HP Pavillion G6 notebook integrated graphics card upgrade

[McDohl01]

hai Paul, how are you?

i have an HP pavilion g6-1113TU Notebook PC

is it possible to upgrade/replace the graphic card and RAM on this notebook?

Hi:

I am doing fine thanks, and I hope you are too.

The graphics on your notebook cannot be upgraded or replaced without a complete motherboard change.

This normally costs as much as buying a new notebook with better graphics, so that is not an economical option.

You can find the memory upgrade info in chapter 1, page 3 of the service manual at the link below.

Maximum is 2 x 4GB of memory.

Hi Paul,

I've got a g6-2053ef with 2,1 GHz APU AMD Quad-Core A8-4500M avec carte graphique Radeon HD 7640G + 7670M Dual Graphics and 6 Go ram DDR3.

Same question here but i dlike to know can i upgrade the cpu to the richland a10 5750m  HD 8650G but i believe that would mean i would have to change the gpu 7670M to an other one if i still want to use . if it is not possible can i change instead to a A10 4600M Radeon™ HD 7660G so i believe the graphic card would not have to be change. Although I believe wichever i chose I will have to update the BIOS ? Does HP would release it ?

Best regards

HI:

I would say no to the A10-5750M, and I can't say for sure, but it does look like you can upgrade to the A10-4600M processor.

Please see chapter 4 of the service manual, page 72, where it shows the removal and replacement procedures for the processor and lists the supported processors with part #'s.

Thank you paul for the answer.

Oh and by the way would it be possible to change from AMD Radeon HD 7670M with 1 GB of dedicated video memory which is what i have for a AMD Radeon HD 7670M with 2 GB of dedicated video memory which is what i suppose to come along the A10 4600m when it s the native cpu.... or is it wich i am afraid of a NO WAy haha 🙂

Don't know if i am really clear tho.

Looking forward for you reply.

thanks

You're very welcome.

I would say that would require a motherboard replacement.

Look at chapter 3 to confirm that there is a separate motherboard that has a 7670M with 2 GB of memory.

haha, you are right once again so the answer is the big NO way 🙂

Hi paul I know this is not the place for it but I have a problem with th HD 7640G + 7670M dual graphic.

Catalyst says that My Vram is only 512mb.

I posses a g6 2053ef so I think it should at least be 1 Gb no ?

My drivers and BIOS are updated.

PLease I need some help

Cheers

Hi:

It may depend on what graphics card the catalyst is looking at.

This is right from the product specs for your notebook:

Video Graphics

AMD Radeon HD 7640G + 7670M Dual GPU (1 GB DDR3 dedicated)

I think it is the 7670M that has the 1 GB of dedicated memory.

But other than that, I wouldn't know why it is reporting 512 MB.
