Is there anything I can do to upgrade the video card so I can upgrade to iMovie 2013 or am I out of luck?

Is there anything I can do to upgrade the video card on my iMac so I can upgrade to iMovie 2013?

Can I upgrade the video card in my 2009 iMac with the new ATI 2 GB VRAM card?

I am looking for more video RAM for video, CGI and animation work in Blender.
I may purchase Final Cut Pro X in the near future and I need to make sure there is enough video RAM to be able to work with this version of FInal Cut.
I, currently, use Final Cut 4 Express and though this runs fine, through Rosetta, on my current setup, I fear this much newer version may need more graphics power than I have, now.
I, also noticed some lag when working with Blender.
No where near as much graphics or video/animation lag as when I using Blender on my old G4m but it's still slightly noticeable.
I realize I may have to install this myself.
Can I purchase, somewhere, Apple's 1 or 2 GB ATI card seperately or from a third party vendor and install, myself.
I have seen posts that tell that the 27 inch iMac has a removable video card and is not soldered to the logic board like in the 21 inch models.
If true, is there a complete procedure for the iMac breakdown, installation of the video card and reassembly procedure?
My iMac only has the stock 256 MB VRAM graphics card.
If the take down looks more difficult than I feel I can attempt, I have an Apple authorized reseller, repair facilty here, in my area.
Could I purchase the card and have them install it for a fee?
ThanX for all of the info and advice, in advance
Michel

You will need to check if your model originally was offered with a custom build option that included a different graphics card. If so, you may be able to have it done; here is a fellow who managed to do it on a 2011 iMac (graphics card not soldered) and the model originally offered a better card option:

Is this yours:

In particular, click on the link in this section of the specs:
I'd check either with Apple and/or an AASP to see if it can be done with yours or if yours is one of those where it is part of the Logic Board/soldered to it.

Looking to upgrade the video card and power supply in the K330

Hello, I'm looking to upgrade the power supply and video card in the Lenovo IdeaCentre K330 but I need to know if these parts will be accepted by the mobo.
Here's the card name (no link, don't know if theres a restriction to off site links) ASUS 2GB GDDR5 DIGI+ VRM technology Graphics Cards HD7770-2GD5
The power supply name follows: Xion High Performance 1000 Watt ATX Power Supply XON-1000P14F
Thanks for reading, and extra thanks for a good reply

Thanks for replying, I have looked into other PSU's and came up with this: XFX PRO750W Core Edition 80+ Bronze ATX 750 Energy Star Certified Power Supply
Feedback? And main question is, will they both (video card and PSU) be compatible with the motherboard that come standard in the K330?
I don't really have a need for the front panel except the power, and backontrack buttons.
Also, the reason why I'm getting a high wattage PSU is because I might later decide to build my own PC with the upgraded parts, and put the old parts back into the K330

Tecra A9 - Is it possible to upgrade the video card?

Hey there,
I have a Tecra A9 PTS52E and it has Intel integrated graphics. I've read that this means I might not be able to upgrade to a better graphics card.
Is this true?
Thanks

Hi glintings,
> Is this true?
Yes, its true because the graphic card is fixed on mainboard so an upgrade is not possible.

I want to upgrade my video card in my HPE H8-1020 - It is a Eyefinity Radeon HD6570

I want to upgrade my video card in my HPE H8-1020 - It is a Eyefinity Radeon HD6570. I want to upgrade to a professional monitor for photo editing and would like to know what is available?

Jimg-evv, welcome to the forum.
What is the make/model of the monitor that you want to buy. I will provide the information for you, but it would help me to know more about the monitor.
You can upgrade the video card. However, most mid-level cards require at least 400W to operate properly. The power supply unit (PSU) in the computer is 300W. A card that would work for your needs would require a PSU upgrade, as well.
I recommend at least 500W; 600W would be even better because it would allow for future upgrades. I like OCZ and Corsair PSU's.
You would need a PCI Express x16 video card. I like XFX, EVGA, Sapphire and PNY in that order. If you upgrade the PSU, this card should work for you.

CAN I UPGRADE MY VIDEO CARD ON MY LAPTOP? I'M USING HP PAVILION DV4-1125NR

I'M PLANNING TO UPGRADE MY LAPTOP SINCE MANY SOFTWARE GAMES REQUIRES HIGHER VIDEO CARD. IS IT POSSIBLE TO UPGRADE MY VIDEO CARD? I'M USING HP PAVILION DV4-1125NR.

Not possible Unfortunately...all cards nowadays are built in only
It was possible in the old days
but laptop manufacturers found it more "profitable" to make it not, this way the user will have to buy a new laptop every few years.
there are some third party solutions but they aren't effective really

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.

Is it possible to upgrade the graphics card on a mid 2012 MacBook Pro? And is it possible to upgrade the RAM without voiding the warranty?

Hi I was wondering if it is possible to upgrade the graphics card on a MacBook Pro and the RAM without voiding the warranty? I have a gt 650m in my MacBook Pro, non retina, and to me, its not enough power for me, so i was looking around, and I found a retailer that would give me a nvidia gtx 660m for a decent price. Also, the ram needs to be at least 12gbs, to ensure that my computer would run fast.
If you can help, please tell me,
Thankyou.

No, the video card cannot be exchanged - you have a pretty decent GPU there; not sure why you'd want to switch it out. You can upgrade the RAM to a maximum of 16GBs. Apple recommends upgrading in matching pairs, so I don't really think I'd try 4GB and 8GB stick.
Both Crucial and OWC have memory available for the new Macs. Both are reputable dealers and know Macs well and I would only buy from these sources (and I would buy Crucial, were it me).
Although your Mac didn't come with a users manual outlining the installation of the additional RAM, you can download the late 2011 model users guide as the models themselves are almost identical.
Good luck - write back with any questions.

Is It Possible To Upgrade The Graphics Card In A Late 2006 MacBook (original)?

I have this Late 2006 Macbook, that still runs great and everything, but the only problem iv been running into, is video. So when i watch a video in QuickTime Player, or QuickView, or even YouTube, the video just randomly starts to flip out. So, is it possible to upgrade the Graphics Card?

Sorry, not possible.

Can we upgrade the graphic card on macbook pro 13 inch mid 2012

I just bought my macbook pro 13 inch mid 2012. I am wondering can i upgrade the graphic card to NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M discrete processor with up to 1GB of video memory?

Nope - you're stuck with the Intel 4000. If you wanted a higher-performance GPU, you should have bought a 15".
Sorry,
Clinton

Dv6-6052ea (LL050EA). Can I upgrade the graphics card?

OS: Genuine Windows 7 Home Premium 64
Here's the spec: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c02787054&tmp_task=prodinfoCategory&cc=uk&dlc=en...
Is there any way to ugrade the graphics card without buying a new laptop? Or allocate more dedicated RAM?
The BIOS is Insydeh20 F.1B and there are no options to alter any graphics settings. Is there any way round that?
Not that I know a lot about computer specs but the GPU seems to be the reason I can't play games on decent settings and it's driving me mad.
Cheers

Hi:
You could upgrade the video in your PC to the Radeon HD 6770 with 2 GB of dedicated memory, but the entire motherboard would have to be replaced.
The costs attendant to doing such an upgrade would exceed the cost of purchasing a new notebook with the graphics solution you were looking for, when you consider the money you may recoup selling or trading in your current model.
There are no settings in the BIOS or elsewhere to allocate a different amount of memory (dedicated or system) to the video adapter. It is all done automatically.

Tecra A6 - Can I upgrade the graphic card?

I have a Tecra A6 A60E (171) with 1Gb memory and the Intel Express 950 video chipset set at max memory useage 128Mb.
Is it possible to either upgrade the memory allocation to 256Mb max or install a graphics card?
Shaun

Hi!
Sorry buddy but here in the forum are so much threads about upgrading the graphic card and CPU so I can prefer this Toshiba document:
http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB9401AX0001R01.htm
And yes, if you have more RAM you will get more video RAM. As far as I know up to 256MB video RAM are possible.
Bye

Upgrading the Graphics Card in HP ENVY h8-1414 Desktop Series PCs

What are the steps you need to do when Upgrading the Graphics Card in HP ENVY h8-1414 Desktop Series PCs, with the HP M3970AM-HP (Angelica2) Motherboard. As it has no onboard video, so if the new card isn't installed correct you will not have picture on monitor.
Going to install Radeon HD 6950 / 70 2GB DDR5

Hi:
The only advice I can offer is to make sure you change the 2 BIOS settings required to be changed when you install a non-HP video card.
See this link...
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&dlc=en&docname=c03653200&lc=en&jumpid=reg_r1002_us...
Also before you install the new video card, make sure you uninstall the driver from the old video card, shut down the PC and then install the new video card.
To uninstall the driver, go to the device manager, click to expand the display adapters category, right click on the display adapter listed there, select uninstall and check the uninstall driver box. Do not reboot as prompted, shut the PC down.
However, I have no idea if the video card you intend to install is compatible with your PC.

Upgrading G4 Video Card Problems

I have two G4 computers that I have tried to upgrade to System X. Both of them basically crashed.
1) My tech replaced the hard drive in one, but it still doesn't work: If you leave it for a while and start it, it seems to boot fine, but as you work on it, patches of squares, partial windows appear, and then everything starts to go crazy. If I restart it right away, it never completely reboots, the screen develops vertical lines and it tells me to restart my computer.
2) This one (a friend's computer) I downloaded System 10 and it was fine. He had very little RAM, so he went and bought more. We installed the new RAM and then went online to upgrade to the newest version of X. It locked up and when I try to restart it, the screen gives me lines and then locks up again.
What is up with this? Another friend had the same thing happen. I have spent $350 on a new hard drive, CD burner and the tech to install it all, and now he says there is something wrong with either the video card or the logic board. I feel like a poker player who is "pot commited" and betting on a losing hand!
My friend said screw it and went out and bought a new one. I can't afford a new one, but now I have his and mine and I was hoping that between the two of them I could make one work. His is older but is still a G4. Ideas?

Hi and welcome to Discussions.
Depending on the exact G4 model(s) you have, a firmware update may need to be applied if it hasn't already been:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86117
The following link should help you identify exactly which G4 model(s) you have and whether a firmware update may be applicable:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58418
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=42739
OS X also seems to be quite picky when it comes to RAM and memory that's slightly out of spec may cause problems. If you have any third party DIMMs (memory modules) installed, you could try removing them, assuming you'd still meet the minimum requirements for OS X.
For future reference, hard drives and CD burners etc are considered customer installable parts in the G4 towers and installation instructions can be found here (depending on the model):
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=75312
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=75313
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=75314
I assume the computers were okay running OS 9 before hand?
Do you still have the Apple hardware test CD that probably shipped with the computer(s)? This should include a VRAM (video RAM) test etc.
