  • Can I change the graphic card in my Imac 21.5 2012 year

    Can I change the graphic card in my Imac 21.5 2012 year.

    You can't change the graphics card on 2012 model of iMac (unless you are talking about the THICK iMacs then I don't know). If you do want to change graphics card, then it probably needs expertise on soldering skills. CPU, RAM and HDD/SSD can be changed. The RAM is not soldered in. I have seen someone changed the RAM. Please check iFixit website for information on 2012 iMac:

    Also, don't forget that the screen is glued.

  • Can i change a graphics card in macbook pro retina 15?

    Dropped a coke on macbook pro retina 15 and need to change a graphics card can i do it???

    The gfx hardware is integral with and soldered to the logic board, so "no" to your question.
    If you have a black screen after a spill of a carbonated (= mildly acidic) drink, you've probably zapped more than graphics hardware.
    Many such spills are not recoverable. The repair price can approach the cost of a new computer. If you have honmeowners'/renters' insurance, put them on notice of the accident ASAP. Many people have found that their home policy covers accidental damage to electronics including computers, subject to a deductible. Often it's the only financial help you'll get in recovering from a liquid disater.

  • Can I change the graphic card on Toshiba Satellite S55-A5295 or add more dedicated video RAM?

    Hello, I am wondering if it was possible to change my graphics card. Currently its using the basic (Intel HD Graphics 4000/Family). If thats not possible then I'd also like to know if it was possible to dedicate more video RAM since it currently has 64MB out of the total 1696 avaliable graphics memory. And before someone mentions the BIOS option sadly its not shown there. Please let me know if I have any options!

    There is no option to change the GPU on this laptop model. As per memory sharing, it is done automatically by the chipset sharing around 10-20% of the physical memory to the graphics memory.
    What will you be using the higher ram?
    Is it gaming, media editing (video / photo), or 3D editing?

  • Can I change the graphic card on my Satellite A notebook?

    Can I change the video card that is originally on to my laptop? And if yes, how?

    Unfortunately this is not possible because the GPU chip is fixed and soldered on the motherboard.

  • Can I change a graphic card settings

    Hello,
    Can I change my ATI graphic card settings. (configure depth of field, blur texture details etc.)
    Thank you,
    Can

    Your specific examples suggest to me that you may find the following controls useful. Starting from the Apple menu (top left of the desktop) open 'System Preferences...'. You will find a setting for 'font smoothing' in the 'General' panel. In the 'Displays Panel' you can set the display resolution and colour calibration. If you have impaired eyesight then the 'Accessibility' panel will be helpful.
    Other things are normally controlled by the application and are controllable only if the developer chooses to offer the settings under 'Preferences...'. Most applications involving text will offer the Fonts panel for you to select typeface and styles but Mac developers are discouraged from exposing users to low-level settings. Apple's view is that properly designed applications should 'just work' and require users to make as few decisions as possible.
    My advice is not to bother trying to make Mac OS X reproduce the behaviour and aesthetic of Window; if you want Windows, install Windows, it works great on Mac hardware. Otherwise, just relax and go with the flow. After a few days you'll get used to how things are done and after a few weeks you won't want to turn back.

  • Can i change the graphic card of my macbook pro 13?

    hi guys..i've got a macbook pro 13 inch with intel hd 3000 graphic card..is there any way to change it to the faster intel hd 4000?

    No, it is an integral part of the mother board.  To improve the GPU, your only alternative is to purchase a newer MBP.
    Ciao.

  • Can i change my graphic card

    Hope this helps

  • Can I change the graphics card on a HP dv7t Quad Ed.?

    I am contemplating ordering a dv7tqe at a reasonably good price thru Costco.  Its equipped with a 1GB GDDR5 Radeon HD 6490.  A friend of mine has a 6770 he's willing to part with.  If I could swap these cards the resulting cost would be significantly better than buying the dv7t  with the 6770 already installed.
    I this doable?

      Not recommended as it can void Hardware warranty and can cause damage. Would also imagine it would be very difficualt to accomplish

  • Can one upgrade the graphic card for Imac (intel based)?

    can one upgrade the graphic card in an Imac (intel based)?

    While anything is theoretically possible, you would need to find another GPU that is compatible with your specific model iMac, and you would need to modify OS X to use a driver appropriate for whatever you propose to install. Future OS X updates would break it in short order. Not only that, you'd void whatever warranty that remains. It's not worth it.

  • W500 with ATI Mobility FireGL V5700 -can't change switchable graphics to "High Performanc​e"

    My W500 crashed on me this morning while playing a game, and I ran into a couple blue screens of death.After doing some troubleshooting, I determined that I had an issue with my video card, more specifically that my machine no longer recognizes my ATI Mobility FGL V5700, and only the low quality Intel chipset.
    I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the ATI Catalyst drivers, but that did not work.
    I also tried changing the switchable graphics back to "High Performance", but when I do, the screen goes completely black. If I put my computer to sleep and then wake it back up, the switchable graphics automatically go back to "Energy Saving", and my display works again, of course with the Intel graphics only.
    If reinstalling the drivers doesn't work, and I can't change the graphics back to High Performance mode, does that mean my video card is shot? Any suggestions other than buy a new one or live with the Intel graphics?
    I'd try to contact support but unfortunately my warranty just expired a month ago. Seems like everything breaks within a couple months of the warranty expiring. Grrr.

    I'm having identical issues. After updating the driver through lenovo update utility, i can no longer get the graphic card driver working. I've tried several different drivers, none of them work, and I'm now stuck here with a useless computer while my deadlines come closer and closer. Are there seriously no offical reply to any of these threads?

  • Can I replace a Graphics card on a HP Pavilion DV6-2311ee ?

    is it possiable to change the Graphics card of this model ? 

    Hi,
    Basically you can, with a cost and I believe this cost may be more expensive than buying a new computer because you have to take into account:
    New card price,  and WHERE you can buy it because laptop cards are not the same as desktop cards. You can't buy from any normal shop,
    Need new system board (may be),
    Need new cooling system because generally speaking more powerfull card pumps out more heat (you want more powerfull card don't you?).
    May need new PSU because your current PSU may not suitbale to the card. (I ordered a machine with Nvidia card and I needed to order a 90W charger at the same time, not the normal 65W charger. They simply rejected my order).
    Labor cost.
    Many, many packets of Asprin.
    Hope this helps.
