Possible to upgrade or replace my graphics card on a v460?

Hi, my graphics card just isn't cutting it for running my autocad and revit programs on my IdeaPad v460.  I have downloaded all the latest drivers and wiped out my whole computer  hoping the graphics would improve but they havn't.  My question is, is it possible to replace my graphics card with a different one?  If so how should i go about doing this?  Thanks for your help and input!

You can only replace the same graphic modal if its soldered to the mainboard because it wont be compatible with mainboard.

    Hi,please suggest me some games for Compaq CQ62-105TU Laptop.Can I upgrade my laptop's graphics card

    Unfortunately, you cannot upgrade the processor or graphics card on this laptop.
    Here is a page from CPU-World that gives the specs for your processor:
    http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/Bobcat/AMD-E%20Series%20E2-1800.html
    You will see down near the bottom of the page that it is not upgradeable. Some laptops come with the processor soldered to the motherboard. Almost all laptop graphics are this way. The only way that you would be able to get a faster processor/better graphics for this laptop would be to purchase a brand new motherboard. You can do an Ebay search for 'HP G6 motherboard' to see what average prices are if you want to go this route.

  • Is it possible to replace the graphic card of my iMac?

    My graphic card seems to be broken. But I don't know how i can replace it or even what are the compatible ones...
    (iMac 20" Core 2 Duo 2.66Ghz) But I'm not sure about the year. but Its between 2007 and 2008 I think.
    Is it possible?
    How could I replace it?
    Thank you!
    (sorry for any mistake. English is not my first language. I'm here because we don't have honest authorized places to take our macs to here in Brazil. Apple should know it by the way)

    OMG, really? So I think I should buy a new one. Ok. It's a old model, but... it was working perfectly for me =(
    I dont wanna buy a new one. Oh, I feel so disappointed now... =S Sad.. Thanks a lot for the help!

  • Replacing defective graphics card in my HP Pavilion Elite m9361.uk-a

    I have an old HP Pavilion Elite m9361.uk-a desktop pc, which I was planning on giving away to family.  Unfortunately, the graphics card doesn’t work anymore.  I’m looking to replace this with something similar or better if possible and just wondered what my options were.  I just want something I can slot in without having to upgrade other hardware if possible.  It was primarily used as a gaming pc (WOW) and will be in the future.  The link above shows it’s current specifications. 
    Many thanks in advance,
    Cadael

    Hi,
    Review this posted document.  Do you have room for a double wide graphics card? If there is a PCI-E card installed in the adjacent slot then can you move it over?
    Someone a while back posted a similar issue and did not want to upgrade the power supply and additionally the graphics card needed to be a single slot card. hmmmm  I did find a solution for that issue but it was a challenge. You might want to search the forum and see if you can find the solution.

  • Is it possible to upgrade the motherboar​d/graphics in my dv7-4177nr​?

    When I first bought this laptop it had decent, not great, performance in regards to video game graphics capabilities.  Requirements for video games are constantly evolving and my graphics card is no longer sufficient for new games.  I was wondering if it is at all possible to upgrade the integrated graphics (ATI Radeon HD 5470, I believe) of my dv7-4177nr by purchasing a new motherboard.  If so, what are some model numbers of compatible motherboards?  I would really like to avoid the purchase of a new PC/laptop as this one is only about 1.5 years old I think.
    Thanks!

    Yes it is.... I own a dv7-4177nr myself and talked at length with HP... if you can find the right motherboard (oem) and don't mind doing the work yourself it is doable. Keep in mind you have to swap out the motherboard (mobo) with another because the gpu and sundry is built into the mobo and not detachable like a desktop setup. Also if all you want is a gpu upgrade and are lucky enough to have a PCI card slot there are several options that you can upgrade your gpu to a desktop gpu which eliminates the need to swap motherboards and just run a graphics card (gpu) for gaming or streaming purposes...

  • Is it possible to upgrade a Powerbook's video card?

    I presently have a 1.33GHz Powerbook G4 with an ATI Mobility Radeon 9600 / 64MB VRAM. Is there any way to upgrade my video card? I just bought Aperture, and after two days of testing, the performance would allow one to play with Aperture, but its just too slow and chunky to use for productivity.
    However, in discussions with someone that has another Powerbook config, it appears that his ATI Mobility Radeon 9700 / 128MB VRAM is working out just fine with Aperture and runs smoothly.
    Is there any possible way to upgrade my Powerbook's video card? About 6 months ago I called AppleCare support and asked about this for a different reason and they told me I had to buy a new Powerbook if I wanted to new video card. Are there other options available now?
    Thanks,
    Brad

  • Can I upgrade my processor and graphics card in my HP Pavilion g6-2244sa Notebook PC?

    Hi I bought this laptop 2 years ago for gaming purposes and school work. I was told by the shop assistant that it can run most fo your big games such as Call Of Duty and FIFA. Well frankly i was lied to and this laptop struggles to even play the simplest game Minecraft a game about pixelated blocks that you destroy and place and this can't even run it I am very annoyed about this and seeing if i can upgrade the machine never crossed my mind until now. So i am asking to see if it would be possible to upgrade the Hardware of this machine mainly the processor and graphics card, here are the specs of my laptop:
    Processor- AMD E2-1800 APU w/ Radeon HD graphics (2CPUs) (1.80)GHz
    Graphics Card - AMD Radeon HD 7340G
    RAM - 8Gb
    Memory - 1Tb
    Now I am wondering if this machine's processor and graphic's card can be upgraded and if so what would be the price of it and where would be the best place and if the cost is too much would i be better off buying a new machine? 
    If you need more specs reply with the ones you need and i'll get them for you thank you for the help!

    Put this way if that system isn't costing you 2,000US or more then it will not play Call Of Duty and FIFA regardless of what the store sales person says. To play those games your laptop has to fall into the catgory called "Gaming Laptop" Specs and those come with cost and weight to show for it. Your laptop is only good at low games resolution and will not handle graphics intensive games. Those requires Gaming Laptop specs those cost money to be had. So if you still want to Game COD style you need to put down the cash for serious Game Laptop to perform under pressure. Forget about upgrading your current system what you want is a Serious Gaming Laptop if your going to play COD.

  • Can I replace my graphics card in my HP G7 pavilion?

    The GPU is a Radeon HD 7670M.

    Hi:
    The only way to upgrade the video adapter in a notebook is to completely replace the motherboard with one for your model that may have better graphics.
    Normally such a project will set you back more than you paid for the notebook as the motherboard alone (assuming there is an available one with better graphics) will cost several hundred dollars just for the part.
    Below is the link to the service manual for your notebook.  Supported processors can be found in chapter 1, on page 1.
    It used to be that quad core processors required a different motherboard than the dual core processors but I don't see different motherboards listed for quad or dual core processors, only the type of graphics (chapter 3).
    So, I cannot tell you if an i7 quad core will work in your notebook or not.

  • Am I able to replace a graphics card

    Hello
    So, i was wondering if i am able to replace or upgrade my graphics card on my laptop. The product key is VY794UA#ABA.
    Thank You to whoever answers this

    Hi,
    It's not really practical as the GPU is physically soldered to the Motherboard and as such, is not really an upgradeable component.

  • Is my laptop (HP Pavilion 17-e054ca) upgradable to a new graphics card??

    The details about my laptop can be found here
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/product?product=5403386&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en
    It has an inbuilt ati radeon 8670m graphics card...but it's not sufficient for my gaming needs. I was wondering if my laptop has the capability to be upgraded to a better nvidea graphics card. Can I install another graphics card at its place and still make the system perform normally. Would it have any compatability issues??
    I want to know the details of how it could be done? Also suggest some good graphics card from nvidia.
    Thank YOu !!

    Hi:
    Your notebook does not have a removable graphics "card."
    The graphics processing units are soldered to the motherboard and cannot be upgraded or replaced.
    Your model has the best graphics solution offered, so if it isn't going to meet your needs, you will have to consider selling or trading your notebook in for one with the graphics solution you want.

  • Can I replace the graphics card on Tecra M2?

    I have a Tecra M2 and the screen shows verticle lines across the entire screen. These lines also show up when plugged up to a regular screen.
    I checked the device manager and it says the nvidia card "cannot start." Troubleshoot had me uninstall and reinstall, no luck.
    Next option is to unplug and then plug back in, but is this possible? If it is separate I'd rather just replace the card. Thanks for any help.
    Chase

    According to your error description it sounds really like a GPU (graphic processing unit) malfunction.
    Unfortunately, this is a serious fault and without a hardware replacement you will be not able to solve this problem :(
    This is a worth case because you cannot replace only the graphic card. You have to replace the whole motherboard because the GPU is soldered on the board and cannot be removed easily.
    There is nothing to do buddy.
    Seems you have to contact a technician for assistance.
    Good luck
