
    I was hoping that it was just a connection/internet issue with WoW, but when i play on my laptop (and older Powerbook G4), screen loads aren't slow like they are on my Intel iMac.
    Yesterday and today have been horrible. I'll get disconnected at least 4-5 times (which NEVER happens) and when I am finally logged into my account for game play, it's horrible lag. And even then, it takes a while for the background or other characters to load.
    I'm worried that it's my video/graphics card and might be failing. How would I know if this was the case?
    I am still hoping it's just a connectivity issue and has nothing to do with my card. But I don't know at this point.
    I'm very frustrated.
    Any help and/or advice would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!
    Suzanne

    Wow, ok, sounds like you are on the exact same path that I'm on. I'm a WOW player also, have had my iMac since 2008 (and play wow alot, raiding, etc) and recently it fried it's graphics card. I just replied to your thread about HDDs... so please see that response.
    I'm convinced it's a heat issue and I have a feeling the latest OSX update may have changed something about the fan speed that caused extra heat to build up. Just a theory.
    Anyway, your options are very limited for "fixing" a screwed up graphics card. Hopefully you have AppleCare, otherwise you're looking at ~$500 to fix this.
    I'm not going to bother. Just bought a new monitor and graphics card for my 4y.o. Windows machine and will be using that from now on. I'll miss the Apple display and the operating system, but the hardware doesn't make me happy at all.
    Good luck!

  • Model hp a622n desktop ... upgrade video graphics card for Windows 7

    I have a hp a622n desktop that has a Micro Star International motherboard. 
    The Serial Number of the motherboard is 4311483428 ... bus clock 100 mghz ... Bios Award Software 3 26 05/09/2005
    My monitor is a Samsung SyncMaster  s/n GS19H9NX601526
    Intel 82845 G/GL/GE/PE/GV Graphics Controller 
    It came with Windows Xp and I have done a clean install of Windows 7
    I am able to use the monitor but ... when trying to activate the screen saver or putting it into the sleep mode ... I get a message that I need a video graphics card that supports 3D ...
    Through my research I have found that a Radeon X1300 card ... #400558-001that is supposed to solve this problem ... 
    I was told that I need a PCI card ... 
    I have located this board at VisionTek ... their customer service told me to make sure that the motherboard will work with this ...
    Will this board work ?  and are there other boards out there that would also work ?
    Thanks ...
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Lets start out with that is an antique system with limited options because it only has PCI slots and no normal video card.  The card you are asking about does have "High Definition 3D Performance & Image Quality to Your PC"  If you are considering getting one, try the EBay market as this is really old hardware and you can get one for near nothing.  For Example: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Visiontek-Radeon-X1300-Graphics-Card-256MB-128bit-900106-/191175474229
    Just make sure the one ordered is the PCI version.
    There are other possible choices: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814187213

  • Sims 3 HELP (video graphics card)

    Okay so I play the Sims 3 for around an hour and then all of a sudden the screen freezes up and after a minute or two the game closes and when I try to restart the game a message appears that says:
    Unable to start game.
    Device 0 cannot run this title. No supported video graphics card detected. Please check your system hardware.
    So apparently I need a video graphics card? Any suggestions on which one?

    I have the same problem.  Here's what I posted on the official Sims 3 forum:
    When trying to start the game, I get this error message:
    Unable to start game.
    Device 0 cannot run this title.
    No supported video graphics card detected. Please check your system hardware.
    This error just started popping up yesterday. I played all day before I started getting it. I have NVIDIA GeForce 88oo GTS 512s in there, and have no problem playing graphics intensive games. It's pretty funny that I can play Far Cry 2 with the settings maxed out but not Sims 3.
    I have seen people mention this error on various other forums around the web, but no one seems to have an answer. I've reinstalled the game, graphics card drivers, and Windows itself trying to fix this. Does anyone have any idea what the problem could be?
    I see a few other people have had this problem but haven't seen any answers yet.

  • Video/Graphic Card Upgrade

    Hello,
    I am looking to upgrade/replace my current video/graphic card to new one so that I am able to do video/photo editing (Adobe Photoshop CS6)
    I am using Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit Service Pack 1
    Here is my Video/Graphic Card infor:
    Adapter: Inter(R) HD Graphics Family
        Current resolution: 1920x1080
        Refresh rate: 60
        Version: 8.15.10.2291 (1/27/2011)
    Graphics memory: 1,696MB
    Aero status: Enabled
    Thanks for your help.

    Here are the System Requirements for PS CS6.
    The problem that you are facing is, the power supply unit (PSU) in the computer is 300W.  Any of the video cards that will work properly with it will not be much better than the Integrated Video.  Therefore, it will require a PSU upgrade, as well.  I normally recommend at least 500W, but 600W is better for future upgrades.  I like Corsair products.  Any standard ATX PSU will work.
    Now, for a video card.  The video card that you buy should be PCI Express x16.  A generation 2.0 or 3.0 will be backward compatible, but you will not get full benefit of it.  I recommend finding a card that you like and making a template of it.  If the card has extra PCIe power connectors, you should add at least 1" to the template.  This will help you determine if the card will fit into the space provided.  Here is a card the will do what you need.  You should definitely make a template to assure that it will fit into the space provided.  If not, it will give you a good idea of what you need.
