Thinkcentr​e M52 8113 Graphics Card

I've just bought a Thinkcentre PC to replace a frankly superb laptop that decided it wanted to die; purchased a ATI 5450 1gb card too, but have since discovered that the Thinkcentre's don't like the ATI 5xxx series cards, and there are other huge compatibility issues when it comes to upgrading the video.
What PCI-e cards would be best suited for this PC (I can't find any comprehensive compatibility lists anywhere!)
Or, am I just better off getting a semi-decent standad PCI card.
Cheers
Simon

Hello
I have the Lenovo Thinkcentre M52 model 8125 EU1 
I am interested in upgrading the video card.  Would nVidia GTS 450 card work?
I am interested in upgrading the processor any idea on this?
I am interested in replacing the fans inside with better fans any ideas on that?  I can take pics and get model num of fans if someone can help. 
This is an old computer but I am upgrading it for different reasons.  #1 I have it tweaked to browse websites and perform MS Office functions faster than most people's year old computer.  #2 I am learning all the things I can upgrade and have already upgraded the HDD and RAM and prefer to learn on old rig.  #3 Sentimental.

  • Looking for a Good Newer or at least better Graphics Card For M58 ThinkCentre

    I'm trying to find a graphics card for my M58 ThinkCentre. I know it needs to be low profile. but i need something that will fit into my Pc. I got one of the low profiles before and found out the fan was to big even with the case off i couldnt fit it. Can anyone help me with this? Giving me some Links or Ideas on what will be able to use for my pc? Im trying to at least get a 1 gb one so i am able to play my steam games that i have. All i need is the updated Graphics card for them. Also something in the range of $30 to $70. if not possible thats okay at least ill get a idea.

    So this one? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150711
    Unless you have a tower case this won't work. It's a full-size card.  Your original post said you needed low-profile, and this is not such a card.  I assume you have a SFF case if you wanted a low-profile card.
    That's why I suggested the low-profile Sapphire R7-250, which is single-slot, low-profile, low-power, and still GDDR5 memory with a 72GB/s bandwidth.  Also, the retail carton contains BOTH (a) full-size bracket if you want to use this low-profile card in a full-size case, and (b) low-profile bracket if you want to use this low-profile card in a SFF case.  As I mentioned, there are three digital connectors: DVI, miniDP, and microHDMI, and the retail package also includes two adapters for those smaller connectors so you can use normal full-size DP and HDMI cables to connect to your monitor 
    The earlier posted link (by Toruk-Makto) to a 250e is broken, so I don't know what that card that's describing.  But any low-profile R7-250e card I've found myself (e.g. this one from XFX) has two bad things going for it:
    (1) it's memory is DDR3 instead of DDR5, which right away sets its bandwidth to about 1/3 that of the Sapphire R7-250. You want DDR5 memory if you can get it.
    (2) it doesn't indicate that it comes with a low-profile bracket as well as a full-size bracket (as the Sapphire R7-250 does), so even though the card itself appears low-profile in size you won't be able to install it in a SFF case unless you have a low-profile bracket (as the Sapphire R7-250 does). Maybe it's just the writeup for the R7-250e which overlooked the second low-profile bracket also included, but the picture shown is with a full-size bracket.
    Note: the full-size bracket on the XFX R7-250e supports full-size DP and full-size HDMI as well as DVI.  The low-profile bracket on the Sapphire R7-250 supports mini-DP, micro-HDMI and DVI.  The retail carton also includes two adapter cables so that you can connect full-size DP and full-size HDMI cables, connecting them to the adapters.  Personally I would buy a separate straight-through cable with the proper desired connector at both ends, as I don't like adapters.  So for example I use a miniDP->DVI cable (from Monoprice) in one of my machines that has this card and two monitors, to connect to a second monitor which only has DVI, as I was already using the DVI connector on the card to go to my first monitor which also only has DVI.

  • ThinkCentre A62 Type 7057 new graphic card

    Hello everybody,

    It should have an output for hdmi (and display port if possible). If possible it should support an uhd/4k monitor, min. full hd and should cost less than 80$ or 60€.

  • W540 Graphics Card Clarification

    I had one clarification regarding the graphics card I chose for W540 which was "W540 NVIDIA Quadro K2100M 2GB" but when I got my spec confirmed it was changed some thing like "NVN15P-Q3Opt(K2000Mfollowon) Graphic Card".
    Are both these represent the same thing or the one I got is something different.

    Hi gaugeta123
    If I am not wrong. NVN15P-Q3Opt(K2000Mfollowon) is just a codename for NVIDIA Quadro K2100M 2GB. So, technically both are the same.

  • Why can't I see my ATI graphics card

    I bought LENOVO ThinkCentre Edge 72 last year (I don't know the exact model, is it marked on the case somewhere?) and was under the impression that it has an ATI graphics card, but when I go to the devise manager I can only see an "Intel(R) HD Graphics" under Display adapters. Why is this, maybe I was wrong and it doesn't have an ATI card?

    Launch Disk Utility and repair permissions for the Mac OS X containing harddisk, reboot and see if the problem solves on its own. Sometimes software installation messes up some drivers ( kexts ) to load properly that worked before. Repairing permissions is a standard routine that can help some weired issues. You can also try to reinstall the latest OS X update 10.5.8 to reinstall drivers that might have become damaged over time. 
    If the camera or Cardreader came with specific OSX software I would suggest a reinstallation of that.
    Resetting the PRAM ( to fix corrupted preferences ) would be also a advise.
    All in all OSX can run with no problems for months, but sometimes the underlying UNIX architecture just needs a bit of mainteance; the permissions are always a starting point to fix.

  • M91p dual monitor graphics card issue

    Hello,
    My work recently purchased a Thinkcentre m91p - model number 7052C9U without realizing that it was not dual monitor capable.  We're a small business and have no IT division so it is up to me to solve this problem for myself. 
    Ive been doing some research via google but have not come to any real conclusion about which graphics card I should get that is compatible and will allow me to use 2 monitors.
    Can anyone here direct me in this regard? Im looking for a quality yet inexpensive graphics card, compatible with my model of Thinkcentre, that will allow me to go dual monitor.
    Thank you in advance,
    Brian

    I'm confused, it has 2 monitor ports, a VGA port and a DisplayPort.
    If you are not using a DisplayPort capable monitor, which many are not, you do need an adapter for that port, ie. DisplayPort to DVI.

  • 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)

  • M55e Graphic card

    Hi All, i have a M55e (9632-AB3), bought a 5450 graphic card and after installlation just realise it will not work.
    Found on the forum, users mention 5xxx series and 6xxxx will not be supported. But i found this website show 6450 will work. http://www.4allmemory.com/video-card/lenovo-thinkcentre-m55e-desktop/
    Just wondering if anyone have success in installing this card on m553 without the 4-2-3-3 post BIOS error?
    I am thinking of either replace the card with 6450 or GT210.
    Thanks
    Solved!

    What card did you get specifically? I have a ThinkCentre M55e 9632-A94 and I struck out with an XFX 5450 card (got the 4-2-3-3 beep error, which seems pretty common, and couldn't get it to work even by changing BIOS video settings).
    Trying to decide if next I should try the Geforce 210 like you, or the Asus ATI Radeon 6540 like it suggests here: http://www.4allmemory.com/memory/lenovo-thinkcentre-m55e-desktop/

    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.

  • Is it possible to upgrade/add a graphics card to a Pavilion dv7-7000 laptop?

    I've been doing a lot of research lately, to mostly no avail, about whether or not my HP Pavilion dv7-7025dx laptop can have a dedicated GPU added to it, as currently it only has the integrated Intel HD 4000 Mobile graphics card.
    Mostly I've come across the unfortunate agreement that most laptops cannot have their graphics cards upgraded/swapped out, since the graphics card is soldered on to the motherboard. However, after talking to an HP "support representative", they said they believed it was possible to add a graphics card, as long as it is compatible with the HM77 45W UMA Motherboard my computer has.
    Furthermore, after finding the maitenence and service manual online for my computer ( http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c03221579.pdf ) it says that it could have come with switchable graphics, specifically the Nvidia Geforce 630M or 650M. 
    So I am wondering, is it really at all possible to add a dedicated graphics card, either by having switchable graphics or something else? Or am I stuck with the integrated Intel HD graphics? 
    If I can upgrade/add a new card, where would I be able to find/buy a compatible one, and would I be able to install it myself or would I need to go to a local computer repair?

    Hi,
    You can't add a dedicated graphics card to the system like this. The vga is soldered to the board so no way you can just plug it in like on a desktop. However, you can buy a new motherboard with the dedicated graphics card on it. It also requires a new heat sink. 
    Manual: http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c03221579.pdf
    You need a 682040-001 board plus 682061-001 heat sink to have a dedicated graphics card on your laptop. Have a look on ebay for the part numbers.

  • How to backup files onto external hard drive if my MacBook's graphics card is broken?

    Hello,
    I have a 15" 2012 Macbook pro with 2gb of ram, i7 processor, and a 250 gb Hard drive. In the middle of using my computer, the screen went black. Upon rebooting the computer, I noticed gray and white horizontal lines running across the screen, but I was still able to see the apple logo and loading indicator in the background. As soon as the login screen appeared, the screen went black again.
    Genius Bar Diagnosis:
    A few days later I took my computer to the apple store to have them diagnose the computer to determine if the hard drive was corrupt or if it was just a display issue. They found that the hard drive was still functioning properly, so no information was lost. The problem was that the graphics card needed to be replaced. So they offered to ship my laptop to an Apple repair facility in Houston, Texas (nearest one to me) and replace the graphics card, as well as any other parts that seemed to be damaged, for a flat rate of about $315. They recommended that I back up my hard drive just in case they found an issue with it (despite nothing showing up in the diagnosis at the genius bar) because the technicians at the repair facility will just swap it out for a new one.
    My dilemma:
    The employee at the genius bar gave me a list of Apple Authorized Service Providers that could help transfer the data from my macbook's hard drive to an external hard drive. I got a quote from them for $150, plus I would have to pay for a new external hard drive because my other one is full. In an effort to save money, I want to see if there is a cheaper way for me to backup the hard drive by myself. I have a pc laptop that still works fine, so I have been using that since my MacBook Pro died on me. Is there any way I could use that other computer to somehow backup my macbook's hard drive? Or would I need another mac to do the transfer? I have looked into buying a hard drive sled, but I don't know how those work, and I may not have all of the right equipment for it. If that is something I have the right tools for, and it's cheaper after buying all the accessories, then I would much rather go that route than taking it in to get serviced at an AASP store. Please help!
    I'll give good ratings to those who give me useful advice.

  • NVidia Settings for Two Different Graphics Cards?

    I just built a new system for video editing with Adobe CC 2014 including both the Quadro K4000 AND the GeForce GTX780 DirectCU II OC graphics cards. I was wondering what are the best settings in the NVidia control panel for apps such as Premiere Pro, After Effects, Speedgrade, Encore, etc. I see that there are global settings and app specific settings.
    One question I have concerns the CUDA cores. Should I select one graphics card over the other or use the global (all) setting? How does that work? For CUDA, if I select Global, does the system decide automatically which card to use or does it combine the CUDA cores of both cards?? Seems like an important distinction.
    Also, I have two monitors: ASUS PA279 (2560x1440) and a JVC PS-420W (1920x1080) How should these be connected to the computer for best performance and picture quality? Should I use DVI or HDMI connections?
    And, of course, the Quadro K4200 just appeared on the market, which offers almost double the CUDA cores and 4 GB RAM instead of 3 GB on the K4000. Should I return the K4000 and replace with the K4200? price difference not much.
    The rest of my system includes:
    Processor - Intel i7-4930k 6-core 3.4 GHz
    Motherboard - ASUS P9X79-E WS
    RAM - Corsair Dominator 2133 DDR3 64 GB
    System drive - Intel SSD 530 Series 240 GB
    Storage - WD Black 16TB (4x4TB) RAID 0
    UPDATE - I wrote to PNY because it's their Quadro K4000 card, and this was their reply to me:
    Hi Alex,
    Thank you very much for using our NVIDIA Quadro by PNY professional graphics boards, and for contacting PNY Quadro Support.
    Our NVIDIA Quadro K4000 is an excellent choice for supporting Adobe Creative Cloud 2014 for video editing. 
    Forgive me, but we do not recommend installing Quadro and GeForce graphics boards together in the same configuration.  That does not mean that you cannot do it, and honestly, in Windows 7, it may actually be OK to have both cards installed (each with its own driver), but we still do not recommend it, and do not support it. 
    Furthermore, I support Quadro products only, not GeForce products, so I do not have a lot more to say about the GeForce card, other than to say that GeForce cards are intended for use supporting games and home use, while Quadro graphics boards are intended for use in workstations, supporting professional applications such as Adobe Creative Cloud 2014.
    I recommend installing the Quadro K4000 into the primary (top) PCIe x16 slot, and to install the latest ODE graphics driver for it:
    http://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/77637/en-us
    I recommend using the default settings in NVIDIA control panel.  The system will use the card in the primary slot. While Adobe CC applications are multi-GPU aware, and designed to automatically use the second GPU to improve performance, I feel more confident that you will see a benefit by using a second Quadro card in the secondary PCIe slot.  I do not know whether Adobe CC will use the GeForce GPU to boost performance, or not (as again, this is not supported or recommended). 
    For the Asus PA279, I recommend using a DisplayPort (DP) 1.2 cable (or perhaps a dual-link DVI cable) to connect it to the K4000.  I recommend using a single-link DVI cable (or perhaps a DisplayPort to HDMI adapter, together with an HDMI cable) to connect the JVC PS-420W to the K4000.

    What a stubborn machine! Whenever I set the CUDA setting to GTX780 and hit 'Apply' it would jump back to the Quadro. Even after changing the Global setting to the GTX780 and back to Premiere it would do that. After a few times, it finally changed to what I wanted. Now Premiere, AE and Speedgrade are set to GTX780 for CUDA. However, there is a graph that shows GPU Utilization and it shows the Quadro still doing the brunt of the work - about 50-60% compared to the GTX at 5-8%. I suppose that's a different setting I need to change?
    I had both monitors connected to the Quadro. I just put the 2nd display on the GTX. Does it matter? And does it matter what connector type - HDMI, DVI, etc.?
    I set the BIOS to Gen 3 for the slots that the GPUs are in. And enabled 'Above 4G Decoding'. That Quadro is a PCI E 2.0 card. I see a 'little bit' of performance improvement playing back 3 layers of video with effects Magic Bullet Looks and different blending modes. It does not like the Neat Video noise reducer and some of the other effects, though. Still pretty crippled. Maybe a hard drive issue? I've got a 4 x 4 TB RAID 0 WD Black series on the onboard controller. 64 GB RAM is plenty.
