Looking to upgrade graphics card in HP Envy 15 notebook

I use my laptop for gaming mostly and all games are good except i get fps lag when i play certain games. I beleive that it is because I dont have a good graphincs card. Is it possible to change the graphics card on the HP Envy 15 Notebook? If so, what graphics cards are compatible with this laptop?

HP currently doesn't have a True Gaming Laptop and for those you can expect to spend above 1500US to get the gaming requirements needs to play demanding games. That is why you get lags when you play certain games once you go above the specs of the Envy 15 it will not be able to handle such games.

  • Upgrading Graphics Card on HP Envy Phoenix 810qe Desktop

    So a little while ago I got a new Envy Phoenix 810qe Desktop (the windows 8 version) with the following customizations: 4th gen Intel i7-4790k @4.0 Ghz, 16Gb DDR3-1600Mhz (2 DIMMs), 2 Tb 7200 Rpm SATA Hard Drive, 16 Gb mSATA SSD cache, HP WLAN 802.11 ac 2x2 DB MCard BT WIDI, 15-in-1 Multi-slot Media Card Reader, 6 USB Ports (Front/Top), Audio [Front 4USB2.0, Top 2USB3.0], 4GB Nvidia GeForce GTX 745. I want to know if I could put in an Nvidia Geforce GTX 980 graphics card in place of the GTX 745. Reading from this post on the forum (http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Desktop-Hardware/Upgrade-My-HP-ENVY-Phoenix-810qe-Desktop/td-p/4679014) I know that the computer has a 500w PSU. But in the post it seemed like the person asking the question just had the base computer and hadn't customized it, and I'm left wondering if the customizing I did to my computer has taken up more watts from the PSU.  Since I know that the GTX 980 would need all 500 of the watts that my computer has to offer I want to know if my computer might still be able to run this beast of a GPU. Anybody have any ideas? If not I think I can just settle for a Geforce GTX 960 because that only needs 400w of total system power. But I'm not even sure that could work on my current computer either. Any Help???

    Hi,
    There are many models of the 810 series.
    Please post the HP product number for your PC. How to Find the HP Model Number and the HP Product Number or let HP automatically find your PC model number and HP network attached printers. This will allow others to review your issue, make suggestions and review your responses. This is usually the best way to get assistance.
    The power draw of the NVIDIA GTX 980 can vary depending on the card.  You may need either two eight pin PCI-E power connectors or two six pin PCI-E power connectors and a power supply minimum of 500-600 watts depending on the particular graphics card.
    BTW -- The link that you posted is broken.

  • Looking to upgrade graphics card for MSI MS-6577 v 2.1

    Hi Guys,
    I own a HP Pavilion a219.uk desktop PC which I believe has a MSI MS-6577 v 2.1 motherboard.  I am ordering some parts for a new PC, and am also looking to update this machine with a new graphics card from the same site, but am getting lost with the differences between AGP 4X and 8X, as I believe this motherboard only has support for 4X.  Can anyone suggest to me a working card (preferably in stock, as I am leaving this PC behind when I go to uni, and am trying to upgrade quickly!)?

  • Looking to upgrade graphics card on early 2009 Mac Pro

    I'm a Final Cut Pro, Motion user looking to upgrade from the standard NVIDIA GeForce GT 120 on my early 2009 2 x 2.26 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon Mac Pro.
    Between the ATI Radeon 5770 and 5870 which card is preferable for video work? Is the 5870 worth the extra money for what I do? Are both of these cards compatible with my machine?
    Thanks.

    In my usage experience, the current generation of Final cut studio doesn't benefit much from the jump from a 5770 to a 5870. Barefeats.com benchmarks back this up more or less.
    I think in the long run, with GPGPU and push towards openCL, the 5870 is worth the extra $200 if buying a new mac pro -
    if you are upgrading an old mac pro, you'd have to decide.
    The 5770 will be so much faster than the GT120 running Motion, I know you would be content with that.

    Unfortunately, the GPU is not upgradeable in these units.  You would have to upgrade the entire motherboard package, which would be costly and cause potential reliability issues in the future.  Your best option would be to upgrade to a newer notebook with the GPU and specs you require.

  • Upgrading the Graphics Card in HP ENVY h8-1414 Desktop Series PCs

    What are the steps you need to do when Upgrading the Graphics Card  in HP ENVY h8-1414  Desktop Series PCs, with the HP M3970AM-HP (Angelica2) Motherboard. As it has no onboard video, so if the new card isn't installed correct you will not have picture on monitor.
    Going to install Radeon HD 6950 / 70 2GB DDR5

    Hi:
    The only advice I can offer is to make sure you change the 2 BIOS settings required to be changed when you install a non-HP video card.
    See this link...
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&​dlc=en&docname=c03653200&lc=en&jumpid=reg_r1002_us​...
    Also before you install the new video card, make sure you uninstall the driver from the old video card, shut down the PC and then install the new video card.
    To uninstall the driver, go to the device manager, click to expand the display adapters category, right click on the display adapter listed there, select uninstall and check the uninstall driver box.  Do not reboot as prompted, shut the PC down.
    However, I have no idea if the video card you intend to install is compatible with your PC.

    Hi:
    Unfortunately in most of today's notebooks (including yours), the graphics cannot be upgraded.
    I looked at the service manual for your notebook, and there aren't even any other motherboards with better graphics available.
    You can try the latest drivers from AMD to see if that helps, any but you can't do anything with the hardware.

    Hi:
    Graphics adapters cannot be upgraded simply. 
    You would need to replace the motherboard with one that would have better graphics (if one exists for your model).
    This would cost as much as buying a new notebook, so it is probably not a good idea to undertake such an endeavor.

  • What upgrade graphic card do i need for a early 2008 mac pro

    I have a early 2008 Mac Pro.  ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT 256 MB is what i have now.  What is a good upgrade graphic card to get.

    The GTX 780 6GB runs fine on the dual PCIe internal power cables -- as does the GTX 680 and Radeon HD 7950. The same can't be said of the GTX TITAN or GTX 780 Ti or Radeon R9 280X -- all of which require an auxiliary power feed to avoid a nasty power down of your tower at the worst moment when too much wattage is demanded of the Mac Pro's factory power supply.
    Did I mention that the GTX 780 with 6GB of GDDR5 matches the 6GB of GDDR5 in the TITAN?
    The one fallacy to my 'sweet spot' award has to do with OpenCL. In case you hadn't noticed, the AMD Radeon GPUs smoked the NVIDIA GeForce GPUs running Photoshop's OpenCL accelerated Iris Blur filter and rendering LuxMark's OpenCL accelerated Room scene.
    - http://www.barefeats.com
    So depends on budget, whether you want a PC card for less but no "early EFI boot screen" prior to drivers loading, and what apps and needs you have.
    The one thing for sure is that 2600XT should have been retired ages ago and even more so with 10.8.3 and above, it could be trouble or just... PITA/POS.

  • Upgrading graphic card on HP DC 8300 CMT

    Dear HP,
    I try to upgrade graphic card, on HP DC 8300 CMT (Intel® Core™ i7-3770 Processor, Intel HD Graphics 4000 )
    with Nvidia Asus GeForce GTX 650 Ti.
    As stock power supply doesnt meet requirements, I installed an additional  FSP Group Booster X5 450W.
    Once I turn PC on, it reboots 3 times, and eventually it continues to use onboard graphic and windows 7 loads as usual .
    like if new graphic card is not present. (not detected by windows)
    Bios version is latest and particular option  for disableing integrated graphic is grayed out- not accessible.
    Is there any explanation why this happens ?
    On DC 8100 sff It automaticaly disabled onboard graphic, altough it was low consumption Radeon HD 7750 Low Profile card, and there was no any problem.
    Regards.

  • Upgrade Graphic Card - Envy 17-k195nz

    Hello guys... I have Just un question;
    i'd bought HP Envy 17   i7-4510 OU CPU 2.00Ghz     Ram 16 Gb
    Graphics Card is : Nvidia GeForce 850M
    This is a notebook....
    I want to know if i can upgrade my grapic card with a new one...
    I want to Buy the new one GTX 960, but i don't know if i can change it directy to my notebook... Or another  much better than 850M
    Anyone can help me,please?

    The GTX960M, I think that is what you meant to state, is not one that is listed as an option.
    There is no guarantee that particular graphics module will operate as you expect.
    It has not been tested on the Envy 17 notebook by HP's Quality labs.
    If you do purchase it, install it and have positive or negative results, please share the results with the HP Forum.
