Is my graphics card soldered to my motherboard

I wanted to know if my HP ProBook 450 G1 has a built in graphics card that is soldered to it permanantly. It uses an intel inside core i5-4200M CPU.

Hi:
Yes it is.
It is not a removable 'card.'
It is a GPU chip which is part of the motherboard.

Is my ATI Radeon 3100 Graphics card wielded to the MotherBoard?...

Hello guys, I was just needing to know if my ATI Radeon 3100 Graphics card wielded to the MotherBoard, the reason I'm asking is BC I'm needing to upgrade my Video Card to NVidia so that I can get 60 FPS in my Games, right now I'm getting half that which is 30 FPS and sometimes it drops to 4 FPS. LOL can you believe that?, 4 FPS LMAO come on man, somethings gotta be better than ATI Radeon 3100....Hope to hear from you...

I'm just not sure what is going on - that error is what Mac Mini's and others with onboard video have when they try to run FCE/FCP, and there is a workaround mentioned here:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=1609878
Of course, your MBP has the ATI card, not onboard video.
I did a clean install of FCE 3 HD ( PPC ) and then upgraded immediately to FCE 3.5 HD ( Universal ) and have experienced no problems with it.

Graphics card for intel DG965RY motherboard

Hi All,
I would like to purchase a graphics card for my Intel DG965RY motherboard.
What GPU/graphics card is compatible for Intel DG965RY MB?
Please help.
Thanks

Hello,
this forum is dedicated to MSI Retail products only. That is why we do generally not allow topics that deal with mainboards of other manufacturers. Nobody here can give you much advice on compatibility questions regarding a specific Intel Board anyway.
The best thing for you to do is to look for help in a forum for Intel products or in a general hardware forum. Or perhaps you can contact Intel directly whether or not there are any known compatibility problems with certain video cards.

Msi-6714 motherboard trying to install new graphics card

can anyone help me
i have tried installing an ati radeon 9600 graphics card on my msi motherboard and it wont take it
it will find it in bios but as soon as it boots in to windows it throws it out
the motherboard currently has onboard graphics which i have tried disableing but still cannot get the card to work
know the card is ok as it has been tested on another machine
yours hopefully

Normally, on-board VGA should get disabled when inserting a Graphiccard in AGP slot.
If not, this is done in bios.
According to your info, Looks like the Powersupply could be the issue.
Even if you don´t have the latest highperformance components, you still need at least some 400w with 18amp on the 12v line and 28amp on the 3,3v / 30amp on the 5v.
If it still not working you could remove PC powercable and clear CMOS jumper on MoBo ( read manual )
Please make full system spec incl. Powersupply.
There are some differant models of MS6714 MoBo´s.
Read between PCI slots on MoBo.

Question about graphics card and motherboard

My laptop is a dv6500 CTO. I have the geforce 8400M GS video/graphics card in my laptop. Recently I was playing a game and my computer locked up. I restarted my computer and had a message from Windows 7 saying my graphics card stopped working. I than checked my device manager and it said the card was working properly. Well now it dies if I am watching a video, playing any game it lasts for about 5 mins.
I than went to the device manager and disable my card. Before my card was disabled, I was still able to loud windows fine. This is where I have my biggest question. If I disable my card, than why is it that I can still use my computer? Does the motherboard have a small chipset for video besides the graphics card? Is this graphics card welded on the motherboard or can I replace it?
I always thought on laptops the graphics card was part of the motherboard and if it went out than my screen would go out and that would be the end of it. Is that not true? Thanks for the help.

Here are the specs for your HP Pavilion p6-2371ea Desktop Computer. According to the specs, this model shipped with Windows 8 and a 300 watt power supply. To use the GTX 650 Ti you will need to upgrade the power supply to a 500 watt or 600 watt unit. The Corsair CX500 and CX600 are known to fir most HP comsumer desktop computer cases and come highly recommended. The next thing you need to do is DISABLE "Secure Boot" and ENABLE "Legacy Support" in the BIOS. Doing these things should resolve your issue.
See THIS similar HP forum thread for conformation of your issue.

T43, Upgrading motherboard/graphic card

Hello,
I want to upgrade my T43
It is a 2668-CTO if that helps
When I check the computer itself it tells me it has a Intel(R) M Processor 2.00 GHz
The memory is 1020mb and the processor type is a X86 Family6 Model 13 Stepping 8 GenuineIntel ~ 1995mhz
i would like to make it capable of playing graphics intensive games like Runes of Magic, a bit like WOW, without getting lags.
I would also like to be able to use a controller instead of the keyboard interface.
Is it possible to add more memory and would that make it work better?
Or would I need , and is it possible to, change the motherboard and the graphic card?
Apparently the graphics card is an ATI Mobility Radeon X300
I would be grateful for any help.
I love my T43 and am very happy with it for most things, would just like to improve it's gameplay
Thanks very much
Gay Elston

1. There is no better graphics card that you can add aftermarket, as the CPU is physically soldered to the motherboard.
2. Upgrading memory may help, depends on how short of ram your laptop is? How much ram usage do you get when you play the WOW? i.e. 70% you can check by pressing ctrl + alt + del.

The Crew –Racing with Your Coolest MSI Gaming Motherboard and Graphics Card

Most gaming fans are crazy about racing games, and there is a new game title just launched to fulfill gamers’ dream. We want to share with you the experience from Taiwan user who assembles a rig with a brand new MSI Z97 Gaming 5 motherboard and 960 graphics card, along with a hardware and game (The Crew) benchmarks. You may find the original article from:
https://forum-tc.msi.com/index.php?topic=113352.0
The Crew - Launch Trailer
PC configuration:
CPU: Intel i5-4670K
RAM: Avexir DDR3-1600 8G*2
VGA: MSI GTX960 GAMING 2G
SSD: Kingston HyberX 3K SSD 240G
CPU Cooler: SilverStone AR01
The MSI Z97 Gaming 5 motherboard box
Overview of the motherboard: Black and Red color scheme, it’s also the favorite color combination from MSI’s user reservation.
The PCI-E slots and bandwidth are enough for a two-way SLI setting.
Killer Ethernet, outstanding performance on internet access, especially reduce the lag issue.
The new arrival MSI GTX960 GAMING 2G graphics card
New cooling design: ZeroFrozr
The dragon symbol on LED panel
With MSI Gaming series motherboard plus graphics card, you can enable a Gaming App to overclock CPU and GPU. There are 3 modes to choose.
6-month free trail of the XSplit game caster software, free bundled with MSI gaming motherboard and graphics card
Done with assembling, quiet nice color combination and clean cable arrangement.
An overview of the very gaming look system.
Some benchmark results before racing with The Crew.
CPU and GPU info on CPU-Z and GPU-Z applications:
3DMark Fire Strike score: 6441
3DMark Fire Strike Extreme score: 3384
3DMark Fire Strike Ultra score:1262
The excel performance proof the brand new 960 graphics card comes with good a high Cost/Performance Value.
Now, check out this test benchmark score of the renowned game “The Crew”.
The game presents an ultra-quality display, 60 Frames Per Second (FPS)
FPS: Average frames is at:
Frames: 3859 - Time: 76828ms - Avg: 50.229 - Min: 43 - Max: 56
The comments of the game for your reference:
There are many types of missions that can be chosen from the America’s map.
Street racing, high-speed collision, breakaway from police, sky jumps, zigzagging, etc… make the game quite dynamic.
Now, when it comes to multi-player matches, the performance has exceeded expectations. Perhaps, it is the killer Ethernet that’s working the magic. Thus, this game is highly recommended if you have the right rig.
The downside is that the display intricacy is not as refined as GTA V and in addition, the game FPS is limited at 60 FPS. However, the overall gaming flow and performance is better than good.
The user's comment for using MSI Gaming 5 motherboard and 960 graphics card:
(The following commends are translated from user’s article, does not represent the viewpoint of MSI) ^^
Recently, MSI GTX 960 just launched so the initial price tag is still adjustable.
According to the current product line, it seems like this GPU is going to replace 750Ti. So once all the stocks (750Ti) at the store empties, we are most likely to see a price drop on GTX960.
Once the price hits the sweet spot, it’s time to try out GTX960 SLI’s performance.
The CP value on MSI GTX960 and GAMING 5 MB is pretty high. But the XSplit software that comes with the product is a bit annoying since the authentication steps are divided into 2 parts to go through for using it.
Enough said, anyways, GAME ON!

NVIDIA 960 card + GAMING 5 motherboard = best bundle for budget gaming!
it would be nice to see more testing of hardware-demanding games!

PCI-E 2.1 X16 Graphics card on MSI K9A2VM-FD motherboard

Hi,
I recently bought an AMD Radeon 6870 graphics card to upgrade my aging machine. The card is a PCI-E 2.1 X16 card and unfortunately does not work with my current motherboard.
I was recently looking at the MSI K9A2VM-FD motherboard as a possible replacement that would work with my new graphics card. In the specs the board is said to have 1 PCI-E 2.0 X16 slot. I just wanted to check if this board will work with the card or not?
Any help on this front would be much appreciated. I am a uni student with limited funds from a part time job and, as a result, I can't afford to spend money just to find it doesn't work again.
Thanks in advance for your help

Thanks for your reply Whilst I acknowledge I don't have that much time for gaming, once in a while isn't going to hurt and I do need to relax sometimes
I've already bought the HD6870, so choice of card isn't the issue. I have a 700w PSU which I have tested using a friend's old board with the new HD6870 card and it worked fine, so I definitely know that the PSU is fine and that the card works. I have a foxconn A7VMX-K at the moment and updated to the latest bios to see if that sorted the issue. However this didn't work.
I am now in the market for a new board and was looking at the MSI K9A2VM-FD board. It says it has a PCI-E 2.0 X16 slot on the specs of the seller's site and on most other sites. On some it just says that it is version 2.0 compliant, which is a bit confusing. I just wondered if anyone could tell me whether the HD6870 (PCI-E 2.1 X16) would work on this board (PCI-E 2.0 X16)? Many thanks

Official list of supported graphics cards for HP IPISB-CH2 motherboard

Hi,
Is there any official list of supported graphics cards for HP motherboards (specifically HP IPISB-CH2 (Chicago))?
I've been trying to upgrade my graphics for MSI GTX 960, but found out the MB's BIOS (v. 7.12) is incompatible and there's no BIOS upgrade available that would solve this problem. I have returned the 960 and wanted to try the GTX 660, but a few people told me they've also been having BIOS compatibility issues with this one.
The only info I found was that the MB "Supports PCI Express x16 graphics cards" (source: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c02854392 ) - which is a very insufficient description (as the GTX 960 meets it and doesn't work anyway).

Hi,
There are three versions of the motherboard, in the official web site can see that detail parts, desktops using IPISB-CH2 (Chicago) from factory, and video cards are installed on them.
Another thing to keep in mind is that if the graph is more powerful requiring a power of more watts.

Asus Gforce 4 graphics cards & K7T motherboards

I have a 1.3GHz Athlon running on a MSI K7T Turbo Vers3.0 motherboard.
I am trying to get my Asus Gforce 4 128Mb graphics card to work on with it. It will handle 2D graphics fine but when you try to get it to do any 3D graphics it crashes the program or resets the computer. Very strange problem.

Hi,
Powersupply to small to handle the card?
