  • HP ENVY 17t Quad-j000 I Want To Play FIFA 15

    I Have A HP ENVY 17t Quad-j000 With Windows 8.1
    (Product name: HP ENVY 17 Notebook PC)
    (Product number: C8U19AV)
    (OS: Windows 8.1 Pro with Media Center 64-bit)
    (Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4800MQ CPU @ 2.70GHz)
    (Graphics Device #1 NVIDIA GeForce GT 740M)
    (Graphics Device #2 and Primary Display Intel(R) HD Graphics 4600)  
    My PC Is Equipped With To GPUs One from Intel (Intel HD Graphics 4600) and NVIDIA (NVIDIA GeForce GT 740M 2GB DDR3)
     I Like To Play FIFA 15 But I’m Having Problems When I Play FIFA 15 Threw NVIDIA I Only Get About 15Fps How Could I Get The Game To Run Faster? I Would Like To
    Get It To Run On High Settings At 1600x900 Around 30Fps Would I Be Able To Do That?
    My Other Question Is NVIDIA Optimus I Don’t like It and I Was Wounding If I Could Disable It? and Have NVIDIA Run My Computer, the Ports like HDMI and My Internal Display

    FIFA 15 minimum video card is a GeForce 650 GTX. You have a 740M
    Let's look at the comparison:
    http://gpuboss.com/gpus/GeForce-GTX-650-vs-GeForce-GT-740M
    It is close but the 650 GTX is maybe 15-20% faster. So you are trying to play the game with a video card 15-20% less powerful than the MINIMUM requirement. Therefore you get 15 fps. 20 fps would be minimum. To get 30 fps you would need the recommended card which is a GTX 460. Compared here:
    http://gpuboss.com/gpus/GeForce-GTX-460-v2-vs-GeForce-GT-740M
    The gap is even greater. So you are getting about all you are going to get out of a 740M video card. If you want to game better you need a better computer.

  • Where are the left and right action buttons on the touchpad on the HP ENVY 17t Quad TouchSmart

    My new HP ENVY 17t Quad TouchSmart laptop has a touchpad, but no left or right action buttons.  How do I simulate their action.  Apparently a single tap simulates a left click, but how do I get a right click?  How do I drag a cell in a spreadsheet (to copy it) using the touchpad?  I may have to end up using a mouse.

    I believe that model features a ClickPad, which doesn't have distinct left/right-click buttons but does have left/right-click areas where the buttons would normally be. See Using and Configuring the ClickPad for more info.

  • HP ENVY 17t Quad - SD Card Reader - can it utilize an SDXC Card

    I have the H Envy 17t Quad . Can it properly and safely utilize an SDXC Card?
    My specific specs are at bottom of posting.
    I have looked thru the Maintenance and Service Guide and cannot find any info regarding the SD card reader specs.
    My Camcorder uses an SDXC  64 Gb card. I don't want to put the card into the 17T reader if it can't read the SDXC card since there is a potential for the SDXC card to be damaged by a reader which can't properly access an SDXC card.

    Good Morning mykejb,
    As I stated your specifications do not state the exact cards it supports.  I regret that  I am unable to give you a yes or no answer.
      If you check around the card reader itself, sometimes on the bottom of the notebook, it will list the supported card types.  If not all I can suggest is try and see.   If it seems if the card is too small for the slot, you may need an adapter for an SDXC card.
    Here is a link to SD/SDHC/SDXC Specifications and Compatibility( from scan disk support).  Please note this quote"NOTE: Internal card readers on laptops from 2008 and prior may NOT support SDXC cards. SDXC cards will work in SDHC compatible readers (not SD readers) if the computer OS supports exFAT. For more information on exFat see: Operating Systems that support the exFAT File System"

  • HP ENVY 17T QUAD

    Can I use an external add on keyboard with this laptop?
    Thanks for the help

    If by that you mean a usb or bluetooth keyboard; absolutely yes. You can go into power settings, look for "what happens when I close the lid" set it to "do nothing" on battery and AC power, hook up an external monitor, and a usb keyboard and mouse and use the laptop as a CPU like a desktop or keep the screen open and use the laptop screen as a second display. 

  • HP Envy 17T Hinge

    When I open/close the laptop I feel the left back side shifting.  It looks like the hinge is shifting and then separating part of the upper case from the lower case.   I can push the pieces back in place but the next time I open/close the case the same thing happens. 
     I received the laptop in April 2014.  What steps do I need to take to get this repaired under warranty. 
    This is a HP ENVY 17t Quad TouchSmart Product number: E2E11AV.

  • HP ENVY 17T - J100 I NED TO REPLACE THE MAIN HDD TO SSD

    I was just wanting to confirm that with the HP ENVY 17T J100 model can upgrade it's HDD to SSD? This model has the 1TB HDD. If I simply clone the HDD to an SSD of the same size.  will it work? Or is there more complex setup to get the raid working between SSD/SSD rather than SSD/HDD?
     also i try with 120 ssd and it didnt work. if i change the main 1 TB HDD to 1 tb SSd can i use the recovery disks to return all the windows as factory with the SSD or not and why if not
    Thanks for your time!

    Hi @sherifmadkour
    I understand you are looking at replacing your HDDs in your notebook with SSDs. I can help you with your question.
    Please see the following for your notebook family which shows the supported components.
    HP ENVY 17 Notebook PC HP ENVY TouchSmart m7 Notebook PC HP ENVY TouchSmart 17 Notebook PC Maintenan...
    You can find the drive list in the product description section,  and also under the Hard Drive list, in Component replacement procedures.
    Anything outside of that list would not have been tested with the other hardware, and so is unexplored territory. It is one of those things where if a device has different current requirements, it can put strain on the other hardware or an issue of driver compatibility.

  • HP Envy 17T OS

    I have recently purchased a HP Envy 17T Quad Laptop (non-touch) .  The computer comes with Windows 8.1 OS.  I would like to use Windows 7 instead.  Do you have a preconfigured disc that will work on my computer for Windows 7?  I haven't used the computer yet, so if this isn't available I may need to return it and purchase something else that I can get Windows 7 for.

    Hi,
    Please check our dicussion on the following post:

  • Hp Envy 17t-j100 Quad Edition Notebook PC Graphics Card Upgrade

    I bought the Hp Envy 17t-j100 Quad Edition Notebook PC a while back and i was wondering if i could upgrade the graphics card on it. When you buy the laptop if gives you an option, you can either buy the Intel Deticated Graphics or the Nvidia Geforce GT 740 and i decided to buy the Nvidia GT 740 because i heard the integrated graphics were not that good for playing games. So i was wondering if i could somehow take out the NVidia Geforce GT 740 and replace with a better graphics card, Would that be possible?
    Thanks

    Sorry; no dice. The video card is soldered to the motherboard. The point-of-sale options are for laptops with different motherboards. Buying a laptop is like buying a house: think about what you need now and in the future because they are not easy to change.

    Will adding a small SSD to boot from in the second bay add any benefits to the current configuration to help get the CPU speed I overlooked or add the i7-4900MQ Processor later when the cost comes down?

  • Would like to upgrade WLAN on HP Envy 17t-j100 Quad

    Sorry if this is a repeat question.  Can I upgrade the wireless LAN card for this laptop to support 5Ghz standard?  Even though this is a b/g/n card, it wil not recognize the 5Ghz band from my Netgear AC1450...it's obviously not dual band.
    it came with the Realtek RTL8188EE 802.11bgn Wi-Fi Adapter.  Great laptop so far but this issue is a bit disappointing.
    if it is upradeable, what does HP offer that is compatible.
    HP Envy 17t-j100 Quad 

    Hi:
    Yes, the Realtek RTL8188EE 802.11bgn is only a single band (2.4 GHz) wireless N card.
    It appears that HP has removed the BIOS whitelist on these newer models so you should be able to install any wireless card you want in that model.
    Chapter 3 of the service manual lists the cards that HP supports with the part numbers.
    http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c04091762.pdf
    I would make sure your current card has 2 antenna leads attached to it.
    I have heard on some models, (not necessarily yours) that on some of those low end cards, there is only 1 antenna in the PC.
    That could be a problem (unless you don't mind tearing the whole notebook and display apart to add the additional antenna).

  • Envy 17t-j000 GPU Upgrade

    So I have a recently purchased HP Envy 17t-j000. I have the NVIDIA GeForce GT 740M. What I want to know is if I can upgrade this dedicated GPU through my own efforts. Otherwise, is it possible to give HP Support a call (or whomever I would call for this purpose) and return the laptop to replace my GPU with the very recently added option of the NVIDIA GT 750M. It would only be a $20 difference so I don't see there being a problem in doing so. Please advise.

    It is a big deal because it would require a new motherboard. There is no other way to upgrade the GPU and if the GT 750M was just introduced I doubt it will be easy to get one of those motherboards for a while.

  • HP Envy 17t-100 quad

    I just spent 60 minutes of my life online with tech support trying to get bluetooth to work on my brand spanking new laptop which by the way I upgraded with a faster processor, better display, larger hard drive and more ram.  The first tech told me after 35 minutes to google the problem.  I told him that is why I called him, I tried google for over an hour trying to solve/figure out what the problem was myself.  This included using HP support website.  I then asked to speak to his supervisor, 20 minutes later I was able to speak to Luie.  After taking my serial number and model number, which I had already given to the previous tech, he put me on hold.  When he came back he told me that my computer was not configured for bluetooth.  When I told him that I wanted to send it back I was put on hold again while he checked to see if there was one they could send me.  He came back and said they only had a 15" that could ship tomorrow.  I declined.  While I was on hold I did find where bluetooth is a $10 option.  Really?!  I pay extra for a souped up laptop and they leave this out?  I guess I'm behind the times, but when doesn't a computer have bluetooth capabiltites?!  I asked for the supervisor to have his supervisor call me in the morning. He said he would try,  I won't hold my breath.

    Hi,
    Many machines do not have BT even new one. Remember few years back, I had to add BT modul and it was only $7.80 at that time. Back to your machine, I don't know. But the following specs is the machine which I'm using now, it's only 5 days old and it does not have BT:
