Need some insight on Integrated Graphics card

xItzEdx · Feb 15, 2014

I've been wanting to upgrade my Integrated Graphics card (GT 620)
Would it be possible to remove this card and put another PCIe in its place?

Also, I have no clue what that green chip is and it doesn't say on the sticker so i'm reluctant on removing it. Any idea on what that green chip is?

Yes it would. Un plug it and insert the new card and connect the power connectorsa, providing your PSu has the needed 6 pin or 8 pin connectors for the GPu. these vary for each Gpu

If this is your PC, it only has a 300W power supply and that's not much to upgrade the graphics:

The PCI-E 1x card a t the bootom is the wireless card. If you don't need wifi, you can remove it.

The label on the card in the bottom slot indicates you have this prebuilt computer:

The GT620 is usually called a discrete gpu rather than integrated (since it's a pci-express card rather than being part of the cpu or motherboard). However, a better gpu will probably also require a better power supply, since prebuilts generally come with psus that are just barely enough for the components that are initially installed.

The card in the bottom slot is a wi-fi adapter. If you have a wired network connection, you don't need to leave it in.

Would replacing the PSU with this suffice? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139048

Also, Will i be able to upgrade the GPU to this? :http://www.amazon.com/PNY-GeForce-DisplayPort-PCI-Express-VCGGTX7702XPB/dp/B00CZ7Q028%3FSubscriptionId%3D16330PR1NAHTNCZP5602%26tag%3Dpriwat-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3DB00CZ7Q028

There's another detail you need to consider with a prebuilt computer, which is difficult for me to check online ahead of time, and that is how much space do you have for components inside the case? That psu is 160mm long, and if the psu that came with that computer is only 140mm long, the new psu might not fit. Also, the new gpu you're considering is 11.2 inches long, so there is a possibility that it won't fit either.

MauveCloud :

I too took that into consideration and found this one for the PSU instead :http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139028

And as for the graphic card i believe it should fit. The Length of the case is a total of 16in. I just gotta reroute the cords when the new PSU comes in to make room for the new GPU. Solid?

That psu should be okay, though others here have said that Corsair CX series is mediocre quality. If you can afford one, you might look for a higher quality 140mm psu from this list:

The gpu should fit fine in that case, now that youv'e provided a full side view with it open. Some cases don't provide that much of their depth for video cards.
