Question about graphics cards for Equium L40 - 10X

Hi - new to this but really hacked off so hopefully someone can help me.!
I bought a Equium L40 - 10X in August and thought it was good for what I wanted, especially after seeking advice and speaking to 'an expert' at my local pcworld.
However, I think the graphics card is not good enough to support the games I have got - Medal of Honour Warchest, Hitman Triple Pack and Call of Duty 2. They all sem to recommend a nVidia graphics card as a minimum requirement. The card in the laptop is an Intel(R) 945 Express Chipset Family (I think) and the OS is Vista Home Premium.
Problems I am experiencing include loss of graphics and stuttering during play.
Can I upgrade to an nVidia graphics card or is the one I have got sufficient but I just need to change some settings?
Haven't got a clue really, so help would be much appreciated!

> I bought a Equium L40 - 10X in August and thought it was good for what I wanted, especially after seeking advice and speaking to 'an expert' at my local pcworld.
Either you was not clear enough or the expert from pcworld have provided the wrong information and wrong advice.
Fact is that the Intel shared GPU was not really designed to play the newest games.
The shared graphic card is simply not powerful enough to run such games smoothly!
> Can I upgrade to an nVidia graphics card or is the one I have got sufficient but I just need to change some settings?
NO, this is not possible because the notebooks graphic cards are fixed on the board and cannot be removed.

Sattelite 1410-question about Graphic Card

I've bought a Sattelite 1410-401 and i'm having quite some troubles with my graphic card, with moving images i can see black spots flickering through the image (no problems with stills however) ( i have downloaded the latest Nvidia drivers) wich is pretty annoying.
I'm also annoyed by the fact this graphic card doesn't support Pixel shader and that it only has 16MB RAM (not shared) my question(s) is(/are): Is there a way to get rid of those pesky black pixels and is there a way to replace or upgrade my video card?

Hello
I dont think that the black spots are a fault of a graphic card.
You say that you use the nVidia graphic driver. This is not correct. You should use the original Toshiba graphic driver or this unit. This you can find on the Toshiba website. Sometimes for watching some avi or mpeg files your need a different codex. You can find many informtions about this theme.
Furthermore you can change primary parts (memory, hdd) on you unit but its impossible to replace the graphic card.
Bye

Question about graphics card and motherboard

My laptop is a dv6500 CTO. I have the geforce 8400M GS video/graphics card in my laptop. Recently I was playing a game and my computer locked up. I restarted my computer and had a message from Windows 7 saying my graphics card stopped working. I than checked my device manager and it said the card was working properly. Well now it dies if I am watching a video, playing any game it lasts for about 5 mins.
I than went to the device manager and disable my card. Before my card was disabled, I was still able to loud windows fine. This is where I have my biggest question. If I disable my card, than why is it that I can still use my computer? Does the motherboard have a small chipset for video besides the graphics card? Is this graphics card welded on the motherboard or can I replace it?
I always thought on laptops the graphics card was part of the motherboard and if it went out than my screen would go out and that would be the end of it. Is that not true? Thanks for the help.

Here are the specs for your HP Pavilion p6-2371ea Desktop Computer. According to the specs, this model shipped with Windows 8 and a 300 watt power supply. To use the GTX 650 Ti you will need to upgrade the power supply to a 500 watt or 600 watt unit. The Corsair CX500 and CX600 are known to fir most HP comsumer desktop computer cases and come highly recommended. The next thing you need to do is DISABLE "Secure Boot" and ENABLE "Legacy Support" in the BIOS. Doing these things should resolve your issue.

Question about Graphics Cards for Adobe and more

Hello, for technical people I'll start by listing some relevant computer info: Asus P9x79Pro Motherboard . Nvidia Quadro 4000 2GB . Windows 7 . Adobe CS6
I have a workstation PC and have been considering ways to improve it. I'm pretty happy with both Memory and Processor, so now I'm looking at the Graphics Card. I got the Quadro specifically because it was listed on Premiere's list of Mercury Accelerated Playback cards. I have no real issues with it, but I'm wondering if I'm getting everything I can out of it. I also use Resolve often and occasionally Maya, but not often. Sometimes these other programs feel sluggish. I'd like a set up that is most optimal for Adobe PPro and AE, but is also good for Resolve. I'm less worries about Maya.
My motherboard can support 4 GPU's, but I've never had more than 1 before. I'm curious how to go about it. What sort of advantages will I get with a second GPU, how will this help me? Since I have a Quadro, should I get another Quadro? Should I run them SLI or run them independently? I've also been looking at the GTX Series, would those be preferable? If so, how should I set up my system, run monitors off 1 and use the other as a GPU boost? I really don't know enough about multi-GPU set ups, and I can't seem to find the answers I'm looking for, so any and all help is appreciated.
Thank you

Question About Graphics Card Compatibility

I have the HP p6-2101 that I use primarily for gaming. I was looking to upgrade my graphics card to the EVGA GeForce GTX Ti FTW edition, and I was just wondering how I could make sure it was compatible. Thanks!

Hi, There isn't any sure way to determine if a specific graphics card other than the HP OEM certified cards for your PC will work. The reality is that there is no guarantee that any particular graphics card will work in any particular PC even if the graphics card works in other PCs or even the same or similar model PCs. Know what the return policy is before you buy. Most of the newer graphics cards require that you PC runs the HP version 8 BIOS. There is a version 7.23 BIOS update available for your PC but I don't think it will help if you want to use the NVIDIA GTX 7xx ot 9xx graphics cards. ZOTAC sells some GTX series graphics cards that are compatible back to PCI-E 1.1 and these card may work with when match with the appropriate power supply. Contact Zotac for a recommendation and know what the return policy is before you buy.

T430S questions about graphic card

as you see ,there 3 different graphic cards to choose for your laptop.Now i'm so curious about the first one—N13M NS,which I have never heard of this before.Someone told me it's similar to HD4000 or GT610`````
But why the second choice is HD4000 but the price is higher than the first,whether it is just because of the SSD?~~~
Than, i am a student in design ,i often use PS Ai and Axure. i wonder whether N13M-NS is benefit for this kind of design softwares,and how many degree it can express ,as same as Gt630?when you use it for graphic design?

I think there are 2 graphics options, integrated (Intel) and discrete (nVIDIA Optimus). I think the first and 3rd ones have the same chip and they are described inconsistantly. The 2nd machine listed is more expensive than the first because of the SSD and a faster CPU. The 3rd is faster than the 2nd for similar reason (CPU, more memory and bigger SSD). I don't know much about the applications you are running, but in general, integrated graphics (like the middle ones) use less power (longer battery life), run cooler, but don't do well on full-motion video (like games). If your applications are doing 2D design, I doubt you could tell the difference. If you build 3D models and go through processes like rotations, the discrete models are better. The SSD will be mostly noticable in faster startup times, although if you store a lot of big files like pictures and videos, the platter-style disks have more space.

Question about graphics card driver updates on Satellite U300 Series

I am trying to install Spyder2 Pro onto Vista home premium 32bit, however I am having problems with it loading onto CS2. I contacted Colorvision and they suggested if the Video Card was more than 6 months old I would need the latest update. I have searched the toshiba/intel websites and have been unable to update this, when I download them and try to install it says I have the most up to date version, this being 7.14.10.1263.
Can anyone help!

Thanks for the reply Dennis. I downloaded the driver and when I tried to open it I got "+an error saying the driver being installed is not validated for this computer. Please obtain the appropriate driver from the computer's manufacturer+" When I try to update it in device manager it tells me that I have the most up to date driver installed.
I'm not really surprised, as I have had nothing but trouble with Vista since I got the new laptop three months ago. Just wish now I hadn't got rid of my old computer, which was run by xp. I do a lot of pictures and the video card on vista will not allow me to set the contrast to the max setting, which I need to be able to do. You then set it using adobe gamma. However vista or the intel graphics will not allow this. I then got the spyder2 pro, which didnt work. Colorvision said if the driver was more than six months, I needed to update it.
This, it seems is not as easy as you would think. Very frustrating actually. Wish I had of put the extra few hundred towards an Apple mac!
Thanks for the help
Regards
Neill

Slimline s5-1010 - HDMI graphics card upgrade, what graphics cards will work in slimline box?

Slimline s5-1010 - HDMI graphics card upgrade, what graphics cards will work in slimline box? Cheap will do, under 100. Has 1 PCI Express x16, but the slot on back of pc looks about 2" too short for this?

Hi-
I think you will find there are more users of the ATI Radeon 9800 that DON'T have a 300w PSU, than those that do. It would leave out the majority of the G4 line if it were absolutely necessary. As I see it, it isn't absolutely necessary, and, it is also the ONLY higher end upgrade graphics card commercially produced for 2x, 4x AGP systems, most of which, DON'T have a 300w PSU.
My Sawtooth has a 237w PSU, and the 9800, and my processor upgrade, and 2 internal drives, all work just fine!
As for the piggyback connection, that is how you connect the power to the 9800. A splitter molex cable is used to split power from the superdrive connection, between the superdrive and the 9800.

M58 Graphic card upgrade

HI everyoneI read some information on this forum about Thinkcentre M58, but nothing that can really help me.
I want to buy a new graphic card and I would like to know if there are limitation about Graphic Cards that I can install on this machine.It's not understandable why a desktop computer cannot be upgraded if the motherboard has all the expansion slots needed! Thank you for any suggestions.Regards

I don't know if the OP is still checking this thread, but I thought I would chime in anyways. Warning: long rambling post ahead.
I had the same problems when I was looking for GPU upgrade options for my M58p (tower form factor), There wasn't too much information out there concerning aftermarket upgrades.
If I recall correctly; the information I managed to find seemed to point out that the BIOS would only recognize AMD/Radeon cards up to the 4xxx series. For nVvidia I did find mention of the 9500 GT.
Aside from BIOS limitations. The only limit there would be, is the power supply. I don't know what type of M58 your PC is. My M58p has a Delta Electronics (model# 280GB-C) 280 watt installed.
====
Now for my personal experience
A few months after trying to figure out what GPU I could upgrade and having found nothing regarding cards newer than 5 years. I gave up the search and resigned myself to just having to build or buy a newer PC. On black friday; a local computer store had nVidia's low-end wonder GPU - the GTX 750ti - on for $120 with a 20 dollar mail-in rebate. Instead of letting the card sit in the box for a few months, while waiting for other parts to come on sale. I figured why not see if it can work in the M58p... IT DID!
Disconnected the power from the tower.Installed the 750ti in the PCIe x16 slot. Reconnected power and booted to the BIOS and disabled the built-in intel graphics.Rebooted and the screen stayed black. After 2 minutes I thought the computer had hung. but then it rebooted on it own a second time and made it into Windows 7.Start menu>Right click on Computer> Properties> then clicked into Windows Experience index. The 750ti showed up.Installed nVidia's latest drivers and rebootedEnjoying a 500%+ increase in performance over intel built in graphics ====
I've been running it with no hiccups for 2 months now and the PSU seems to be able to handle it with no problems. I'll see if I can dig up some screenshots that prove that the card is running and recognized and utilized by the operating system and since there are so many different sub-models of the M58 and M58p. I'll check to see what model my motherboard is and which BIOS it's running.
So if Julian_ was able to install a GTX 750Ti does that mean i could potentally install a R7 250X?
I have recently purchased a ex govt. M58 7484-AF3 (tower, not SFF case) for a very good price and and have also found an R7-250X 2G DDR5 for a steal and was wondering if its possible to use this on the OEM Lenovo board. I will be upgrading the PSU to accomidate the VGA card (plus other things like SSD, extra 4gb ram etc)

Looking for Macbook Graphics Card Upgrade

Hey,
I recently saw a Graphics Card Upgrade Kit for a Macbook Pro and was wondering if Apple offers a Graphics Card Upgrade Kit for a Macbook.
Thanks,

Welcome to the discsussions!
The graphics chipset is integrated into the logic board and cannot be replaced or upgraded.
Are you sure you saw one for the MacBook Pro and not the Mac Pro desktop tower?

A question about Graphics repaint

hi all. I met a question about Graphics repaint
I create mypane class extends JPane .
Now I write a function to keep drawing a char at Screen when i resize my applet.
the function code :
bDrawChrToScr(Graphics2D bgr, char Chr,int iX,int iY,int iX1,int iY1)
bgr.setColor(Color.black);
bgr.fillRect(iX,iY,iX1,iY);
bgr.setColor(Color.red);
bgr.drawString(String.valueOf(Chr),iWidth,iHeight);
bgr=thispane.getGraphics();
and i call this function in paintcomponent .Now when i resize my applet ,i find it not work as my hope.
the screen flash two. First it draw this char but sencond it erase it.Why? Thanks

The super.paintComponent(g) method causes the default painting to occur - overriding you bDrawChrToScr() method. Therefore, change paintComponent() method to:
super.paintComponent(g);
bDrawChrToScr(...);

Hi @Fodi
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
Ok, I understand that you are trying to install drivers for your graphics adapter and the one built in to your cpu.
In reality you do not need to install the separate drivers. It is covered by the main driver for your graphics adapter when there is both an integrated and discrete gpu.
As to the Error 43 - please see this page: Expand Code 43: Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems
Since you have tried several times you may need to remove both drivers and restart the system and let the os find the built-in graphics, before installing the driver for the AMD device.
All the various drivers for this notebook that have been HP customized can be found here:

Graphics card upgrade T410

Hi!
Brief introduction:
Skill level ultranewb
Computer model Lenovo Thinkpad T410
OS Windows 7/64bit
Ok, heres the problem:
I have recently discovered that my current graphics card is not capable of running newer games such as Battlefield 3. This is a problem.
I would like to switch from my Intel(R) HD Graphics Card to a suprior piece of hardware,
Clearly, I will need driver updates, I will need to know how to access the actual hardware location, I will need a compatible model to order, and I will need to be able to put everything back the way it was in case it doesnt work.
Can anyone help me please? I know nothing about graphics cards or their drivers. If someone could link me to an apropriate graphics card and a driver to go with it, I would be greatly in his/her dept.
Also: Will my computer even boot if it doesnt have the right software for the graphics card? Or am I going to switch it out and then have the screen come up blue or black?
Thanks so verry much,
Liam.

There are external express-card slot attaced options for a second video card. They really aren't tailord at the noob - as they tend to be touchy to get working really well but they are out there. They also don't run really high-end cards, but should work with say an AMD HD 7750. In most cases, if you want to game in high-resolution and detail, you don't want to be doing it on a laptop. Even the top-end workstations like a W520 won't do that well compared to a mid-range $800 tower with a $150 to 200 graphic card like a HD 6870.
