Acer :: To Upgrade Graphics Card
Dec 16, 2008
I have an Acer ASPIRE 5735-4624. It's a widescreen, I don't know if that matters(15.6" HD Acer CineCrystal LCD), It has:
*Intel Pentium dual-core processor T3200
*2GB DDR2
*Mobile Intel Graphic Media Accelerator 4500M
I'm wondering what are some good options to upgrade to. I've seen a couple of card but I'm not too sure which is compatiable and what not. I'll list some of the ones I've seen in the next post. Plz let me know if there is any more info needed.
The cards I've seen:
*ATI (Radeon) 9200 SE AGP Graphics Accelorator
*ATI RADEON 9550 256MB AGP VIDEO CARD
*ATI Radeon 9700 AGP 128MB Graphics Card
*ATI Radeon 9800 Pro - 128MB DDR - AGP
*NVIDIA GEOFORCE 6200 LE
*PNY Nvidia GeForce 8500 GT
*Geforce Graphics Card 7600 GT
*Geforce 6200 512MB DDR2 AGP Graphics Card

I have a travelmate 5720g, which there is a mxmII slot that looks like it is possible to remove the current hd2600 and replace another one.
I have been searching around about graphics card upgrade on acer laptops, there are cases where people have upgraded from nvidia to ati and ati to nvidia sucessfully without problems.
Does that really mean as long as the mxm slot is capable of installing the graphics card, and upgraded your bios to the lastest version then it is just PLUG AND PLAY ?

I have an Acer Aspire 5585WXMi laptop, approx. 2 yrs old purchased in Singapore. It came with Intel's standard Graphics Media Accelerator 950 and I was wondering if there was any possibility of upgrading to the NVidia GPU? When I purchased the laptop I could have paid a little bit extra for the NVidia add-on but decided against (regretting now) so as far as I can tell it should be possible to add on the GPU module?

I have an ACER 4930G laptop, which came with a P9500 processor, 4GB RAM and an idependant NVIDIA GeForce9600M GS (256MB) graphics card.
I'd like to upgrade my graphics card to a GF9650 GT (1GB), or an equivalent card from ATI.
Does anyone know is it possible to upgrade the graphics card on my 4930G laptop?

I know there has been a lot of threads questioning this and generaly speaking most people have said it is not possible, but i really dont want to believe it as its the only thing that lets my laptop down!
computer specification
processor: intel core 2 duo CPU T5750 @ 2.00GHz 2.00 GHz
Memory: 2GB
OS: vista home premium
Graphics card: Mobile Intel 965 Express Chipset Family
is it possible to upgrade this graphics card?
if i cant then what would my best option be to have the same sort of specification as my current laptop, but with a decent graphics card? or invest in getting a desktop?
what this intel graphics card thing is and why it is so terrible for playing games?

Via MS windows update there is an update to Nvidia Quadro FX 770m graphics. I installed it, however the screen back light brightness got capped and would not go beyond 2 points (out of 5 points) and hence i had to revert back to original drivers.

Owner of an Acer Aspire 8930g.
I have successfully upgraded my CPU from a P8400(2.26) to a T9600 (2.8) so was reading through the MXM compatability thread and decided to pull my 9600m GT out just to double check which version it is, so I shut down the machine, removed the back and unscrewed the card, popped it out, comfirmed its the MXM-II type, reseated and rescrewed it back together.
Now I get a blank screen, external monitors dont work either.
I realised I forgot to remove the battery when removing the card, although machine was shut down.
I left it running for a bit with the back still off, felt the CPU and its hot as you would expect but the GPU was cold!

My laptop has recently overheated, and after 2 years of serving me, I still want to keep it, for memories, and as a backup.
The ati x1400 has overheated inside of it, and only part of the display shows, rest are lines of colour :P.
Question is, I need an ati x1400 replacement. Or if it's possible the upgrade (to x1600).

I purchased an Acer Aspire 5100 using it mostly for busines and writing. Now, I'd like to watch some videos, have an webcam, and play games, however, the integrated video card handles none of this well. It's slow and will sputter on something as simple as a short 60 second video clip.
I maxed out the 4GB Ram, thinking that Vista was using too much but it did not help.
Then I discovered this:
Quote:
For gaming, the graphics speed is enhanced care of the ATI Radeon Xpress 1100graphics card, with 128 MB dedicated memory. The card can tap into an additional 384 MB from shared system memory, for a total of 512 MB.
I did some research and found that I could go into the BIOS and change the memory from 128 to 512. I tried it, found the setting, changed it, and thought I'd find success. However, Vista somehow read these actions as an error and a failure to start, and would not start........................

I've got an Acer Aspire 5315 with the Mobile Intel GMA X3100 in it as standard on the motherboard. Granted this isnt a great card for a lot of (or any) modern games, but I was wondering if it's possible to have another (better) graphics card put in it?..
Maybe a better processor too, because its got a Celeron 550, but the graphics card is priority at the mo.

I am kind of frustrated with the DDR2 Performance that this machine pulls.
I might upgrade my Laptop to 3GB DDR2 RAM, and a different MXM Graphics card. (Type II)
Where can I get an MXM II card that will work on my laptop? I heard you need to flash, but I hear some models you don't and I have to take in the thermal into account.
I am looking to play Call of Duty 4, and so on.
is the X1900 compatible? I would rather get 8600M GT DDR3, but that might be too expensive.

if it's possible to upgrade my laptop's graphics, because I'm attempting to play a few games on it, and it runs them sooo slow. I don't think the Processor or RAM are an issue, but surely the GFX card is. Another thought I had was maybe upgrading my RAM to 2 GB, which could possibly give it a boost because I think my vid card draws some memory from the system?

This is my Aspire opened up
This is a close up where you can see that we can paste a MXM socket (230 pin's)
Now, if I paste a MXM soket it would look like this
But...
If I introduce a graphic card into this new port added by "me". Will my software recognice it?
The bios an windows can sopport it?
I know problems about heat (can be solved) but the important thing is the bios recognition and how to disable x3100 default integrated graphics right?
