Hi,
No, you can't upgrade the graphics chip as it's a shared Intel graphics. You couldn't also upgrade a dedicated graphics like nVidia or ATI ones as it is soldered to the motherboard. The only way how to upgrade a graphics chip on a laptop like this is to replace the motherboard by a compatible one with a more powerful chip on it.

Is it possible to upgrade/add a graphics card to a Pavilion dv7-7000 laptop?

I've been doing a lot of research lately, to mostly no avail, about whether or not my HP Pavilion dv7-7025dx laptop can have a dedicated GPU added to it, as currently it only has the integrated Intel HD 4000 Mobile graphics card.
Mostly I've come across the unfortunate agreement that most laptops cannot have their graphics cards upgraded/swapped out, since the graphics card is soldered on to the motherboard. However, after talking to an HP "support representative", they said they believed it was possible to add a graphics card, as long as it is compatible with the HM77 45W UMA Motherboard my computer has.
Furthermore, after finding the maitenence and service manual online for my computer ( http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c03221579.pdf ) it says that it could have come with switchable graphics, specifically the Nvidia Geforce 630M or 650M.
So I am wondering, is it really at all possible to add a dedicated graphics card, either by having switchable graphics or something else? Or am I stuck with the integrated Intel HD graphics?
If I can upgrade/add a new card, where would I be able to find/buy a compatible one, and would I be able to install it myself or would I need to go to a local computer repair?
My laptop is the HP Pavilion dv7-7025dx Entertainment Notebook.
It has an Intel Core i7- 3610QM CPU @ 2.30 GHz, 8GB memory, 750GB hard drive (5400 rpm).

Hi,
You can't add a dedicated graphics card to the system like this. The vga is soldered to the board so no way you can just plug it in like on a desktop. However, you can buy a new motherboard with the dedicated graphics card on it. It also requires a new heat sink.
Manual: http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c03221579.pdf
You need a 682040-001 board plus 682061-001 heat sink to have a dedicated graphics card on your laptop. Have a look on ebay for the part numbers.

You're very welcome.
I am not a PC repair tech by trade or training.
Other than the replacement motherboard, and fan and heatsink combination, I wouldn't know if any other parts are required.
The parts you need are listed in chapter 3 of the service manual with the part numbers.
I also don't know if the boards come with the windows 8 product key included in the BIOS.
There may be multiple motherboards listed, so make sure you get the right one.
Same for the fan and heatsink.

Is it possible to upgrade or exchange graphic card on Satellite A200?

Some one please tell me if its possible to install anther graphics card in my laptop.I have a Satellite *A200-1Z3* which has an on board display adapter (MOBILE INTEL (R)965 Express Chipset Family).

Unfortunately something like this is not possible. The graphic card is part of mainboard. If the graphic card is defective the whole mainboard must be exchanged.
Sorry buddy but there is nothing to do.

Are there any ways to upgrade the graphics card on a sony vaio laptop?

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Pretty much if you have to ask, the answer is no.
For those laptops that allow it (and "Sony Vaio" isn't specific enough to determine this, an exact model number and current configuration would be needed.), it's usually a difficult and expensive procedure that WILL void your warranty (unlike desktop video card upgrades).
If it has Intel GMA graphics, 100% are non-upgradeable.
If it has discrete graphics (ATI or NVidia), there's a slight chance but it's getting more and more rare. In general, if multiple video card options were offered at purchase time for a system, it is possible to upgrade from the lower options to higher ones at a later date for significant expense. The exception being systems that offered Intel GMA or other options - the GMA-based systems usually use a different motherboard than the other options (This was the case with the Dell E1705 series.)

Satellite L300-1AM PSLBGE - Cannot install the graphic card driver

Hello everyone.
I have a big problem with my notebook concerning the video driver.

I've taken all the drivers from toshiba site but i've encountered a problem regarding the graphic driver.
When enter setup it starts and them it gives me an error "This computer does not meet the minimum requirements for installing the software. Setup will exit". Need to say that before the boot i had Vista also and it worked.
So can you please help me because i don`t know what do to..
i`ve tried all possibilities
Thank you very much
Teodora

Hi
I can not understand this.
The unit supports the Intel GL40 graphic chipset.
The Intel driver from the Toshiba page should be ok
In readme.txt file you can find exact the same info which has been posted by Paolo30.
1. Click "Start" then right click on "Computer" button and then choose Manage.
2. Permit the User Account Control to run by selecting the "continue" button. When the Computer Management window opens select the "device manager" icon. (NOTE: IF UPDATING DRIVER GO TO STEP 3B)
3a. Double click "Video Controller (VGA Compatible)". (Go To STEP 4)
3b. Select "Display adapters" then Double click on the graphics controller
shown.
4. Click on "driver" tab and select "Update Driver".
5. Select the following option: "Browse my computer for driver software".
6. Select the following option: "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer".
7. Click on the "Have Disk..." button and then the "Browse" button.
8. Enter the directory where you unzipped the file you downloaded, and then enter the "Graphics" subdirectory. Locate and highlight the "igdlh.INF" (if 32-bit) or "igdlh64.INF" (if 64-bit). Click on the "Open" button.
9. Click on the "OK" button. A window listing all of the available display types should open. Select the display adapter that your system contains and then click on the "Next" button.
10. Click on the "Next" button. The operating system will install the driver. Click on the "Finish" button when done.
11. Click on the "Close" button and then click on the "Yes" button to reboot. The driver should now be loaded.

Upgrade of the graphic card.

My laptop hp pavilliong6 notebook
intel core i3 2350m [email protected] ghz
ram 2 gb
hard disk 500 gb
graphic device radeon(tm) hd 7450m
i want to know that can i upgrade it or not as when i play games like transformer fall of cybertron on low setting it crashes and message comes game stopped responding and when i play games like roller coaster tycoon it works very good. can graphic card be upgraded/changed, or is there some other problem
thank u.

Sorry but there is no upgrading the graphics on your computer. The systemboard contains the HD 7450M graphics adapter. As the system has HP "switchable graphics", the control settings or drivers may not be correct. This AMD High-Definition (HD) Graphics Driver (includes AMD driver, Intel driver, and CCC control panel) is the most current listed for your computer. Try to use drivers directly from AMD or Intel may cause issues. Please see "Switchable Graphics on Notebooks Configured with Intel and AMD/ATI GPUs" for an overview of settings and graphics mode available.

Possible to upgrade my Nvidia Graphics Card on my Mid 2014 Macbook Pro?

I purchased a mid 2014 Macbook Pro recently
and it has a NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M.
I was curious if it were possible to upgrade this to a better card?

Thank you so much.

Is it possible to upgrade the graphics card in a 2010 MBP

Thanks in advance.

Hi T,
It's soldered onto the logic board, so no go.

Is it possible to upgrade the graphics card in HP DV7-2043CL?

Hi guys,
I would like to upgrade my old laptop specs in order to improve a little bit its overall performance.
The main use is for lite-mid gaming purposes and the first thing that I wish to upgrade is the graphics card of course (currently got HD4650 in it)
The gpu is integrated with the CPU, or can I pull it out and put a new one instead?
The second thing that I'm going to add is a new SSD (129.99 bucks for the Crucial SSD - 240GB)
I don't have a large budget, so I cannot afford right now to buy a new laptop that will fit my requirements.
As for upgrading the ram from 4BG to 8GB - I saw a post here from some of the experts (Paul)
claiming that the performance difference isnt worth 200$
What do you guys think?

Hi,
Basically you can, with a cost and I believe this cost may be more expensive than buying a new computer because you have to take into account:
New card price, and WHERE you can buy it because laptop cards are not the same as desktop cards. You can't buy from any normal shop,
Need new system board (may be),
Need new cooling system because generally speaking more powerfull card pumps out more heat (you want more powerfull card don't you?).
May need new PSU because your current PSU may not suitbale to the card. (I ordered a machine with Nvidia card and I needed to order a 90W charger at the same time, not the normal 65W charger. They simply rejected my order).
Labor cost.
Many, many packets of Asprin.
For SSD, I can't see any problem with this. I actually upgraded 4 of my machines. I bought a Crucial 960Gb for the 5th machine and probably will do sometimes next week.
Hope this helps.

Dv6-6052ea (LL050EA). Can I upgrade the graphics card?

OS: Genuine Windows 7 Home Premium 64

Is there any way to ugrade the graphics card without buying a new laptop? Or allocate more dedicated RAM?
The BIOS is Insydeh20 F.1B and there are no options to alter any graphics settings. Is there any way round that?
Not that I know a lot about computer specs but the GPU seems to be the reason I can't play games on decent settings and it's driving me mad.
Cheers

Hi:
You could upgrade the video in your PC to the Radeon HD 6770 with 2 GB of dedicated memory, but the entire motherboard would have to be replaced.
The costs attendant to doing such an upgrade would exceed the cost of purchasing a new notebook with the graphics solution you were looking for, when you consider the money you may recoup selling or trading in your current model.
There are no settings in the BIOS or elsewhere to allocate a different amount of memory (dedicated or system) to the video adapter. It is all done automatically.

Can I up-grade the graphics card for my computer I got for christmas?

Hello, this christmas i got an new hp envy rove 20 k214.
I am hoping that my desktop is upgradable as what i really wanted was a pc that i could use over 5-7 years especially as my current occupation goes through some technological shifts.
I been reading up on all in on pcs. I now know that not all
in one pcs are upgradable especially the graphics cards?Some of the pcs in the envy series however do have slots for mxm graphics/video cards and/or a replacable processor card.
So, i be asking, "Is it possible for me to upgrade my new computers graphics card? Will will I need to possibly exchange this pc for another one?"

Equium A100-027: Is it possible to upgrade the graphic card?

I recently received an Equium A100-027 for my birthday. Overall I'm extremely pleased with it, however the only problem I have is with the graphics card. I am a gamer, and the graphics card just can't handle most modern games.
I am looking into how to upgrade it, how much it will cost etc. However I don't wanna buy a graphics card just to realise that the inside is locked down. Since it's only a week old I also don't want to take a hammer to it just yet ;-)
Can anyone tell me how hard it is to upgrade the graphics card? Is it locked down, or easily accessible?

Hi Emonn
Unfortunately, the graphic card upgrade is not possible. I dont know if you are familiar with the notebook technology but you should know that the graphic cards installed on the notebook motherboards are not same like the GPUs for desktop PCs.
The card a fixed and there is no way for an upgrade!!!
You can upgrade the memory modules or the HDD on the notebooks but not the graphic card!!!
Im also an gamer and Im a notebook owner but I dont use this unit for gaming but for usual usage like internet, programming, mps, etc
I have a second gaming machine and its a desktop PC. Its support a water cooling module and a really great graphic card but I will change it to the newest one NVIDIA which supports the directX10.
This is a future and all newest games will need this DrectX10!!!

Is it possible to upgrade the graphics card with my HP Envy DV7 - 7332EA

Hi all,
I was hoping someone on here may be able to answer my question. I recently purchased a refurbished laptop from certain computer retailer, an HP Envy DV7-7332ea, it is an Intel i7, 16GB RAM and was supposed to come with a 2GB Nvidia GT635M. Long story short, said pc retailer did not tell me that the fault/refurbishment was with the graphics card and despite advertising it as being installed with the GT635M, it in fact had a shared Intel graphics card installed. Long story short after some truly horrific customer service - talking to my bedroom wall would have yielded the same level of responses - they have told me that the will not be fitting the correct graphics card - when pressed for an explanation or reason for this they have been unable to give me a technical explanation.
So, I'm assuming possibly the motherboard has been replaced as well which is preventing the graphics card from being upgraded. Now I realise that there could be numerous reasons this has happened, but I was hoping someone could answer me this.
Would the artchitecture of my laptop allow for a graphics card upgrade? If the motherboard has problems and these were resolved are the Envy range generally able to be upgraded?
Thanks guys,

Hi:
Unfortunately, the only way to upgrade the graphics adapter is to replace the motherboard with one that has the better nVidia GPU.
Doing that would cost about as much as buying a new notebook with the graphics solution you wanted in the first place.
