Is it possible to change the video card of a pavilion g7-1075dx?

So, I have an HP Pavilion g7-1075dx Notebook with Windows 7. I'm an avid gamer and wish to play the newest games. However, there's one problem thats keeping me from doing so. Alot of the newer games require newer video/graphics cards. This particular laptop has an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4250. The newest games seem to require ATI Radeon HD 4850 and above. This is the only thing thats keeping me from playing games like Starcraft II on the highest settings OR in the case of Star Wars: The Old Republic, it almost keeps me from playing the game, period, due to the graphics being too much for my current card to handle, causing massive lag. I was hoping I could change the video card. Upgrade. However, i've heard that with most laptops or notebooks you can't upgrade anything other than the RAM. I'm hoping anyone on here can help me out and tell me if it is possible to get a new video card for my laptop. We don't have a desktop computer so this laptop is my only hope for a long time to play newer PC games.

Alright, let me put this in a simpler message: Does anyone know if it is possible to change the video card currently in my laptop, the HP Pavilion g7-1075dx, for a newer and better one. ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4250 to ATI Radeon HD 4850 or higher.

  • Tecra A9 - Is it possible to upgrade the video card?

    Hey there,
    I have a Tecra A9 PTS52E and it has Intel integrated graphics. I've read that this means I might not be able to upgrade to a better graphics card.
    Is this true?
    Thanks

    Hi glintings,
    > Is this true?
    Yes, its true because the graphic card is fixed on mainboard so an upgrade is not possible.

    You have intel graphics, that means the graphics cannot be upgraded.

  • Can I change the graphic card on Toshiba Satellite S55-A5295 or add more dedicated video RAM?

    Hello, I am wondering if it was possible to change my graphics card. Currently its using the basic (Intel HD Graphics 4000/Family). If thats not possible then I'd also like to know if it was possible to dedicate more video RAM since it currently has 64MB out of the total 1696 avaliable graphics memory. And before someone mentions the BIOS option sadly its not shown there. Please let me know if I have any options!

    There is no option to change the GPU on this laptop model. As per memory sharing, it is done automatically by the chipset sharing around 10-20% of the physical memory to the graphics memory.
    What will you be using the higher ram?
    Is it gaming, media editing (video / photo), or 3D editing?

  • Is it possible to change the file Kind, e.g. mkv to video and not document?

    Is it possible to change the file Kind, e.g. mkv to video and not document?
    I can't find where I can change this in Finder or OSX.  Is this really hardoded in the OS?  Get Info gives me no options, but that is where I set the default apps for file kinds (types).
    I hope this is possible because I have lot of document kinds and the arrange by kind view in Finder is thus not very useful.
    Thanks in advance.

    It has to be hard-coded in the application that claims MKV files as a type.

  • Firefox crashes when it starts. I tried to reset it; I uninstalled and reinstalled it; no way. The problems began after I changed my video card

    Crash ID: bp-1c18c383-28e4-426c-96a7-ff97e2130906
    OS: Windows 7 SP1 64bit
    I had to change my video card, immediately after this FF started crashing at start.
    The video card is a Nvidia GeForce 210.
    I tried to:
    - reset FF;
    - uninstall it, clear the register, reinstall it;
    - update Windows;
    - update the video card drivers (311.06)
    but no way.
    I can start FF in Safe Mode.
    Any help will be truly appreciated.

    I solved it by disabling hardware acceleration in FF options.
    It seems to be a conflict between FF and some Nvidia drivers.

  • Is it possible to upgrade the graphics card on a mid 2012 MacBook Pro? And is it possible to upgrade the RAM without voiding the warranty?

    Hi I was wondering if it is possible to upgrade the graphics card on a MacBook Pro and the RAM without voiding the warranty? I have a gt 650m in my MacBook Pro, non retina, and to me, its not enough power for me, so i was looking around, and I found a retailer that would give me a nvidia gtx 660m for a decent price. Also, the ram needs to be at least 12gbs, to ensure that my computer would run fast.
    If you can help, please tell me,
    Thankyou.

    No, the video card cannot be exchanged - you have a pretty decent GPU there; not sure why you'd want to switch it out. You can upgrade the RAM to a maximum of 16GBs. Apple recommends upgrading in matching pairs, so I don't really think I'd try 4GB and 8GB stick.
    Both Crucial and OWC have memory available for the new Macs. Both are reputable dealers and know Macs well and I would only buy from these sources (and I would buy Crucial, were it me).
    Although your Mac didn't come with a users manual outlining the installation of the additional RAM, you can download the late 2011 model users guide as the models themselves are almost identical.
    Good luck - write back with any questions.

  • Is It Possible To Upgrade The Graphics Card In A Late 2006 MacBook (original)?

    I have this Late 2006 Macbook, that still runs great and everything, but the only problem iv been running into, is video. So when i watch a video in QuickTime Player, or QuickView, or even YouTube, the video just randomly starts to flip out. So, is it possible to upgrade the Graphics Card?

    Sorry, not possible.

  • Is it possible to change the HD ?

    hi there
    1.8" SATA HD 5400 rpm can be now found on some websites
    i was wondering if it's possible to change the HD of the MBA rev B ?
    because even in SATA, the 4200 rpm drive is really too slow
    thx

    Yes, it's possible. Video and instructions litter the web. It's not too hard, it's just not designed for user upgrade, and it will clearly void your warranty.
    If I were you, I'd put a 128GB SSD device in it if you're concerned about speed. 1.8" 128GB SSD are showing up for reasonable prices. 64GB SSDs are downright cheap now. But in an Air, with almost no headroom and limited heat tolerances, etc., I would not put an out-of-spec drive in it. An appropriate SSD will fit the spec.

    Hi Lionel,
    As a general rule of thumb, the ATI Rage 128 Pro will not support a 20" LCD. That being said, there are reports of it doing just that (possibly the edition that went into the cube).
    I'm not that familiar with the ins and outs of the Cube, so I can't give you authoritative information on it.

  • ITunes U can not change the video view size to 1x

    After updating to iOS 6, I realised that the iTunes U video play can only display the maximal size view which makes the video quality very poor and there isn't any way for to change the video to 1x size. I wonder if anyone has found a solution for this issue yet. Thank you and look forward to hearing answers about this issue.

  • Possible to change the front and back speaker volume ?

    Hello, as it says in the topic, i was wondering if it is possible to change the volume of the front and the back speakers (the same way it is possible to change the volume of the center speaker).
    If anyone could tell me wether this is possible at all i would largely appreciate.

    The older Mac Pros had a separate board for the front panel connectors. Looking at pictures of the 2009 Mac Pro back-plane board I can't see any soldered on connectors. Based on the link below for an older Mac Pro it looks like it could be as easy as making a cable to replace the front panel board USB cable with one that could connect to a USB PCIe card (when they are available for Macs).
    http://ep.yimg.com/ca/I/lovemacs2113427757506
    Edit: Assuming that there is no additional circuitry on the front panel board that has to be USB3 compliant.
    Edit (again): I missed the fact that USB3 uses a different connector so you would have to replace the entire board with one that has USB3 connectors on it. It is unlikely Apple or even a third party would make one.

  • Is it possible to change the automatically set image on the new iMovie Theater title screen?

    I made a few movies on the new iMovies 2013 then uploaded into iTheater. I love the software and its ease of use. However, I noticed iTheater automatically sets the title image. Similar to youtube, iTheater probably uses the video mid point image as default. Is it possible to change the set image on iTheater?

    Unfortunately, no.
