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.

If you are running Windows 7 then I haven't seen a post on this forum indicating if the EVGA 750 will work when the BIOS version 8 is set to legacy mode.

This is all do able for me I just need to know which new card would be compatible with my model of notebook. If anyone knows which one or where I can begin to look for one I would greatly appreciate the info. Thanks!

Hi:
The only way you can upgrade the video in your notebook is to replace the entire motherboard with one that has a better video solution.
However, when you look at chapter 3 of the service manual at the link below, you are already at the top of the mark regarding what video chip is on the available motherboards.

So, you will either have to live with the status quo or buy a new notebook.

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.

Graphic Card Upgrade for HP-Pavilion dv6t-7000

Hello. I have the HP Pavlilion dv6t-7000 with the NVIDIA GT650M 1GB grpahics card. Now because of my work, i need to extends my graphic card memory. So I want to ask if my laptop is possible to upgrade to GT650M 2GB card.
My product number is A5F74AV. And my wannary is end on 8/24/2013.
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.

Here are the specs for your HP Pavilion a1020n Desktop Computer and it's PTGD-LA (Goldfish3) motherboard. According to the specs, your computer has no dedicated graphics card expansion slot. The only expansion slots available on this system are three traditional and/or conventional PCI slots. One of these slots currently contains a K56flex modem.
Here is a selection of PCI graphics cards that may meet your requirements. Please note that these cards may also require you to upgrade your power supply as well.

Video Card Upgrade For G5 PowerMac

Hey guys.
I'm starting to find my G5 a little sluggish. Here are the system specs.
Power PC G5 Dual 1.8GHz
4GB PC3200 Ram (kingston kit)
300GB Velociraptor Hdd
Geforce FX5200 64MB
Super multi Drive
Etc.
I'm thinking my weakest link is my video card. Just watching youtube video's is a real pain. Choppy playback on non-HD video also. Ive been eyeing a ATI Radeon 9800 Pro for the last week. Would this be a decent upgrade? Thanks guys.

Hi-
I'm thinking my weakest link is my video card.
A monkey with crayons is faster......
Ive been eyeing a ATI Radeon 9800 Pro for the last week.
The 9800 would be a good upgrade over a 5200.
Not sure what price you are looking at, but a flashed Geforce 6800 GT can be had for almost the same money (historically) and is faster than the 9800.

Video card upgrades for Mac Pro 3.0Ghz quadcore, Video card upgrades for Mac Pro 3.0Ghz quadcore

Looking for advice on Mac Pro with a dying video card. This the early Xeon dual core 3.0Ghz with an ATI Radeon X1900. Maybe the Nvidia Quadro 4500. I know there is s Quadro 4800 which I don't know if will will work with this older Mac Pro. Links and advice is appreciated.

Both cards will work with your computer although that's not stated on Apple's website. I'm using a 5770 in a first generation Mac Pro and it works quite well. I can't get the best performance from it because my MP only has PCI Express 1.0 slots.

HDMI Video input upgrade for HP Pavilion Elite m9060n Media-Center PC...What is simplest route?

The Media Centre came with TV tuner etc; I have upgraded the Graphics card to Nvidia GeForce 450GTS which has two HDMI outputs. I need an HDMI input to get the best signal input from my cable box...the best input the existing TV tuner offers is "S-Video",which ain't exactly high-grade. What is the simplest solution for a tech-challenged individual like me? (I don't really need "tuning" facility...but require some form of input. If you help a media-moron the gods will bless you.

You cannot run an HDMI out from a cable-box to a PC Tv-Tuner card in port. THe main reason is industry standard copy protection and HDCP. Unfortunately, you have an NTSC only tuner - so the answer is no HD from cable...only ATSC from an aerial antenna. If you install a QAM tuner, you can run the coax directly in and get unprotected HD programming.

Can you help advise re video card upgrade for my G4 MDD?

Hello all. Just upgraded to Tiger from 10.2.8 a couple weeks ago. Should have done it long ago... like having a new computer! I want to get more out of the OS for mostly graphic apps like PS-CS2, Painter, Freehand, Fontographer, etc. Right now I have 1.5 GB of RAM & will probably max it out pretty soon.
No video or games (at least for near term). Have been doing homework by lurking here, studying mfr. sites & reading things like John Siracusa's great article (book) on arstechnica.com: "Mac OSX 10.4 Tiger". I spent a lot of last night digesting that. So I think I know what I want to do, but would appreciate opinions.
1. I'd like to get a graphics card that will get my G4 to Core Image-enabled. According to this -- http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/coreimage/ -- and other advice I've run across in these forums, I should probably get a Radeon 9800 (or 9600) Pro Mac Edition. The downside w this is just that they're currently not to be found at any dealers I've called or googled because of the AMD merger/backorder situation. Same goes for the 9600. Bummer. In the meantime I'm wondering if one of Nvidia models listed in the Apple page might work in my machine. Probably not... but does anyone know different? Here are the models listed:
nVidia GeForce FX Go 5200
nVidia GeForce FX 5200 Ultra
nVidia GeForce 6800 Ultra DDL
6800 GT DDL
I think I've seen most of these configured for AGP 4x, as I would need. Just don't know if any would fit into my G4... or if it would support the power requirements, heat levels, and so on that these things apparently generate.
2. I have another requirement besides just running Tiger happily. I have hundreds of fairly big image files that all still need a lot of work, for a book project I've been commissioned to do. Average file size around 200MB. And more than half of them are in a "Legacy" proprietary format used by an out of print app called Live Picture. So even just to convert all of them from that IVUE / FITS format scheme I still need either classic or 9.2 for a while. I can still do some things in L.P. better than in Photoshop.
It's a pretty interesting piece of software. The IVUE file is the base bitmap image. All corrections are in Vector layers on top. When done, the layers you want to apply are turned on and the final (or workaround buildout) is rendered as a TIFF, PS or stn file. (It also has a great prepress filtering engine to optimize cmyk for specific outputs). This app is VERY monitor drawing intensive - especially for layers with textures or selective color mods. When I was an early adopter in the program years ago, the developers constantly told us to do things like use as small a window as possible; turn off antialiasing unless really needed; build out intermediate IVUE's before collecting too many complex layers, and things like that. It has it's own VM system, and it does not like another Virtual Mem. running. Of course in Classic you can't turn off the OSX VM!
Development on this app stopped the arrival of OSX, and I think even before OS9! It was crash-prone back then, and of course is even more fussy in Classic. I can boot in OS9, but for some reason prefer the "security" of protected mode, since these new-fangled machines no longer have that civilized reset button.
So if I understand things properly, I want a graphics engine that will take the load off RAM for Quartz Extreme tasks. I've come to think that maxing RAM AND VRAM utilization will let me do more before the crash. Am I right?
Not necessarily the same needs as for Photoshop in Tiger; but for me right now this is my critical/important working environment, as this is a big paid project (it will be a vintage watch coffee table book - which draws from a couple of the world's notable private collections). It shouldn't be long before I'll be getting a MacPro anyway. Am sort of holding out for the sophomore edition, and Leopard.
What would you guys do? Thanks in advance for your consideration. I will greatly value your input.
Best regards,
Mike

Thanks very much for the info. Kind of what I thought.
Re their price gouging - Ouch! A 66% markup from retail, and they're refurbished. I think I can wait a month or so... of course if those cards were dc'd, I might consider it. But I talked to a guy at ATI, and he didn't give any such indication.
I did find a GeForce4 Ti4600 (NOS) for a pretty reasonable figure at another site, but that's an older, slower card. I'm impatient, so I'm tempted, but I think I'd be kicking myself if I didn't wait for the better solution.
Are you saying that I won't really do any better in Classic with the ATI, compared to my stock GeForce4 32MB? Forgot to mention I'm using a 22" Cinema (ADC), if that makes any difference. And I'll be running Classic probably on top of Jaguar (I installed Tiger on a fresh new second internal drive). I thought I'd skip mixing Classic with Tiger altogether, but when I booted up the first time, there it was in Sys. Pref's. I guess it saw OS9 on the other drive during install. That's sort of funny.
I guess my question is mostly answered. Will put up the flag shortly.
Thanks again.

Video card upgrade for powermac g5 dual core

will the NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT Graphics Upgrade Kit for Mac Pro work with a PowerMac G5 Dual Core?

Unfortunately, no. Although both cards are PCI-Express the difference in the card's ROM (the G5 card needs an Open Firmware compatible ROM, whereas the Mac Pro needs an EFI compatible ROM) make them incompatible.
Assuming you currently have the nVidia GeForce 6600, you could upgrade to either the nVidia 7800GT (was originally a build-to-order option) or ATi's X1900GT. Both are available from OWC and are very similar in speed to each other. Both are considerably faster than the 6600.

Video Card Recommendation for Power Mac G5 Quad

Can anyone recommend a video card upgrade for my Power Mac G5 Quad?
I am now running the nVIDIA GeForce 6600 card that came in the machine, but I'm wondering how much performance increase I'll see with a large image library in Aperture if I upgrade. I'm interested in all comments.
Also, is there a "medium" upgrade and a "kick-***" upgrade?
Thanks!
G5 Quad / 4.5GB Mac OS X (10.4.8)

I hate to say it: At the moment there is no graphics card upgrade available for the G5 Quad and the other PCI-Express Power Macs. There are a lot of threads about this topic in this forum. It is simply a shame that Apple does not offer any graphics upgrade for their former top of the line machines - but they do offer them for their new Intel Mac Pro. Maybe one day ATI will offer an upgrade, but at the moment this is just a rumor. All you can do now is to buy a reflashed PC version of the GeForce 7800 or buy a ridiculously priced spare part GeForce 7800 from a store who is willing to sell you one (there is one on the web but i forgot the url).

DVI & ADC video card upgrade???

What can I get to replace the stock 64mb AGP card (at least I think it is) in my MDD Dual 1.42 machine. I currently run two Acrylic Cinema Displays, a 20" via DVI and a 17" via ADC...
Is ADC going to limit my options? If so, I can use a second ADC-DVI for the 17" monitor.
Any help would be great.
Thanx

Okay, so it sounds like I should "dump" the ADC idea.
Then an I looking for a card with 2-DVI or 1-DVI and 1-VGA ???
I've followed several of your discussions, but still need a little help with the Video Card upgrade education. Flashed cards kind of scare me, but are they okay to use? I don't know if I could tell the difference anyway. Asking a seller on eBay if it is in most cases won't get you anywhere either.
You've talked about the 7800gs card. Any others I could consider? I've read that some cards don't work in a FW800 MDD machine.

Mac pro 8 core 3.1 randomly freezes after video card upgrade

Hi,
I just installed an ATI 5770 as a video card upgrade, plugged my new LED cinema display 27 and everything seems to work fine.
Sometimes though, while working with Aperture I noticed the Mac Pro just freezes, although the mouse works, I cannot do anything and I'm forced to press and hold the power button for a reboot.
This happended randomly 5 or 6 times in a couple of weeks and only while working with Aperture.
Any thoughts? Anyone having the same issue?
Thanks for your reply.
Guido

Running Lion or SL?
Tried holding Shift key down and do a safe boot after those freezes.
Use Disk Utility from another boot media to repair your drive.
Do you have enough RAM? is Aperture library on non-boot drive? Does it have 30% or more free? more is better. Same for the boot drive which sholdk be small and 50% free.
Corrupt library. Corrupt preferences (if there were none before, there likely are now after those hard restarts, to data files and to the disk directories).
