Can I upgrade my HP ENVY dv7-7300 Quad graphic card?

I've heard that most laptops graphic cards now a days can't be upgraded, but I have an HP ENVY dv7-7300 Quad and I was wondering if it is possible to upgrade its graphic card to Nvidia GT 635m?
Thanks

Hi,
Basically you can, nothing can stop you, 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.

Can I upgrade my HP ENVY 14 DR DRE Laptop to a blueray and SSD drive?

HI all,
Can I upgrade my HP ENVY 14 DR DRE Laptop to a blue ray and SSD drive?
cheers

You can upgrade from HDD to SSD drive, but will not recommend it as it will void the warranty on the unit.
Pertaining to bluray drive, you might have some compatibility issues unless you find the right model.

HP ENVY dv6t-7300 QUAD: Battery Drains when Shut Down & Doesn't Charge when Battery life is 93%

My HP ENVY dv6t-7300 QUAD had battery discharge when I left it off for a few days on, so far, three occasions:
The battery fully discharged to 0% from 100% when the laptop was left off for a peroid of two weeks
The battery discharged to 95% from 100% when left off for a seperate period of three days
The battery discharged to 94% from 100% when left off for a seperate peroid of four days
These three instances did NOT come consecutively.
When the laptop is left off for one day though, the battery life is at 98% or 99%.
On all occasians, the computer was shut down from the settings tab and NOT put into sleep mode or hibernate mode.
The other issue is that on two different occasions the laptop says that the battery is not charging when the battery life is > 93%. So far, I have not seen this problem appear when the laptop was below 93% battery.
This problem is intermittent. The first time it happened, the laptop began to charge at 93% battery life and continuted to sucessfully charge until today (8/11/2013). Currently, the battery life is at 97% and the battery will not charge.
I have performed a start-up battery test and the result displayed on the start-up screen is:
Battery Check: Primary-OK (1)
The result from the HP Battery Check from the Desktop Screen says:
Status: OK (0)
Charge Capacity: 97%
This screen also says that the battery is:
Charged (97%)
Current: 0mA
Full Charge Capacity: 5458mAh
Remaining Capacity: 5319mAh
Failure ID: OK
There is also one other interesting thing about this laptop:
When HP Searches for Drivers for my laptopr, the driver detection program detects that I have an HP ENVY dv6-7398ca, not a dv6t-7300 QUAD like it states under the battery compartment.
I have had this laptop since abour June 20, 2013 and I believe the warrenty is still good on the parts.
If anyone has any suggestions on how to fix these problems, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you.

That model MBP gives you a choice of cards to use – one at a time. it is not designed for them to run in tandem - splitting up the workload.

I'm not aware of any, not to say that there aren't any issues.
it may have nothing to do with ntpd, there are a lot of things running.
ntpd just happen to make the log entry at the same time as the panic.
I would check to see if there are any updates available for you system.
if this is the first time that this has happened. it may be (pick one):
cosmic rays
sun spots
the trilateral commission
if this happens more frequently and that traces look the same, then
there may be a real problem that needs to be looked into further.

HP Envy 15t-J100 Nvidia Graphics card issue.

Hello, I recently bought a HP Envy 15t-j100. I was under the impression that it came with a NVIDIA Geforce GT 740m graphics driver ( even has the sticker on the laptop) and a HP Intel HD 4600 driver. However when I went to device manager and looked at the display drivers, the Nvidia driver was not there. The only driver that was there was the Intel HD one. I then decided to go to the nvidia website and download the latest driver, but that didn't work because it told me it couldn't continue due to imcompatibility. I'm confused, I have the sticker that tells me that I "have" the nvidia geforce graphics card, but in device manager I don't see it. Help!

Hi,
The Envy 15t-jxxx series is a set of CTO machines. What is the model/product of your computer ? Please use the following instructions for find out the model/product of your machine:

HP Pavilion dv7 Notebook PC graphics card issues

I have a HP Pavilion dv7 Notebook PC (Product number: QG704EA#B1A) with an AMD radeon HD 6700M graphics card. Most of my games crash, im always given a graphical error, i experience freezes, lagging and general overheating. This only happens when playing games.
I have done every update Intel, radeon and hp offers and nothing works including bios updates. All my research tells me its just a bad compatibility with the graphics card. Can that really be true? Have i wasted over a thousand euro on just bad hardware??
My warrenty expired already, i had no idea this could happen with a laptop.

hi ,
welcome to HP support
your problem needs some effort to be solved
i can understand your setuation so i will help you
HW problems
>> you may have a cooling system problem check the cooling system
>> use cooling fan program to check the temps
SW problems

Can the 2008 Mac Pro (MacPro3,1) support two graphics cards?

I have a 2008 Mac Pro, I want to know if I can run two graphics cards in tandem?
I currently have a ATI Radeon HD 5770 installed for 1GB of graphics, I want to find out if It's also possible to run a second card to increase the total graphics power of the machine?
I see two possible options;
First, run the HD 5770 in one of the PCI Express 16-lane slots, and the old NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT in the other available 16-lane slot; for a total of 1.5GB GPU power.
Second, would it be possible to run two ATI Radeon HD 5770 cards, in each 16-lane slot; for a total of 2GB of GPU power.
I realise that this would first require a power supply upgrade, as my machine only shipped with a 318 watt power supply. (Which would not support running two high-end cards.)
It would be very useful.
Thank you for any advice.
Regards,
Peter.

Thanks for the information!
I wouldn't have thought there would be enough power capacity in the current supply to run two cards. - Would this mean OS X will only see one card whilst the other sits as inactive hardware? (Or does it mean that that the system will see two different cards?
For example:
Would it be possible to use one card for a graphics intensive process in Adobe Photoshop, and use the other card separately with another application such as Final Cut Pro or Adobe Premiere Pro?
Also, how would a 64-bit application like Adobe Photoshop which has GPU acceleration utilise the setup? Would it only be ably to use one card at a time (per process)? Or could it utilise both cards at once to in essence get twice the graphics acceleration than if only using a single card?
Simply, can OS X assign each card to a different application/process? I hope that makes sense.
Also, any thoughts on how Bootcamp would handle two cards (since crossfire should be available in Windows?
Before I commit to purchasing a second 5770, would you seeing if my Mac will run the current card + the old NVIDIA 8800 gt?
Thanks in advance.

HP Envy H8-1540t - dual graphics cards, Pcie 3.0 support

I have 2 questions about using dual graphics cards and Pcie 3.0 support in my machine.
The machine is:
HP Envy H8-1540t
Win 8 64
i7-3820 2nd Gen
10 GB DDR3 1600
256 GB SSD
1 TB 7200 rpm SATA hard drive
Blu-Ray Player
TV Tuner
Prem wireless N-Lan and Blutooth 2x2
600 Watt PSU
NVidia GTX 660
This machine uses the Pegatron IPIWB-PB motherboard and has 2 Pcie x 16 slots. I realize that by using dual width GPU's like the GTX 660, the smaller Pcie slots next to them will be buried, rendering them useless. So these are my 2 questions;
1.) Will 2 Nvidia GTX 660 GPU's physically fit within the machine and be supported?
2.) Does this motherboard with it's Intel X79 chipset support Pcie 3.0?
Thank You
This question was solved.

Hi,
You can find ALL information on the following OFFICIAL link, looks like it only supports PCIe Gen 2.0
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en&docname=c03132964#N241
From the image of the motherboard (above) and the following image of the GTX 660, simple answer: 2 cards won't physically fit.

Upgrading hp All-in-one 200-5200t graphic card

Hey
I was wondering if it is possible to upgrade the graphic card in my Pavilion All-in-One 200-5200t. It currently doesn't have one (aside from the build in one). If it is possible how can I know which is the best one compatible with my computer?

Hello @WalidB,
Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
I understand that you have installed 16 GB of RAM in your HP Pavilion All-In-One 200-5200t and it is only recognising 8 GB RAM and you are wondering what the max RAM is for your computer. According to the HP Pavilion All-In-One 200-5200t Product Specifications and Configurable Options the maximum memory is 8 GB (2x4GB)(64-bit O/S) or 4 GB (2x2GB)(32-bit O/S).
This would be why your computer only recognised 8 GB RAM as that is the maximum it can use.
I hope I have answered your question to your satisfaction. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

Hi @arkas
Welcome to the HP Forums! I see that you are having some graphic problems. Did you install that ATI driver from the AMD website? If so that is the problem. You have switchable graphics meaning that you have two video cards. The Intel card is designed for your everyday basic graphics processing while the ATI card is designed to handle the heavy lifting. Switchable graphics drivers are configured by the manufacturer of the notebook not the manufacturer of the graphics card.
I would suggest that you install your AMD High-Definition Graphics Driver and your Intel High-Definition Graphics Driver. If you are looking for more information on switchable graphics this HP document Switchable Graphics on Notebooks Configured with Intel and ATI GPUs.
