Video upgrade for DV7 4087cl laptop?

Hi guys, please someone could tell me if it's possible to upgrade the video for my DV7 4087cl laptop?
Currently it has an ATI Mobility HD 5000 Series and an Intel integrated... it's possible to choose wich one to use according to the need.
So I want to upgrade from my i5 processor to an i7 quad and I'd like to know if I can put a video card in it.
Thank you for the help!
Fabio

Hi Fabio,
See Page 98 of your Maintenance & Service Guide for a list of compatible processors.
Sorry to say, but it's not really practical to change your video adapter - your existing Intel chip physically soldered to the Motherboard and as such, is not an upgradeable component.

Best low buck video upgrade for Digital Audio

I just purchases a Digital Audio G4/733 with the original GeForce 2 AGP video card. If I want a better video card for online games (for my kids), what would be some good choices (for no more than $50- $60 used- don't mind eBay).
How would a used GeForce 4 or Radeon 7500 stack up against the GeForce 2? I'd like ot try to avoid flashing a PC card if possible (unless someone else already has done it and tested it in a Mac).
Alternatively I have waht I think is a GeForce 6200 lying around that I couldn't get to work in my PC. Since I have nothing to lose with this card- has anyone flashed one of these to Mac and used with 4X AGP?
Thankd, Steve

As a co-author of 6200 ROM I can speak highly of the cards, but they aren't really in same league as 9800.
Core Image is a great thing, frees up CPU from drawing much of desktop & goings on there.
8500 was good in it's day but is leaving your CPU doing work that a 9800 would be more than happy to do.
Flashing a 9800 can be done in a Mac provided you have a PCI card to "see" from.
PC versions sell for as little as $15 on EBay and using the reduced 9800 ROM from STrangedogs / Macelite you have a guaranteed card. Just be sure to get a PC 9800 that matches the standard image of a 9800 Pro. (128 Megs RAM on a 256 bit bus, red card with 60's looking silver fan)
The 6200 is an IDEAL card for Cube.

AC wifi card upgrade for dv7-6b77dx?

Hi. I'm considering purchasing a router utilizing the new AC wireless standard and I'm wondering if there are any AC wifi cards that are approved for use in the US with the dv7-6b77dx? I was looking specifically at the Intel 7260HMW but if there's any other AC wireless card that's approved for use I'm open to alternatives.
If there aren't any currently approved for use, is there any expected timeframe when one will be? Thanks.
This question was solved.

Thanks Huffer. I thought that was probably the case but figured I'd just check anyway. Good info though to know that HP doesn't add new wifi cards to the approved list with bios updates. Not what I wanted to hear of course but at least I know now not to wait for that and go with a USB adapter instead if AC wireless is something I really want.
FYI though for anyone else considering this upgrade, I just tested an AC USB adapter from my local Best Buy along w/a new AC router and I wasn't that impressed (great at short range but no better and actually worse than N at a distance which is what I really wanted it for). Maybe that was just the router and adapter I tried (both Linksys) but for now I've decided to just return those and stick with the laptop's Centrino N card.

Sound and video drivers for G60-453NR laptop?

Will HP be providing updated Windows 8 drivers for G60 laptops?
Thanks,
David

Hi David,
If Windows 8 drivers are released for your notebook, they will be posted here.
HP is not going to support hardware for Windows 8 on any system purchased before Oct 1st 2011. Most Windows 7 drivers will work in 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. This upgrade guide for Windows 8 provides a lot of information that is needed for anyone considering upgrading.
I hope this helps,

Video Upgrade for my P7-1380t

Hello,
I just purchased a P7-1380t and there wasnt an option to upgrade my video card.

JoeGanna,
As stated in my previous post "Additionally, most PCIe x16 v2.1 and v3.0 graphics cards shoulld work in your system as well."
That is to say, PCIe v2.1 x16 and PCIe v3.0 x16 cards should also work in your computer. If you wish to future proof, go with a PCIe x16 v3.0 card. If you don't care and want to spend less at this time, go with a PCIe x16 v2.0 card.
Please send KUDOs

Video Upgrade for Pavilion a430n

I'd like to upgrade the video card in my Pavilion a430n but I don't know if it would make sense to do it. A friend of mine said that you can't put mag wheels on an Escort and expect it to go any faster.
I did install a Nvidia Geforce 6200 card some time ago which works okay for most things. I'm an avid adventure gamer and according to a game I installed recently, I have "low end hardware". I don't have any PCI express slots so the card would have to be PCI and those are hard to find.
So what's the best graphics card that I could get that would be compatible with my computer?

Hi,
If you are an avid gamer then it's time for a replacement PC.
HP has some very good PCs for gaming depending how you configure the PC and are willing to spend.

VIdeo Upgrade for Omni 200-5280qd

I've got an Omni 200-5280qd, which apparently uses the Quanta ZN2 (Matadi) mothboard, which has an MXM3.0 video card slot on it. When I purchased this machine back in 2009, I specced it with the Geforce GT230 Video Card option. I would like to continue using this machine for at least another year or so, if not longer, so what are my upgrade options.

Here are the specs for your HP Omni 200-5320a Desktop Computer. While you may be able to change the graphics card in your AIO computer, it doesn't use a standard card like in a desktop. Your computer is more like a notebook computer than a desktop. Changing the graphics card will be time consuming and expensive. You should be able to source an upgrade through HP.

Video Upgrade for Dual-Drive G4?

Hey Mac Gurus,
I have a 2001 Quicksilver upgraded with a 1.467 "Mercury Extreme" processor. The G4 also has a "GeForce2 TwinView" card, and two hard drives - one runs 0S9 and the other OSX.
I'd like to upgrade to the fastest video card that can function in both OS9 and OSX on a Quicksilver.
Thanks for your ideas!

CPU and motherboard upgrades for DV7-2278ca

Hi
I have a DV-2278ca laptop with Intel Core™2 Quad Q9100 2.26-GHz with 12-MB L2 cache and 1066-MHz FSB and ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4650 discrete graphics subsystem and 1-GB of dedicated memory.
I want to upgrade them to something that uses second/third generation INTEL (I5/I7)
Is it possible? if yes what are my options?
Thanks!

I am going to be honest here. The chances of upgrading those components is very low and not very likely to work with that notebook case.
A second generation Core i5/i7 process is two generations away from the current processor which will require a motherboard upgrade. I'm certain you are aware of this since you mention upgrading the CPU and the motherboard. This is an issue since the case for the notebook was specifically matched to the motherboard it came with. It is possible that finding one that supports what you want and fits that case will be challenging. It can also add up in cost and risk. Risk being the components just don't work or a different feature of the notebook doesn't work any more.
I did do some research to find other posts, in this forum and outside this forum, where others have successfully changed those components. I found plenty on replacing it with the same motherboard, but none that were specifically upgrading it. Perhaps I did not use the right search terms. Notebooks are generally intended to be as they are configured with limited upgrades available for the hard drive and RAM.

Video Upgrade for G5

Hi,
I finally have Aperture up and running to how I think the program should behave. However, I am finding at times, that Aperture lags quite a bit. From what I have read, this seems to be related to the video card. I am currently using a Dual Core G5, 1GB ram, and the Nvidea 6600. Are there any upgrade cards available for this machine, as I specifically purchased it to run Aperture?
Thanks
Glenn

go to www.welovemacs.com. i was able to purchase the nvidia gt 7800. this is the exact card that apple offers as part of their upgrade. it's expensive..over $700 but trust me, it works fine. **** with the warranty. if i have to take the computer in for service i'll put the old card back in. and i also agree with you, apple didn't help out at all. they really ticked me off for sure. i find that folks in this forum know a **** of a lot more than any apple procare or apple store. at the stores the idiot mac genius's (idiots) are arrogant kids only trying to push a product. and the icare... should be called i don't care....even with a stinking schematic of the mother board in hand couldn't figure out what i did on my own. trust me... welovemacs.com is great. i had the card in a couple days and aperture was twice as fast with the images viewing on the screen.

Video upgrade for 1287c pavillion desktop

I have tried two different video cards to up grade my pc, First was a Radeon 7790 that just gave me total blue screen at start up..Up graded all the drivers still no luck, took that card back and purchased a Geforce gtx 750...This one takes me to the blue start up screen and one beep from the mother board , I would appreciate any help or suggestions

Bug in hal video quirks for IBM X30 laptop

With the default settings the radeon quirk is added to quirks causing the system to hard lock as soon as dpms blanks the screen. Adding a match that disables the radeon_off quirk seems to solve the problem but should not be needed. Clearly a bug in the freedesktop fdi file where the X30 with intel 82830 graphics is confused for the X31 with radeon.

I agree. There are bugs. Looks like Flash Player was updated this past April.

Hi,
Yes, according to a service manual for Dv7-4000 you may upgrade to several Intel Core i7 processors..
Intel Quad Core i7-840QM 1.86-GHz processor, SC turbo up to 3.06-GHz, 45W - 612260-001
Intel Quad Core i7-820QM 1.73-GHz processor, SC turbo up to 3.06-GHz, 45W - 583053-001
Intel Quad Core i7-740QM 1.73-GHz processor, SC turbo up to 3.06-GHz, 45W - 612259-001
Intel Quad Core i7-720QM 1.60-GHz processor, SC turbo up to 2.80-GHz, 45W - 586170-001
The part numbers are important and when you will look for the CPU, use the part number for searching on ebay or google. The same CPU with a different part number may not work, it must be the same part numbers as listed above..
Dv6-7000 /Full HD/Core i5-3360M/GF 650M/Corsair 8GB/Intel 7260AC/Samsung Pro 256GB

Cpu upgrading for gaming.

I have a Hp envy with a Core i7-4510u Cpu and a GeForce GTX 850M.
it runs pretty well for gaming, but i was wondering if it would be better if i swapped out the Cpu for a different kind, and what models i could exchange it for.

Hi,
What is your computer ? Is it a laptop ? If yes, save money to buy new machine because upgrading video card for a normal laptop is from impossible to costing heaps, more than buying a new, better machine.
