It is possible to install a graphics card for the hp touchsmart iq504 series?

Hey folks I've had my pc for awhile now. According to the datasheet it saids that a graphics card can be upgraded but the power supply may need to also be upgraded check with the company of the graphics card. So i tried email hp but no answer on the question. Im thinking of trying to get either a ati radion 4270 512 mb card or nvida if its allowed. Mostly from online search through google many folks say its upgradeable but when gaming it acts more like a laptop their for performance is horrible. Is this true? I've tried to install games on my laptop that has a radion hd 4250 graphics card but gaming just doesnt add up the same as a desktop. So if anybody has some opinions or tips that could help me in area would gladly appreciate it.
Thanks hp fan gmoney38

The graphics in the IQ5xx series can not be upgraded in the way you're thinking, the Touchsmart line does indeed resemble a laptop more than a desktop.
In general the opinion is that it is not worth persuing a graphics update for these products.

    hi joejee,
    Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
        I'm afraid that this is not  possible, The system's Mainboard is much of a Laptop design where Upgrade is very limited.

  • Graphics card for the H500s 8GB Ram desktop.

    Hello!
    I have never done this before, so excuse me if I seem a bit newb-ish.
    I'm looking to get a graphics card for the h500s desktop, which already has Intel HD 4000 integrated graphics, as shown here. I have the Intel Pentium J2900 CPU and a Lenovo motherboard. I opened up the PC today and it has one PCIe slot available for the graphics card. I know that on that datasheet it says that there is an 'up to' when it comes to graphics cards, but I want to know if these cards are compatible and will work without changing any power adapter.

  • Is it possible to add a graphics card to the back of my HP

    Hello  I want to know if it's possible to add a new graphics card to the back of a Laptop not inside of it but on the back of my laptop ???  my graphics Card is a Intel 4000 graphics card is a terrible for gaming TERRIBLE !!!  

    Not sure where it would go on the back, but no the system is closed. There is no place to insert a graphics card or attach it. You will find some hokey stuff on the internet where people say you can plug a video card in the wireless card slot but those are a hoax at worst and at best they do not tell you that such a thing would not even perform as well as what you have and is likely to damage the motherboard. 

  • Best graphics card for the MAC Pro 4,1

    I am using the 4870 card, but, is there a better graphics card for doing photography with Adobe CS5 Extended and Lightroom 3?
    Thank you.

    While recently discontinued, you can probably get your hands on an nVidia GTX 285 fairly easily. It's not only faster than your Radeon HD4870, it has double the video memory, and more importantly it's on the shortlist of cards that are support hardware acceleration of the Mercury Playback Engine in Adobe CS5. That's a HUGE feature, if you use Premiere or After Effects, it's probably worth the price of admission right there. I've got one in my machine, works wonders. Aside from a zippy system, lots of basic stuff that used to have to be rendered in order to preview no longer require it.
    The nVidia Quadro FX 4800 is also a bigger/faster card, and provides even more powerful support for the Mercury Playback Engine in CS5, but it's also vastly more expensive. As I type this the price is $1799 at Apple, and $1399 most everywhere else (Apple store managers, if you're seeing this you might want to check for a price drop).
    That's the current max, but it's possible that new graphics cards are right around the corner. In the spring nVidia introduced their next generation of GPU, there are a range of new GTX 4xx series cards on the mainstream line, and just last week new Quadro cards were launched for the high end. Adobe does not support either of them for CS5's Mercury Playback Engine hardware acceleration at this moment, but Adobe employees have said that it's coming in an update soon.
    It's also likely that the ATI Radeon HD 5770 & Radeon HD 5870 will be released for the Mac. My understanding is that the 5770 performance is on par with your HD 4870, and the 5870 will blow it away. Both the new ATI cards also boast two mini displayport plugs as well as a DVI out. Neither card is likely going to get support for hardware acceleration in CS5 anytime soon (not really Adobe's fault, ATI are still in their infancy on the high performance/OpenCL front compared to nVidia).
    My advice, if you need something now, chase down a GTX 285 and you won't be disappointed (especially in CS5). Otherwise, you may want to wait it out and jump on the next generation if/when it becomes available.
    Hope that helps!

  • Can i add a video graphics card to the HP TouchSmart 420t

    I just purhased an HP Touchsmart 420T and I'd like to know if I can add a video graphics card?

    This is the same answer that has been given for every model over the past 3 years and continues to be the case.
    For all intent the graphics cards in the Touchsmart desktops are NOT upgradable, even with a "standard" MXM card since the motherboard and BIOS are custom made for HP and do not support additional non-HP graphics cards and their firmware/BIO

  • Best graphics card for the hp pavilion p7-1415

    Hi, I recently purchased a hp pavilion p7-1415 and I would like to upgrade the graphics card so I can use an hdmi cable and play games at the best quality possible for this pc. I would like to keep it on the cheaper side if possible. Thanks. -Brett

    Hi, The HP p7-1415 has a HP version 8 BIOS and a 300 watt power supply. Without upgrading the power supply, the NVIDIA GTX 750 has been highly rated in some of the PC technical magazines. Just look for a model that doesn't require an auxiliary PCI-E 6 pin power connector.  You should be able to run 1920 by 1080 resolution and still get good frame rates.

  • Where can I get a new replacemen​t motherboar​d and graphics card for HP Tx2 touchsmart 1340ea? Cost?

    my computer has been getting either blue screen of death, or your machine has been turned off to save your computer or pixels jumping around across screen, so on white screen was getting streaks of blue from top to bottom and on black streaks of red dancing about, OR no screen at all - blank. 
    Now machine won't even boot up.  This all happened both on cable and wireless.   Product no VJ667EA #    TX2 Touchsmart 1340ea.
    There have been no upgrades of hardware , and on software front only thing is regular updates of windows.  It was running Windows 7 64 bit professional.
    It is now totally dead.  If you try to boot up you get the electric symbol light up, and caps lock and end /number lock light up and flash... thats it.
    We just tried to blow out dust that is all.  I have a nasty feeling HP doesn't want to sell any parts and only bothered about selling folks like me  a new machine which I am not going to buy.    This one didn't last more than 18 months, just long enough to be out of guarantee.  Here's hoping I am wrong and there are replacement motherboards and graphics cards (it

    You're very welcome.
    What seems to be unfair is I can buy that motherboard directly from HP in the USA as you saw, but for whatever reason you can't buy it directly from HP in the UK.
    I still think you would be better off checking out what related notebooks may be for sale out there on eBay UK.
    I buy all my PC's on eBay in used condition for great bargains. I do limit myself to the business PC's and notebooks that HP makes, however.
    Best of luck in whatever you decide to do.

  • Is it possible to install a module only for the private mode (i would use https everywhere only in this mode). Is there any way to do that ? Thanks

    I would use the module "https everywhere" wich is an extension that encrypts communications with many major website. The thing is that i dont want to use it all the time.
    The way to use it perfectly would be to activate it only when i'm in private mode (wich makes sense IMO).
    Is there any way to install / configure it in order it's effective in the private mode but not in the normal one ?
    That would be a great feature but i found nothing about it.
    Btw, sorry for my bad english, not my mother tongue anyway ;).
    Thanks for your support.
    Best regards

    I know i m running on firefox 24, but i m working with GWT plateform and there is no pluggin for version higher than 24.
    Thank you for your help, it fit perfectly with my issue. Much appreciated.
    Best regards

  • Compatible graphics cards for the early 2008 Mac Pro 3,1?

    I have an early 2008 Mac Pro 3,1 with the 2.66Ghz Quad core processor that is running Lion. I had an ATI Radeon Card in there that didn't last very long (I've read not great reviews about them recently) and now I need a replacement that will be compatible with my system and that will last me longer than my previous card did. The problem is I don't know what my options are. Can anyone reccomend me a viable replacement? I do video/audio production so something high end would be nice.
    Thanks,
    -RH

    There are some good ideas, comments and tests just how much difference and in what applications.
    The differences between 2.5GT and others are less than you might think.
    There is no-compromise performance for some areas of CS6 and CUDA with ML and GTX 570 or above. The new EVGA GTX 660-Ti FTW w/ 3GB $330 looks to be very popular and that is the "mid-range" today, compared to $400-500 where GTX 680 sits or ATI 79xx series.
    If you have to use 10.6.8 that is a bigger factor and some cards require 10.7.4 or later.
    The 5x70 were average cards when they came out. There is no reason to have a system where early boot is totally dependent upon firmware and couldn't do basic video. Anyway some people are willing to swap out the 5770 and keep it just for debugging.
    As to the original question: can't tell if you were interested in asking if a MacBook Pro Retina or something else... kind of hard to argue. A 12-core 3.33GHz with 48GB and 5 internal hard drives - it is hard not to do whateer you throw at it esp. if cost is not the primary concern but work is and it is suppose to pay for itself.
