This doesn't work. Get a Sun branded card.

My iMac is in the return program to change video card, how can I contact Apple ?

Hello
I just saw that my iMac bought in 2011 is just in the replace program for video display card. How can I contact Apple to change freely the video card ?
Thanks
Gilles

Apple has announced that Mid 2011 iMacs have a defective ATI GPU and they are being repaired for free. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5167?viewlocale=en_US
Simply take the iMac to an Apple Store or reseller. Make a backup of your data before taking it in

How to change video card on my laptop satelite L300D, please help, games wont work

and it only rates 3.0 index score ... really not applicable for gaming ... my need for speed games wont work... any can help me what would i do, so that my games would work ? ... any guides? ..please reply my post! ..

There aren't any laptops that I know of that can add another graphics card. There are a very few higher end laptops that have removable graphics cards, but for the most part on Toshiba's you can only replace it with the exact same type even if it is removable. I think you are wasting your time and money trying to upgrade the graphics on that model.
If you don't post your COMPLETE model number it's very difficult to assist you. Please try to post in complete sentences with punctuation, capitals, and correct spelling. Toshiba does NOT provide any direct support in these forums. All support is User to User in their spare time.

GT70 2pe domi pro Change Video Card Possible?

if post wrong pls move thx
just want to know is there have chance to change my 880m to 980?omg msi upgrade to fast..i just buy this 5months ago now have 980....so there have a chance to change my GTX 880m to 980?

As the FAQ page states, MSI doesn't support it.
Generally, it's said to be a 50/50 chance that it'll work.
I've considered upgrading my older GT70 0NE to something newer, and I'd probably use a GTX980M. Overall though, I just don't have the cash for it.
The 980M is a pretty decent upgrade, but even from the 880M it's not that huge. The difference between even my 680M and 780M/880M isn't HUGE enough to warrant actually taking the chance and doing it.
At that point, I'd probably just consider buying a whole new laptop.
But in your case, I'd probably just stick to the 880M or whatever you've got. You won't see that huge of an increase by switching except at huge 4k resolutions. I'd probably just pass it up until you need a new laptop.

Video Card Confusion

Greetings. I currently own a Dual 2.7 DP G5. When purchased, I had Apple install the NVIDIA GeForce 6800 Ultra DDL video card. I am getting ready to purchase the new Mac Pro 2.8. Although a Mac user since 1984, and a bit of a "power-user," if there is one thing I know absolutely nothing about, it's the world of video cards.
With that being said, my question should be fairly easy for any video-card "guru."
If I buy the new machine, should I get it with the stock card and then install my current card, or does this technology advance so rapidly, that although when I purchased the card, it was considered "very high-end," - it ain't so hot, now?
Should I stick with the stock card? Spending an extra $200 on the The GeForce 8800 GT is an option. The one thing that puzzles me, that I have read, is the following: The GeForce 8800 GT video card provides higher performance when playing games but does not seem to support rendering Core Image effects as well. I never play any games, but I do want to drive a new 30" HD and the older 23" Cinema display.
Any help that anyone can offer, will be greatly appreciated. - Frank

A G5 graphics card won't work in a Mac Pro, even though they are both PCI-Express. They have different firmware.
The GeForce 8800 GT card should be faster than the standard card, but apparently some more work is needed on the drivers or pro video software to take advantage of it.

Skype call crashes video card driver

So today i tried making a skype call on a Win 7 (64bit) pc and my monitor went black, can't say what changes caused this to happen last time used before changing Video Card a month ago, cause i use my phone version more often. So i run ATI Sapphire R7 260x, latest drivers up to date. All windows drivers up to date. Maybe someone has a sollution. Tried to look up in search but only one topic like this and it's quite out of date. Any questions about system i can answer.

Try the solutions in this thread:
http://community.skype.com/t5/Windows-desktop-client/Constant-Crashes-since-AMD-Driver-Update-Skype-...
It is ultimately going to be either a configuration of the drivers, a catalyst issue or due to those particular drivers. I've been wanting to try out ATI cards again but similar issues such as this have haunted me in all my ATI purchases. I've always found the key thing is to stick with a driver version that is most stable possibly holding off on the latest and greatest drivers if a workaround isn't available.

System PSU requirements for new Video Card

I need to know if my system can support a new video card (fx5600 or radeon 9600 up) considering that I only have 300 watts psu. What voltage railing and how much current does these cards use? I cannot find any technical specs for these cards so I cannot compute for the power requirements my system will need if I change video cards.

Given a 300watts PSU, I would not placed my bets on either cards as the Fans don't really eats up the powers, it's the CPU + RAM + Mobo + VGA that are the main power consumers!!!
Considering a recommendation for you to go with the current PSU you have, most probably a GF4 MX440 will max out every supplement there.

[VIA] MSI KT3 Ultra-ARU and a MSI FX5900XT 128MB DDR Video Card

Does any body out there know if a MSI KT3 Ultra-ARU and a MSI FX5900XT 128MB DDR Video Card will work well together?

like the grayone say, is true. for more ensure, try and search the graphic cards support list for your board at MSI (Sorry cause i don,t no is where the site located)
in my opinion, most is compability for your card, when is a AGP slot.
Except the new one like the AGP slot, call AGR( Accelaration Graphic Riser slot) that really need to find a compatibility graphic cards.....

Is it possible to change the video card of a pavilion g7-1075dx?

So, I have an HP Pavilion g7-1075dx Notebook with Windows 7. I'm an avid gamer and wish to play the newest games. However, there's one problem thats keeping me from doing so. Alot of the newer games require newer video/graphics cards. This particular laptop has an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4250. The newest games seem to require ATI Radeon HD 4850 and above. This is the only thing thats keeping me from playing games like Starcraft II on the highest settings OR in the case of Star Wars: The Old Republic, it almost keeps me from playing the game, period, due to the graphics being too much for my current card to handle, causing massive lag. I was hoping I could change the video card. Upgrade. However, i've heard that with most laptops or notebooks you can't upgrade anything other than the RAM. I'm hoping anyone on here can help me out and tell me if it is possible to get a new video card for my laptop. We don't have a desktop computer so this laptop is my only hope for a long time to play newer PC games.

Alright, let me put this in a simpler message: Does anyone know if it is possible to change the video card currently in my laptop, the HP Pavilion g7-1075dx, for a newer and better one. ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4250 to ATI Radeon HD 4850 or higher.

Mountain Lion change color profile when use discrete video card

MacBookPro mid 2010. Update Samsung SSD 830.
Mountain Lion 10.8.2 just installed (new installation).
Reset PRAM and SMC. Done. No result.
Try with GfxCardStatus. No result.
When the system uses the discrete video card changes the color profile.
I'm not the only one with this problem.
Someone managed to solve the problem (really)?
I DO NOT ACCEPT COMMENTS OR ANSWERS USELESS.
Sorry, but slightly altering after losing three hours in forums where no one ever answered ...
Thanks.
Stefano.

Let's see...
Sounds like you're running into an expected issue if you make an alias to removeable media. The same thing would happen if you made the alias to a folder on a DVD-R disc or CD-R. If you eject the original, you disable the alias.
If you copy the entire SD card volume to your drive, the PRIVATE package should copy across. Then, as a folder on your hard drive rather than a volume on removeable media, you could make an alias to the STREAM package for quicker access later.
I'm pretty sure that Handbrake, like Prmeiere Pro, can see the MTS files directly. That is, it's not dependant on the other folders in the PRIVATE directory sturcture. As such, you could copy the contents of the STREAM package to another folder on your drive. Just be mindful of the default MTS file names if you're using more than one SD card (you don't want to accidentally copy 00001.MTS from one card over 00001.MTS from another card).
As long as Handbrake sees MTS directly, you could even rename the MTS files after you've copied them.
On a side note, I almost always archive my SD cards with the data structure intact. More often than not, that file structure is important to corretly access the video stored within that structure. If something unexpected happens while working with the MTS files, it is good to have the original file structure to go back to. Although, SD cards are getting to be so low cost that sometimes I just label the SD card and store it for archiving.

Changing the order of precedence of video card ports

My video card, a Radeon HD 5450, has three outputs: HDMI, DVI, and D-SUB. I have my TV plugged in to my computer via HDMI and my monitor via DVI. I ignore the D-SUB port.
The HDMI port appears to take precedence. When I start my computer, the resolution is configured for my TV, which is then mirrored to my monitor. This isn't a problem, because I configured X to switch resolutions (so the monitor is correct, and the TV disabled) as soon as X starts. But this doen't take into account the TTY screens and the other operating systems I have installed.
Is it possible to change the order of precedence of ports on my video card? Do any video cards support changing this?

Have you tried doing it through Catalyst Control Center (or whatever it's called these days)?
Or maybe there's some jumpers/headers on the card itself.
The only [remotely] similar experience I have had was with an nVidia card. It had VGA, DVI and HDMI. The HDMI was inactive during POST, and there was nothing could be done about it.

Post your changes upon disabling discrete video card.

Hi, I had problems with disabling discrete video card on my laptop and results are very disappointing. I think its good to compare my results with others. So could you post it, pls.
For example my results:
- laptop asus x53sc
- nvidia 520mx
- temp: 57-58 -> 52-53 Celcius (fan still make noise, on windows its 45 C and fan is unhearable)
- battery: 1:50 > 2:30 (on windows it is 3:30 geez)
So as you see its not much. Maybe I do something wrong, thats why I want compare it with others.

I am not sure if simply echoing "OFF" is the right way to do this:
sudo cat /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch
0:IGD:+:Pwr:0000:00:02.0
1:DIS: :DynOff:0000:01:00.0
I have a Sandybridge - NV GT540M hybrid, so maybe this doesn't cover your cases.
But there were a lot of changes in kernel 3.12 regarding hybrid laptops, both for ATI/AMD and nVidia, so many instructions you find in the wiki and elsewhere could be outdated.

Changing sim cards without losing music and video on iphone

I have an iphone 3gs, with an Australian account. I have gone on a trip to London and have obtained a payg sim card here. Before I left I unlocked my iphone with my provider and am looking to use the UK sim card. My concern is that if I change sim cards I need to restore my iphone. Does this mean that I lose my music, video and podcast files? All the originals are on my pc at home in Australia. Is there a way that I can change sim cards without losing my media files in the iphone?
thanks

I too have an account with 3 Australia (now known as VHA) and am using it in Malaysia during my holidays here. Anyways to your question:
No if done properly you don't even need to restore your iPhone. If your phone is already unlocked just chuck in the new SIM card and that's it.
