Upgrading Desktop m9340f Video Card

Hello,
I need to upgrade my Desktop m9340f's Video Card. By default, the computer brings a Nvidia 9500GS
However, I've understood one of the m9340's shortcomings is the single-slot PCI adapter. On the other side, I've read some forums online where people claimed to have attached double-slot video cards (Nvidia Geforce 9800GTX) on my same system. What is the truth here? Is the m9340 single slotted or duble slotted?
In case it allows only single-slot cards, would the Nvidia Geforce 8800GTX the best card I could get for it?
What cards would you suggest for my system?
Thank you so much.

Hi,
RMA the card for a refund. EVGA's GTX 750s graphics cards will not work in your PC. Try one of the below graphics cards.

Upgrading My Discrete Video Card

Hello, I have an issue with upgrading a video card for the HP Pavilion p6-2022uk, I previously had a different card in the HP a GT 430 installed but wanted to upgrade to the new GTX 750 ti for more performance checking the specification of the new card with a minimum of 300w and seeing that it did not require any external power I believed that card was compatible. So I removed the old drivers of the GT 430 and swapped the cards when I turned the computer on the monitor turned on and the graphics card seemed to be working with the fan spinning but it would not allow for me to get past the bios screen and seemed to reject the card. So after trying to talk to EVGA about a solution with limited success I was recommended to ask for help from HP I have returned the card but if there is a solution you can provide that would be most helpful so that I can reorder the graphics card. The only area that I have not tested is an update of the BIOS found on your site but the only improvements specified with the update was that -
Resolves issue with system hang during POST when a touch screen monitor is connected
Resolves issue with F12 hotkey malfunction after loading BIOS defaults via any method
These two fixes amended by the update did not seem to be relevant to my issue any advice would be greatly appreciated. So the BIOS is now updated to AMI 7.16 23/03/2012
Full specifications of the GTX 750 ti graphics card can be found here http://www.geforce.co.uk/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-gtx-750-ti/specifications

ThinkCentre USFF M57P 9071-A8U: I Want to Upgrade The Graphic Video Card

Hello guys. I currently own an IBM Lenovo ThinkCentre M57p 9071A8U ultra small factor form. I already upgrade the CPU bios to 2RKT64BUS (01/08/14), an Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 2.4 GHz Quad-Core, 4GB PC2-6400 memory ram and Windows 8.1. The integrated Intel Q35 Express video Chipset is great but I want to upgrade it. The system comes with a PCI-Express slot and a PCI slot riser on it. I actually changed the riser to a PCI/ADD2-R Riser V3.1 Adapter Card PCI-E:
Link to image 1
I had to do some adaptations to make this riser fit, but the system accepted the riser and all drivers were properly installed. This riser allows to install a PCIE x1 card. I bought a Lenovo 41T2725 ATI X1600 Pro 256MB Video Graphics Card (GV-RX16PIU-RH LVK-X1600):
Link to image 2
ATI does not support Windows 8 for this graphic card but I used Windows 7 64 bit drivers and software for this. I connect my monitor to the X1600 VGA port. The problem is that the computer boots until the Windows 8 logging screen and after that the screen gets black only showing the mouse cursor. At that particular point, if I unplug my monitor from the X1600 VGA port and plug it to the M57P VGA port, I can see and use Windows normally. But if I leave the computer plugged to the M57P VGA port, I would not see the ThinkCentre bios screen nor the Windows 8 logging screen. The screen is black until the Windows operating system screen. The Intel Q35 integrated video does the opposite of the X1600. This very confusing. I have tried playing with the bios video section but nothing has changed.
I really would like to upgrade my video card on my system. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanking you in advance,

I noticed that there is an ATI Video BIOS Flash Utility for ATI Radeon X1600 Pro graphics adapters which will upate ATI Radeon X1600 graphics adapters to video BIOS S3A67621.109. :
http://support.lenovo.com/en/downloads/ds000784
This is for Windows XP (32-bit) only. I am using Windows 8.1. Would by any chance be an ATI video Bios flash for this X1600 Pro card for a 64 bit operating system??

Upgrading mac pro video card questions

I want to upgrade my video card, I currently have a 7300 gt, and my mac pro is a 2007. Will any video card that uses the same type of pci slot work or does the card have to be specially made for macs. Also what would be the best upgrade for my mac, i read the 8800 gtx wont work, will radeon 2600 work?

Yes, the video card has to be made to work with Mac Pros and I upgraded my 2007 Mac with the 2600 XT and it works great. A version of the 8800 is suppose to be in the works, but a release date is unknown.

Upgrade nw9440 MXM video card

I have this laptop with: Intel Core 2 Duo T7600, 2GB 667MHz CL4, Hitachi SATA 100GB 7200RPM. The video card is a Quadro FX1500M, but I don't need it anymore, I've bought this laptop for professional purpose two years ago, and now I just want to know if it is upgradable and, if anybody has already done it, wich are the steps. Wich is the TDP of FX1500M? Wich cards are now available for the best upgrade?
Thanks,
Marco.

not real upgrade for perfomance but:
-buy 450484-001 from 50$ to 129$ (arggg i missed 3 time video cards ebay's at 50$)
-256mb to 512mb Vram
-3D2006 mark 4110 to 4916 (+20% is a poor upgrade)
-directx 9 to 10 (great for Win7)
-official nvidia drivers support or HP 10/2009 (last FX 1500m HP/Dell(M90) driver = 2007 = DIY for Win7)
-NiBiTor compatibility
any one try to mod his nw9440 with a video card from an 8710w FX 2700/3600m or 945PM won't accept PCIe NB9E?
G71 to NB9E 3D2006 mark 4110 to 7660
!!! FX 2700/3600m about 70 watts

No there is just no way to upgrade the graphics. That is true of almost all laptops. Are you still within the period to return it and buy something with better graphics?

Video cards currently availble for 07 Mac Pro?

Hi,
I got the "stock" card with my 2007 Mac pro. I never upgraded. What video cards are currently available for an upgrade that include dual DVI ports? I'm going to be upgrading to get better graphic quality when gaming under XP (32-bit).
Thanks in advance for your suggestions!

There is no perfect single card for OpenGL (and CL for Snow), and for running games.
A Radeon 48xx would be ideal, or a pair of 3870s maybe. But see if these help
8800 vs others

848P Neo-V video cards

G'Day Everyone,
I want to upgrade my sons video card but i can't find any info about supported AGP VGA Card list for this motherboard.
Can anyone help me please.

This is MSI tested list for the MB. Not all cards that would work are in the list, just ones that were tested years ago on that MB.
http://www.msi.com/uploads/test_report/TR1_582.pdf
From this info you can find a possible supported card from list of retired MSI cards.
One AGP slot supports 8x/4x at 0.8V (AGP 3.0) or 4x at 1.5V (3.3V not supported).

Video cards for Dual 1.8Ghz G5

I'm wanting to upgrade my 64mb video card in my Dual 1.8Ghz G5.
What should I be looking for? Is the slot PCI or PCI-X?
Is there a difference between a "PC" card and a "Mac" card, or could I buy a card from, say, Newegg.com and install it in my G5?
Thanks very much for the help!

KM2M - RAM & Video card...?

Hey I have KM2M series motherboard (via km266 if that helps) and i'm looking to upgrade RAM and video card.
I'm looking at 512MB of pc3200 ddr400 memory, but I see that the motherboard likes 2100. If I use 3200 or even 2700 will the RAM clock down to the required speed? Basically, will I be screwed if I buy 3200 or 2700, or should I just buy 2100? I've seen posts where people have had trouble with 2700 and 3200 but could that be that the RAM wasn't the exact same (brand)? Please advise what I should buy that will work...
Second question: I'm looking at getting a Radeon 9600SE card (it's cheap and has a fan onboard), but i'm just worried about power issues. My power supply is 300watt, will that do for what I need?
Thanks in advanced!

My old pc had that motherboard (KM2M), well it's a very good board, but it doesn't have what you're looking for: great specifications.
1.Ram: you can use PC 3200, but this card only suppports PC 2100 (133 FSB), I was using PC 2700 but I was doing overclocking: FSB 150, so the Ram worked ok, because it was supposed to work at 166 Mhz. So you can get more Ram, but knowing that this board it's not goin to use the additional speed. And yes the RAM will clock down to the required speed. Kingstom are ok, and also Samsumg, Crucial or Corsair.
2.Vid card: Yo should really think about upgrading your mobo if you are going to buy a high end video card (9600, well it's SE version, but it's a 8 x card), so this board doesn't support AGP 8x, it supports only 4x, so, you can use it aldo, but you're not going to obtain what you from a card like this (I was using a Geforce 3 Ti 200 and it was really fine: 4x).
So, another problem is your PSU: 300 w it's obviosly very weak for those high end devices: PC 3200 and Ati 9600. So you could try changing the whole thing: motherboard, PSU, vid card, and RAM: only if you have the budget and if you want to obtain a high end PC.
It's up to you!
And also if you're not going to change te PSU please publish the PSU sepecs: +12v=12a
+3.3=20a

Upgrade Video Card for HP Pavilion a6228x Desktop PC

I'm wanting to upgrade the video card and was wondering if there were any suggestions as to a good card for under $60. I just need something equivalient to "NVIDIA GeForce 7800 GT or ATI Radeon X1950 Pro" or better. I just got Star Wars the Old Republic and my factory istalled graphics card is not powerful enough. I'm a bit confused on what type of graphics card my desktop takes. I did read that it has
PCI Two (One available) PCI Express x16 One (One available) PCI Express x1 One (One available)
Would a PCI Express 2.0 fit in one of these?
One of the cards I am considering is:

Any suggestions would be great. Thank you.

Hi,
You might want to google Stars Wars Old Republic system requirements and see what others are suggesting. Game performance is also tied to the game quality settings and monitor resolution that you want to use.
I suggested these upgrades for another user wanting some suggestions.

Graphics/Video Card [REPLACEMENT / UPGRADE] on HP Pavilion Desktop - Help

I have the following:
HP Pavilion Elite m9152p Desktop
Upgraded to Windows 7 Professional 64-bit (upgraded 11-2009)
The video card seems to have gone out and I have tried the following:
Reinstalling Operating system
Uninstalled & Reinstalled & Rollback drivers
Prior to the above attempts, no changes had been made to software or hardware only leading to the same result: The video seems to be fine and then it freezes and crashes and ultimately has to have a hard-restart at which point, the computer loads the onboard video/graphics.
I need to purchase a replacement video/graphics card, but I am unsure what specs I need to be aware of or what my computer can handle as far as a replacement and maybe a possible upgrade (not necessary) - any help in this regard would be most appreciated.
Thanks!
This question was solved.

I think it is a good choice.
The reviews seem positive for the most part including that the fan appears to be quiet.
I don't know if your previous card had HDMI.
When you install your new video card, it may disable your onboard audio due to the HDMI audio chip on the video card.
If you do lose your onboard audio, after you install the video drivers, reboot the machine, go into the BIOS, find the onboard audio setting. It may be set to Auto or Disabled. Change the setting to Enabled. Save the setting where you made the change and again when you exit the BIOS.
Upon reboot you will have your onboard audio back.
Looking forward to hearing back from you.

Video Card upgrade for HP Pavilion HPE h8-1256s Desktop

I wanted to upgrade my current graphics card which was an NVIDIA GeForce GT 620, the mother board is a H-Joshua-H61-uATX. I recently bought an EVGA GeForce GTX 750Ti Superclock. I unistalled the old drivers took out the old card, added the new one and when I started up my PC i would recive 3 beeps and a black screen. I did some research and found out that it may be due to the BIOS. There is no BIOS upgrade I can find and my BIOS vers is AMI 7.11, 4/28/2012. I would appreciate a list or a recommendation of compatable Video cards so I do not have to keep buying and installing these devices or if there is a new BIOS update.
Graphics card (Bought on Amazon): EVGA GeForce GTX 750Ti Superclock w/G-SYNC Support 2GB GDDR5 128bit, Dual-Link DVI-I, HDMI, DP 1.2 Graphics Card (02G-P4-3753-KR)

Hi,
The EVGA 750 will not work with a version 7 BIOS. Look under Windows 8 for BIOS version 8.19.

PSU and Video card upgrade for HP e9280t

Hello, I wanted to upgrade my PSU and video card. The PSU I would like to get is the SeaSonic S12II 620 Bronze 620W (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151096&Tpk=17-151-096) but I wasn't sure if my computer could handle and hold the PSU. The video card I would like to get is the EVGA 01G-P3-1561-AR GeForce GTX 560 Ti (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130604) but im not sure if my computer can handle this too. I have a HP Pavilion Elite e9280t CTO Desktop PC (http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/product?cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en&product=4066665) can someone please tell me if I can upgrade to the PSU and Video card?

Stuart, welcome to the forum.
The truth is, any video card that will run properly with the 300W PSU in the computer, will not be much better than the integrated video. Most newer mid-level cards require a PSU with a minimum of 400W watts. I have searched for other members many times without any luck. If you want to upgrade the PSU, it will give you far more options.

How or Can I upgrade my laptop's video card?

is it possible? First of all I don't know if my laptop video card is intergrated, i heard if it is, you cant upgrade...here are my specs for my Toshiba Satelite L675D
AMD Phenom™ II dual-core processor N640*
4GB DDR3 memory
500GB Serial ATA hard drive (5400 rpm)
ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4250 graphics

Processor Platform VISION Premium
Video Memory256-1917MB (dynamically allocated shared)
thank you..and if it is upgradable..can you please tell me a good graphics card that can probably run Starcraft 2 on high maybe ultra? something i can buy from best buy or wal mart, not online...thanks

But in my specs it says that i have one free PCI-E slot. I have no idea how to access it nor do i have any intention. (I'm very un-tech savy ) Anyway, is there anyway i could have someone that knows there way around a computer open it up and see if its possible to add another graphics card? Or would i be better off just getting a High-Def monitor (this is an option)?
See above - if you have a laptop, then it is almost guaranteed that you cannot upgrade the graphics. It is 100% guaranteed in the case of laptops with Intel integrated graphics, which you have.
I have no idea why a laptop would advertise a PCI-e slot - Perhaps it has a Mini-PCIe slot that a mobile broadband card can be installed into? Or do you mean the ExpressCard expansion slot?
If you don't have a laptop and instead have a desktop, you probably should have posted a new thread rather than to a laptop thread to avoid confusion.
