As long as your motherboard has PCI-Express 16x 2.0 then by any means yes. Be sure that your PSU has sufficient power for this graphic card. According to the official Nvidia website, the minimum wattage is 500 - Link : http://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-gtx-760/specificationsOnce you install it, be sure to remove ATI/AMD video card driver and then install a nvidia driver, to avoid possible conflicts loading driver.

yes, but first delete the drivers on the Radeon card and then shut it down and remove the card and install the new one. Should work much better than the Radeon.

Yes, but for this particular system is designed well. If you have another Graphics card laying around, I may swap it but I wouldn't spend $500+. The installed Video Graphics NVIDIAB. GeForce GTX 880M graphics with 8GB total GDDR5 is a very dependable card that I wouldn't swap.

No. It's really hard to upgrade a GPU in a laptop. Even if you could; a more powerful GPU means you would need a new power supply as well.

The processor in the computer has no impact on which graphics card you can have. Windows 7 is good but what actually determines the compatibility of this graphics card is the pci express slots on the motherboard and the power supply. You must have at least a 1 pci express slot 2.0 or higher. Then you must make sure that your power supply has an extra 6-pin PCI-E power connector from base of the power supply. The stock power supply's in a computer will most likely not be enough.

Hi Laura, We don't have anything proprietary on the machine so as long as the card and power supply fit in the chassis (and it should), you should be able to upgrade both easily :)

No, the HP Pavilion g7-2223nr is a notebook PC. The Evga GeForce GT 430 is for a desktop PC.

As long as the computer has an AGP slot for it. If it is an older model pc with a p4 as an example it will work. Now If your pc has a pci-e slot this wont work but if it does I do recommend a radeon hd 6450 its a nice upgrade for it. If you can tell me what model PC you got or motherboard it would really help me out

It looks to me like it might be touch and go, as previously mentioned one limitation could be space for the card - although the HD7850 is a fairly small, it might be best to pop the side off your case and check out the room available. The other sticking point would be your Power Supply (PSU), the HP web page I am looking at says it came with a meager 250watt PSU - VisionTek's webpage recommends a 450watt PSU for this card.

I installed a Nvidia GEForce but the box said it needed a 500 watt power supply. Rather than risk it, I replaced the power supply also. Adds another $60 to the expense. But, it's working.

The dv7 is a newer computer and motherboard is total different shape so the answer would be no. Good luck though

Hi Candace. This should replace the original card - and should go in the same slot that the original one is removed from. You will also need to attach a little jumper cable (provided in the upgrade kit) between the graphics card and a socket on the motherboard. Whole installation should take under 1/2 hour including opening and closing the case. So far, the card has been performing perfectly. Good luck to you! Ken.

Yes as long as you have an available pci express x16 slot available. I use this in my asus p8z77-v lk. Just make sure you look at you asus motherboard manual and verify you are putting it in the preferred pci express slot for your graphics card.

You can. But depending on the memory bandwidth of your processor and the capacity of your motherboard...you may not see an improvement. Radeon in general is garbage so you will see an improvement in stability...even when pushed past it's limits this card will keep going and it sheds heat well...so no blue screens or lockups. I have been raping this board for a year with what should be meant for rendering cards and not a hiccup. So up to you....I recommend it.

No you cannot. Your laptop has an AMD motherboard. This one shown is Intel. Call HP - they can tell you the "part number" you need. Then you can search more effectively.

From what I read on AMD you can. But I think you have to set the Radeon in 1st slot to be primary. And use external bridge connector for them.

I can't answer as to what your computer supports, but the installation is simple. Take out the old card, put in the new one, install the drivers.

According to the specs, it has a PCI Express x16 port and from the pictures looks like it would allow a full size graphics card. Here's the how-to install a graphics card for that specific model: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03028387&tmp_task=useCategory&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&product=5193505
