Dell :: You CAN Upgrade Your Video Card

Jul 6, 2009

According to a Dell Rep at least.. This is mostly for the people who have the SXPS 16 with the 3670. I was speaking with a dell rep today and she told me that if I were to buy a 4670 and called tech support.

I could ask for their help to install the video card without voiding warranty. I don't know if this is true..

but does anyone know where to get a 4670 besides Dell's site where it's $109

Dell :: Video Card Upgrade For M1730

Feb 12, 2008

If I bought m1730 with geforce 8800m can I upgrade it later to get the geforce 9800m? If yes, do I buy the video card and install it myself or I buy the card and dell technician will come to my house and install it for me?

Dell :: XPS M1530 Video Card Upgrade

Jul 27, 2009

I bought my XPS laptop a couple of years ago and got it with the 128 mb GeForce 8400M GS.

I read on a couple of different websites that you could upgrade the XPS videocards on the XPS.

I went to the Dell website upgrade section and when I entered my service tag number, video cards wasn't an option to upgrade; though motherboards were.

Is it possible to upgrade the videocard to the 256 mb GeForce GT; which I should have purchased to begin with? Do I have to buy a new motherboard and put the 256 chip on it? Lastly, is the 256 the only video card I can buy to replace the 128?

Dell :: E1705 With Video Card Upgrade

Mar 11, 2009

A couple days ago my E1705 laptop screen started flickering then shut off on me. I restarted my computer but then screen would still not turn on then i found out that my video card was fried.

I bought my E1705 back when Dell only offered the Ati x1400 and the 7800 geforce go cards and i currently have the 7800.

i have searched around and seen that the 7900 gtx go could be a replacement but everyone who talks about it as a replacement came with a later model E1705 with the 7900 gs installed already

Dell :: Upgrade The Vostro 1700 Video Card

Nov 29, 2007

I want to upgrade the DELL vostro 1700 video card (8600M GT). I was thinking for a GeForce Go 7950 GTX (possibly SLI) or a 8800 GTX (again, possibly SLI). Perhaps evena Quadro FX 3500M could be suitable (if there are modifications of drivers in order to play with games).

Dell :: Inspiron 1720: Want To Upgrade Video Card (intel 965)

Jan 7, 2010

i would like to upgrade my video card, if it is possible and if it is worth it. my 1720 has the mobile intel 965 express chipset family. ive seen sigs (dr650se and someformofhuman) stating that they have the nvidia 8600m gt and was wondering if this is compatible with my 1720.

also i found out through this forum that i can upgrade my cpu (which is the measly t5450 1.66 ghz) to the beastly t9300, and add a 2nd hard drive (which is my first step in upgrading this dell because i only have a 160 gb drive).

i was looking for a new laptop until i came across this forum and found out the possibilities of my dell. i decided to stick with this and just upgrade it! thanks for the insight, and thanks in advance for all the help that i will be asking for!

Acer :: Aspire 4736z Video Card Upgrade/add

Oct 1, 2009

i just recently bought this laptop and was first satisfied with it's features.

But then.... 64MB of system video memory?

Come on Acer. And so I was thinking if I could add some graphics like buying a decent video card for it.

I heard that video cards for laptops are in PCI express.

Can my Acer use it?

IF and only IF this Acer Aspire doesn't have the ability to use a new video card, is there any other way I could improve its graphics like getting some of the built-in shared memory and putting it in the video?

Sony :: How Can I Enable My Dual Mode Of Video Card After Win 7 Upgrade

Mar 27, 2010

I recently acquire a VGN-SZ491N from ebay and since I don't really like Vista, so I wipe out the hard drive and install Windows 7 Ultimate from scratch. I followed the following steps and everything works fine except for the video card portion.

A. Install Windows 7
B. Install missing / unknown drivers
C. Reboot and install the utilities, in the following order:

1. Sony Utils DLL
2. Sony Shared Library
3. VAIO Event Service
4. Setting Utility Series

After Step C, I reboot my laptop and then able to install Nvidia driver and upgrade the video card from generic one to Nvidia at Speed mode.

But when I manually switch from speed to stigma, nothing happen, so I would like to know what should I do to enable the Intel video card portion and make it work in Windows 7.

Dell :: Studio 17 Amazing But Only 256 Ram On Video Card

Feb 26, 2009

I'm looking at the Studio XPS 16 right now, because the Studio 17 doesn't have the option of coming with a 512 meg video card ( very disappointing )

If you look at the base system for the Studio 17, it's an amazing machine with the 2.4 ghz chip, for around $1,000. Crazy stuff. This is a beautiful laptop, but with only 256 megs of fram on the video card it just isn't good enough.

With that said, what other options are there for laptops with a 2.4 ghz chip, and a 512 meg card out there right now ?

Dell :: Studio XPS 16 With 4830 Or 4860 Video Card…How Likely Is It?

Oct 20, 2009

I would like to say you all have been great in helping me out and making sure that this is the right notebook for me. One of you PM’ed me saying that the HP 15 Envy might be better for me due to the fact that it is a better gaming card.

I totally agree with you and I appreciate you letting me know more about it, I took a good close look. However, the Envy just wasn’t for me. Theres no backlit keyboard, optical blu-ray drive, or RGB screen.

However they are similar in size, the Envy even being thinner. So I would say it is logical to have an ATI mobility 4830 or 4860 placed into the studio 16 notebook. Their both smaller at 40nm so they run a lot cooler and use less power. Of course I would prefer the 4860HD .....

Dell :: Studio XPS Can I Upgrade Video Cards?

Apr 25, 2010

Tomorrow I will be ordering the Dell Studio XPS 17.3" for 1.5k.

It comes with EVERYTHING I've always wanted such as i7, 1tb HD, blu ray, 6g ram, etc.

My only quarrel is the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4670.

1) Can this card handle all current games on high/max?

2) Can I upgrade it in the future by swapping it with something better?

Dell :: XPS Video Card Death

May 18, 2009

took my 1730 apart to blow out the dust and quiet a noisy vid card fan. Upon re-assembly, I used a long screw instead of a short when securing the monitor back to the body of the laptop.

That screw pierced a resistor and killed my video card... POOR design Dell + idiot move me= dead 1730. The short of it is, I need someone who has had their 1730 apart to tell me the value of the resistor R12, which is under the rubber flap below the left lid support screw.

(UPDATE) I purchased a new card..I know, I know, but I had to as I had projects that I needed access too. I would still like to fix this card though.

The R12 resistor is a micro resistor with "2A2" printed on top of it.. Anyone have any idea where I can get one of these? I thought at first it was 202 but under the magnifying glass I am pretty sure its "2A2".

Dell :: XPS M1730 Video Card

Mar 22, 2009

Both m8800gtx have an error code 43 in hardware device manager (vista32).
Well, here is what is going on. I have an m1730 that has been working A1 since I got until yesterday when I installed CoD:WaW.

It might be just a coincidence though because the game was playing good for a while until I got kicked out of the game and when I tried to launch the game again it said I had a DirectX corruption. So I took a look at directx diag and saw no problem, except for video card info showed nothing!

This is where I decided to look in hardware manager and saw the dreaded exclamation point (error 43) for both my cards.
I did a full video driver uninstall, then did a driversweeper and took out all nvidia stuff and tried to install my drivers again and still get the same error!

Are my video cards messed up? I will be attempting a clean install on another spare drive today to see if it really a driver/software conflict.

Dell :: Help With Video Card Problem

Aug 30, 2009

My wife and I have a couple of Latitude 600m's both seemingly with Radion 9000 video cards.

Her HD has been on the fritz, and my mother board seems to have been on the fritz recently (not powering on), and seems to have finally died, so I put my HD in her machine and everything - except - the video seems to be working properly.

Basically the only two display options I have under the video properties are 1024x768 and 800x600... whereas in the HD's native machine, I can go considerably wider.
