Satelite A505-S6025 Nvidia Geforce 310m Graphics Card

Hello everyone, I was wondering if its possible to upgrade my graphics card from the 310m to the Nvidia Geforce GT 330? If so how would i go about doing that? Thanks.  

Ok seriously that arguement is VERY old. You obviously have not opened a laptop since at least 2006. Quit spouting out misinformation. Laptop video cards are typically only intergrated into the motherboard if it is a LOW end laptop. Please consider flipping your laptop over, unscrewing a few small phillips head screws... and taking a look into your hardware before you spread misinformation. THANK YOU. Its not 1999 anymore sir. That being said, I am also looking into upgrading my laptops video card. This has proven to be very difficult on every laptop I have tried to upgrade but there are few cards that are interchangable within Model/Make. sometimes you get lucky... Sometimes youre hosed. 310m to 330m is probably feasible. I am looking into a newer card that is at least DX11 capable... but form factor is the end all be all in laptop hardware upgrades.... not software. That is the golden rule to live by, take a USPS view on the matter.... If it fits, it ships. CPU, RAM, GPU.... My current i3 will be replaced soon by an i7. my 4gb of ram will soon be replaced with 8gb... and the GPU WILL see an upgrade... I may not be able to step up a generation as I want to, but there WILL be a better card. Its sad that so many people STILL are convinced that video cards are integrated. Remember as always YMMV. Certain companies embrace the change and others dont care so much about you being able to upgrade their products (see people that think GPUs are intergrated segment).

  • Will be the NVIDIA GeForce 620M graphic card be compatible with any of Adobe Premiere series?

    Recently I adquired the GeForce 620M graphic card, trying to resolve a problem with my Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 software (Premiere suddenly stopped working, and the only problem was the graphic card, the NVIDIA GeForce 210 series I used to have).
    In order to fix that, I buyed the 620 series, but in the Compatibilities page of Adobe (http://www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/products/premiere/cs6/pdfs/c ompatibiltiy-list-premiere-pro-cs6-only-hw-compatibility.pdf), in any of the Premiere series, CS4, CS5, CS5.5, CS6..., appears the 620M graphic card, so my cuestion is if the card is too recent to admit Premiere Pro.
    Regards.

    Employees and beta test people are not allowed to comment on any future Adobe plans
    Any card will work with CS4 to send the display to the computer monitor
    Hardware acceleration using CUDA cores is only available for CS5 and later
    The official list is only updated as Adobe has staff time to completely test & certify any individual nVidia card... For many others, with at least 1Gig of video ram, use the nVidia Hack http://forums.adobe.com/thread/629557 - which is a simple entry in a "supported cards" file... again, this is ONLY for CS5 and later

  • HP Pavilion 500-336 Desktop PC not recognizing NVidia GeForce GT610 graphics card

    I recently purchased a HP Pavilion 500-336 Desktop PC and I already had a EVGA NVDIA GeForce GT610 graphics card.  When I try and install the graphicas card, I get the 6 beeps. So, I googled the problem and somebody had suggested to disable hyperthreading in the BIOS and go to legacy mode from UEFI mode which I did as well. 
    However, my monitor still doesn't turn on and goes to power saving mode. Please help. The customer service rep said the power supply needs to be upgraded, but I don't think this is true. This graphics card is not that power hungry. 
    Here are the specifications of my desktop: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en&docname=c04345595
    And here are the specifications of my video card: http://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-gt-610/specifications
    Thanks in advance. 

    Hi:
    You do not disable hyperthreading in the BIOS.  I recommend you go back and enable that setting.
    Please see this document for what settings you need to change in the BIOS when you install a non-HP video card...

  • MS6167 - Problems with NVIDIA GeForce FX5600 graphics card

    Hi all,
    tried to install a Nvidia GeForce FX5600 old PC of mine that the kids use, mobo is MS-6167. Could not get this to work. States that it cannot get enough resources (in Windows XP, Device Manager). I have tried to force reasign of IRQ from the BIOS on reboot, and even removed the sound card.
    Could this be a power issue, though I assume the card would just not work or crash.
    Any help apprecaited.
    Thanks,
    Bunnster

    "AMD's 750 Chipset
    Power users looking for next-generation features such as AGP 4X /my marking/ and PC133 SDRAM support are currently out of luck on both AMD's Slot A and Intel's Slot 1 infrastructure, as chipsets that support both features are in the latter stages of sampling among motherboard manufacturers. Before a motherboard can tout such features, the motherboards' chipset must support them. All Athlon motherboards currently available ship with AMD's 750 chipset, which only officially supports PC100 SDRAM and the AGP 2X interface."
    Source: http://www.firingsquad.com/hardware/6167/default.asp
    Ad libris: Meaning, I don't think your Nvidia card can do AGP 2X. Bad news could be you'll have trouble fitting the previous card. Your best bet would be to get a powerful PCI-slot only card.

  • NVIDIA GeForce 9400m graphic installation issue.

    After installing Windows XP with SP2 32-bits via Boot Camp, I inserted my OS X that does all the installation of drivers which is said to include the graphic drivers but after restarting the computer, my screen resolution went to 680x520 and to 4-bits. Everything were big, fat and ugly with geeky colors everywhere.
    I've been trying to solve this problem for about 2 weeks already but still with no luck even asking this question again and again in a dozen forums. People tried and gave me the download links for the graphic driver though non of them works as most gives me the error 'Couldn't locate the compatible driver for your current hardware' or some stuff like that.
    And to anyone of you that has the same exact computer as mine which is the iMac 20inch 2.66 GHz with NVIDIA GeForce 9400m graphic card that could install a working driver and is able to play games now .. PLEASE give me the link to that driver. So that I can test if it's my computers problem before handing it to the stores.
    And one more question - are notebook GPU drivers suppose to work on desktops too? I've received much download link but all I see are notebook GPU drivers. Please help me with this massive issue.
    Thanks in advanced.

    Hey Daveyx1,
    Have you checked all the software updates and installed all of the available ones? especially the EFI firmware? Check the EFI firmware version on your system and verify that is the latest from this link. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1237.
    If the version is not right you need to install the software updates and restart the Mac. After installing the firmware updates install the Boot Camp drivers again.
    Also I know that you had tried most of the possible stuffs to get the issue resolved. However if you haven't tried that please try this.
    1. Boot to Windows in Boot Camp
    2. Right click on My Computer and select Manage
    3. Check the display drivers installed
    4. Right click on that and choose to update driver
    5. When the wizard comes up let it search for the drivers first
    6. If it is not finding the appropriate drivers repeat the steps and choose to install from the disk
    7. Insert the Boot Camp driver disk (i.e. Mac OS X install disk) and try to update the driver.
    This should update the drivers for the graphic card and the issue may be resolved. If the issue persists, please run an AHT as there may be an issue with either the Boot Camp drivers in the DVD or the Card itself.
    You will need to contact the Apple store for a different disk and try installing the Boot Camp drivers or analyzing the Graphic card issues.
    Hope this helps you............
    Regards !!!!

  • I have a MacBook Pro 13inch 2.4GHz (Intel Core 2 Duo, 4Gb RAM, 250Gb HDD, NVIDIA GeForce 320M graphics, SD card slot, up to 10 hour battery life)bought in October 2010 in the UK. The charger has stopped working. Which model and voltage do I need please?

    I have a MacBook Pro 13inch 2.4GHz (Intel Core 2 Duo, 4Gb RAM, 250Gb HDD, NVIDIA GeForce 320M graphics, SD card slot, up to 10 hour battery life) bought in October 2010. The charger has been playing up for a while now - the light going out but coming back on when I move the cable a bit - faulty connection it seems. It has now stopped working at all.
    Apple UK charge a whopping £65 for a replacement - and the reviews are AWFUL for it!
    I need to know which one I need - 45w, 60w and 80w are listed - can someone tell me please? If I'm going to pay this price I want to make sure I get the right one!
    Also, is a genuine Apple one available on Amazon UK, does anyone know please?
    Any help will be much appreciated.
    Meanwhile my battery is going down.....

    Thanks for that wjosten. Much appreciated.
    I've read here on Apple's site that the 85W version will work, as you say, and that it would run cooler with a 13" Macbook - I have a 13" MBP of course but assume this would be the same with mine. I wonder if running cooler is a good thing (it sounds as if it is) and it would be better for me to get the 85W version than the 60W one?
    Then I have to decide whether to pay the (extortionate as it seems to me, though I may be wrong) £65 from Apple (bearing in mind the rotten reviews here of the Apple product), or risk a cheaper alternative from Amazon UK, at around £20 (also with various rotten reviews)... Any suggestions? Please? :-)

  • Does Sims 3 Pets work with Snow Leopard and NVIDIA GeForce 9400 graphics?

    So I recently purchased Sims 3 Pets, because as I'm sure someone has heard, my computer met the tech specs published on the game box. But I have the problem in the game that whenever a horse appears, the game freezes. I've heard that updating Leopard (I have 10.5.8) to Snow Leopard fixes the problem. However, I've also heard that Sims 3 does not work with NVIDIA GeForce 9400 graphics. (But apparently Snow Leopard needs this graphic card to run?).
    So my main question is does anyone know if Sims 3 Pets works with a NVIDIA GeForce 9400 card and Snow Leopard?

    *** Just a Note: I've been playing the original Sims 3 game on my mac since it originally came out. I haven't had problems until this particular expansion pack.

  • Windows 7 driver for GeForce 320m Graphic Card and Broadcom wireless card

    I just got my 11" MacAir (2011)and installed Windows 7 on it using Parallel software. Everything works fine except for the driver for the Broadcom BCM 43xx1.0 airport wireless card and for the GeForce 320m graphic card. Windows 7 cannot find the drivers. I have tried everything to find a solution: Downloaded the drivers from the Broadcom and NVIDIA websites, used the drivers that came with bootcamp and made changes to the nvao.inf file for the graphic card problems but nothing works. Does anyone know a solution to these problems? Many thanks.

    Hi,
    since Parallels is not an Apple product it would be better to use their own Support resources.
    However, Parallels does not use the native (real) hardware of your Mac but virtualizes certain hardware.
    The video adapter is a "VGA and SVGA with VESA 3.0 compatible Video Adapter" and the WiFi is mapped to a "Ethernet Virtual network card compatible with RTL8029".
    For these virtual devices Parallels brings all drivers with it and names them "Parallels Tools" which you have to install manually while in our Parallels Windows virtual machine.
    Refer to the Parallels User Guide http://download.parallels.com/desktop/v6/docs/en/ParallelsDesktop_UsersGuide/
    Regards
    Stefan

  • NVidia GT 610 Graphics Card - Code 12

    I have installed my new NVidia GT 610 Graphics Card and installed the driver perfectly (BIOS is also up to date) but when I check the device manager (via the built in Integrated Graphics) it says:
    This device cannot find enough free resources that it can use. If you want to use this device, you will need to disable one of the other devices on this system. (Code 12)
    I tried disabling the Integrated Graphics and then restarting the system with the GT 610. I can hear the computer reach my log-in screen but I have no picture apart from a black screen and a solid white '-' in the top left corner. I tried to take it a step further by disabling the intergrated graphics directly from the BIOS but when I do that, when the pc starts up I get stuck on the Blue into screen that says "press escape for startup menu" which doesn't work at all, forcing me to turn if off.
    I feel like I am so close to getting my new card to work but I can't figure out what to do from here. I have tried looking for a similar experience using the search function and one dude said he got his to work by disabling "many" "unnecessary" hardware things, but I am hesitant to do that without proper knowledge...
    Please help! I will keep a close eye on this thread in the coming hours (currently 8:54pm here).
    Edit: I have posted the exact same question on the GeForce forums.
    Edit: Troubleshooting tells me that "Hardware changes might not have been detected".

    Actually you may find that you have more success with an AMD\ATI Radeon video card.
    I have experienced that with some motherboards, specifically Pegatron motherboards.
    The problem is that you are delving into the DIY gaming PC realm and  trying to do it with a prebuilt desktop PC.
    Upgrading a prebuilt PC does not always result in a success story. Don't even consider trying to install cutting edge gaming memory modules. That will be a definite disappointment for you.
    You may get lucky with an AMD Radeon HD video card.
    But...You might just run into the same frustrating scenario you are facing today. I wish I had better news to give you.

  • Installing GeForce 8800GT Graphics Card in Early Mac Pro

    When I install the NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT card, is it necessary (or desirable) to remove the existing graphics card that came with the Mac Pro?

    If you have 10.5.6, that is all you need or available under OS X all graphic drivers - outside of the rare "Graphics Update 1.0" are bundled. I actually hoped we would also see stand-alone graphics, but not to be, was a one time shot last year around now.

  • Success story: NVIDIA 8600M GT graphics card defect repaired at no cost

    This is the story of Apple servicing my MacBook Pro with the NVIDIA graphics card defect.
    I had the NVIDIA 8600M GT graphics card defect in my 2 year old MacBook Pro. The symptoms were pinkish images, scrambled and chopped images, and finally leading to no video, all within a matter of 3 days. I called AppleCare using the old number I remembered from my 100mhz Mac days: 1-800-SOS-APPLE. I was greeted by a real person within 3 minutes. She explained that my 90-day complimentary phone service had expired some 600 days ago.
    After I mentioned the specific Apple Knowledge base article that described the defect (TS2377), and that it was covered up to three years out of warranty, she transferred me to a MacBook Pro specialist. Sheri ran me through several standard resets and reboots. She then suggested that it be taken into an Apple store for a genius to look at. When I explained that the nearest Apple Store was an hour away, she arranged for a mail-in service.
    After the call had ended, I received a simple email with her phone number so that I could contact her if I needed to. Another automated email contained my repair case number and a link to check the status online. The online status center is very easy to use. It displayed three steps: Sending the empty box, service in progress and return. FedEx tracking numbers were included with working links.
    The next day an empty box arrived, completely with graphical IKEA like packaging instructions and form fitting foam for my MacBook Pro. I knew when the FedEx truck came around, so I had my computer ready by my side. As soon as FedEx showed up, I explained that the empty box was for the computer and Marcos helped me apply the pre-paid return label and taped the box expertly with tape from his truck. I also placed in the box a copy of the Apple Knoweldge base article and pictures I had taken of the issue.
    Apple had included a small stack of super adhesive pre-cut tape square, but Macros was already taping it before I figured out what they were. The return label was also pre-paid with overnight service.
    The next day I logged into the online support status at Apple.com and checked my status. The tracking number showed it had arrived in Houston, and the three steps had been updated to "Repairs completed" and "Return in progress."
    The return FedEx tracking number was displayed later in the evening, and it showed that it was guaranteed to arrive by 10:30AM the next day. Speedy service! Sure enough, the next day I had my computer back in my hands, all data perfect and intact. I was very worried since I was not able to make a back up before sending it in, and Apple does not guarantee data safety. Apple had replaced the logic board, valued at $700 on iFixit (http://www.ifixit.com/MacBook-Parts/MacBook-Pro-15-Inch-Core-2-Duo-2-2-GHz-Logic -Board/IF185-073).
    The funny thing is, for the past 5 years, I have always cloned my drive or used time machine, but for the past two months I had cleared the backups to make up extra room on my externals. You really never know when disaster will strike!
    Learned:
    - Apple Customer Care is top notch, speedy and their status site is very easy to use
    - FedEx service was very helpful
    - If you have a NVIDIA graphics card, Mac or PC, check if your model is affected. Just today Sony announced that NVIDIA cards with defects will now be covered for 4 years out of warranty. (http://news.cnet.com/8301-13924_3-10307592-64.html)
    - Back up your stuff NOW. Use a flash drive or email files to yourself for a cheap fix.

    got the same problem with my mbp (dec 2007)
    also no video within 5 hours .... also no external video.
    lucky i had screen sharing on so i could check the system profiler via an other mac.
    It couldn't find the 6800M GT anymore...
    did another backup and went to the local apple store
    took a print out of Apple Knowledge base article that described the defect (TS2377)
    and they replaced the logicboard+gpu for free within 10 days ...
    everything is ok now except for my maxmsp copy which thinks it runs on an other machine and complains about a missing licence ....

    Hello, I have a Mac computer with NVIDIA 750M dedicated graphics card and monitor EIZO but the problem was there when I was working with Windows and Acer monitor. When I open a file from Camera Raw in PS this is smaller than the screen so I double-click with the tool "hand" to fit on the screen, but the picture loses sharpness and becomes blurry. If you magnify the image even only slightly with the tool "zoom" the picture comes back clear. In Camera Raw instead is always sharp. I solve the problem by turning off the graphics card in PS but often use plugin that need the graphics card otherwise the processing time is much longer. I ask for help.
    Thanks.
