Laptop Graphics card

well it says i have a Standard VGA Graphics Adapter and i was wondering if i can upgrade the graphics card. because imy trying to play games i bought but it wont because of the card

Hi:
If you are seeing a standard vga adapter, that means the graphics driver is not installed, which is why the graphics in your notebook isn't working up to par.
See if installing this graphics driver resolves the problem.

Should I update my laptop graphics card or is it possible?

Should I update my laptop graphics card or not? Is it possible to do so? Please help
My laptop model is HP Probook 4441s

You're very welcome.
Your notebook has switchable graphics...an Intel UMA graphics chip which uses shared system memory, and an AMD Radeon HD 7650M graphics chip, which uses discrete graphics memory.
The AMD GPU with its discrete graphics memory are still chips soldered and integrated on the motherboard.
That's what it means. You assumed it was a removable card, and it is not.
There is no reference to a graphics card in your model on any of the official HP specifications for your notebook.

I don't see anything there about a graphics card, do you?

Can i upgrade my cq 42 227tu laptop graphic card

i have compaq presario cq 42 227tu notebook , and i want to install graphic card on my laptop . so its possible or not please reply with all technical specification.

Assume your version has intel intergrated graphics, no upgrade is possible to the motherboard.
Only option would be finding another better spec motherboard from HP/Compaq range that may fit your notebook chassis.
Balanced on cost & probably minimal gain a newer machine is best option really.

Can I upgrade my laptop Graphic Card

I have a HP DV6 B1N18EA, its has the nividia geforce 630m 2 gb detecated, I need a better graphic card to upgrade it. So can anyone please tell me if i can

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.
Hope this helps.

Walmart HP Laptop Graphics Card Mixup

I recently purchased your Pavilion 17-e119wm from Walmart. on the Walmart website, under “details from manufacturer” It said the graphics card had 4GB of dedicated memory. I got the laptop a couple days ago, and today I discovered that under “system”, my computer said there was no dedicated graphics memory. I looked up the graphics card, and, sure enough, the graphics card had no dedicated graphics memory. A couple of weeks ago, I had ordered the pavilion 17z with some configuration, but then I found the Pavilion 17-e119wm (at Walmart), which, mainly because of the graphics card, looked like a better deal, so I canceled my previous order of the 17z. During the cancelation, I was offered 10% off if I kept the order, which I declined. Now that I found out about my graphics card, I was wondering if I could still get 10% off the 17z (and hopefully the hard drive upgrade too that was free when I bought the first laptop)
Thanks,
Nathan Hagan

Hi,
Probably misreading some how. The following specs says it has "AMD Radeon HD 8650G graphics with up to 4206MB total graphics memory"
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=au&lc=en&docname=c04119881
No where in its specs saying it has dedicated memory. I believe you have to talk direcly with Walmart, this forum is for you and me. Some HP people are around but I don't think they speak as a company.
Regards.

MOVED: Laptop Graphics Card

This topic has been moved to GAMING Notebooks.

Most games will try to run even though you don't meet the requirements, but I would expect it to have extremely poor performance to the point of being possibly unplayable and not refundable.

Upgrading graphics card on a Lenovo 3000 N500 laptop

Is a 'BFG - NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GTX+ OC 1GB GDDR3 PCI Express Graphics Card' compatible with this laptop? If not, which type of card should I look for to be compatible? And how do I install it? Right now I have 2 'Mobile Intel 4 Series Express Chipset Family' graphics cards installed.

Laptop graphics cards tend to be soldered on. Some have replaceable units which utilize a manufacturer proprietary port. Others have what's called a MXM slot which are somewhat interchangeable.
However, considering your laptop was manufactured with integrated graphics, it is highly unlikely that you will be to change/upgrade to a better graphics card.
I do believe that there will be a better solution in the future. Read about MXM 3.0 standard. It's quite promising.

MacBook Pro 17" (Late 2011) Graphics Card

Hello Community,
I've researched this community, and found some relevant posts to the following question. However, the answers I found weren't completely satisfying. So, I'm posting my own on the subject to help me and others.
I have the following:
• MacBook Pro 17" (Late 2011, MacBookPro8,3) 2.5 ghz Quad Core i7/512 SSD/8 GB RAM
• Graphics Card: AMD Radeon HD 6770M with 1 GB VRAM and Intel HD 3000 Graphics
I know desktop models can be upgraded, but I can not afford the one I need at the moment. I am aware that many Apple laptop graphics cards can not be upgraded. Can this particular AMD Radeon graphics card be replaced and upgraded?
If it can be replaced and upgraded, any suggestions on the best graphics card available? AMD has some nice upgrades.
The card is nice, fast, and I'm not unhappy with it, but I run graphics and multimedia applications, and could benefit from the newer cards available.
I appreciate your input community.
Thanks,
Greg

About the only time you can upgrade a video card in a notebook is if that model notebook came with a better video card then what you ordered. At a later date if that better video card become available on the used market you could by one and replace the original as it was made to fit in the same model.
But it is almost impossible to buy one from the original manufacturer. Especial during the current production run of that model.
In your case the model you bought has the best video card available in the new line of MBPs. So there is no better card that would fit in your system. Whether the new models that will be coming out later this year will use a better video card and whether it would physical fit in your model is unknow.
But all of what I wrote above doesn't really matter as with all Macbook Pros the video card and CPU is Soldered to the logic board and can not be replaced. If either fails the complete logic board needs to be replaced.
The only things that can be easily replaced by the user in a Apple Macbook Pro is the RAM, hard drive and DVD drive.
All other parts Apple does not sell to the general public.
So your only option is if the newer models have a better video card is to sell your present system and buy the new model.

Satellite P100-347: Where to get a better graphic card

Hi everyone!
I need some help about laptop graphics card. Is anyone can tell me any kind of websites where i can buy graphics cards? Really need because the TechGuys repaired my laptop and exchanged my original video card to a slower one.
I have realised just now when i've installed a system analyser program.
Thank you!

Hi
Before you buy something you should take a look into this Toshiba document:
[Is it possible to upgrade the CPU/GPU of a Toshiba Notebook|http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/FAQ7A01ZW0007R01.htm]
There you will find this statement:
+ GPU: In all cases the GPU is soldered on the system board and cannot be exchanged.+
I think this says everything!!!

My laptops graphic card is not working

Hey BCU,
Can you please tell me what operating system you are using? To see which version of Windows you are using click here: Which Windows operating system am I running?
Open Device Manager and click View at the top and then click Show hidden devices. Expand Display adapters and Other devices. Tell me if you can see both graphics cards, if one is missing, or if you have a generic Display adapter listed in Other devices.
You may also need to update the BIOS and chipset drivers for your notebook. You can find them here: HP Pavilion 15-n260tx Notebook PC Drivers.
If this does not work I would suggest a system restore to when it was working properly. You can do this by repeatedly tapping the F11 key while your notebook boots to access the Recovery Manager. Once in there choose system restore and choose a restore date as close to today but still before the issue started.
If that does not work I would suggest a system recovery back to the original factory condition. You can also do this with the F11 boot method.
If that does not work, I would suggest calling HP Phone Support for service options. You can contact HP Technical Support at 1-800-474-6836 in North America. For all other regions click here.
Let me know if this works!

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).
I am currently running Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 (64-bit).

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.
