You do not really have to go higher than 8gb, I upgraded to 8gb and then went up to 16gb because I play a lot of Xbox 1 and PS4 level games while running a few programs
Anyways, PSU you need at least 600W, I got a Corsair CX600 from Amazon for $60 (brand new).
If you do not get it, your GTX 760 will not run and your PC will turn off and tell you that you do not have enough power.
You DO NOT have to configure in BIOS. When you plug in the display adapter, you plug it into your graphics card port. I use the HDMI port. After plugging in your card, plug into the HDMI port (if available or use DVI), turn on your PC and if the screen turns off or has no signal then you did not plug in the right port. Then just follow directions on software installation.
As for putting it in yourself, it's not hard, it's the same as the original of how it is already plugged in. It's basically the battery of your PC, you just have to follow the same chords your original plugs are in.

Lenovo H430 Graphic Card

Hello everybody, i've a question.
I have to buy a lenovo h430, but i've read in this forum that isn't compatible with a nvidia 630 because the power isn't enough.
So, i have to add a nvidia 620 gt, is compatible? The power is enough?
Sorry for my bad english.
Hengo

I would suggest upgrading the Power Supply, no matter what gpu you add, as 280W (what the h430 series has) isnt enough, even for a discrete gpu i do know for a fact, that this PSU, will fit perfectly, and will provide enough power for whatever gpu you choose: http://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Builder-Series-Watt-CX500/dp/B0092ML0MY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1382894...

H520 Graphics Card Upgrade Problem

Hello,
A few days ago, I decided to upgrade the graphics card on my H520 non-slim version. This is a two week old unit with an i3 3240 processor, intregrated graphics, and 6 gigs of ram. I decided on the gtx 650 ti card, paired with a new 600 watt power supply. Upon installation, the computer would not detect the card in any manner. After trouble shooting for hours, e.g., messing with settings in bios, I returned the card and the power supply unit to the place of purchase thinking one of the two was faulty. Unfortunately, I am experiencing the same issue with the new card and psu. Although the fan on the card indicates it is receiving power, the computer does not recognize that anything is installed in the pci express slot. It appears either the pci express slot is faulty, or the motherboard does not support this card. In my opinion, considering that this computer is two weeks old and the nvidia card is widely used, both are unacceptable. Any suggested actions before I return the card for the second and final time?
Thanks

hi JohnJoeWarsh
Welcome to Lenovo Forums!
Im sorry to hear that....
Just to make sure you had the 6 pin connector connected to your Video card right.
Pleasde check this thread about i think the same concern

Here are the Lenovo supported graphic cards for H520
Im not sure if going out of this list for H520 Graphics will work for the Motherboard.

Looking for Macbook Graphics Card Upgrade

Hey,
I recently saw a Graphics Card Upgrade Kit for a Macbook Pro and was wondering if Apple offers a Graphics Card Upgrade Kit for a Macbook.
Thanks,
Nevin

Welcome to the discsussions!
The graphics chipset is integrated into the logic board and cannot be replaced or upgraded.
Are you sure you saw one for the MacBook Pro and not the Mac Pro desktop tower?

Hi-
I think you will find there are more users of the ATI Radeon 9800 that DON'T have a 300w PSU, than those that do. It would leave out the majority of the G4 line if it were absolutely necessary. As I see it, it isn't absolutely necessary, and, it is also the ONLY higher end upgrade graphics card commercially produced for 2x, 4x AGP systems, most of which, DON'T have a 300w PSU.
My Sawtooth has a 237w PSU, and the 9800, and my processor upgrade, and 2 internal drives, all work just fine!
As for the piggyback connection, that is how you connect the power to the 9800. A splitter molex cable is used to split power from the superdrive connection, between the superdrive and the 9800.

Lenovo H430 video card problem

Hi All,
I searched a little bit through the forum but didn't find an answer to the problem that I'm having. Apologies if it's been answered and I just missed it..
I have a H430 desktop with an i3-2120. I recently bought a Quadro 600 to install into the box. When I install the video card and turn on the box, all I see is the Lenovo boot screen. Nothing happens, then I heard 2 beeps. Normally, I would have associated this with the RAM, but the machine runs fine when I'm using the integrated graphics.
I'm using the original 280 watt power supply, but the Quadro only uses 40 watts max. Any ideas on what the problem might be??
Thanks in advance!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

hi spikeyboi,
Welcome to the Lenovo Forums.
Check this thread posted by ParadiseDecay as a few people found it helpful to resolve their video card upgrade problem.
The solution was to:
1. Boot into the BIOS (by pressing F1 on startup) without the discrete video card
2. On the BIOS, navigate to the Startup tab and look UEFI, CSM, or Secure Boot and set the value to either Disable / Legacy or Compatibility.
3. Press F10 to save the settings and exit BIOS
4. Power off the PC, Insert the discrete video card and test
Hope this helps.

H430 Graphics Card question...

Good afternoon.
I'm looking to upgrade my Lenovo H430 with the following graphics card..EVGA - GeForce GTX 750 Ti 2GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 Graphics Card
I do plan upgrading my PSU also, so my main question is, will this card fit in my machine (i.e., right slot type, etc.)
Thanks for the input.

Hi
The dual 2GHz late 2004 G5 has an AGP 8x Pro graphics card slot and three PCI-X slots for other cards. If you want to replace your existing graphics card rather than adding a second card, you'll need a Mac compatible AGP card (and it must be a Mac compatible one rather than a generic PC card) .
As far as I'm aware three are available retail:
ATI Radeon 9600 Pro PC & Mac Edition
ATI Radeon 9800 Pro Mac Edition
ATI Radeon X800 XT Mac Edition
The first would be a minimal improvement over the stock card and not really worth the upgrade. The last would be the best available, albeit at a cost ($300+).
Unfortunately Mac compatible graphics cards seem to have been in short supply recently as they're being redesigned to comply with the RoHS (restriction of hazardous substances) directive. A Mac retailer such as OWC would probably be your best bet, unless Best Buy happen to stock Mac cards:

M58 Graphic card upgrade

HI everyoneI read some information on this forum about Thinkcentre M58, but nothing that can really help me.
I want to buy a new graphic card and I would like to know if there are limitation about Graphic Cards that I can install on this machine.It's not understandable why a desktop computer cannot be upgraded if the motherboard has all the expansion slots needed! Thank you for any suggestions.Regards

I don't know if the OP is still checking this thread, but I thought I would chime in anyways. Warning: long rambling post ahead.
I had the same problems when I was looking for GPU upgrade options for my M58p (tower form factor), There wasn't too much information out there concerning aftermarket upgrades.
If I recall correctly; the information I managed to find seemed to point out that the BIOS would only recognize AMD/Radeon cards up to the 4xxx series. For nVvidia I did find mention of the 9500 GT.
Aside from BIOS limitations. The only limit there would be, is the power supply. I don't know what type of M58 your PC is. My M58p has a Delta Electronics (model# 280GB-C) 280 watt installed.
====
Now for my personal experience
A few months after trying to figure out what GPU I could upgrade and having found nothing regarding cards newer than 5 years. I gave up the search and resigned myself to just having to build or buy a newer PC. On black friday; a local computer store had nVidia's low-end wonder GPU - the GTX 750ti - on for $120 with a 20 dollar mail-in rebate. Instead of letting the card sit in the box for a few months, while waiting for other parts to come on sale. I figured why not see if it can work in the M58p... IT DID!
Disconnected the power from the tower.Installed the 750ti in the PCIe x16 slot. Reconnected power and booted to the BIOS and disabled the built-in intel graphics.Rebooted and the screen stayed black. After 2 minutes I thought the computer had hung. but then it rebooted on it own a second time and made it into Windows 7.Start menu>Right click on Computer> Properties> then clicked into Windows Experience index. The 750ti showed up.Installed nVidia's latest drivers and rebootedEnjoying a 500%+ increase in performance over intel built in graphics ====
I've been running it with no hiccups for 2 months now and the PSU seems to be able to handle it with no problems. I'll see if I can dig up some screenshots that prove that the card is running and recognized and utilized by the operating system and since there are so many different sub-models of the M58 and M58p. I'll check to see what model my motherboard is and which BIOS it's running.
So if Julian_ was able to install a GTX 750Ti does that mean i could potentally install a R7 250X?
I have recently purchased a ex govt. M58 7484-AF3 (tower, not SFF case) for a very good price and and have also found an R7-250X 2G DDR5 for a steal and was wondering if its possible to use this on the OEM Lenovo board. I will be upgrading the PSU to accomidate the VGA card (plus other things like SSD, extra 4gb ram etc)
Cheers

Graphic Card Upgrade for HP-Pavilion dv6t-7000

Hello. I have the HP Pavlilion dv6t-7000 with the NVIDIA GT650M 1GB grpahics card. Now because of my work, i need to extends my graphic card memory. So I want to ask if my laptop is possible to upgrade to GT650M 2GB card.
My product number is A5F74AV. And my wannary is end on 8/24/2013.
And this laptop is a gift of my aunt from USA, and I'm living in Viet Nam now. So if yes, can HP Vietnam do the upgrade for me? My aunt's family is very busy so I can't resend my laptop and ask them to return to you.
Thank you very much!

Hi:
The only way to upgrade the video card in your notebook is to replace the entire motherboard which would cost as much as buying a new notebook with better graphics.
If you had HP do the upgrade, it would probably cost more than buying 2 notebooks with better graphics than yours.

Here are the specs for your HP Pavilion a1020n Desktop Computer and it's PTGD-LA (Goldfish3) motherboard. According to the specs, your computer has no dedicated graphics card expansion slot. The only expansion slots available on this system are three traditional and/or conventional PCI slots. One of these slots currently contains a K56flex modem.
Here is a selection of PCI graphics cards that may meet your requirements. Please note that these cards may also require you to upgrade your power supply as well.

Hi,
The main problem you are going to face is your PC only has a 160W Power Supply Unit. Without upgrading your PSU, you will struggle to find any card that will improve your graphics capability.

Processor and graphics card upgrade for hp dc5100 MT(EF633US)

Can someone kindly tell me a variety of Intel processors and graphic cards which i can install in my pc coz right now i'm using Intel pentium 4 CPU 2.80 GHz and Intel 82915G/GV/910GL express chipset. but i would like to upgrade to a faster processor and a graphics card which can play games which require large graphic memory (eg FIFA 2013,GTA 5.etc)

Hi:
Personally, I wouldn't invest the money to upgrade that PC.
You would be better off getting an off lease newer dc5800 MT or dc7800/dc7900 model that has a PCIe x16 video slot.
The killer for your model is you can only install a PCI graphics card.
Very inefficient and pretty expensive for what you get in return.
After you install the required microcode update, the best processor I know for sure you can install would be the P4 650.
Below is the link to the quickspecs. The supported processors are listed on page 7.
I do not know of anyone who that has installed the 651 or 661 processors and got them to work--even though the specs state they are supported.
You can try the 651 or 661 and if you do, please let me know if they worked for you.
