HP How to change your Video card, graphics card

[hulktom9990]

mine didnt even come with a video card.

[animeist72]

Video card=graphics card?

[netnaimo]

yup, make sure everything is unplugged and go at it.

[rickyvanhalen]

@netnaimo is it possible to do this process while the tower is horizontal instead of vertical? (I have the excact same tower)

[DutchDukeMan]

I would try it without the coffee because my pc didn't boot because of the coffee D:

[blackcrow12341]

dude it will be mass up if you happen to choke on your soul call coffie or milk shake and got it all over the inside of your desktop.

[Badassbroadcasts]

@netnaimo i restarted my computer and my monitor wasn't working, i have 2 ports for my vga cable and the bottom one is my graphics card, i took the vga cable out of the bottom one and into to the top one and it works but i cant play games because its not connected to my graphics card

help?

[netnaimo]

@Badassbroadcasts Try going to the website of your video card manufacturer and download the latest drivers.

[Debo522]

@Badassbroadcasts aw man ur screewed

[netnaimo]

From what I know if you're power suply is compatible and the slot on your motherboard is compatible you should be fine. You can always check on the hp site or the video card manufacture site for more info. Make sure to download all the latest drivers. I had issues with my PowerDirector crashing and when I downloaded all the most recent drivers I had no issues with crashing the program. I hope this helps....

Anyone else have advice?

I have HP p6731a its specs are i7 870 @2.93GHz 4gb ddr3 ram and a hd 4550 I was wondering if I would be able to replace the hd 4550 with a hd 5870? I know alll about the size and power but im not sure if the motherboard will be compatible with it please reply

[citystar312]

How come when i start my computer with the graphics card in it and the monitor plugged into my graphics card. my monitor isnt showing any image? is there a way to fix that? because i went and bought like 4 different cords and there's still no image. I dont understand what i am doing wrong.

[bombar418]

[kerdal100]

i have a hp p6823w, amd phenom II X2 3.5 ghz. do you think i can fit a Sapphire AMD Radeon HD 6850 PCIE Video Card in??

[roflcopt3r99]

thanks this realy helped

[christianAFA]

a dude i just got a graphics card and when i put it in my computer wasnt turning on right and when i opend it the card was hot can u tell me whats wrong? o yea and it requirese 300 wat power supply and i only have a 220

[netnaimo]

@christianAFA my best guess is that you need a a 300wat power supply. Might need it for the fan to kick in. Check with the manufacturer to see what video cards can be added to your motherboard first before buying... anyone else have advice?

[basbas63]

@christianAFA Well, get a better powersupply.. because almost no graphics card will work with a 220W power supply

[christianAFA]

@basbas63 is it possible if i just get a regural size power supply and just let it hang out is that possible if i could do that?

[basbas63]

@christianAFA it is possible.. but not something very good to do.. maybe there are solutions for powersupply's you need

[pryt84]

@christianAFA prob the power supply

[tribesclan545]

mine requiers a power supply do NEED to connect it can i leve it

[MrDemonman7]

@tribesclan545 you have to connect the power cable to the card.

[tribesclan545]

@MrDemonman7

geat now i need a new power supply great -.-

[soyfily]

hello friend I install r5450 start and when I look at my desk and I had no sound try lowering sound drivers but I could not stand Rhodesia that just do not grab or I can do

[christianAFA]

can good video cardes go into pci e x16 slots?

[KingOfAceZ1]

@christianAFA Yes.

[SqwishiSqwashi]

woah this is wierd im installing the same video card into the same HP computer andi have the same cup of coffee. like no shit the same exact cup. WHAT THE FUCK

[MrBBOYFreddie]

LOL I got the same pc thx for the vid now I can finally play Skyrim with NO LAG :D

[demonsparkx]

i use beer mug-sized mugs for coffee too :P

[rjet]

I've got the same comp. How did you get your graphics card to work with the integrated video card? for some reason my new videocard will not play SWTOR or League of Legends.

[GamerzHideaway]

@rjet Disable the onboard video, and install the drivers for the new card. Hopefully this helps. Good luck, mate.

[ppspsd]

Where u buy that card ? What type did you buy? This upgrade would it help with laggy game play ?

[netnaimo]

@ppspsd the card is a ATI Radeon HD 5570 with 1GB Memory on board. I bought the computer at costco and thanks to their consierge service... I called them and they shipped me a new one out, got it in three days. try your local staples, office depot on ebay.

[ppspsd]

@netnaimo Thanks brother ! I will give it a try !

[AT25redneckin]

ok so.... if i have a integrated graphics card i can still put a acual graphics card in it right?

[DaNeShady90]

I want that coffee mug!! :)

[stephanisdabest2]

what gpu did u put in?

[ryan015love]

COOOOOFFFFFFFEEEEEEEEE MMMMMMUUUUGGG

[xXpurplenurple007Xx]

Can a AMD Radeon™ HD 6770 play most games in full HD settings?

[oblivian448]

@xXpurplenurple007Xx yesir i have it

[lethos14]

4th cup of coffee jesus thats a big cup!

[ghostliner45]

Thanks man, I sat there for a bit trying to pull it out, then saw this and realized I had to unscrew that Gray part xD. my comp looks just like yours. Thanks for the help!

[mhendersonn]

Thank guys. i finally bought a Video Card!!! :)

[dynastymike]

@mhenderson you probly have a intergrated graphics chip thats what i have

[BlitzSoccerPL]

i have a a simlar pc as yours hp pavilion verde a6645f do you recommend any power supply

[jackdabomb100]

@dabicloud11 yeah I found out that its the power out put that makes it uncompatible I do need a new one but I found a really good one that I can make the price of this but the equivalent of a high end alienware :D

[EliteLennon117]

my exact same computer today must be my luck day

[jackdabomb100]

I have the same computer and i want to upgrade the Graphics card but i found out that it isnt compatible with the geforce GTX 560 TI which is what i was looking for, right now i have a ATI radeon 4550 HD

do you know any good graphics card the equivalent of the 560 TI which is compatible? Please Respond

[dabicloud11]

@jackdabomb100 This is just a guess,But I think for something like a 560 TI,you would probably need to get a new motherboard,I have the same computer aswell,And I just bought a low end graphics card,But I dont know if it will be compatible either.

[MegaPuffster]

Damn... no coffee

[HDtutorials100]

@MegaPuffster your gonna fail then ;)

[wildernes84]

Oh snap! Look! its my computer!

[12DMC81]

I have a Pavilion a6719f and I'm thinking of buying a new graphics card for it and I'm wondering if anyone knows whats the best one to run games like Fallout NV?

[MegaPuffster]

@12DMC81 the gtx 580

[mhendersonn]

I have the same exact HP Pavilon as you. When I opened it up it did not even have a video card in it? :/

wtf right?

[WoWJAKE123456789]

@mhendersonn same with my old one, looks the same i think that ours are older models

[J1mmyG123]

@mhendersonn yours is probably built in he was upgrading his :) i have the same comp and my graphics card is built in and called intel hd or something :)

[NoodlesGaming010]

@mhendersonn hp has intergrated cards so u cant see them ver yweel

[NoodlesGaming010]

@mhendersonn not every hp

[TheFi3Ndx]

@mhendersonn you have a intergraded video car no worries same installation applies

[KaedeProductions]

@mhendersonn You have an integrated chip

[itouchhacker241]

@mhendersonn they have a lot of variations of computers that use that same case, my computer came in that case and then i put it in a cooler master elite 310 with a windows and put in a video card and a new psu as well as some 120mm fans

[MrFuzziiWuzzii]

@mhendersonn

no, not wtf. Thats probably because it uses an integrated graphics card.

[mhendersonn]

@MrFuzziiWuzzii Yeah I got it situated about 4 weeks ago.....i know this now..

[MrFuzziiWuzzii]

@mhendersonn

I noticed that after I replied haha. Sorry. What card did you get?

[Ptro001]

@mhendersonn maybe because it has onboard video duh >.< you probably dont have the same one.

[mhendersonn]

@Ptro001 Yeah already figured that out. maybe u should read the comments before posting....retard.

[GamerzHideaway]

@mhendersonn Sorry... Jeeze, I just edited a mean post and then I read that? What a demon douche.

[GamerzHideaway]

@mhendersonn Umm... That's what's called "onboard video". You'll have to get a dedicated card. And upgrade the PSU (Power Supply Unit) when you do. The ATI Radeon HD 6000 series is a good graphics line to consider. And I'd recommend getting a 500W PSU, but make sure it has all the connections that you need. Hopefully this helped.

[Skydogg5555]

@mhendersonn its called integrated graphics

[KingOfAceZ1]

@mhendersonn When you buy a computer from hp or w/e, There is an integrated graphics chipset.

Once you put a new gfx card in the motherboard immediatley changes to the new graphics card.

[CancelOutStudios]

@mhendersonn Thats because it's integrated. You will want to buy a video card so you can install is on your computer.

[CesaaarBOY]

@mhendersonn you probably have a on board Video card. You can buy a new one and put it into the PCIe slot.

[Krycho9PowrotReturn]

I've done the same thing and my PC makes a beeping noise for some reason. What's happening? :S

[CheepMovieProduction]

it should... but always check the manual to make sure.

[firekingster]

I'm trying to add nvidia gtx 550 ti and I have almost the same computer. Will it run on my 300 watt psu

[biogamer100]

@firekingster NO that card will fry your computer.

[firekingster]

@biogamer100 Ok ill just have to buy a new psu. How about 460watts?

[biogamer100]

@firekingster I'd say go for 500, and make sure you get a good company's psu. Read the reviews on them.

[TheEnsnare]

@firekingster no no no... you will break your shit. Get a 500 watt +

[TheLegitPat]

diggin' the mutton chops ;)

[wildcribme]

I got mine at Costco, love it works great.

[NnintendoGamer4911]

[IDaagz]
