As soon as you plug one in, it will disable the onboard gpu and you will be able to use the graphics card that you installed.</P> Tue, 05 Feb 2013 16:59:25 GMT Tabbiekatz 2013-02-05T16:59:25Z http://community.acer.com/t5/Desktops-All-In-Ones/Can-my-aspire-am3470-uc30p-s-gpu-be-upgraded/m-p/40797#M2357 <P>Can my aspire am3470-uc30p's gpu be upgraded?</P> Tue, 05 Feb 2013 16:38:05 GMT http://community.acer.com/t5/Desktops-All-In-Ones/Can-my-aspire-am3470-uc30p-s-gpu-be-upgraded/m-p/40797#M2357 taqrin 2013-02-05T16:38:05Z http://community.acer.com/t5/Desktops-All-In-Ones/Can-my-aspire-am3470-uc30p-s-gpu-be-upgraded/m-p/40821#M2359 <P>If it is a desktop and you have an open slot, then yes.

I've already upgraded the graphics with a 1 gig gddr5 radeon HD6790 and maxed out the ram at 16 gigs, I just want to know if I can change the cpu up from the 2.4 that's in it now?</P> Tue, 05 Feb 2013 17:10:43 GMT http://community.acer.com/t5/Desktops-All-In-Ones/Can-my-aspire-am3470-uc30p-s-gpu-be-upgraded/m-p/40829#M2360 taqrin 2013-02-05T17:10:43Z http://community.acer.com/t5/Desktops-All-In-Ones/Can-my-aspire-am3470-uc30p-s-gpu-be-upgraded/m-p/40865#M2362 <P>oh, ok. you asked if the gpu could be upgraded, not the cpu. Thank you for that clarification. From the specs, this has an AMD A8-3800 in it. I do not think this can be upgraded anymore. I do see other models with the A6 processor, but the highest that I see here is the A8 processor that you already have. The motherboard is usually designed for certian processors and it seems that this is the highest that it can go. Hope this helps.</P> Tue, 05 Feb 2013 17:49:31 GMT http://community.acer.com/t5/Desktops-All-In-Ones/Can-my-aspire-am3470-uc30p-s-gpu-be-upgraded/m-p/40865#M2362 Tabbiekatz 2013-02-05T17:49:31Z
