Unfortunately, that's the bad luck of any electronic, there's going to be bad Apples... wait that's a horrible pun.

  • Graphic card help for Pr and Ae use

    Hi there great community :)
    I'm currently working with only the on-board graphic card, and of course I should upgrade as my GPU is working on 99% on large renders and they are slow...
    I've been recommended the GeForce nvidia 2-4GB gtx 760, but neither the 750 or 760 are listed as supported graphic cards in the premiere cc system requirements.
    Is there a reason for this or should I ignore that?
    Is there a good reason for spending a little extra cash on the 4 GB vs the 2 GB card ?
    What exactly will a graphic card do for my performance? (I'm not a computer expert)
    My general use is premiere cc and after effects cc
    Hope you'll help. Greatly appreciated!
    Nice weekend to all :)

    Premiere accelerates both playback and export with the  GPU. AE Ray Tracer acceleration is far more limited and will only be used for a limited functions.

  • Please Help...Can't find graphics card matrix for AE7pro

    Hello Everyone,
    All I can find is the graphics card matrix for CS3. Does anyone know where I can find the matrix for AE7pro?
    Thanks,

    What card do you want to use, if it's a common one perhaps some of us can remember if it was on the list.

  • Graphics card update for windows 7 problem

    Hi, I have a 24" iMac 2008 it requires a graphics card upgrade for installing windows 7 i have 10.7 lion running, but it says on checking available disks that it cannot be installed on this disk as it requires 10.6  any ideas the update says 10.6 or later

    The only thing I can think of is maybe Apple doesn't have a Lion compatible Firmware installer?
    If nobody else hops in here with another idea then the only thing I can think of is to get an external HD and install 10.6 back on to it and boot from there and give it ago. If anything you now have a back up disk?
    Maybe try the iMac forums to see how they did it. Just mention you were here already.
    But you MAY have to swap the drives as the firmware installer might not work via booted from an external drive, just the nature of the beast.

  • Processor and Graphics Card Upgrade For HP ProBook 4445s

    Hey guys,
    I wanted to ask that  I have a HP4445s with the A6 4400m processor and don't find it enough to play games.
    The processor is a little bit slow and the graphics are kind of horrible for a gamer.
    I feel like upgrading to a new processor.
    The one that  I found nice is the
    AMD FD8350FRHKBOX FX-8350 FX-Series 8-Core Black Edition Processor
    I just wanted to ask whether I could upgrade to this.
    I also wanted to find out that it says that there are no integrated graphics, so does that mean I will have to purchase a new graphic card?
    Thanks,
    Please reply!

    That is a desktop processor and will not fit in any laptop. Right now some of the HP Support pages are down but I believe you can install an A10 AMD CPU which would improve the graphics just a little. There is no graphics "card" as you might be thinking of. It is a flat motherboard inside the laptop case with all the chips including video soldered on that board. The video comes from within the processor working with helping chips on the motherboard. An A10 processor provides slightly better graphics but nothing that will increase the gaming potential very much. That is a business laptop for doing Powerpoints and Spreadsheets and maybe watching a youtube video or playing a DVD. It is not a gamer. HP now makes the Omen laptop at about $1500 which would handle most high end games. 

  • Graphic Card Upgrade for HP-Pavilion dv6t-7000

    Hello. I have the HP Pavlilion dv6t-7000 with the NVIDIA GT650M 1GB grpahics card. Now because of my work, i need to extends my graphic card memory. So I want to ask if my laptop is possible to upgrade to GT650M 2GB card.
    My product number is A5F74AV. And my wannary is end on 8/24/2013.
    And this laptop is a gift of my aunt from USA, and I'm living in Viet Nam now. So if yes, can HP Vietnam do the upgrade for me? My aunt's family is very busy so I can't resend my laptop and ask them to return to you.
    Thank you very much!

    Hi:
    The only way to upgrade the video card in your notebook is to replace the entire motherboard which would cost as much as buying a new notebook with better graphics.
    If you had HP do the upgrade, it would probably cost more than buying 2 notebooks with better graphics than yours.

  • Graphics card upgrade for HP G71-340US

    Hello, I have a HP G71-340US running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit with a Intel GMA4500MHD. I know that this graphic card has a very low performance rate, so is there any alternate graphics available for me to purchase to put it in this system. With the discrete card, I will be able to multitask without any gridlocks. Thank you very much.

    I would think it is wise to purchase a new laptop. My parent owns a G71-340us and the model is pretty old. HP will charge a lot of money just to replace the motherboard. You could spend a little more money for a new laptop with better specification. Plus, count the time and money that they have to dismantle the system, take all the parts out, and reinsert it again. If you still want to look for the part, there is a link for parts in the HP website. http://partsurfer.hp.com/Search.aspx?type=PROD&SearchText=VM114UA

  • 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.

  • Do I need to tell Lightroom to use the Graphics Card in my new laptop?

    HI!
    I have a new laptop and have successfully transferred my pics, catalogue and LR settings across. 
    It has better specs than my last one, including a decent (I think!) dedicated graphics card.  I have always had integrated graphics before so am not sure how this works.  Do I need to tell applications, such as Lightroom, to use the graphics card, or will this be automatically be done by the software/operating system?  If I do need to do anything, is this in each software (like Lightroom), the computer settings, or in some third party control software?
    Thanks for your thoughts.

    Thanks for that.  That seems a shame, although hopefully the increased CPU will help it run more smoothly anyway.
    Do you know off hand whether I would need to do anything for other programs with regards to the graphics card or is everything automated?
    thanks again

  • Graphics Card issue for lenovo g510

    Sir,
    I have been having problems with the catalyst controller and switchable graphics, as it was not switching from intel grapics to amd ati graphics,  after I installed windows 8.1 from windows 8. I found a solution to the problem from this website by uninstalling both intel and amd ati graphics driver and reinstalling the driver given in the solution of this website. but now thw switchable graphics option doesnot even exist in my laptop. but the device manager is showing both are working fine. how can I fix this problem.

    Hi abdallah650, By default the graphic cards used by computer are switched automatically, depend of application to run. You can check and change this for each application in NVidia Control Panel - 3D settings.
    Also you can run each application with right click on it and choose the prefered graphic card. Read this article: switching between Intel and NVidia graphics and here.  I hope that will help you. 

  • Qosmio X500-10V - need new or used graphic card chip

    Need a new / used graphic card for my Qosmio X500 10V!!
    Please contact!
    greatings, Kingsley

    Hi
    Im not quite sure if you will be able to get only the graphic chip.
    I guess the graphic chip would be sold in connection with an new motherboard.
    However, the notebook seems to be equipped with an NVIDIA GeForce GTS250M GPU.
    You can contact the authorized service provider in your country to get the compatible part. Not quite sure how much such GPU could be but I think it would not be a cheap replacement.
