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,

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 @KebsLorenzo ,
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have looked into your issue about your HP Pavilion dv4-1465dx Entertainment Notebook PC and needing to use BlueStacks App Player. Here is a link to uninstall software in Windows 8. You need to uninstall this Bluestacks software and reinstall it.
If this does not help here is a link to Bluestacks Support page. As it is third party software.

Need help with graphics card upgrade

I have a stock p6140f and am looking to run on the new WoW expansion. I have gotten by to this point with the intel GMA 3100 /G33 that comes with this desktop. I have recently run into issues with crashes during game. I have always had it on the high resolustion and never encountered any problems. I am looking for a graphics card that will run the game WITHOUT replacing my power supply. I know that it has a 300W PSU and that is has a
Expansion Slots:
1 PCI x16 slot for graphics card
What I dont know is what will work for this upgrade.The specs. list it as a PCI slot, not a PCI Express 2.0 slot. If this card doesnt work then I was looking for any card that would be compatible with the system that could run the game
I was looking at the

CPU & Graphics Card Upgrades

Hi,
I do a lot of video and graphics on my Mac Pro 1,1 and would like to upgrade the CPU and graphics cards. I see the CPU may be a trickier install process, but it looks like I'll have no trouble changing out the graphics card. I'll probably just pay someone to do the CPU. But when buying the gear, do you guys have any suggestions that I should keep in mind? Any recommendations for hardware?
I was looking at something like this for the processor: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115066
And something like this for the graphics card: hhttp://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150507
Any thoughts would be great!

Slimline s5-1010 - HDMI graphics card upgrade, what graphics cards will work in slimline box?

Slimline s5-1010 - HDMI graphics card upgrade, what graphics cards will work in slimline box? Cheap will do, under 100. Has 1 PCI Express x16, but the slot on back of pc looks about 2" too short for this?

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.

Video graphics card upgrade help needed

Hello,
I have an HP elite h8 1010 and am looking to upgrade my video card, and, if i must, my psu also. My budget for the graphics card is 150-250 and if i need the psu I'm not looking to spend more than $300(ish) for both. Any suggestions?
I currently have a radeon 9600gt and a thermaltake 430wt model tt-8020a. I'm being overwhelmed with the technical jargon that is discussed when buying the graphics card and meeting the system requirements for same including the minimum wattage of the psu to run the card, including the space required to fit the card. I do have enough space for a dual slot card, but some of these cards are extra long and I'm not sure how to determine if they will fit inside this case. I was interested in this card or something similar...

Thanks.

HI Bigst79.
I will be pleased to assist you with some information on graphic cards. I totally understand that all the technical jargon, can be overwhelming, and hard to comprehend.
Rest assured I am here to help!!
After viewing the specifications you provided you will notice the interface on yours is different then on the card you are looking at. When you look at your specification, click on graphics. You will notice that it does not lists PCLR 3.0 but rather PCI Express x16. You can purchase a PCL 2,0 card and it should be backwards compatible.
I am also including the specifications for the card you were looking at purchasing click here. If you will notice under the requirements it does tell you the minimum power supply is 400 watt.
I hope this helps to explain what you need to consider when purchasing the card.,
Please let me know what you decide as I would very much like to know.

Graphic Card Upgrade?

Can I upgrade my black macbook graphic card to the aluminium mac's GEForce 9400M? Currently using GMA X3100.

Hello Petrucci,

Regards.

HP Pavilion A6603W Graphics card upgrading help.

Current Graphics card:
GeForce 7100 / nForce 630i (integrated into motherboard as a chip)
Power supply#: ATX-250-12Z-REV-D7R (250 Watts I believe?)
Computer Model: ( HP Pavilion A6603W)
Problem: Trying to figure out which is the best graphics card to upgrade with to keep up to date with the current games, such as : Battlefield, bad company 2, Just cause 2, Amnesia: Dark descent.
Now as for the power supply, I am sure Ill need to upgrade that as well. But I found a pretty reasonable one online at fry's electronics:
http://www.frys.com/product/5503410
But as for the graphics card, I am completely lost here at what I kind I can buy and not buy. most of my games require to have at least DirectX10 or higher, which my graphics card only supports DirectX 9. I have also seen that some graphics cards require power slots? I am completely new to this and I would like to have support from users.
Oh and by the way, the minimum I can spend is 250$
any suggestions?
Thank you for your time and consideration.
This question was solved.

Salko, to play the games that you mention, you will need a good mid-level video card. I like XFX, BFG, EVGA, Sapphire and PNY in that order. The main thing to check is the length of the card. The newer cards that are 10" or longer may not fit in the space provided. With a PSU that is at least 500W, you have allot of choices.
The Antec PSU should be fine. However, I like OCZ and Corsair PSU's for superior clean, stable power. They are both enthusiast/gamer PSU manufacturers. Check Newegg for a PSU that has allot of reviews (read them) and is rated at least 4 eggs. This is a good indicator of the quality of the product from those who are using it.

Mac Pro 2009 graphics card upgrade

Hi there!
as you probably know there are two (in my eyes at least) types of the Ati Radeon 5770 these being:
http://www.play.com/PC/PCs/4-/27669549/620722873/ATI-Radeon-HD5770-1GB-PCI-E-Gra phics-Card/ListingDetails.html?_%24ja=tsid:11518%7Ccat:27669549%7Cprd:27669549 This version seems to be more designed for the Windows side of computers
http://www.play.com/PC/PCs/4-/30974340/703247528/Apple-MC742ZM-A-Radeon-5770-Gra phic-Card-1-GB-GDDR5-SDRAM-PCI-Express-2-0-DisplayPort-DVI/ListingDetails.html?_ %24ja=tsid:11518%7Ccat:30974340%7Cprd:30974340 And this one being for Mac (at least thats how it seems)
Anyway, the cards seem to look quite unlike each other. one as you can see has some sort of picture on the top, the other is just blank.
But my question is: can my early 2009 Mac Pro use the "windows" (if it is infact for windows) graphics card? as i'm looking for an upgrade

This is an Apple-firmware one that will save you a few bucks if you live in the US (except for New York where they must add tax):

I guess that says you will have to pay pretty nearly what Apple charges, regardless. Otherwise you get no picture until the Mac OS X login screen.

Chief Architect with macbook graphics card

I am trying to find a new computer for my dad to use as a business computer. He builds houses and wants a computer that can handle Chief Architect, but wants a computer that wont break down in a year due to hardware problems (AKA - DELL/HP)
I want to know if Chief Architect will run ok with the macbook graphics card, since this computer is in his price range.
Details: this is a windows program, and I was planning on using bootcamp to enable him to run this on his mac, and he would do everything else on the mac side.
System requirements for the program:
• Windows 98, 2000, or XP
• 2 GHz processor, or greater.
• At least 2 GB available hard disk space.
• A video card with OpenGL hardware acceleration that has 32 MB of memory or greater.
This program has the capabilities of creating a 3D view of the house and record a 3D walk through of the house.
With the Macbook graphics card, will this run smoothly? And what is OpenGL? Is this vital, if so does mac have it?

You may already have made a decision and a purchase. If you have, I'd like to know what you chose, because I 'm in much the same situation as your dad. If not, I can tell you that my PC program, which ran agonizingly slowly under now ancient Virtual PC and Windows 98 on my old Powermac, ran fine on a friend's HP with integrated graphics (that is, with no separate, dedicated graphics card). So I suspect it would run even better on the Macbook, which is much faster than the HP was and has better intergrated graphics. However before I buy I will take the program and an elaborate architectural file to an Apple store and ask if they will let me test it on a Macbook. Clearly a Macbook Pro would be more than enough, and while I'd like one, I doubt I need one.

Looking for a smart card reader compatible with Mac OS X 10.5

Hi there,
I am looking for a smart card (card with microCPU) reader which is compatible with Mac OS X 10.5 .
In substance, what I need is a little space to store all my passwords in, due to the fact that I might forget one: I have many to remember!
I have an USB key, but I use it in many computers, even in ones whose security cannot be 100% trusted.. and I want no doubt when talking about safety.
Here's an image of what I want in poor words:
http://www.ordnas.it/prodotti/lett_mem/imgpr1592-01-3.jpg
The main issue is that most SC readers are /not/ Mac compatible.
So what brand should I opt for ? What costs should I expect ?
Thank to everyone who'll help.
Tyrexionibus

Thank you for your answer.
This might be a solution, I'll take it seriously.
Can this other be a solution too ?

On the manufacturer's page, it's stated that it's compatible with Mac OS X.
41 bucks + shipping + the price of a smart card..

Hi, Chris.
This is interesting. Kind of a yin yang thing. I am graphic artist / UI designer who's looking for a developer. Are you a developer with access to the app store currently, as that seems to be an issue. Take a look at my site... http://www.raygunstudio.com (also check it on your iPhone) ... and you an answer me from there.
