Graphics Card Replacement Suggestion

My current ATI Radeon HD 4350 graphics card fan is making a loud noise and I need a suggestion for a compatible graphics card replacement. I don't play video games but I do watch streaming videos from HULU, Netflix and YouTube often. I have a dual monitor setup as well.
Current PC; HP Pavilion Elite HPE-110f running Window 7.

Hi:
I would go with the Radeon HD 6450.
Get one of the fanless models listed. Then you have no fan to make noise or conk out on you (such as the ASUS or Sapphire cards listed at the link below).
http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=-1&IsNodeId=1&Description=HD%206450&bop=...
The card has a maximum power draw of less than 30W and it is the optional card offered on HP business desktops with 240W power supplies.
Make sure you uninstall your old graphics card and driver in the device manager, shut down and unplug the PC before installing your new video card.

IMac G5 Graphic Card Replacement for blue screen problem

When I turn on iMac, I only see blue screen, the apple technician said Need to replace graphic card, Nvidia Gforce 7600GT 256.
1, can it install in IMac? Seem like it work for PC?
2, I had blue screen problem several time, I think I turn on iMac too long, so it burn out graphic card.
3, I have 2007 G5 24" screen model, is any durable and afford graphic card you recommend?
Where to buy for cheaper price?
Do I need to change mother board?
4, can I replace it by myself? Any picture or video for graphic card replacement?
Thank you.

If you look around, you might be able to find someone who will replace just the chip on the graphics card, which is what usually fails. It will take someone highly skilled; they really have to know what they're doing--it's not an ordinary soldering job.
Here's someone who found a non-Apple service to do this, and it proved to be far less expensive than a full logic board replacement. But I think this was in the UK.

Apple graphic card replacement

Hi,
I own mid 2011 iMac 3,4 i7 model with 6790 2GB graphic card which is broken.
Found Apple replacement program for those cards :
http://9to5mac.com/2013/08/16/apple-opens-graphics-card-replacement-program-for- some-mid-2011-imacs/
Can someone tell me is this program available for Europe, (Croatia or Bosnia & Herzegovina) ?
Best regards,
Dzenox

Thanks for replies,
I found almost everything what you already mention here but it will be easy if would live in US.
Europe is also not a big problem, but my country Bosnia&Herzegovina does include some other conditions due to fact that isn't listed at Apple page of countries.
We do have some resellers, but I want a clean proof so I can get some benefits from it.
Btw: it is the second time I have to change graphic card and I dont want to be charged.

IMac 2011 graphics card replacement program - service says no to me!

Hello everyone,
I have a mac with the exact specifications that are stated here in the graphics card replacement program: iMac (27-inch): AMD Radeon 6970M Video Card Replacement Program
And the exact symptoms as well. Computer was taken to a service that is approved by Apple, but as I'm in a different country, it's not an Apple store itself. After doing diagnostics for a few weeks, they told me that this does not apply to me. They that the serial number doesn't note that Apple covers anything.
I have no receipts or anything, had no Apple care either, but this is a replacement statement by Apple and even after having the serial number and seeing that it is the exact model having the exact symptoms - can they still say no to me? What should I do? There are no Apple stores like in other countries and if I took it to one of the official dealer stores, they're just gonna take the computer to the same official service provider. It is really unfair at the moment and I don't know what to do.
P.s. Should I post my serial number here so maybe someone who works in an official store could help me clear up if it really does not apply?

I had to have my graphic card replaced. I was told that I was under the 3 year from date of purchase time limit so got it for free. How long has it been since you purchased your iMac?

I have a HP Pavilion a6603w. I want to upgrade power supply to run powerful graphic card. Suggest

I have a HP pavilion a6603w desktop model number FK555AA-ABA a6603w. I have a low to mid level graphics card, which is the most that my power supply will handle.
I want to get a stronger power supply to run a high end graphics card with a self cooling fan. Can anyone suggest an excellent, reliable power supply brand and model that will fit into my desktop case with minimum fuss? I am not tech savy but I have replaced my video card and hard drives with no problem.
Thanks,
Lugnut

Hello lugnut1204, I checked the specifications for your system and is appears the system shipped with a 250 power supply. The dimensions for this power supply are 5 15/16 inches wide, 5.5 inches long, and 3 3/8 inches tall. Since your system is a MicroATX version, you would be slightly limited to a power supply of the same size as the original power supply.
Here is a link to Newegg where a Corsair 600 watt power supply can be found with almost the exact same physical size as you original 250 watt version. The Corsair power supply dimensions are 5.9 inches wide, 5.5 inches long, and 3.4 inches tall.
If you get a power supply too long, it may interfer with the back of the CD\DVD drives.
You would need to locate a video card that you wanted and make sure the power supply requirements were less than the 600 watt Corsair model. Most of the mid to higher end cards require at leaset a 400 to 500 watt or greater power supply.

Getting graphics card replaced under Apple Care, How?

Hi everyone
I have a Mac Pro, 3Ghz Quad with 5 GB of RAM and a Radeon X1900 XT and Apple Cinema 30".
For the first few months that I had it I could play games fine on it. Then slowly it started malfunctioning on anything that is GPU intensive. At first the monitor would black out in game and then the computer would restart. I had the machine cleaned and that fixed the problem for a while. Then problems started to appear again. The machine would completely hard freeze while in-game.
I came on here and asked about the problem and found out that a lot of people who play WOW on 30" Cinema Displays with Radeon X 1900 XTs were having the same problem. It was due to the fact that the graphics card overheats (bad design on apples part). I have never played WOW but I get the same problem. They suggested using smcFanControl to up the idle speed of my PCIe/HDD fan (the fan still runs within its rated RPMs). This helped for a while when I ran the fan at 3x its normal idle speed. But I really didn't enjoy hafting to go and change my fan speed before playing a game, and games within windows wouldn't work at all.
Now my games ether hard freeze a few minuets in (under OS X or Windows), or I get graphics glitches (polygons get stretched out into infinity off of different objects). This is unacceptable considering the machine is hardly 8 months old (and I have Apple Care on it), also considering I have done nothing wrong or out of the ordinary and the GPU just deteriorated into this state on its own.
So I was wondering how I can go about getting Apple to replace my GPU for free under the Apple Care. I'm located in Guatemala and there is an apple authorized repair place here.

Call AppleCare. Open a problem report/ticket on this.
* Order parts (Do-it-Yourself)
* Request a repair online
* Check your repair status

I would also run Apple Hardware Test in the meantime. There is suppose to be a revised 2nd generation Radeon. I know it has been discussed heavily on the WoW forums.

Graphics Card Replacement Help

Greetings - A trip to the Genius Bar has confirmed that I have a bad graphics card (ATI Radeon 9600) in my PowerPC G5. It's working again for the time being, but needs to be replaced. The Apple Genius I worked with assured me that I could purchase and replace the card on my own (yikes but I'm willing to give it a go), but that particular card does not seem to be available and I want to be sure to use a suitable replacement. I've read through quite a few of the posts related to this topic, but as I am totally new to all of this, much of the discussion is beyond me.
I'm wondering about the "NVIDIA GeForce 6200 Mac 256MB G5 AGP video card VGA+DVI" recommended by Makman8688 in the recent "Graphics Card Update" post. I do a lot of Photoshop work and hope to move into video at some point. Would this card be a suitable replacement?
Many thanks for any guidance.

Hi-
As explained there are 2x, 4x and 8x AGP cards. This is the bus speed multiplier.
The G5 uses the fastest AGP bus, that of the 8x AGP bus.
You mention DVI ports. If you have a requirement for two DVI ports, your card choices then become limited to cards with two DVI ports, or to OEM cards with ADC and DVI ports.
ADC ports can use a simple adapter to make them DVI compatible.
For video work, any card faster than a Radeon 9800 Pro should be considered.
A relatively common, and very nice graphics card is the Geforce 6800 Ultra. This card has 2 DVI ports and the power to run HD resolutions.
It does, however, cost $200-$280.
If you don't need two DVI ports, then the Geforce 6200 card is an option, but not necessarily a power house type of card.
It is a bit better than the 9600, however, with a used 9650 being an option as well.
A Radeon 9800 Pro or XT will be quite a bit faster than the 9600, but are both limited to 1 DVI port.
These cards are better for video than the 6200 or the 9600.
The Pro sells for from around $95 up to $185, with the XT selling for $120-$190.

1st Gen Mac Pro Graphics Card replacement??

I have a 1st generation mac pro and the nvidia geforce 7300 GT graphics card died.
what can I replace this with that is relatively inexpensive? Does it need to be 256 or 512 MB?

Thank You. That isn't quite my situation. There is a back on April 11th. 2010 and still unsolved. That is very disappointing considering there are a lot of people who are genius with technical issues on this forum.
It booted up OK from a long power down time but if I have to restart for any reason or power down and start up within a few minutes, I will have nothing on the display (black). The little light is on and if you touch the button the light will goes to sleep but nothing on the display. I checked everything and tried every combinations. What I ended up with is; 1. to leave the computer on forever until the end of time but I can't because sometimes the fan would come on high and stay on., 2. if I have to restart, I have to unplug both power chords and wait at least half an hour to forty five minutes then plug everything back in and start. Most of the time it will work. This puzzled me.
Everywhere I posted this problem, I've had zero answer. There must be some one who knows this issue and solved it before. Hello! Are you out there? Help me please!

Graphics Card Replacement - Dual 2.7 Early 2005 - Which?

Hi all,
I feel bad for posting a new topic, as japamac and other users have addressed this question before, however, I'm confused!
My used Dual 2.7 Early 2005 G5 has the stock graphics card in it at the moment, as the 800XT that my dad had been using in it broke while he was doing some maintenance prior to giving it to me.
I want to replace the graphics card because:
-I like to stream videos, and it doesn't do it as well as I'd like.
-I play a lot of Civilization 4: BTS, and want to turn my graphics setting up w/o trashing performance.
-I want to edit RAW photos in Aperture (will upgrade to 3 soon) with shorter load times.
So which card would you recommend? I've been confused, as I believe the graphics slot is PCI-X (not express, I've got that one down), but a lot of the cards discussed in archival threads are 8x AGP. Perhaps the computer has both slots and I'm unaware? I feel further hampered by my lack of knowledge when the best source for this upgrade may/will be ebay.
Your advice is very much appreciated.
Gorf

Hi-
Your machine is 8x AGP graphics and accepts one 8x AGP compatible graphics card.
The other expansion slots are either PCI or PCI-X.
You are looking for a Mac compatible graphics card, with a minimum of a Radeon 9800 XT 256MB card needed for your uses.
A Geforce 6800 GT or Ultra would be better yet, and of course, the Mac X800XT is also a good candidate.

Lenovo G770 CPU & Grafikkarten tausch - CPU & Graphics card replacement

Deutsch:
Hallo, nach dem ich an meinem Lenovo G770 die Festplatte und den Arbeitsspeicher aufgerüstet hab, interessiert es mich ob es möglich wäre den CPU (akutell i5) aufzurüsten?! 1. Falls es möglich wäre nur einen schnelleren i5 oder sogar einen i7? Desweiteren kann man die VGA Karte austauschen? Was für eine wäre da brauchbar als Gamer? Habe ein Buget von ca. 400 Euro für beides, wenn es hoch kommt auch 500. Wäre lieb wenn ihr ein paar tipps hättet welche sachen da gut Leistung rausholen würden. (Grafikkarte ist da weitaus wichtiger als der CPU)
Englisch: (Bad )
Hello, after I upgraded my Lenovo G770 to the hard disk and memory, it interests me if it would be possible to upgrade the CPU (i5-date)? 1 If it were only possible a faster i5 or even an i7? Furthermore, you can replace the VGA card? What a would be as useful as a gamer? Have a buget of about 400 euros for both, when it comes up too 500 Would love if you had a few tips that things would get out there good performance. (Graphics card is there far more important than the CPU)

Satellite C50-A-1DV - Graphics card replacement

Hypothetically, If I wanted to replace the graphics card in my Satellite C50-A-1DV, how would I go about it?
And If i had to send my laptop in, how much would it cost?

At first I must say that GPU replacement or upgrade is officially not supported and any action in this direction is on your own risk.
Please note that notebook disassembling will cancel valid warranty.
But we are discussing hypotheticallyabout all this.
What you must do is to obtain new GPU, disassemble your notebook, exchange it and put your notebook together.
On some notebook models GPU is fixed on the mainboard and cannot be exchanged. I dont know how it is on your machine.
> And If i had to send my laptop in, how much would it cost?
If GPU is defective and warranty still valid best option for you is o contact nearest Toshiba service provider and ask for help. In case that you want to do upgrade, Toshiba service will not help you with this.
Can you please tell us what is the problem with your machine and original graphic card?
