Yes that model does not havre a removeable graphics card....you would have to exchange the whole motherboard. As stated above, not really practical.

? for the experts regarding the HP Pavilion dv7t Quad Edition (with the new Sandy Bridge CPU's)

Hello,
This is a question for the experts.
The HP Pavilion dv7t Quad Edition has the following GPU:
1GB ATI Mobility Radeon(TM) HD 6570 graphics
Is this GPU GDDR5 or DDR3 in this laptop? I know someone that purchased one from a MicroCenter and it shows GDDR5 on the packaging (http://www.flickr.com/photos/bravoexo/5298674802/) and in GPU-Z, but I called HP support and they said it was DDR3 (although, HP support told me that GDDR5 didn't exist and that DDR3 in GPU's were the most advanced to this date).
Please let me know ASAP, as this is a main factor in me purchasing this or not. I can find other DDR3 gaming laptops out there for less, but if this really IS GDDR5, then I'm sold.

Thank you both for your questions and answers, I was wondering the exact same thing. I'm ashamed to admit I already began the process of perchasing this computer prior to having all detailed specifications made available.
I'm upgrading from a 13.3 inch HP laptop called the dv3510nr. It was never intended for enthuiast gaming, but it has exceeded the sum of its parts. It does have dedicated graphics, backlit keyboard, other novelties that make it the best computer I've personally ever owned.
Few people can say they've managed to run Fallout 3 or Supreme Commander at maximum detail on a 9300M GS. It has 512 MB of DDR2 memory, 4 GB system memory and a 25W P7350 Core 2 Duo processor (2.0 GHz)
Its served me well but mobility is no longer a priority. I waited until Sandy Bridge was announced and took the plunge immediately. 6 GB of DDR3 RAM, a 6570 with 1 GB, 1600 x 900 display AND best of all:
-The i7-2720 quad core processor, (2.2 GHz, up to 3.3 GHz with Turbo Boost)
--for a total price of just over $1,000 after taxes. With 2 year warranty standard.
For brand new, bleeding edge technology not yet even widely available, at such a large upgrade margin at an absurdly low price; I didn't need to know anything else.
So imagine my excitement when I learned this 6570 was in fact based on the old 5770 (the lowest available card with GDDR5 support), not the 5650; and could contain a 1 full GB of the fastest memory technology on the market, GDDR5.
That would mean virtually no bottlenecks in my system as a whole; I don't have an SSD but truth is, I don't like them anyway. They don't last very long with 'wear leveling', cost too much and only impact synthetic benchmarks.
My new DV7 can't get here fast enough.

Is my system DV7t-3300, or DV7t Quad Edition? And how to add more memory to it?

Dear forum,
I have an old notebook computer bought back in March 2010. It's a DV7t series. As it's getting slowly, I'm thinking of adding more memory. However, I'm not sure how much memory the motherboard can support for the upgrade.
I'm stuck with the first step, which is to decide the model number (and then motherboard) of it.
My original order email states the following:
YOUR CUSTOMIZED HP PC
dv7t quad edition
• Genuine Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
• Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-720QM Quad Core processor (1.6GHz, 6MB L3 Cache) with Turbo Boost up to 2.8 GHz
• FREE Upgrade to 4GB DDR3 System Memory (2 Dimm) from 3GB DDR3 System Memory (2 Dimm)
• 500GB 7200RPM SATA Hard Drive with HP ProtectSmart Hard Drive Protection
• 1GB Nvidia GeForce GT 320M - For i7-720QM and i7-820QM Processors
• 17.3" diagonal HD+ High-Definition HP LED BrightView Widescreen Display (1600 x 900)
• LightScribe SuperMulti 8X DVD+/-RW with Double Layer Support
• Webcam Only
• Intel Wireless-N Card with Bluetooth
• HP Integrated HDTV Hybrid Tuner
• HP Color Matching Keyboard
• 8 Cell Lithium Ion Battery
• No Modem
• Microsoft(R) Works 9.0
• HP Home & Home Office Store in-box envelope
However, the bottom of the notebook computer has a label that specifies the following:
Pavillion dv7
Serial: omitted
Product: WH764AV
Model: Q dv7t-3300.
I visited some memory buying website like 'crucial.com'. However, I was prompted to select the model and there were both dv7t-3300 CTO and dv7t Quad Edition. Unfortunately, they resulted in different kinds of memory (although the specs of the sugested memory modules seem to be the same, these two memory modules have different model numbers).
So, what model number my system has? 3300 CTO or Quad Edition?
Perhaps a suitable model number would tell me which motherboard this notebook has. Additionally, can anyone advice me about on how much memory my notebook can support (8GB or 16GB) maximum?
Thanks a lot!

Hi,
Max is 8Gb using the following manual:
http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c01859666.pdf
And from the following site:
https://www.ramcity.com.au/upgrade/hp-compaq/pavilion-dv7-series-notebook/dv7t-3300-cto/73893
The above manual shows you how to add/replace RAM. Looks like you have to buy 2 x 4Gb sticks.
Regards.

Can't install windows 8 on dv7t quad edition

when windows was updating I shut down my laptop by holding the power button few second. after that my hard disc driver broke.. So I bough a new hard disc driver and installed win8. But after 2 weeks my windows crashed. So I tried to reinstall windows 8 but on installation window of the win 8 there isn't any hard disc driver that it can be installed on.. when i hit browse button on the installation there is my hard disck drivers.. but still installation says there isn't any disc driver. So I installed windows 7 instead of windows 8. But there isn't any drivers on windows 7. So I have to install windows 8.. I can't send my laptop back to HP because it'll take allmost 2 montsh shipping both ways..( I'm in Mongolia )

Hello Defun,
What is your product number? I'm afraid you are going to need the recovery discs in order to get things back as they were with Windows 7.
About upgrading to Windows 8 -
Check out this page to see if your computer has been tested by HP with Windows 8.
You can run the Upgrade assistant software, which will scan your PC and generate a report on what is currently installed on your PC is compatible with Windows 8.

Hp Envy Dv7t Quad Edition NOT tested for Windows 10

I have been waiting for 5 days for the windows 10 update, my windows app says notify me when ready, i check tge update history and it has over 10+ failed attempts to install this new operating system.I havnt gotten a notification even tho it has been trying to download but failing. I tried the command prompt trick to force it and i waited 4 hours until it all downloaded. Then it was preparing to install and it failed. I've also checked if it is even compatible as i bought it january 2013 but it had windows 8 at the time. It tells me on the hp site that it hasnt been tested for Windows 10 and that is my theory on why my update has failed constantly. Even the update trouble shooters show the problem and cant fix it. I dont know what to do at this point i know im not going to maually do it using the creation tool. I am hoping i can get answers or get hp to verify my computer so i can finaly upgrade to windows 10 since it has tried to download and now i am in deep teritory of fear ill mess up my computer. If anyone can help get my model verified or give me a logical answer, i will be gratful.

Hi all. First off, I'm on a HP ENVY TouchSmart m6-k015dx Sleekbook, Windows 10. I've had it for two years now. A while back, it fell off of my bed in college but I didn't have any trouble with it until recently.
It took me a while to discover the issue, I thought it was the touch pad because after updating to Windows 10, my buttons on the touch pad will not work. But sometimes when I would adjust my screen, it causes the cursor to move on its own, a bunch of these clear dots show up all down the middle of the screen, and it just clicks and moves things on its own. It's very annoying. The only temporary fix I have found is to use a little pressure onto the touch screen with my hands. It seems to send it back to normal until it acts up again. I'm just wondering, could me dropping it all those months ago be the cause? Should I take it to the shop? It's my school computer so it would have to be either a quick fix over a weekend or something because I need it for school. I've saw others have this same problem and it recommended to download some update, but where I'm windows 10 I can't find it. I just got to thinking that maybe it's where I dropped it a while back. The issue is very annoying and if there's a way to either disable the touch screen or something for Windows 10 to download to maybe try and fix it, that'd be great. It started this over the summer and I'm about to start classes again so I'd hate for this to be an ongoing issue while doing papers and the like.

PLEASE HELP Me Choose the Perfect dv7t Quad Specs

am customizing an HP Pavilion dv7t quad edition notebook PC.
I have a few choices to make. Money is not really a problem, but I don't really want to spend an extra $150 if the difference for the price is utterly minimal. I would really appreciate you reviewing my current selections and determining whether or not I should upgrade or downgrade them, where applicable. Also, I would really appreciate you answering any questions found throughout my post. Thank you so much.
I want my laptop to:
1) Run RuneScape with no lag (except for lag from the game itself)
2) Load webpages and programs extremely fast, and maintain the performance as the computer gets older.
3) I do not want my laptop to overheat. My current dv7t from 2009 becomes so hot every time I use it that I cannot let it touch my skin or it will hurt badly.
4) Have a beautiful graphics display
5) Be physically appealing. My scale is: The Samsung Series 9 is considered beautiful, the Alienware is considered hideous
With these requirements in mind, please tell me whether or not you think my proposed laptop is a good choice. Also feel free to tell me about any other laptops that you think might work well for me. (PS: would the Samsung Series 9 be able to handle Runescape? Thanks!)
1) Operating system
Genuine Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit

One step up: 2nd generation Intel(R) Quad Core(TM) i7-2820QM (2.3 GHz, 8MB L3 Cache) w/Turbo Boost up to 3.4 GHz (+$200.00)
"Both of those processors are rated at 45 watts, so if you go with the lower powered one, you might see just a few minutes of battery at best over the higher rated processor. Since the speed is ever so close, and the features are the same between the two, I would go with the 2720 due to the fact that it's about $200USD less. You will not see a difference in speed for 100mhz. Only long calculations, such as compressing a movie, MIGHT gain you just a minute or so with the extra 2mb of cache on the 2820, but not really worth it I think."
3) Graphics card
2GB Radeon(TM) HD 6770M GDDR5 Graphics [HDMI, VGA]
One step down: 1GB Radeon(TM) HD 6770M GDDR5 Graphics [HDMI, VGA] (-$50.00)
Two steps down: 1GB GDDR5 Radeon(TM) HD 6490M Graphics [HDMI, VGA] (-*75.00)
What is the importance of the memory of a graphics card?
4) Memory
8GB DDR3 System Memory (2 Dimm)
5) Hard drive
1TB 5400RPM Hard Drive with HP ProtectSmart Hard Drive Protection
One step down: 750GB 7200RPM Hard Drive with HP ProtectSmart Hard Drive Protection (-$80.00)

9 Cell Lithium Ion Battery
One step up: One 6 Cell and One 9 Cell Lithium Ion Battery (+$30.00)
Two steps up: Two 9 Cell Lithium-Ion Batteries (+$60.00)
When does it become oversized? does a larger battery make the laptop hotter?
7) Display
17.3" Full HD BrightView Infinity LED(1920x1080)
One step down: 17.3" HD+ HP BrightView LED (1600 x 900) (-$150.00)
Is there a noticeable difference?

Hi,
For computers/laptops, nothing is perfect. You always can find a better one tomorrow. Depending on what do you need/want you can buy a suitable laptop for TODAY.
2. Processor: 2670QM should be fine
3. Graphics: stick with 6770M
5. HDD: I prefer 7200rpm HDD, in theory should be faster
6. 6 or 6 cells is ok, again depending how long you use the machine w/o power point nearby
7. It depends but I prefer full HD (1920 x 1080)
8. I would buy BD/DVD combo as mentioed in the specs
9. No choice anyway
10. BT (Bluetooth) is a technology which allows you to transmit and receive wirelessly over a short distance (I really don't know how far it can go but my phone only works within around 10 meters). You can use it for a BT mouse, keyboard, phone ... Please read more information from this:

Hp Envy 17t-j100 Quad Edition Notebook PC Graphics Card Upgrade

I bought the Hp Envy 17t-j100 Quad Edition Notebook PC a while back and i was wondering if i could upgrade the graphics card on it. When you buy the laptop if gives you an option, you can either buy the Intel Deticated Graphics or the Nvidia Geforce GT 740 and i decided to buy the Nvidia GT 740 because i heard the integrated graphics were not that good for playing games. So i was wondering if i could somehow take out the NVidia Geforce GT 740 and replace with a better graphics card, Would that be possible?
Thanks

Sorry; no dice. The video card is soldered to the motherboard. The point-of-sale options are for laptops with different motherboards. Buying a laptop is like buying a house: think about what you need now and in the future because they are not easy to change.

Graphics Driver for HP Pavilion dv6t-6000 CTO Quad Edition Entertainment Notebook PC for Win 8.1

Hello Everyone,
I currently have an HP Pavilion dv6t-6000 Quad Edition with intel i7 and switchable radeon HD graphics card . I have made the jump from Windows 7 to 8.1 as I am a Current University student studying Information technology and have the need to be updated in terms of technology. I found Win 8.1 to run a bit faster on my PC than Win 7. I have ran into a couple of problems when upgrading to 8.1.
1.) I've been having an issue finding the correct and stable Video Graphics driver for my Radeon HD 6770M switchable graphics. I tried intalling the original Win 7 driver in the HP driver but does not work properly. I have also tried download a generic driver from the AMD Radeon driver website, but the screen is extremly dim when intalled and is almost impossible to use unless I hold a lamp to the LCD screen. The brightness function keys DO get reconized when pressed, but the brighness will not change no matter how high or low the brightness threshold is at.
2.) It is a bit out of topic, but I have also been having alot of trouble getting the validity fingerprint sensor to work with Win 8.1.
I would really appreciate if anyone can help me with these issues or point me in the right direction in order to get them fixed. I am an IT student and have done alot of reasearch on these topics but have been unable to get them to work as intented.
P.S: I have read alot of fixes about brightness using regedit and edditing some values on specific registry entries. I have found them for many other pc manufacturers, but not for HP. Not an expert on registry stuff, but seems like many people get it fixed by doing so. Just an idea.

Due to the age of this model, HP is only providing drivers for Windows 7. After searching through the HP Forum, I was unable to find a satisfactory solution to your issue.
Please contact official HP Customer Support in your region / country, via the HP Worldwide Support Portal, for official assistance with your issue.

Hp envy 15t j000 quad edition ssd upgrade: what to know

Hello everyone so im going to buy an hp envy 15t j000 quad edition for school and was looking online to see what i can upgrade on it to make it faster. Im not very knowledgable with computers so i need lots of help! While doing so i found out the hp comes with a hard disk drive (hdd) and that these are prone to damage over time and dropping, moving, ect. I learned that solid state drives (ssd) are prefered and can make the computer significantly faster and wont be as vunerable as the disk drive. Im upgrading the envy with the NVIDIA GeForce GT 740M Graphics with 2048MB of dedicated video memory, 15.6-inch diagonal Full HD BrightView LED-backlit Display (1920x1080), and the 12GB DDR3 System Memory (2 Dimm) option. Will any of this affect my swapping of the hdd? I also was wondering why the 8gb ddr3 system memory (2dimm) didn't affect the price for switching to the 12gb option.There isnt a difference right? also would the 24gb accelrated cache be of any use? For my last question i think i heard that i would need to clone or buy another copy of windows 8 to put on the new ssd. will there be any problems doing this? Am i in for a headache?

Pepe999
I went on to Tom's Hardware to looking into the 16GB memory.. there is a recent report where adding 16 gb-ddr3 ram.. will increase the life of a SSD drive by 63% compared to 4gb.. here is the link.. thought it was interesting and supported my thinking in reducing the number of HD writes.

thought I'd share it with you.. what do you think..
Did you find the 1tb-SSD? try newegg.

View Solution.

The CPU is not soldered in place but you are going to find that there is not a lot of improvement possible. That is a 4th gen i7 processor and even if you could get one a tick or 2 faster the price would be astronomical not to mention you would void the warranty. Not worth it.
No GPU upgrade is possible. The video is on a chip soldered to the board.
Yes, the laptop has a second hard drive bay and you can get an SSD (regular full sized) to put in the first bay to use as a boot drive. This will speed it up tremendously such that you will not want to upgrade the CPU any more.

Rradeon HD 7690 dual-graphics doesn't work in hp pavilion dv6z-6c00 cto quad edition laptop?

I recently purchased an HP Pavilion dv6z-6c00 CTO Quad Edition Entertainment Notebook PC from HP's online store. The laptop was customized with a Radeon HD 7690M discrete graphics card. There is a "dual-graphics" feature that allows a program to be configured to use either the low-power integrated graphics (a Radeon HD 6520G) or the high-performance discrete graphics (the Radeon HD 7690M). However, even when I set a program to use "high performance graphics", the program refuses to use anything but the low-power integrated graphics. When I use ATI's driver, it calls the card a "6700 series", and the card still does not work; when using HP's driver, it calls it the proper name, but the ATI Catalyst Control Center does not work (necessary to assign programs to the discrete card). There is no setting in BIOS to set the computer to use either card exclusively: in fact, there are no graphics settings, period.
Some examples of the games I have tried are:
- Minecraft (I know OpenGL does not work with Dynamic Graphics)
- Portal 2 (Direct X, so should work in theory)
Will I have to get the "special" BIOS update (outdated) that adds the setting for graphics switching?

I suggest dowloading and installing the latest driver for the radeon HD graphics module from the web support portal for your notebook.
What is the p/n for your notebook? (you can remove the main battery and get it from there or from the HP Support Assistant)

Dv7t Quad - A Conglomeration of Problems

I customized and purchased a new HP Pavlilion dv7t Quad 2 weeks ago and have had it for one day now. I have run into a number of problems and, while at first I wanted to avoid having to send it in, I am afraid my device has too many unacceptable errors to be repaired by any local tech shop. I am making this post in the hopes that you can offer any support possible, but also in the hopes that you can provide me with an email I can contact which will allow me to type everything presented below, and recieve a quick, comprehensive response. Thank you so much for your time.
I purchased this HP Pavilion dv7t Quad because my 2009 HP Pavilion dv7t quad developed an error whereby its screen would go black and remain black after the windows launch animation disappeared. I purchased this laptop specifically because it is advertised as an entertainment laptop, and I expected it to be able to run the MMORPG RuneScape (Runescape.com) at max specs. However, I discovered that on this new laptop, if anti-aliasing is toggled, all in-game text is distorted and distracting black lines are generated in the game’s sidebar. Disabling anti-aliasing is not acceptable as it renders the graphics untenable. My 2009 dv7t was able to run Runescape at max specs without any problems. It is unacceptable that an updated, more expensive model has fewer capabilities than its 2009 predecessor. There are many other examples of how this 2011 dv7t is less able than the 2009 dv7t. Both laptops have 17.3 inch displays. However, when the 2009 laptop opens a webpage on Internet Explorer, Firefox, or Google Chrome, and views the web page at 100% zoom, the page is perfectly sized; on the other hand, when webpages are displayed at 100% zoom on the new 2011 dv7t, they are small and difficult to read. If I increase the zoom to 120%, the size becomes apparently corrected, but select images become distorted.
The “T” Key is sticking. When I press "t" it usually remains locked down, and I have to press it again for it to pop back up, and then press it another time to type the letter t.
There are times when my volume buttons do not seem to work. I will be listening to a Youtube video and press the “Turn volume up” key, which is also f11 superscripted, and the “Beats Audio” volume adjust animation will appear, and the animated CD will rotate, suggesting that the volume is being increased, but the volume does not actually increase.
The Track pad’s multi touch gestures, such as vertical scroll, are virtually nonexistent. The vertical scroll on my 2009 dv7t was without error.
The plastic base beneath the keys is not 100% sealed to the chassis, particularly around the “delete” key.
I purchased “Two 9 Cell Lithium-Ion Batteries” for the sole reason of having been told “By the way, to answer your prior query, the 9 cell battery is not an oversized one, John.” In response to the question: “Is a 9 cell lithium ion battery considered oversized on the dv7t?” However, upon arrival, I have discovered that the 9 cell battery does protrude from the base of my laptop. I want to exchange one of my 9 cells for a 6 cell, and receive the money back for the difference of price between the 2 batteries.
The Blu-ray player & SuperMulti DVD burner protrudes slightly more than it should from the chassis.
The startup time of the laptop itself does not seem to be in par with startup times of other new laptops.
The last ¾” of the lid of my laptop seems to be made of plastic. It was my understanding in all promotional videos that I watched that the entire lid and palm-rest were to be made of metal.

I told you the 9 cell was going to be oversized, but after you ordered I think. Is the resolution on the new laptop higher than the old? That might explain the issues you are having with small text and the rendering issues in Runescape. I don't think you are going to get a comprehensive answer to your problems and am sorry to say it looks like you have purchased something that is not going to meet your needs. The build issues with the laptop are inexcuseable but it sounds like you are a very fussy customer and I am not sure a high-volume company like HP is the place you should be buying a laptop. HP is not going to be happy with me but you might want to consider a custom shop like Sager for a laptop. It will cost a bit more but at the higher price they are known for superior build quality.
