HP 15-g069cl - Graphics card is bad, wondering if I can upgrade.

The graphics card is really bad at gaming, and when I mean bad, it's incredibly bad for it's specifications.

In the image above, it places me in the 0th percentile, when clearly, I shouldn't be.

I run really low power games such at minecraft at 24FPS. And garrysmod at around 20FPS. My former laptop was 4x less power than my current one, but played the games at around 40FPS.
I already tried updating the drivers, but it didn't change much.
Does anyone know a solution? Thanks in advanced.
Personal thoughts on why I think it's this way:
I think it's really bad running games because of the integrated graphics card, but one can't be too sure.
If I can't fix it this way, is there a way I can upgrade the graphics card?
Or do I just return it instead?
Wondering if I can upgrade to a 8750m Graphics card? Is it possible? If so where do I purchase one? If I can't, Is there a way I can upgrade to a new graphics card? Or do I jut return the product?
I just purchased this product yesterday, wondering if I can just return it and get this? http://www.costco.com/.product.100103603.html?cm_sp=RichRelevance-_-categorypageHorizontalTop-_-Pers...

Here is the manual: http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c04310036.pdf
You have to change the whole motherboard for that.
Your graphic card in internal: integrated onto the board.
Also the processor you're having is the top one possible from AMD for this laptop & the graphic card associated with is limited to Radeon R5.
Hope this resolves your concern,

Graphics Card for Motion 4, RAM and processor upgrade

I am using a dual quad-core Mac Pro with 8GB DDR2 667MHz RAM for FCP and Motion. I have a NVIDIA Quadro FX card which does not work with Motion. Any suggestions on the card? I am looking into ATI 4870. Also, would like to put in some more RAM..any suggestion? I am looking at products on www.crucial.com
Also, does putting two graphics cards help at all?
Considering processor upgrades..will it be worth it?
Thanks in advance for your responses and time.

Also, does putting two graphics cards help at all?
No, unless you need more than two displays.
Considering processor upgrades..will it be worth it?
No.

Wondering if i can upgrade help plz!

Well i was wondering if i can upgrade my graphics card i have a Compaq - Presario Laptop with AMD Athlon™ X2 QL-60 Dual-Core Processor or http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=9027698&type=product&id=1218010578770 i know some laptops u cant upgrade so i was wondering if mine cant or ill just have to by ram

That would depend on your Operating System. If you have a 32 bit OS, then you're limited to about 3.2GB of addressable(useable) RAM. So putting 4 in would be a waste of money.

How do I know if my graphics card is bad?

I'm having some trouble on a couple of websites with graphics. It's hard to explain what is happening visually, but it appears that the screen gets "blocky" and the blocks move around as I move my cursor. Or, portions of the screen turn white. Sometimes portions of the screen "pixelate." This has happened only on 2 websites and not with any games (although I don't run high intensity graphics games) or other programs that I run. Is there a way to check the graphics card? I purchased the computer less than a year ago so it still should be under warranty.

Take pictures of these web site displays and then make an appointment at an Apple store genius bar and have them evaluate your MBP. Naturally bring the pictures with you.

10.5.5 + PowerMac G5 w/ ATI Radeon X1900 Graphics Card (256MB) Bad combo.

10.5.5 is not displaying video properly. Elgato seemed to have narrowed it down to a specific computer setup with an OpenGL change from the 10.5.5 update.
http://support.elgato.com/index.php?m=knowledgebase&a=viewarticle&kbarticleid=3097
My screen shot is the one used in the knowledgebase document. I now see that Apple DVD Player and flip4mac in quicktime have the same look. The audio is fine. VLC can play all of the files with no problem.
If you have the same setup:
PowerMac G5 tower (single or multiple processor), with a ATI Radeon X1900 Graphics Card (256MB) please post if you are having this problem or not.

The fastest way (which will take a while) is to:
1) Make sure you have an up to date backup with time machine.
2) Boot from your Leopard install disc or disc that came with your computer.
3) When choosing an install method you can choose an archive and install or erase and install.
4) After the OS is installed it will ask you if you want to restore files from another drive, partition, mac or time machine.
5) Choose time machine and get your files restored.
6) Once the mac is started up.
7) Go here http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosx1054comboupdate.html and download the 10.5.4 combo update.
8)You then need to use software update to install all of the updates that came after 10.5. UNCHECK the 10.5.5 Combo Update. You can even select to ignore that update by checking the box next to so that it is selected and then selecting ignore update from the update menu in the menu bar.
I have not tried using Time Machine to go back an OS version. I will experiment with that.
I can also tell you how to clone your drive to another drive using the same DVD as above and two hard drives.
I hope this helps.

Hi I have a HP Envy dv6 Laptop, and I'm wondering if I can upgrade the graphics card on here?

It has a decent graphics card but I was looking for something with slightly more kick.
Processor is: Intel Core i7-3630QM CPU@ 2.40GHz
RAM:12gb (11.9 usable)
system type: 64-bit
Graphics card I have now: Nvidia Geforce GT 650M 2gb.
Is it possible? If so you someone recommend it? Or is it not even worth the hassle?
Because it IS a laptop and idk if the graphic cards are specialized for them specifically. Any help or advice would be appreciated. Thanks!!

Well, there is no "card" as that term is understood. It is a chip built right onto the circuitry of the motherboard and cannot be replaced or upgraded. The video you have is top of the line for recent HP consumer laptops so you cannot even get an improvement from a new motherboard. No upward headroom is available. You have to think in terms of a new gaming laptop if you want performance any better than a 2 gb GT650M.

Graphics card from G4 to Mac Pro Can it be done?

I' a proud owner of a Mac Pro!
I'm tring to install the Geo Force that came with with my G4 Quicksilver in to my Mac Pro to use as a 2nd monitor,i can't figure out how to install the card somebody out there i hope knows it should be easy to pop it in.
sknoxx

You cannot use a PCI graphic card in a Mac Pro. Only PCI-Express cards may be used in the Mac Pro. The only graphic cards that you can use in the Mac Pro with OS X are those from Apple. Non-Apple provided cards will not contain the special EFI Boot ROM required to boot OS X. So the card from your G4 is not usable in the Mac Pro. However, the card that came with your computer supports dual monitors so there's really no need for a second video card.

P6310y Graphics Card Update - What I bought as an upgrade

p6310y Graphics Card Update
Hi Everyone!
I wanted to give back to the community on this one since I got such great support when I asked. I am a casual gamer, and do a little video work from time to time. Byeond that, this PC is used for web surfing, email, documents, etc. I was considering upgrading my graphcs card, which I had already upgraded to the XFX ATI 4350 1GB several years ago. When I posted the question, Big Dave was especially helpful and suggested that I look at the MSI nVidia N750 TI or TF. They both looked like great choices, but were both north of $100 which I had set as a limit. ( At some point, you just have to consider upgrading the desktop ) I went to my local Tiger Direct and found what has turned out to be a great solution! I bought a Zotac nVidia GeForce GT 730 2 GB. ( Zotac GT730 LP 2GB 64 bit DDR3 ) I used the FireStorm software ( included with the card ) to overclock it just a little, and it has turned out to be great! It was about $75, and has allowed me to play World of Tanks with much higher settings while maintaining good FPS ( frames per second ).
I hope that helps some of you that are still using this quite capable desktop if you are looking for an upgrade.

Here is one for you!

Incorrect graphics card info. with regards to win 10 upgrade

Hi trying to register for win 10 upgrade, m/c has radeon hd 3400 card, this shows in device manager, and on specs shown by HP support assistant. The win 10 app, keeps telling me I am incompatible because the Nvidia Geforce 6150se nforce 430 is not supported, which is the onboard graphics. I have uninstalled this nvidia software, and set bios to use the radeon as primary graphics, any ideas pleasethanks

Hi: If you are willing to roll the dice, see if this works... Try the direct download and immediate upgrade method. http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10 I would think that you can use the W7 32bit nForce 430 chipset driver, that it might work. You may have to manually install the driver if the auto install method doesn't work. W7 32 bit chipset driver... http://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/14874/en-us While I am not employed by, nor do I represent HP, I can almost guarantee you that no one is going to develop W8.1 or W10 drivers for that chipset or graphics adapter. You would have to roll back to W7 if the above suggestion doesn't work. Here's how to roll back... http://www.askvg.com/how-to-restore-previous-windows-version-after-upgrading-to-windows-10/

GRAPHICS CARD: detected AMD 11.1 drivers, please upgrade to 11.7 ERROR!. APPLE BOOTCAMP.

Hello folks I'm a gamer and recently I had bought BF3 when I try to launch the application it says:
"Detected AMD Radeon driver version 11.1. The recommended driver version is 11.7. Please update drivers at http://www.amd.com/ before playing this game."
So I, "try," updating the drivers
1. AMD.com
2. Clicked on Support & Drivers.
3. Component Category: MAC Graphics, Product Line: Apple Boot Camp, Product Model: MacBook Pro, Operating System: Windows 7 - 64 Bit
4. Then I click on View Results and it takes me here:http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/Pages/bootcamp-win7.aspx
5. There's only one result, version #8.812. ( Which is the version I already have; 11.1 )
So I try re-downloading that, installing it, it tells me it installed fine, but when I try to run the game it gives me the same error, as it's still 11.1. What can I do? Thanks.
P.S. I know there are a bunch of threads around here like this, thing is none of them really have any solutions.
Extra info: It's MacBookPro 15 in.
I have even tried going to control panel > Adjust Screen Resolution > Advance settings> properties > Drivers > Update Drivers > Search online for software > and it comes out that I'm completely up to date on my AMD Radeon HD6770M. I think it's something with bootcamp maybe they need an update or something. Please leave your solutions below. I will try anything at this point.

This will guide you how to do it, should take you 5-10 minutes to update.
NOTE
Dont update the drivers by running the installer, just open 'start' > my computer (right click > manage) > device manager > select GPU > right click properties > update drivers, select drivers from location then select the driver folder you just downloaded
This will allow you to update.

Can graphic card on Satellite A100-386 be replaced/upgraded?

Hi all,
Having probably heat problem with my satellite a100, I ran to the point were the screen remains dark and ... no boot at all !
All was cleaned inside for the dust, thermal pate applied on the three places needed.
Some months ago, I put 2 RAM at 2Go to boost it a bit : it was fine till some days with instant shuts down after about an hour to the great end : no more boot with no bip, nothing on except the fan and the led power.
Opening it, I saw the thing near the fan that could be the video card which seems to be removable, pretty rare isn't it ?
If it's really remplaceable, do I have to find the exact same, nvidia geforce Go 7300 Tc, said on specs, or is there the possibility to put there a better card ?
As far as I know, one does not reserve an emplacement for a removeable part if there is no way with the others parts of the computer to change it (compatibility), unless it's for cost reasons...
Thanks for help

Thanks guys,
What about the probability to have an answer from the "official" repair service of toshiba as there's no more guarantee and the product discontinued ?
I found a card on ebay and on an another site, the possibility stands there, if needed !
I also was surprised with the no bip, and what do you mean by "it sounds as BIOS problem" ? motherboard dead ?
How to access to BIOS without screen ?
Can I try to power on with the gpu removed to test if bips come without crashing the motherboard ?
I apologize for my english french-thinked before written, due to the lack of practice !!
Is there a way to ensure which one, from the motherboard or the gpu is dead ?
HDD was tested several times on other computers and is ok, same for the RAM.
Could removing the CMOS-battery for some times can be helpful, in the case of gpu not faulty ?

I am running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and was wondering if I can upgrade to the upcoming Mtn Lion OSX, or do I need to upgrade to Lion first.

I am currently running Snow Leopard OSX 10.6.8 on an iMac. Was wondering if I have to
upgrade to Lion OSX before upgrading to Mountain Lion OSX or can I just jump to Mountain Lion?

No one in these forums know the answer to that. We will all have to wait and see what the requirements are.

Installing 2 AMD Radeon HD 7450 graphics cards in my pc

I have a second AMD Radeon HD 7450 graphics card and am wondering if it can be installed in my p7-1459 to imporve gaming performance. If it can, can you also direct me to installation procedures.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

The simple answer is "NO". There is no place to insert the card. Here is the motherboard, and the card. The motherboard has only 1 graphic PCIEx16 slot, and 3 PCIEx1 slots.
In the example below, the 4 pin ATX plug is marked. Below that is the longer PCIEx16 slot, followed by 3 PCIEx1's.
